Did you check the wrong flag?

What to you mean?

 

Is the NPC set to delete once the flag appears?

 

He said he checked flag 0x800 so I doubt he checked the disappear flag as well

Only thing I can think of is if your kazuma entity id is set to npc 0 (empty). If so, you can just change that to whatever the kazuma npc id is.

 

It turns out that he will appear when I exit and enter the area. Maybe it has something to do with the flag jump?

 

Oh yes yes the entity with 0x800 will only show up when you reload the map so you will need to create another blank entity and <CNP it when you want it to appear (aka during the same time that you <FL+5000, preferably before you fade in in this case if I understand correctly)

 

I actually did try <CNP but I didn't know I should combine it with flags. Thanks a lot!
Quick question. Why don't I have to do that with chests?

 

Because chests are weird and can go die. I seriously hated them when I first started modding, and just gave up on them unless they where already in the map.

 

when i use CaveEditor to change the background to say, bkFog (the balcony background) all it does is turn it black.
oh and im doing this on a level i created with caveeditor, so ill post if it is just that map.

turns out that it IS caveeditors fault

i changed the start point to bkFog and the same thing happened....
it was black as usual

 

Make sure that you have the Scroll Type set to something other than "Black", otherwise the background will be black.

If that is not the problem, then I am not sure what the issue is. I prefer Booster's Lab.

Also, please post other problems in the pre-existing thread for it.

 

Don't use "Add Map" in CaveEditor. That feature is broken.

That's funny, it works fine for me.

 

the problems are subtle, don't use it

 

Just take Cave Editor of the tribute site. (Or move to defunct tools)

That should solve all the issues.

Debug Save Tutorial

A tutorial on how to enable the Debug Saving feature in Cave Story. It requires Resource Hacker.

I made a tutorial on how to enable the Debug Saving feature in Cave Story. Note that it requires Resource Hacker. If this is a bump, so be it, but I believe that the proper thread is still this one, so that's why I'm posting it here.

Edit: I know this was already discovered, but the image in the original thread has been taken down or something, as it no longer appears.

 

Oh, yeah, I completely forgot to ask. Could you add my guide to modding with boosters lab?
It's more a beginner guide that focuses on tsc scripting and editing some assets.

Here's the direct download link

 

Can my Open source mods and Beginner guide to NPCs be added?

Thanks in advance

 

I noticed that in the Cave Story Beta mod, since it was 60fps, you could go to the "HP extended by X" text before the whole Life Capsule song played, cutting the music off. Perhaps there could be a guide to stuff like that that one has to change in order for 60FPS to work?

Just expand the number of ticks in the <WAI from 140-160 to something longer.

Yeah, I know, but I meant all of the gotchas like that for 60FPS, like a list of what is glitched by the sped-up game process. I don't need it, just thought it would be a good resource.

 

Hey @DoubleThink , I realized yesterday that the link to Noxid's beginner guide (the second link in the OP) is broken. Was wondering if you could fix it with a replacement that I've uploaded here:
https://1drv.ms/w/s!AoZEkjioz2VPrG_b2htXamnwcRqG?e=hsQXtw

It's old, but it still holds up really well. The only parts that feel outdated are when Noxid talks about using Cave Editor instead of Booster's Lab, and also that some of the links still lead to MiraiGamer.
