How do you change entity in Cave Editor/Change the main character to another NPC

I am currently making a Cave Story mod in Cave Editor, and I was wondering how you change the NPC being edited in the NPC Table Editor. Also, can you change the main character (quote) to another NPC, like Curly or Sue for example? Maybe even an unused NPC?

 

scroll up and down to see other npcs
to change the character just copy their sprites on mychar.bmp, for enemies, I would assume you have to add and make their sprites manually

 

can you change the main character (quote) to another NPC, like Curly or Sue for example? Maybe even an unused NPC?

So, you want the PC to be someone else? If so, that's easy. Just open the "MyChar" file(which is found in the data folder) with your pixel art editor or whatever(e.g. paint.net) and replace the sprites.
Also, I recommend using Booster's Lab for modding. It's the most advanced one and it will prevent some frustration.

 

1. Most fields should be self explanatory. It allows you to change health, exp it's worth, sound effects, bitmap that renders its sprites, and edit graphic size and hitbox size.
2. Use Mspaint.

I was being rhetorical with that. Especially considering what was being asked, lmao.

 

oh, ok

 

lol I never dreamed this many ppl would reply to my posts
And none of these posts really answered my question

 

And remember to experiment with your tilesets when you make a map. You'd be surprised how many interesting combinations you can create.
Just a random tip.

Imagine expecting none. Also, I'd suggest asking in the Quick Modding Questions/Answers thread next time.

IDK which runtime you need to download to run .jar files
Whatever I do it won't run

You basically need Java 8, the same one publically available for commercial use (and required to play Minecraft). Java 14 exists, but that's for if you wanna code in it.

 

I got java but now Booster's Lab just flashes up the DOS prompt for 1 sec and does nothing. I'm on Windows 10

Did you extract only the jar file? You need the whole folder it's in extracted.

 

NVM got it working

When double clicking a .jar file a cmd window opens briefly and then disappears, but the .jar file isn't executed

I am looking for a solution to the problem posed in the title. When I double click a .jar file, or right click and open, it simply opens a black cmd window for a split second, then closes it, and n...

Also, you place entities with the "I" key in Booster's Lab(This is very important!). Don't listen to evil people who say otherwise.
