yes it does, you just need to open stage.tbl instead of the exe

Quite the endeavor you're making, translating an entire game into another language! Good on you.

Unfortunately, you won't be able to use booster's lab, as it only works on the original free version of Cave Story. However, you could try translating the free version of Cave Story as a new mod, then port that mod into CS+ using HaydenStudio's Plus Porter.

Here's a link for that

*edit* Go with Noxid's suggestion instead, that'll probably be easier. Good luck!

And how do I do? :c
in the CS+ there is a folder called "data"
within that folder there should be a file called stage.tbl

when you open the project with BL, that is the file to load.

Oh, thank you, but I was referring to the first message :c It didn't load your message.
By the way, I don't know if it is normal, but.. when I open the program, it says "Can't find sfxList.txt" and "Can't find help files!", but that sfxList.txt there is in the folder :/ How can I solve this thing?

did you unzip BL to its own folder before trying to run it?
either way, it shouldn't hurt much if it can't find those.

Yes, I unzipped all the files.. Strange D: But if it won't hurt, it's okay
Excuse me, but.. I select a map (for example, Arthur's House Pens1), I click on "Open", but nothing happens..? Is it normal?

hm..

is there a file called error.log in the folder where Booster's Lab is? that may have some information to help me diagnose the problem.

Ok guys, thank you all. Finally I understood how to do. I just used the Noxid's TSC Editor, loaded the tsclist and then the .tbl files, containing the texts of the game. Now I can translate CS+ in Italian uwu (I remember this game perfectly, it'll be easy)
(I just need to translate the graphics, but It will be easy, I think..)

Ops, didn't read it. No, there's nothing strange.. I think my PC is strange, it does a lot of similiar things

Isn't the dialogue in CS+ identical to CS?
Translations are similar in context, but worded differently. I personally prefer the free version's translation over CS+

I just want a CS+ translated in Italian D: With challenges, good graphics, Remastered & New ost and so more.
But the translation in CS+ is so bad...? When playing and translating I noticed, yes, but is it so bad? D:
Oh, and I want to translate the title texts, too. How can I do this? I looked for all the .tsc files, but nothing..

Try opening the game in a hex editor.

I think he's talking about the map names, and the only way to edit those iirc is to open the stage.tbl with BL and edit it in there.

I was talking about the title texts like "Press Z to start" and similiar ones... but I need the map names too uwu I have to try it.. The only problem is that Booster's Lab doesn't work well in my PC, but in that case I'll ask to a friend of mine
