Ikachan In-game Editor

Conspiracy? I think not.

How to access it, is to hold S while choosing NewGame. Or load your Saved Game position by doing the same, but while choosing LoadGame.

How to control :
Mouse or Arrow Keys - Move Cursor
Left Click - Create Object / Change Box Flag Up
Right Click - Delete Object / Change Box Flag Down
Z/S - Save

The HUD (Click on the boxes to change flags) :
NO - ID Number of the object in use [0 - 99]
CH - Sprite Set/Behavior [0 - 9]
X and Y - Current Coordinates of said object
SW - Object's Existance [0 - 1]
EV - Event [0 - 255]
TY - Type Flag [Block, Enemy, Event, Null]
COL -

Notes :
- To change the sprites of a certain sprite set, when placing an object with the left click, drag the cursor right or down.
- This editor has only seemed to edit objects, as of yet.
- Events seem to also take the direction of TSC. Edit Event.ptx to discover more about Ikachan TSC.
- You can also edit the Credits and the Beginning New Game Instructions, by editing Staff.pxt and Words.pxt


All I know of, as of now.

Apparently, I haven't seen a topic like this. I'll probably look stupid if there is.

Does it tell you anywhere in the game?

 

I stumbled upon it.
With skillz.

 

LOL now I don't need to make one, but I was sure there was one in the .exe because of the 'Editor.pbm' file... Now I know and I'm ready to make a mod!!

lol you sound excited

 

lol you sound excited

Sure I am, but there must be a edit function for blocks...
If it isn't there I have to make myself a editor lol...
Im only good at NES Assembler, but I think it would be a challenge to make something in DOS Assembler, the only prob is to load files and save files, its not too easy...

 

Editing the tiles will be simple. It's an 256-bit image called Map1.pbm in the PBM folder.

 

I never tought editing the pbm will cause to edit the map itself :x INSANE!

Well, you only can have 99 objects :/
And the placing won't work with resizing the map...

 

Found out about the Map1.pbm, this might be helpful:

 

are there no body there has made a ikachan mod?

i could be fun ;D

If I were to guess, I'd say it's probably because Cave Story is superior to Ikachan in all aspects, and therefore much more moddable, even without an in-built level editor.

 

Rumor

Dragonboots once said something about secretly making an Ikachan mod....

 

You're not very good at keeping secrets, Lowell. Maybe he's still working on it secretly and you just blew his cover wide open. It was going to be a nice surprise and you ruined it.
I'm joking. No one would ever make a mod for Ikachan.

 

If you ever wanted to see any Ikachan mod, you would have to invent a time machine, go back to year 2001 and kill Mr. Daisuke Amaya, and you can be sure that if you ever tried to do that, I would be after your sorry ass 'till the end of time. So yeah, no Ikachan mods for you.

 

I was. o.o
And I am.
But, uh, yeah.
To edit the block on the map, edit Map1.pbm in the PBM folder.
Each pixel is one block, the color determines the tile type.

 

Um... I don't see any reason not to make an Ikachan mod. It'd be quite different from a Cave Story mod, because it has different physics.
