I made my enhanced Quote for one of my 3 in-progress mods, but when I put it in place of the usual MyChar.pbm, Cave Story gives me a japanese error and closes. Help?

I usually go into cave editor after changing an image, open the file, and save it.
That fixes the japanese error for me. =D

Ah, but I edited it in Cave Editor. I'll try it, though. Thanks.

EDIT: Nope, didn't work. =\

2 things:
  1. Did you use a hex editor to add "(C)Pixel" to the end? (If yes, go to 2. If no, try that.)
  2. Does it match the original dimensions of the original MyChar? (I usually got an error if it was too small...)

It was the first one. Thanks, DragonBoots. And thanks for trying, Pozeal.

I have taken the (C)Pixel requirement out of my exe. This won't happen again.

you either use a hex editor or the CS hacking tool cave editor.

I know. I looked in the .exe with XVI32. There was nothing at all related to (C)Pixel.

Ctrl-F in Doukutsu.exe and search for (C)Pixel, replace it with 00

Is there any upside to even having the (c) pixel in thar?

Quite simply, I think it was an attempt by Pixel to make the game somewhat more "un-hacker-friendly"...
I mean, you spend some of the best years of your life perfecting one of the greatest games ever, and then see someone take it and make a mockery (no offence to all you avid modders) of what he sees it as...

I guess he did it that way so only the most avid fans would make a mod...
Keep things like this one youtube vid I saw (and shortly after got removed for content issues), which just made a farce of it, from... "sullying" the image of his creation...

Or so I believe.
