I'm mostly covering the same ground as people before me, but I hope to do things better.
I've been researching Cave Story's file formats, and plan to write my own tools for them too.

Random fact: NICALiS screwed up text encoding in some of the TSCs in CaveStory+.

Also, I'm maintaining a list of the different versions of Cave Story:

- if anyone has versions not listed, please share them ^^

 

Don't we have most of this already, if not all?

Quite possibly. I'm just doing this myself to learn more about the internals of Cave Story.

 

basically
I mean the function list isn't 100% complete or sometimes accurate so that would be useful to have finished
but the hacks aren't anything new and I'm pretty sure we don't need any more editors

Initially, I've just done functions that interest me. I'll work on adding ones missing from your list.

I'll work on expanding the hacks too. And we always need more editors!

 

Even without aim, I hope you don't miss the chance to make good programs, I'm waiting for a program that quickly applies hacks at the speed of sauce.

Edit: Seriously? Nobody mentions the pun I put here?

Oh sorry, I forgot about hackinator. It won't work for me- most likely it's incomplete.

 

well thanks for letting me know, I'm great at fixing problems I don't know exist

I have no idea what the pun is. I might make some kind of hack-applying program, but what's wrong with the existing ones?

"Hacks at the speed of sauce".
If it had been spoken out loud, it would sound like "Hacks at the speed of source".
Problem with Doukutsu Assembler is that it's forgetful of the filename, so debugging takes a bit longer as you have to re-enter the file name...

 

1. how is that even close to being a pun
2. what about the hackinator

I don't know about these details, it's not my pun. I'm just guessing.
(EDIT: Well, QuoteHax, you got your wish, apparently. May not have happened in the way you wanted, though.)
