Version 0.99c is bugged. You need to use 0.99, I believe.

 

SO thats whats been fucking up all my exe's and not saving correctly xD
Noted! Thanks Lunarsoul

 

Heh! I feel special.
Although it doesn't mess up your exe, it just freezes CE. If your exe is messed up, it's probably cause you used SW or have more than 102 maps.

 

Nope it wasnt CE what was the problem.
I dont know anymore :/
Like the game gives this in error.log

Lolwut.
What kind of crap files do you have in there?
Well, the files shown there are either not there (which means you've been screwing around with ASM) or don't have the (C) Pixel ending (which you can fix with CE).

 

I tell CE To remove the Pixel requirement but it clearly does not "/

 

If you send me the files I could probably fix it for ya.

 

Cave Editor sucks horribly. I can't edit entities with it. Fuck that shit.

... i find it helpful im using it on my first mod with it oh if you think its shit then what are you using?

 

Probably sue's

 

I started off with Sue's workshop cus it came with the deluxe package and I refused to go to another editor. I gotta admit Sue's workshop is pretty damn simple and smooth.

In all the time I used it though I very rarely had any .exe problems at all.
Its very stable indeed.

P.S I use cave Editor now due to seeing Noxid and GIR use it and Noxid gave me some tips

Sue's. ASM.

About your sig, I understand if you miss keys when you type. But do you seriously stare at the keyboard the entire time and post it before you can look up to see the errors?

 

Ok. Is there anyway to download a fresh copy of CS without...
-Having to download the CSD
-Or having to download the Japanese version AND English Patch?
My computer is being really stupid when I attempt to save to the CSD file.
Thanks

 

Not really, no.

Those are the only two downloads of the game we have.

 

Ok. Thanks anyway.

 

Ok, I have another question. I open the new downloaded game in CE, and edit it a bunch. Then, I save all my work, and open up the game. The work I just wasted half an hour on doesn't get uploaded to it.

Yes, I'm saving to the right thing.
Yes, I'm saving.
Should I not use CE right away? I just find SW kind of annoying.

tl;dr
Why can't I open up my saved version of CS?

 

Did you turn off "read-only" on the CS folder? You need to do that.

...How do I do that?

EDIT:Nevermind. Got it. Thank you.

 

Ok. In the first room, you jump into a hole. There are 2 entities, Flags are 0100, and they are the triggers for the <TRA. I also have a save point and health box in there. The save point's script is 0016, and the health box's is 0017, if that matters. Script:
#0076
<FAO0001<TRA0012:0071:0011:0005<END

It teleports you to the new map, at 11, 5, and triggers event 0071. There are no tiles at 11, 5. No entities in this map. Script:
#0071
<FAI0000<END
No, I don't want a <WAI, that's why it's not there.

I go to test it. I spawn in the first map, save then jump down the hole. The <FAI triggers, but then an error comes up.
What's causing it? I mean, I'm super early into this, and I don't wanna screw it up

Thanks.

 

...How do I do that?

EDIT:Nevermind. Got it. Thank you.

Hmm... There should be a begginers guide around here somewhere. I would recomend looking for it with the search function.

 

Ok. The error comes up everytime I use a <TRA. I've checked through the scripts 4 times. THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH THEM.
Man, I'm freaking annoyed.
