find the framerects to the title screen and expand them

(use CTRL F ans search Title screen, it will take you to the address.)

i cannot understand any of that.

 

Nope, let me paraphrase... if you will? I'm saying Fadoink might've not known that, and was just saying he knows how to change tilesets because he didn't know very well. Might as well delete the first post, this phrasing sounds much more intuitive.

Or sold? I don't even... who the heck is Sold?​

 

Yeah okay I see what you mean but the first part about lying threw me off
Also don't delete your posts because you sound dumb or think you sound dumb it's just stupid and also makes the conversation more confusing
Also I'm Sold
He is me

 

Hey, I'm new to cave editor, and have 2 questions.
How do you change the room qoute starts in? I went to settings and changed it but he still starts in the first cave.
Second, How do you link a door to another room and stuff? Theres no option like that in the entity veiwer...

 

For changing the start room, just right-click somewhere on the map and and click "set start location", very easy. As for linking a door to a room, make a door entity, give it an event number, and insert some script to the event number. To add a script, go to "map" --> "edit script" and build some script from there. You can start with this: <PRI<FAO0000<TRA0000:0000:0000:0000

 

No, start room as in the room where qoute starts a new game

 

To set Quotes start location you have to open the map you want him to spawn in and then right-click the specific tile you want him to spawn on, a drop down box will appear, click the option that says "Set Start Location". Next time you load the game Quote will start there.

Use this HERE it has a tutorial on how to make a door that takes you to a new map along with other useful script tutorials

In future look around before asking and if you can't find an answer post your question in the Quick Modding/Hacking Answers Thread instead of making a new thread for every question.

Also, welcome to the forums!

 

Hey, I'm starting to mod and am getting some errors.
First, I changed the start room in settings to a new room that I made. But It still started in 'startpoint' for some reason. Then, I decided to link the door in start point to my room. But it turns out whenever I go into my new room it brings up a strange dialouge box tat has a bucnh of spam in it. What is wrong?

 

I want to put new scripts into cave story.

 

Go into notepad, dont type anything, save as "(insert the script name here).tsc" as the filename, change the document time from txt to all files, and then save in the data folder.

 

how to I add it to cave story?

 

Go into notepad, dont type anything, save as "(insert the script name here).tsc" as the filename, change the document time from txt to all files, and then save in the data folder.

That won't work

To answer the original question, you don't. Use an editor.

 

I have a script in my starting level that runs when a door is opened that looks like this:

#101
<KEY<SOU0011<HMC<FAO0004 <TRA0001:0100:0001:0005 <END



Except when I run it all the commands run except the transport one. I tried the transport command transporting to the room qoute was in, and it works. Why woun't it transport qoute out of the room?

 

Are you remembering to <FAI on the recieving event

 

I'm sorry if I'm being stupid but, I have not been able to find the answer to this anywhere on the internet.
how could one make breakable blocks that don't look like breakable blocks? tile type 43 shows the breakable block sprite and I want to make one that blends in with the wall.

Thanks in advance,

Change in npcsym.pbm

 

Thanks a lot; that will be very useful to my mod.

 

I have a question, and so does my friend (who can't access these forums for some reason).

My question:
Is there a way (outside of ASM and sprite edits) to use the blue flame sprites that are at the bottom-right (or whatever direction is opposite to the Deleet) or are those only usable by sprite edits (replacing something else like the Force Field or Fireplace entities) and ASM hacking?

My friend's question:

What are the requirements for the 2x resolution hack?

And would it be possible to make something like this?

I want to know from other people than Randolf/Wayne/Mixer8421/whatever his Cave Story forum username is.

(Links and the IMG BBCode get mangled for some reason, so I had to place it within code tags. :/ )

 

How many ticks do you have in water before drowning?

 

You have 1000 ticks in the water, possibly give or take a few.

Spoiler

I set a screen recorder to record the game at 10 fps, and when it did, the remaining air dropped one unit at intervals that were nearly synchronized with that of the seconds counter on my watch. So if one unit drops every ten ticks, then since you have 100 air, it would last 1000 ticks. I also took the 10 fps recording and multiplied the number of seconds Quote was in the water before he drowned by 10, which gave me 998. Mind you, I didn't make precision my top priority, but the bottom line is: The amount of ticks you have under water is very close if not equal to 1000.
