Er no isn't it actually easier to change it in assembly
As long as you know what to change it's easier, at least

Code: 
CPU Disasm
Address   Hex dump          Command                                  Comments
00419935  |> \6A 01         PUSH 1                                   ; /Arg2 = 1
00419937  |.  6A 10         PUSH 10                                  ; |Arg1 = 10
00419939  |.  E8 026D0000   CALL 00420640                            ; \Amamichi.00420640
Change PUSH 10 to a different number. Remember to convert to hex first (PUSH 10 plays sound 16).

Thank you, it's works. :D



New Question:


I need to give King a teleport in/out command.


Where do I place the call command? And from what address?

I edit the original cave story to make a mod. When I play it after the game stays the same. UN-Edited.

It's always good to give more information. Like what program your using, what your editing, ETC.

You most likely forgot to disable the read-only status form the files.

right click on doukustu > properties > unckeck the read only box

do the same to the data folder.

So, I was making a mod using Cave Editor (not Sue's Workshop) and then the Doukutsu.exe quit working and says it is not a valid Win32 application. This was right after I made the 102nd map, which said it was corrupted, so I removed it. Now it opens in Cave Editor, but the exe file no longer works. Help?

You will have to use a fresh Doukutsu.exe, the same thing happened to me, luckily I had a backup just before I added the new map that broke the game.

Okay, I have a problem with the fog background. Can anyone tell me [if where] where there is any portion of the 431 page long forum that has stuff about the fog background?

It depends on what your trying to do, If you want to change the Parallax scrolling you need to go to
*somwhere* in the exe and edit it. (using assembly)

If the background is just not showing correctly, you need to (assuming your using Cave Editor)
go under map settings > properties > scroll type. Change it to scrolling

That's where the frame rects are declared. You need to find where the image itself is drawn, it's a function call somewhere later in the code. It will push 2 values, the x and y coords you're looking for.

Happy hunting.

Oh, actually, it's something totally different. A glitch that only happens when I use the fog background. The actual background works, but the darn game only scrolles at a rate of 1 colum and/or row per second. I have absolutly no Idea why.
