Quick Modding/Hacking Answers Thread

The guide BLink just posted is probably the best one I've seen (not even kidding)

 

Play around with the sounds and the note placment until you find a place where the notes sound right, aand then make the song. Quite easy in theory, but then again, it's a theory. In actuality, it's hard if you don't practice.

It also requires some basic music theory if you wish to make original compositions, which if you haven't learned in band class or any music class in general could be hard.

 

Are there any guides on how to use OrgMaker?

You can also play and mess with the original CS music, it helps alot.
Also, I heard that CS doesn't like it when you use sound channel 8 and 7 if I'm not mistaken, and also some drums.

That only applies to the 7th and 8th drum channels, which will crash the game if you use an ORG with them.

Unless you use Noxid's WAVorg hack, right?

EDIT: NVM.

New question: If i have said hack, will I be able to use every intrument in Org v2 or would i need a certain set of instruments?

did you check the modding guides that have already been pointed out to you? I would suggest read up on them the next time you have a question because not only might they answer that question, they might answer future questions

 

Thanks.

Alright, so I want to mod Cave Story, just like you guys!
What I want to do is have Ballos speak some Dialogue before the second phase starts. How can I do this?

Gee, how helpful.
What I meant was "What do I have to do in order for this to work? What are the script changes that I have to make?"
Note: I am using CaveEditor for this, if this even matters.

I'm no expert, but I think you'd need to make some assembly changes, since Phase 1 leads right into Phase 2 via boss routines in the executable.
My guess - although it might not be the most efficient way, and you'd need the space in the executable to do this - would be to split Phase 1 Ballos from Phase 2 + 3 Ballos. After Phase 1 is killed, have a TSC event be run that says something, and then start the Phase 2 boss fight, which leads into Phase 3

This is definitely not very easy though - assembly hacking the executable is much more advanced

edit: strikethroughed, other suggestions are much better
