Some NPCs are set to a specific spritesheet, such as NpcGuest and NpcRegu. They can also be set to a specific spritesheet in the Data folder instead of the Npc folder (for example, the Quote NPCs are set to MyChar). There are also some NPCs set to the tileset being used in the room (like the Lift Block and Large Shutter from the Core room).

Ok, that's cool...

Now how does one actually CHANGE what the Npc's are set to?

 

Here's where you can change the NPC's set in npc.tbl

Figures the ONE GOD DAMM PLACE I FORGOT TO LOOK IN.

 

Can someone tell me the asm offsets for the health of each of the 'major room bosses?'

I mean like Balfrog, Monster X, Ballos' third form etc

 

Eh... Hi guys.
So I saw something about debug saving, and I wanted to do that, but I have never ever EVER done hex editing before. Could someone help me out with this?

You just open cave story in a hex editor (like HxD - google it). Seek to the offset and change the value (make sure it overwrites the pre-existing value and doesn't add a value). Just change the values already there to what RuneLancer specified.

 

Well do you have a 32 or 64-bit OS? Google how to find out if you don't know.
Download the 64-bit version of ollydbg if you have 64-bit windows. And if that doesn't work, try this out - haven't used it and of course there are no guides around here that show it but it seems to do what olly does

Uh, I can't seem to find a 64-bit olly anywhere... do you know where it is?

Is a 64-bit OllyDbg even needed? Cave story isn't 64-bit(as far as I know) and I use the 32-bit version myself and haven't had any problems.
Also there isn't a 64-bit OllyDbg yet as far as I'm concerned.

I honestly blame my shitty laptop for the error.

Try explaining the exact steps you take(Starting from after you opened whatever you were using OllyDbg for) that causes the error.

CS is 32-bit, but that doesn't really have much to do with what version of olly you use - x64 bit olly will run better on x64-bit computers.
I'm pretty sure there's an x64-bit olly and that I have it downloaded, but I could be wrong. Of course if there isn't, @Kenzo_ITC should consider the other disassembler I linked.

I actually made a thread explaining my problem in the technical issues.

YOU EVEN REPLIED TO IT, SAYING THAT I SHOULD JUST TRY TO REPORT THE PROBLEM, WHICH REALLY DIDN'T HELP.

I already know this, but I think I had the same error when I used ollydbg about two weeks ago, later than when you started the thread and me answering.
I'm just asking what you did to try and help, no need to get so aggressive tbh.

Sorry, I wasn't trying to go off as aggressive.

Well here's how it went:

1. Set up olly, everything's fine...

2. Load up Dokutsu, everything's still fine...

3. Changed some offsets, and copy to excutable.

4. Try to exit out and it says:

"Would you like to save your changes?"

I click yes, and then that's when the error happens...

 

are you sure the file is not read-only

 

that's great but your statement doesn't contribute to a solution and only serves to take away from my attempt to diagnose the situation
