Quick Modding/Hacking Answers Thread

I made a clone map of Mimiga Village, but the camera doesn't follow the player. I tried every scroll type.

try <FOM

 

try <FOM

Ooh. How could I be so stupid. Thanks for reminding me camera commands exist.

 

I need to slow down the fish missiles, which offset would I change, and what would I change it to?
Edit: Also, how do I make them properly killable?

 

Green ones. The polar star doesn't do anything to them. I have them run a script on death. But they don't die. I also made them not go through walls, but I don't know if that effects whether they take damage or not. They are also set to shootable.

In the script that runs on death, did you add a <DNP to it to delete the entity on death? (Though, they'd need specific event numbers, if I'm not mistaken.)

 

Oh, so it can't apply to all of them? I didn't have them be deleted on death, so maybe that's why.

 

not sure if this has been asked before (the site's search is shite and i'm not going to sift through 350+ pages) but how can i edit the machine gun's knockback?

 

What are Kazuma's ANP? I need to know.
Also, how come my NPC's walk BEHIND doors? He walks in front of a door, then he walks behind one. Any help?
EDIT: I only want Kazuma's walking animation.

the up/down knockback is in the machine gun (weapon) code, around the part when it shoots bullets
i can't really look up exact offsets at the moment

 

I need Kazuma's walking <ANP and I need to know why my NPCS go behind @Doors .

you might find this helpful http://www.cavestory.org/guides/basicmodding/guide/anp.txt

oh and i'm not sure why npc's go behind doors. maybe it has to do with the order in which they're loaded?

Think it's like 10 or something.

Anyways, doors are Npc's too, so they're effected by the draw order.
Just make sure that your doors have a lower draw order number than the other Npc's.

Draw order? You mean the number next to their name? Etc. One door says 3, the NPC says 5, and the next door says 7. The NPC goes through door 7. Also, Kazuma's 10 doesn't work.
Also, the ANP text sheet doesn't have Kazuma.

 

Look at the game files.

I did. It siad <ANP0003 but that didn't work. I found this thread, (http://www.cavestory.org/forums/threads/the-new-anp-txt-thread.5122/), but don't want to bump it because I have nothing to add. They mention Kazuma, but they never give out the specific <ANP. I'll look through the game files again.

The walking animation should be somewhere in between 1 and 10. 3 might work.

Anyways, yes, Npc's with a lower draw distance number will appear behind Npc's with a higher draw number.

ARIGHT, do <ANP0100:0003:0000
That should make any Kazuma with event #100 do the walking animation to the left.

 

How do I use Misery's lightning?

Pretty sure that's a Npc, don't know which one though...

It's Misery Lightning but doesn't do anything
