Quick Modding/Hacking Answers Thread

AHHHHHH I've barely done any of this before so I had to figure out what I was doing then I got to fiddling around with direction values

Yes they all work great, thanks heaps, this will make life much easier for me

Although I've since realised I needed the machine gun bullet speed address as well Is that them at 0x405322? I only see three values there...
SPEEDEDIT: Yes it's them, guess they only get one value per level each

Great work!

 

If you want to keep your sanity then you will never use OllyDbg to apply ready made hacks.
I recommend you grab a copy of Doukutsu Assembler and use that to apply assembly hacks that aren't in hex. If you find an assembly hack that IS in hex you can apply it using the BL hex patcher.

OK, welp, the problem is that i WAS using Doukutsu Assembler to apply the Infinet Mimiga Mask hack, but this happened:

Oh god.
I'm starting to be kind of annoying but...
Using BL's Hex Patcher did work, it doesn't crash.
But then i use <MIM0000 (Quote), works, <MIM0001 (Mimiga Mask Quote), Works, <MIM0002 (Easy Mode Quote), makes my character invisible. Is there something i can do for it to work?

 

I'm pretty sure it's not legal to rip the sprites of CS+

 

Here it is:
What do yoou mean by ripping them? i just edited the original ones...

 

Cave Story doesn't like images with a height over 240 pixels. (Using files over 320x240 creates weird results.) Try cropping it and try again.

You could make the MyChar sheet as long as you want if you want to use the <MIM hack. There was never a mention of a size limit.

 

Dude... i'm so stupid.
Turns out that the MyChar i had wasn't in the data folder and i just had the original MyChar instead.
Thanks for your help tough.

 

Oh, you made that version?

Have you accomplished that yet? Please do so immediately, so I don't have to waste another ten hours or so making him a hack for Ballos to have 4 additional attacks!

 

Well, he went to destroy me (and stabbed my calf)... but I checked the forums half way trough our battle, and when I got back he'd forgotten all about it.
*Everybody knows its his version now anyway*

Fuck I still have to waste another 10 hours

How do you edit the hitbox for Quote? I edit in in the NPC table and nothing happens.

Thats because quote is the player not a non playable character, so his settings are elsewhere
