Quick Modding/Hacking Answers Thread

Gonna end up with a lot of empty entities taking up slots if you use that pattern everywhere

On RPG Maker is almost the same thing. The game just makes the npc invisible, not interactable and can pass through it. I noticed it in a certain bug when I was making a game.
But yeah, these things we do to put the npcs out of sight...

 

well cave story has a hard limit of like 512 NPCs (or fewer, in certain circumstances) active at once so, be aware of that

does that have anything to do with in one mod i made i put like 100 of those sun things that explode into those mini sun things (in the sand zone) and eventually all npcs stopped dropping experience?

 

yes

 

How do I get a <SSS sound effect when starting a new game in that saved area?

<SSS have to be set every time you load or start the game. It can be every value you want. You can try an invisible or null Npc to activate it.

how would the npc activate it

Set the Option1 on the NPC flags (that horizontal/vertical scroll npc sets. On BL I think it's the interactible set.)
Edit: It's Horizontal/Vertical Trigger Npc. Forgot the name.

oh so make sure its not there the first time you enter the room, but when you save keep it on the save point, instantly <DNP it and have it make the stream?

 

Yes.

 

Yes.

That's a really good idea!

I think i did something like that when i use <CMP with blocks and put a save point in that area

i guess the original cave story never had any of those moments where you had a save point with a <CMP command there

 

How do I animate Sue to be held by Igor?
I thought it was ANP0013 but it's not working.

 

You need to use ANP 0013 on Sue. If that doesn't work, try making Igor's event number 501?

501 worked! How?

 

That's the event number of Igor in the Egg Corridor. ANP13 must be hard coded to use that event number. It wouldn't really know otherwise -- but this means you can (probably) have anything pick her up, rather than only Igor.

Just checked that out.
Yeap, anything can hold Sue...
That's so cool!

 

Does anyone know how to change the damage that the falling blocks do?
Like the falling blocks in the balcony after the island is falling or the 2nd sacred ground place

and is it possible to give the small ones say 5 damage and the big ones 10 instead?



ALSO...........

Sometimes when i use skipflags to speed up text (not completely remove), the text overlaps itself and because a weird blob of text (normally after each <NOD)

Does anyone know how to fix this

 

I hope this doesn't count as a double post since my last one was a while ago (and this is unrelated) but I have another question
Is there a sprite of sue as a human or do i need to animate that somehow?

Theres a few in NpcGuest but they're only of her standing and sneezing, and no walking/jumping.

 

Cave Editor sucks horribly. I can't edit entities with it. Fuck that shit.

I only ever use it to edit the entities. It's simple, you know!

 

Congratulations, you've replied to a 9 year old post in this thread.

I can only find one with itoh and sue combined sneezing/transforming

Also i can't find kazuma's sprite????

The one of him just standing like on the outerwall
Actually i just checked there and it says its called "Cairn" or something
Why is kazuma this "cairn" thing
