Quick Modding/Hacking Answers Thread

@Reuben
If you hate scripting you shouldn't be a modder.

If you hate scripting enough to rewrite TSC into a C++ interpreter using ASM, you SHOULD be a modder.

 

Any help for me?

Sorry bro. Resource Hacker is one of a kind.
We could try writing an addon for Booster's Lab that would do the same thing, but no one's working on one yet.

 

Is there some way to make backgrounds appear if the map was made by New Map instead of Copy Map in CaveEditor?
Or is that an unfixable problem?

Always use Copy Map.
There is a way to fix the background, but it requires hex editing and is kind of obscure.

No one's asking you to make a mod. If you don't enjoy doing it, then don't do it.
That being said, if you just hate scripting because it's hard, then suck it up. If you want to make a mod you have to work hard to acquire the skills to make one.

 

Scripting isn't hard. It is boring though.

This doesn't answer your question but you should know that "<MNACorridorOfGhost2" does not show "CorridorOfGhost2" on the screen. In fact it does nothing but make text sounds. <MNA shows the caption of the map on the screen - the CAPTION, not the NAME.

As for the doors, remove flag 4000 from them. They'll work.

 

Awww....i am stuck on going to my own created custom room.How do i know whether what number is the room?

Search for it, I guess?

In CaveEditor there's a block that displays the map's filename (without the extension). For example, the Sacred Grounds is "Hell1" "Hell2" "Hell3" "Hell4" and "Hell42"
I dunno about the other editors.

 

I need help in rooms.I created a room,but i dont know its number( for example 0092) what do i do??

 

Look at the number of the room. That is the number of the room.

 

Change the map's name so you can easily identify it. Make notes on stuff like flags and important room numbers if you have to.

 

Is there any way of disabling LV. 3 Machine Gun's levitation ability?
How can I change the sounds in the game?
Thank you in advance.

Both require assembly.

Changing sounds is easy. All you need to do find a CALL 420640 and modify the push right before it.
Not to be shamelessly plugging, but my Physics Editor for Cave Story can change the sound of certain weapons.

For machine gun, edit the gun's code and remove the velocities.

Maybe he means changing the soundfiles themselves, in which case you'd need SeaTone and it's pusher/puller for soundeffect files.

 

How can I add NPCs

Using the map editor in Sue's Workshop or Cave Editor?
