Okay, I realised that. But you guys could correct me, which would be more productive than those sarcastic insults.

But we were correcting you? That's been like all of the last 10 posts or so.

 

I think your quoting the wrong person???

Anyways, Big9ize, If you want to change the starting scene you need to edit the map named "Kings" that's the map used in the beginning cutscene.

Thx Kenzo! Hopefully I will be able to finish the entire game. I'm always lazy and I want to start doing something, but never actually finish doing what I'm doing.

 

Hey, is there any way to project a timg image over the text box?
I want to use it to replace the <FAC command.

 

I think doors had a hack kinda like that

E: here it is; zxin dug it up for me

Where can I find the starting value of the player's air?(you know, when the player enters a body of water without having the air tank)

Look at 0x4169C4 - the initial value is 1000 (3E8h).

Look at 0x4169C4 - the initial value is 1000 (3E8h).

The actual variable is a DWORD at 49E6DC, and is actually 10 times the air value shown; it counts down from 1000 (base 10).
There are 3 pieces of code for water, there's the water tile, the water level entity, and something else.
Offsets for codes that set the air value:
41699D
4169C4 (Mentioned by q3hardcore)
41D47F
The value it sets it to is 0x3E8, or 1000 in dec.

 

Whenever I make a Boss Battle; after you win; the boss simply disappears. Here's the script:

None of the text appears.

I think you have to delete the boss NPC or change it to something else.

And uh, make sure the boss runs event on death, and it's event number is 400.

Is it a legitimate shootable entity with an actual AI? Does it have flag 0x0200 set? You do need to actually delete it after the fight, if 0x0200 is set, BTW

 

OK. Thanks. Since this is my first boss battle (I'm experimenting)' I didn't really know what to do.

I mean, you could always look at the TSC used in the vanilla game for some examples on what you should be doing with them.

 

Here's your solution: http://www.cavestory.org/downloads/BoostLab_0430.zip

 

I already have BL. I can't use it because I don't have Java.

Then get Java?

 

Can't. Any ways to make a CS map background with CAVE EDITOR?

don't add new rooms

 

Make the picture > put it into data folder > name it whatever you want as long as it has the "bk" prefix.

Just change the original maps to your own.

 

Make the picture? (You mean to export it?)

save/export/write to disk/physically enforce it to exist

 

Make the picture? (You mean to export it?)

EDIT: What if I want to use some original maps?

Then make an older map into an original map! What, do you want us to hold your hand while you do that?

 

Just make the background, save it in the data folder and save it as a .bmp file with "bk" in front of the name.
You can set the background to a map by opening said map, press map and then properties. The rest should be obvious.
Don't forget that setting scroll type to scroll type 4 will make hide the background, so don't forget to change that if it's set on 4.

Also, have you actually tried installing Java?

Thanks for the better explanation Miccs.
