not letting me, it says 'file does not have an allowed extension' when i try and upload

Compress the 3 files into a ZIP file (look up a tutorial if you don't know how) and upload that.

 

there you go

please ignore the terrible dialogue

 

there you go

The event numbers in the script must always be 4 digits long. Just add a 0 to the end of each one and you'll be good.
Might as well point out some other issues:

• The closed chest object has both the "Interactable" and "Run event on contact" flags on, when only the "Interactable" flag should be on,
• The open chest object has the "Interactable" flag off when it should be on,
• And there are no line breaks in the dialouge (hint: when the text turns red, it means that it goes over the character limit of 35 characters and that you need a newline, except when it happens exactly on the last 35th character, where you must not put a newline).

 

acknowledged. thanks for helping! it all works perfectly now.

 

Hi, how do i make a save point(script,not entity placement)?
Also, how would one script a boss battle?

 

Hi, how do i make a save point(script,not entity placement)?

You don't need to change your scripts to place a save point, simply place the save point entity, make it interactable and give it an event number of 16.

Also, how would one script a boss battle?

The way to script a boss battle depends on what boss you're trying to script.

 

It probably doesn't matter now, i accidentally just deleted MY ENTIRE MOD (along with backups) while trying to transfer my files to a usb. Im really ticked off now.

[edit]except for the files that i showed you in a previous post, because i kept those seperate.

 

I've been looking at the source code of multiple org reading programs, and it seems that the percussion samples they use come from OrgView. OrgView contains the BASS01 and other files, but Doukutsu only has WAVE100 in it. Where are the samples for the samples for the drums at? (Or is it somehow generated?)
Also where would the sounds be at (weapon sound, enemy squeal etc)? From what it seems they are in pxt from pixtone (not pxtone).

 

you need a program called SeaTone to extract those sounds from Cave Story. You can download it from the tribute site under music tools or something.
As for the drum samples, you can extract those as WAV from Org Maker V134 or 2xx. But they're pxt in the game itself.

 

Not sure how I missed that, thanks

 

How to make a mod for cave story PLUS ?

 

How to make a mod for cave story PLUS ?

Make a mod in the original Cave Story, then use Plus Porter to port it to Cave Story+. A Cave Story+ mod basically consists of a folder with all of the modified resources from said mod which then gets installed to the challenges menu. The readme for Plus Porter should explain this in greater detail.

 

I found the table with all of the keys. If I were to change weapon switch to scroll wheel, would I have to do something crazy to it or is there a "key" for it?
Edit: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/dd375731(v=vs.85).aspx I guess it's that -10 which is what the assembly compendium was talking about... Maybe I could somehow use the mouse hack and use one of those events?
Edit 2: Okay well only left and right click work, I even tried middle mouse and that didn't work either

Something to do with this command:

CALL NEAR DWORD PTR DS:[48C228]

CALL NEAR DWORD PTR DS:[48C228]

How does that help me and where is that at

 

Also assuming that I can even detect a scroll in the first place, how would I know what direction? I don't know if this is even right but https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms645617(VS.85).aspx says something about a word being positive or negative determining direction or something.

Edit the MyChar.bmp (or pbm or whatever file extension you're using) file in the data directory.

 

Does anybody know how to change the Cave Story version number for a mod?

 

Changing the version number in doukutsu.exe's properties should suffice, iirc
