What was the assumed TSC limit again? I'm working on something with a lot of tsc behind it but I need to know how far I can go before stuff falls apart.

Put a <WAI between them then.

I vaguely remember hearing that the shootable and interactible flags for a npc conflict, is this true?

I'm trying to change the blue color that pops up between fade outs and fade ins. (I changed Fade.bmp to a dark black color and the split second of blue is jarring.) A user named Mint was trying to do the same thing back in 2015, and this was the response:

Here's the assembly line where you can edit the blue during the fade-out transition:

CPU Disasm
Address Hex dump Command Comments
0040DE77 |. 68 00002000 PUSH 200000 ; /Arg1 = UNICODE "gscht"


You can change the 200000 to any hex code for the palette you want (it's usually found on the colors window on Paint.net).

I got OllyDbg and found the line of code, but when I try to change '200000' to '020202' (this being the color I'm trying to use), it gets changed to '20202'. When I try to run the game afterwards, it's still blue. I don't know anything about ASM or OllyDbg, so my questions are: are '020202' and '20202' the same thing? And how do I know if OllyDbg is actually saving the changes I'm making?

Trying it on my end, and it seems to work for me (in windowed and full screen)!
Code:
CPU Disasm
Address   Hex dump          Command                                      Comments
0040DE77      68 02020200   PUSH 20202
Just make sure the bitmap for Fade.bmp share the same hex as the "black screen" in-between. Also, when you save it, you do right click > edit > copy to executable > right click > save file, right?

I don't know what I was doing to try to save my changes, but it was definitely not that. Now that I've actually saved it it works as intended. Thanks.

Maybe this is not the correct place to post this question, but I didn’t want to make a new thread:

Why did people start modding/porting Cave Story? If it was open source like DooM, then I guess I’d see why, but I can’t imagine why someone circa 2004 (or whenever CS modding begun) thought to themselves “hey, I wanna disassemble Cave Story and see if I can make new levels”.

I feel you really should've just checked the op first, this is really just a howto thread on making mods
Got some modding difficulties, and you're not sure what to do about them? Search function isn't helping?
Ask here!
Sometimes it's easier to make the new thread instead

Fair enough! Guess I’ll make a new thread. Thank you for telling me!

I`m totally new to modding in general, and I have no clue how to even install a mod. I have a "data" folder that I got from a randomizer mod, and a "Profile.dat" which I can`t open. How do I smack those two together in order to make the mod work?

Open up the data folder created by the randomizer and copy/paste the Stage folder in the data folder for the game, it should ask you to merge the folders together, just select yes and you'll be good. Profile.dat is your save file, btw

<ML+000+ should do the trick. Mayhaps we should include the ASCII Negative Values in the new modding guide as well...

In Booster's Lab go to help and then go to the negative arguments page in the TSC folder, you'll find everything you need there.

How do I change the speed at which sand zone beetles fly at? Is it a value I need to adjust in the ASM?

How would I get the maps to be visible, I'm adding new maps but the screen just stays that purplish blue color and doesn't show anything. (I haven't modded CS in quite awhile so I forgot.)

Booster's Lab and Cave Editor both have descriptions for the commands in their script editors. Use <FAI btw.
