I'm looking for the data formats that are used in and out of Cave Story. I've reviewed as many past posts I can find, getting the structure of npc.tbl down, and the .pxm format for maps was fairly easy to figure out on my own. Many thanks to Osmose for getting the .org format cracked.
In particular, I'm looking for pixtone formats for the sounds used in the games, the math(?) used in making the instruments for the music and sound, and the .pxe/.pxa formats that seem to be map-related.
Also, does anyone know if the maps choose their tileset somehow, or is that hardcoded into the game itself?
Thanks in advance.
Edit: Just got the .pxa format, which is also remarkably simple. I'll post my findings once I'm finished with these...
