• Hey everyone happy Christmas Eve we're aware of what's happened with the source code so to keep this simple absolutely don't post it on the site or use it to make mods with (it's not particularly preferable toward this end anyway) and tread lightly in general until we see how this settles, thanks to all and have a great holiday season -DT

Better to just add the (c)Pixel to the end of the bmp and rename to .pbm

Somehow 'extensive research' does not entail using the search button for most people.
I've found that the search button often does not work very well. :/

Generally, it makes the game unplayable and deletes all game data. You can't recover what was lost unless you made a backup. Isn't it great that everyone's been listening to SP?
That didn't happen to me. :/

Hey, stop bumping topics, srsly.

Especially if you're going to quote posts from ages ago.

Well, since this was bumped I may as well add something here...

To be honest, this time it's not really a character, but rather a tileset... One that's been featured in my signature pic, even. It's currently incomplete, but I've been trying to make it compatible with some of the "active" features of maps like the falling spikes in Egg Corridor? or the shutters in the Core room-

Umm... Sorry, I don't get this. You make and use your own character in CaveStory?

...Yes? All it involves is editing the sprites in the MyChar.pbm file. And before you ask, it's very well-documented in the Rom Editing/Hacking forum, you can run a search there.

So.... that bloody game where death occurs every ten seconds took it from this game you mentioned as well?





What's wrong with using your own chars playin' your fav' game? Better than playing TF using Doraemons rite?

Not quite. Though you could if you wanted to.

Once again, I dig up a thread for the very purpose it was created for...

I don't have an update for my Umihara Kawase spritesheet I posted over half a year ago, but I do have another new character who may or may not be appearing in a future CS mod-
CSUltimaExodusNESIllusionist400x400.png

This is (Supposed to be) the Illusionist from the NES port of Ultima III (Exodus). Last night, I felt compelled to draw a spritesheet of her, I'm not sure why, though...
She wouldn't fit into The Forgotten Game; Revival's storyline, & The 8 Superior Cave Story Mod might not be able to have every pre-planned NPC if I add her in. It's way too early to say for sure right now, however.
2nd EDIT: Check the edit reason.

My custom character

[I have one. Just to play as a mimiga, really. I copied and edited various sprites from NpcGuest.pbm and made a mimiga characer. The mask is just a different clothing color; I might change that later. Also, For Your Convenience, I have made a .BMP for the post and a .PBM to actually download and use.
EDIT:
Yeah, sorry about that, i don't have the steadiest grasp on the whole concept yet.

What you posted for a download link is not actually a link. Just because you can open a file on your computer in a web browser does not mean it is on the internet. Please, if you wish to share content, upload to a hosting site like mediafire or esnips or to the Cave Story FTP.

[Edit]: Incase you don't understand what I'm saying, this is what I am saying.

The links you posted do not work. Not for the pic or for the download. They reference to your computer's harddrive. If we were to click these, to try to download them, they would try to take us to our C: drive, and find the file MyChar.pbm, which would not exist. And if it did, it would not be the sprite sheet you "posted".

[Edit2]: Kk good job uploading, they look pretty good.

Little glitch with the custom sprites

I'm releasing this new sheet because most of the sprites' feet were a little off the ground in the first one, and in this one, the feet are touching the ground.

Oh by the way I would recommend HIGHLY against using megaupload for your files, since it's a terrible site for people to download from. I recommend switching over to mediafire or esnips instead.
