Don't be a douche.
This isn't an addition to the list, it's aimed at you, and other people who complain about "bad mods". I am somewhat offended that you thought mine was bad because of that reason, but having a thread to contribute to a "hate list", essentially, is not a good thing. This could just as easily been a constructive thread, but being complain-ative and whiny solves no problems.
Besides, no new mods have been started, or continued, for that matter.
And to circumvent "hypocrite" statements, yes I have complained about "bad mods" myself before, but I would not do that now.
Suck it up, and be proactive, or don't do anything. Good day.

I don't think that was his intention. If I was making a mod I would like to know what to avoid. Maybe this discussion can be changed to "the big list of 'what can improve your mod'" if it would help the situation.

You people are a flame war waiting to happen these days, and I am sick of playing peacemaker.

Because people totally can't hack weapons yet since a weapon hacking FAQ has been released.

Its their choice. Let them do it. If they give you a hard boss on the first time, its obviously supposed to be aimed at being a challenging mod.

Some people DO have difficulty spriting different head angles.

You can't make a list for "general" use, since its all based on your opinion! D:
You may dislike those things other like it, so no topics like that.

Like I said before, its all based on opinion, you can't make such a list :/

I agree 100%. :D

Isn't it their choice how they build their mod? What kind of bosses they use? Just because you don't like having a weapon like the snake at start, you think it ruins the whole mod? Well, I don't, those things are just odds and ends.

You may forget that there are other things than weapons and bosses. Things like level-design, story, ideas, spriting (Not only just 1 main character sprite!), dialogues, music and so on... >_>

Alltough I don't like how he express hisself sometimes, I agree a bit to Nator.

Then just don't, let them flame each other, if they really like the forums and Cave Story, they wouldn't leave just because of one person or one fight. :D

We're here to discuss - that's right. But sometimes a dispute or even a flame war is needed, to "clarify" things. Sure, sometimes you're angry, sometimes you think that other people are talking crap, sometimes you want to fight, sometimes you feel that you need to defend yourself with words. Not every time though. Just stop talking about "stopping it", it's accomplishing nothing. Sorry. :/

If someone uses swearing though, I will edit the posts :o

And it's not only recently there were much flamewars in the past. It's really nothing special. Just let them flame each other, you stop them when the time comes ;)

Oh, and to be ontopic, this might ruin your mod.

An eye blinding color, like, bright green on a bright yellow background. An unreadable font. Edited the controls to buttons very very far apart on the keyboard, and then the player has to go redo all the controls. Oh yeah, and jokes which only the creator and his friends will understand will make the mod hard to understand as well.

Solution: weaken the power of said weapons.

having the first boss an eddited version of the sisters *Cough*natorandsoftmints*Cough* ahem...

Nator's Sister's boss wasn't a required battle, it was more of a skipable 'for fun' thing. Softmints' was just mean, however.

having a characters face not looking up when you press the up arrow
same thing with aiming downward while in the air

There are two solutions causes.

- As said before, people have trouble tilting the character's head.

- Some people are prevoked to release their mod asap, and simply lose track of having to add a few sprites. Whoopty doo, this shouldn't affect the mod.

add to the list plz

Only because you said a crude abbreviation of 'please'.

- Life-ups giving more that +5ML
- Impossible-to-win battles without a "Head.tsc" script mod changing the outcome from 'You have died' to some form of wake-up.
(Simply set a switch before the battle, setting the flag-jump to after the <PRI, but before any text in the death-script. The split will have to be included in the head.tsc, so event #0050 is a good place to base it. A Problem with this however, is '<SMC' won't work, so you'll need to set a skipflag and <INI. >> <<)

- Any use of the Spur or Nemisis during the story - these can be secret weapons, but don't make getting them easy, unless you'd lose them later on.

It hasn't gotten out of hand, and everyone is taking this seriously. As long as it stays that way there will be no problem.

No one said anything about starting the game/mod with the most powerful weapon. o.o

He said getting the weapon as part of the storyline.
