I completely disagree. I see no need to for a mod to be at least decent before it gets posted. And who cares how the mod starts? If the creator begins with a buggy, unoriginal, bad mod, without knowing how flags work, which then goes on to become an awesome mod, no one is going to remember the first release except maybe in a sense of "Yeah, he has gotten so much better since then."

And I would be very surprised if someone didn't get started and immediately ask "Wait, how do I do this?" because no one knows how to do it without learning it from somewhere. Some people prefer to figure it out on their own, and some people would rather get instructions from somewhere. But seeing how unfriendly this board is to newbies, and how little documentation there is on the basics of editing (TSC.txt is useful more as a reference then a guide) that leaves just figuring stuff out. Which is time consuming, difficult, and requires quite a bit of intelligence. Its no surprise that people make some mistakes their first time around.

Ok, now shut up. That's the stupidest bullshit I've ever heard spewed from the mouth of an ape.

There's a forum for that, dumb-ass CUNT, it's called the hacking subforum!
LEARN THINGS, MOTHERFUCKER!

Well dumb-ass motherfuckers like YOU aren't supposed to make games.

You need to be banned. God, you are such an idiot.

I've reigned as the God-King of melodramatic drivel on this backwater forum for so very long and yet a thread like this has only one mention of me throughout its entirety? Hmph.

I might not have posted anything up to our Golden-Age standard in awhile, guys, but that just goes to show how retarded you all are; though, to be fair, I might as well also state that water is wet considering the general content of this thread.

Jeez, people, I at least tried to insert giggles into my bullshit. I'd think that after all this time you guys would start taking pages from my book. But no, instead of certain members gaining followers and being elevated up to God tier alongside me, all I've read so far is DRAMA DRAMA DRAMA. It's so lonely up here.

Thanks for the fail, brahs. I'mma go masturbate to yandere.

I know you want it to happen. You and DT very obviously long for times past when I'd tear your pillowbiter asses asunder on a whim.

When Roonil, Jcys, and Shi joined in... ah, those were the best of times indeed. So nostalgic.

Hey, come on Kage, Where did that even come from?
I was just saying, one of 2 things is about to happen:
1. Everyone starts kissing your ass, or
2. Everyone starts arguing about why you're wrong. Which would fail.

There's also a third option which I follow.

Yeah. Third option. Basically the "weak-willed pussy" option that involves staying entirely out of the conflict while dropping completely neutral posts every once in awhile pretending you're cool because you don't seem to care by posting while contributing absolutely nothing of value whatsoever, indicating solely the message that you allegedly don't care, which doesn't quite work out because it's obvious how hard you're trying to look cool by putting on a facade of indifference.

Yep. MS' signature third option.

I agree, Toradora fails.

I've got to agree, a lot, with the lack of documentation; and, no, the search button isn't all that great....
Fortunately, for me, I've had previous experience with modding, so I was able to pick my way through the basics....but there's still a lot I haven't figured out yet, so I'm forced to learn as I go. {Luckily, I'm a fast learner, and I've figured out a bunch of workarounds for several problems...}
But the forums could use some more Newb-friendly stuff....

[COLOR="Dreaded Red"]The DragonBoots consolidated basic modding, scripting and graphics guide should provide that.

And where would this be...?
...And might it include a full list of animations for all the sprites...? That's one of my most time-consuming problems....
*Resumes work, as well*

EDIT: Hahah...Searching for that only lead me back here...heh.... {Point proven}

Oh wow.
>_>
I'm pretty sure I mentioned this before.

But, uh.
Basically, it's a package.
With:
Sue's Workshop
HexWorkshop v5 (trial version)
Original Cave Story
Blank Copy of CS
Copy of CS with Sample Scripts and Maps
HTML guide to Scripting, Map Design, Do's and Do-not's etc.
How-To's for the above programs
NPC notes (maybe animations, but mostly common uses for them)
Wedge of Cheese's NPCTBL editor

And, uh, yeah.
It's in progress.

Ah screw it.
I'm going back to red.
If you have a serious problem with that, take it up with me personally, alright?
