Weapon with MUCH Damage

Heya Guys! I play the game now since 2 weeks! And i finished it.. but now i wanna play it with hacks^^..
Cuz its the story i want but not the lame bossfights -.- so i downloaded some tools, read some tutorials, but iam german and my englisch really sucks, - so i understand nothing how to do ..

Nao my question: Is it possible to build a weapon wich does 500 dmg ? XD.. a weapon like the Sword maybe? on EVERY lvl much dmg?.

 

Your English doth bug me

^But I'll let it pass

So, to answer your question: Yes, it's possible to do that.
Well, technically you can't do 500 damage per hit. The max would be 127, the engine just wouldn't handle anymore without you going in and redoing it all.
But you could be lazy and change the number of hits to match that.
100 damage, 5 hits = 500 damage.
You can do all of this simply with Cave Editor. Just go to Data > Bullet Data and set the appropriate weapon. {Sword, in your case. You'd also have to do it once for each level. Of course, with some Assembly know-how, you could just eliminate all but one level. But this would be the lazy and easier way ;}
Also, don't forget the Search Button function, and direct any further questions to this thread.

Also, welcome to the forums.

Yep. (well, kinda, see what Lowell has to say.)

You need a HEX editor, though. And a lot of patience. (Or Cave Editor, although, I had no idea you could do that... hmmm, this CE sounds better and better the more I hear about it.)

Check out some of the mods already here, in particular, this one.

Sorry, I've yet to try my hand at HEX editing, so I can't really give you specifics, but I can direct you to a page that'll help you.

Here's one for Hex editing: http://www.cavestory.org/forums/threads/673/

Another one for general hacking: http://www.cavestory.org/forums/threads/1391/

And a decent weapon hacking thread:http://www.cavestory.org/forums/threads/1725/

And a more in-depth hex editing thread: http://www.cavestory.org/forums/threads/218/

 

Well, this particular thing can be done without a hex editor, like Lowell said, using CaveEdit.

Und dein Englisch ist nicht zu schlecht; besser als mein Deutsch denke ich.

 

Thanks for the fast answer.. i understand it Now i downloaded Cave ... thingie.. and opened it! i see the 4 Weapons i own in my inventory - i picked the sword! 2 options change weapon and change stats? Whats to do nao

 

Fast? It's because we're bored >.>;

Hmm? You should only need to worry about changing the bullets themselves {Bullet Data}, not the weapon.
You're simply upping the damage the bullets do. If you were going for something fancy, like the weapons in some hacks, you'd have to go in and Assembly hack the actual EXE.
With Cave Editor, you're just messing with the bullet data.
Pretty simple stuff, but it won't make anything fancy.

Also, don't be afraid to go messing around, yourself.
It's usually easiest to learn how to hack by actually doing it.
Of course, going back through the help threads is a plus
{And never neglect a backup}

 

The problem is i cant understand the most, i can write english, good, but understand is a problem .. and i dont find any german tutorials.

 

talk to s. p. gardebiter.
he's german and is pretty awesome at hexing/assembling.

for now though, download something like xvi32 (google it if you don't have it), hit ctrl+G, write 8F494 and hit enter. then, write FF.
repeat the process for addresses 8F4C0 and 8F4EC as well. (of course, this is if you don't want to give in to cave editor propaganda)

aslo, is it bad that I could understand this:

Und dein Englisch ist nicht zu schlecht; besser als mein Deutsch denke ich.

without ever have been taught German?

I think that's a save editor you got there .

Here, I'll give you a step-by-step process:

1. Download Cave Editor: http://www.dananddavid.com/CE/CaveEditor0.98d.zip

2. Run Cave Editor.

3. File -> Open -> Doukutsu.exe

4. Data-> Bullet Data

5. Go to "Weapon ID 9 (27)" (use the "<Prev" button and "Next>" button to navigate the weapon ID's).

6. Edit the "Damage: " and "# of hits: " to large values NOTE: Numbers cannot be greater than 127.

7. Repeat steps 6 and 7 for "Weapon ID 9 (28)" and "Weapon ID 9 (29)"

8. File -> Save

9. Run Cave Story.

 

You know...

Gen is a million times easier to understand than whatever it is you are talking about.

Psh, if you followed the directions it would make PERFECT SENSE. (Weapon ID 9 (27) and such are actual headers/titles seen in CaveEditor).

How is it difficult to understand? Try following the directions step by step and if you still don't get it then post again.

He probably just didn't know you meant the words and numbers at the top of the window.
Not all of these guys are as experienced in editors as the rest of us

I got it, thanks very much ;D!

Haha and nao testing WTF-Story xD

Lol I'm glad you made use of my advice.

And thanks for testing/playing WTF-story. Good luck, though. It is not an easy mod (currently that is).

 

Previous experience

Ah, but you've had previous experience with other editors and such, haven't you? {Sue's for sure}
You kinda knew what to expect. Some of these guys can be pretty green.
