Hey, I was using Plus Porter and saw the Auto-Port option. What does that do? Also, is there any way to port Rave Story to CS+?

The auto-port feature has you load up a copy of the original Cave Story, as well as a copy of the mod you wish to port, and it scans for all of the discrepancies between the original Cave Story and said mod. It looks for added or edited scripts, maps, tilesets, and I think spritesheets as well. I believe that it also scans for certain differences in the respective EXE files too, and it takes all of those differences, and forms a Plus Porter project based on all of those detected differences. I think there are some edge cases that my auto-port wizard doesn't quite catch, but in simple cases, it should do most of the porting for you.

As for Rave Story in particular, I think I only briefly loaded it up once. That has some custom levels, sprites, and maybe some new music too, right? As long as it doesn't have ASM hacks, you should be able to port it for the most part, but only the ORG music will work. Getting extra music to work for the "New" and "Remastered" soundtracks isn't as straightforward for CS+ mods as ORG music.

By the way, questions like this are perfectly appropriate for posting in my Plus Porter thread. The only rule against bumping threads is if you're responding to some specific post or point in the discussion that was made a long time ago or just blatantly bumping a thread without due acknowledgement. Bumps are fine as long as they give due acknowledgement to it being a bump and are on-topic to the opening post in the thread.

Cool, thanks for the help!
I noticed some people tend to be open about their projects or feelings on the forums (I won't be for the second last)
So little fact, I got a blog where I documented Curly's Weird Crusade development, feel free to check it out and comment, your input is neat to have :D
I made a new blog post today regarding new content in the future, if you're curious about chapter 3, everything's here!
I kept clicking the discord link instead of the forums link for like 10 minutes and kept laughing at myself nearly nonstop

Sweet, looks like you're really putting a lot of work into this.
Can't wait for KH4, though all I'd be able to do is read about it.

That aside, I decided the Entrance of the Xenoa: Lunar Shadow version should use a different tileset, so I'm currently trying to think something up that'll be fitting for it. Maybe a tileset from a past mod I worked on, I dunno.

fun fact: I have said this many times before, but did you know that when anglerfish mate, the male slowly melts and becomes parasitic with the female as the host? As if the concept of the animal itself wasn't weird enough.
i love reading old warning and ban threads because you get to see what moronic shit happened circa 10 years ago

i loved to necro before the old content warning was added
just went through and archived all of my ORGs from 2015-2022 (and I plan to keep this up whenever i finish any new orgs)
most are inside the Old folder but keep in mind most of those are from when i was like 10 and aren't very good
free to use any of them but please credit : )
All my life, I've attempted to try playing through "Pokemon FireRed", and never really got far. If I did get far, I would be using fast forward, and eventually even cheat. As a kid, this is what I did at least, and no wonder I didn't find the game very fun.

Now, I'm actually trying to play through the game. I'm playing it on a DSi via GbaRunner2, meaning that it's running on real hardware, and with 0 fast forward or cheating. It feels really good too, I'm actually having lots of fun playing through the game!!

Also I can transfer my save file to my phone and use an emulator there to trade pokemon between firered and leafgreen -- whether that be a second instance of leafgreen on my own phone, or trading with a friend that just so happens to also own the game on their phone (We've traded some pokemon, they're playing through leafgreen)

Rant over, just having lots of fun playing this :)

Is GBARunner2 actually good enough to use yet? I haven't ever really bothered with it

Evil update: I just finished HOME. Great game. As close as a successor to OFF a fangame could get story-wise. The combat system, though still not perfect, is leagues better than whatever OFF had to show. The game started off a bit wonky but it manages to keep on giving all the way through to the end, and it even has a nice true ending.

That being said, getting to it was a pain as I spent 3-4 hours trying to figure out what I did wrong only to realize that I answered a question incorrectly some ways back. Good thing I kept a save file for it, otherwise I don't think I could've sat through another 5 hours retracing my steps and recollecting everything-

As a whole, I liked it as much as I did OFF.

the screaming burnt constantly spammed hat trick, which took about 1/3 of my entire party's max hp. it had incredibly high agility. not fun.
the screaming burnt after the balloon game is actually a different burnt than the other screaming burnts, same applies to the military burnt. Sanchiata's first fight was definitely the reason why zone 4 was so hard though, talk about an overwhelming fight

oh, and if you're playing NEW for the love of god play on silent, zone 3 is really fun on mediocre but once zone 3 is over it's nothing but pain until the final boss (speaking of which, the final boss is actually really fun!)

Oh, I almost forgot about Shachihata's first fight. I'm not sure if I struggled more with him or the initial military burnt, but yeah, had a hard time with them both. With the screaming burnt, I think I remember having struggles with them too. Wish I was able to record the game to see how I managed : /

Also, thanks for the advice... but too bad I already started a save file on deadly and... oh man...

then start a new save file on silent, you can only get to level 32 in one of the areas and it is definitely not enough to beat the boss there
i only recommend playing deadly on NG+ because you get a headstart
i feel like the fact that you can see the most recent profile posts on the front page could potentially be used for evil
