Okay, so here's the follow-up that I promised. I visited with my parents for Christmas and New Years, and while I was at their house, I fired up the old Windows 98 computer. I said in my previous post that it had a Pentium III processor, but I was mistaken, it was actually a Pentium II. And 96...

Whoops, forgot to reply to this. I guess I was waiting for someone else to reply so that I wouldn't double-post, but since it's been over a month now, a double-post won't hurt. You know, I never took much issue with the backstory reveals for Quote and Curly, but now that you lay it all out...

Oh hey, I remember you. Nice to see you still kicking. I'm not interested in getting involved at this time, but I like your initiative and passion. I have higher hopes for your success this time around, as it seems your process for initiating a project and having a clear vision has been refined...

Well not exactly. You'd want to look in the Balfrog AI code and see if you can find it calling that damage function, and change the amount of damage being done (AKA the number that gets pushed onto the stack before it calls the function) to 1. Some amount of knowledge of how to use Ollydbg will...

I can't tell you specifically what you'd change, but I might be able to give you some pointers. 0x0079030 is the offset for the Balfrog AI. And the function for doing damage to the player is this, taken from the assembly compendium (except for correcting Noxid's spelling): push damage call...

Hey BLink, I'm bumping this thread because I just noticed something. The link next to the assembly compendium instead contains a link to the Ollydbg skins. Might want to fix that.

Hey, this is really cool. I just watched one of the videos of the engine, and those visual effects look amazing. Both the lighting from the items and in the shack, as well as the blurry effect from the water were really cool. It's really interesting what dynamic you have with 2 players there, it...

It's understandable that this would be discontinued, projects like this generally don't have much reward other than just to show that it can be done. This was a cool little project to see a demo for though, and projects like this often serve as good springboards into bigger and better things, so...

That's oddly specific. I'm sure you can make some simple change to do that, but I'm not aware of any pre-made hack that someone has put together that specifically makes Balfrog vulnerable while his mouth is closed.

Not sure if there's really any comprehensive documentation on this, so I guess I'll just write up a summary with some of the main points for how CS+ mods work. In CS+, mods are stored as options available on the challenge menu. Each mod is stored in a folder within the "data" folder of your CS+...

What a nice gift to give the community on Christmas day, this is really cool. Admittedly, if I were still modding, I would probably still use the built-in editors in Booster's Lab and CE, but I can see how some people could find this to be useful. Thanks for your hard work!

Now that you bring this up, I think I have some faint memory of encountering a glitch like this when I was playing around with CS+ sprites some years ago. Glad Serri's solution works for you, I do seem to recall it having to do with the bit depth of the image file and the game not liking that.

Oh wow, nice. This is something a lot of us have been interested in seeing, but it was sort of discouraged for a while when CS Wiiware first came out. Admittedly, some parts of it look a lot like the NICALiS graphics, but in some places that's pretty hard to avoid. I like your different take on...

Cave Story is now a year older than I was when I joined this community. I'm not sure what to think of this.

Oh hey, this thread from several months ago. Cool, I've set a reminder on my phone to give that post a read this weekend and maybe respond to it. Just thought I'd go ahead and make a post now, since I know that it takes some work to write large walls of text like that, and it's nice to get an...

I always assumed that was Ballos' voice, and that it was sort of a echoing spirit after he died. Maybe it was something he said in his life, in his greatest moments of pain that fueled his hate. I always had a theory in my head that that's what Ballos was saying when the king's subjects were...

There's a difference between a bug and a bad design choice. Just because something is designed in a way that's annoying or counter-intuitive doesn't mean that it's incomplete or not what the creator intended.

Yeah, sorry to have to break it to you, but that's not a bug, that's a feature. And it's been like that since the original Cave Story. Colliding with the smaller falling blocks from any angle will damage you, although you can actually pass freely through the top half of the bigger blocks, as Eli...

I can confirm that they've updated their logo in the title screen in this version. Not sure yet about the copyright date(s) in the credits. I do wish that they would have gone ahead and fixed that screen cut-off problem in this version, it's a bother to set the EXE to run in 640X480. Oh well...

Haha, I remember visiting that site a few times several years ago, although I don't remember ever seeing the line "beat the crap out of some crusty old doctor." I didn't immediately have the right tools handy to unpack that "music" file in the folder you posted, although if I'm not mistaken...

I guess I'll lead off from August 2015, since that was when I made the last release of Plus Porter, and that was the last major contribution I made to the Cave Story community. Two days after I made that last release of Plus Porter, I went off to college, and stayed pretty busy for a solid 4...

Challenge accepted. I'm going to be visiting my parents soon for Christmas, and they have a Windows 98 Computer with a Pentium III processor that still works, so I can try it on that. I actually ran the original Cave Story on it back in 2013, and it runs at 50 FPS. I don't believe I ever tried...

It makes me very sad to see this happen. I never did anything with CSE2 and never planned on it since I moved on from Cave Story modding years ago, but I loved seeing innovation in the modding community even 15+ years after the game was originally released. Modding has long been one of the only...
