AGTP-CS+

Hi! I've just released a basic mod for the new Cave Story+ 2026 update that replaces the Nicalis translation with the contents of the fan-favorite Aeon Genesis Translation Patch. Nothing more, nothing less.

The mod is just about fully compatible with any other CS+ mod I can think of. It only replaces TSC files, a couple of stage table metadata files, and two images from the classic graphics set. It works with base CS+, classic graphics mode, all the seasons, and all the soundtracks.

It's available on GitHub, so if you find any issues that I somehow missed in my testing, feel free to submit your own patches.

Enjoy!

 

I take full credit for inspiring Aar to make this mod.

Really appreciate this! I have zero experience with modding or anything, so I don't think I can do much myself, but I think perhaps it could be worthwhile to port some of the translation improvements from the AGTP+ modpack for the 2011 CS+ release over to this mod as well (as an option, if we want to preserve the untouched AGTP script too). I also commented about this in an issue on the github, with a link to that modpack's website.

Though, I am also not super familiar with what is and isn't common practice in terms of using other people's translation work in the gaming scene. I come from the anime fansubbing scene where iterating on other people's work is not only accepted but even expected, and most things are effectively public domain.
