how to make a character selection ?

I think you're going to need to elaborate on that statement a little bit in order for us to understand what you're asking.

 

please tell me
how to make a character selection ?

I assume you want to use somethng that lets the player look different (like in switching characters).
Using <EQ+0064 and <EQ-0064, you can switch between the mimiga mask sprites and normal sprites in the mychar.bmp file.
If you want more characters, you have to use the <MIM hack.

 

I saw this in one modification.
I can't find what

I... don't think that's possible to do in CS+, afaik.

 

it was a modification on the original Cave Story

 

But it's on a completely different .exe file. It's sorta the reason why you can only edit the stage.tbl, npc.tbl, and the TSC in CS+ with Booster's Lab. It is possible to change the .pxt sounds with the Plus Porter, iirc. And it is possible to change the WAVE100 data with a hex editor, but afaik, there's no existing hack on CS+, since the .exe format is entirely different than vanilla.

 

how do you edit the starting screen to say different things like you added the silver

i am using sues editor but i can probably change just everything else always gets everything all jumbled

i've tried cave editor but i dont know how to use that

Go into the game's data folder, and use an image editing software on the photo labeled "Title" Then, go crazy.

it keeps giving me a weird message that is like "AF%($J(FS" or something and then it closes out whenever i change anything

i used paint to change it into something random

sorry im kind of new to this and really bad at stuff

Sounds like you forgot to remove the (C)Pixel requirement.
I'm not sure if there's a way to remove it with the editor you're using (Sue's Workshop, which by the way is defunct and you shouldn't be aware it even exists), so I'm going to show you how to satisfy that requirement:
Open up the image file with a hex editor, go to the end of the file, and add (C)Pixel to the end.
If you don't know how to do it, I can do it for you.

You're gonna need to get a hex editor to do this.
Okay, so:
1. Edit the image file, and save it.
2. Open your hex editor.
3. In the hex editor, open up the image file.
4. Scroll down to the end of the file (where the weird numbers and letters stop).
5. After the end of the file, add "(C)Pixel" (without the quotation marks).
6. Save the file.
7. Run Cave Story. If you did this correctly, the game should work with no errors.

i tried doing it with the hex editor i said above but it still gave me the error
what i did was i edited the image on paint with different colors
then i opened it on the hex editor pasted the (C)Pixel on the end of it (at the end with the really really really weird letters)
then i tried to run it but same thing

That sounds like it should've worked...
Booster's Lab, another Cave Story editor, can entirely remove needing to have (C)Pixel at the end of the image files, and also has built-in support for mods edited with SW

Yeah, I forgot to mention Cave Editor has a way to remove that requirement aswell.
Also, it's spelled "voila".
