HaydenStudios

I met you in 2012 or 2013

Oh really? Was it under a different username that you talked with me? And was it on these forums, or on some other site?

"Met" how?

Hey Thomas! Thanks for checking in, and I'm doing very well! I haven't really dedicated much time to Cave Story lately, but I still check these forums daily and post when I have something to say!

You're welcome! I'm so glad you're doing very well! And nor have I, I participate in the Discord server and that's really about it though! But nice to see you're around occasionally! I'll have to hit you up more, it's truly been too long, I meant to do this for awhile but life gets in the way haha.

Hey, thanks! I'm glad you've enjoyed my mod so much! Unfortunately, I can't replicate your issue because I'm running one of the older HIB versions where Sanctuary Time Attack was even more broken. I'm not sure exactly what's going on, so I'm not sure what to tell you. I guess the best solution would be to have two separate installations of CS+: one that you don't mess with, and another that you install mods in.

Cool, i'll do that. I don't believe that i know the steps to creating another separate installation besides just a normal installation from steam. I actually figured out that you can toggle which challenge modes you want on the mini challenge screen from plus-porter( apparently adding an extra mode, like 4th ending, would total the amount of 6 instead of 5, so the game i think would bug because of too many modes on the mini challenge mode screen). You might have heard about this glitch but i accendantly came across the glitch where you can play the challenge modes as Curly instead of quote.:) Thanks for the fast reply. I appraciate you giving your time to help us with bugs and all while juggling with college and work. Thanks again!!

I've had issues with links being blocked due to excessive traffic with both Dropbox and Mediafire. What else could I try?

I personally use mega.nz. I don't like Mediafire either, and how it tries to install extra stuff and all of the pop-ups and everything. In my opinion, however, dropbox is much worse. I don't like their shady business tactics, there mere 2 gigs of free storage, overpriced subscriptions, and it seems like they have a new security issue or credential leak every month. There are much more issues than these, some of which others have commented.

Also, the thing about the false copyright infringement strike thing, that will happen with ANY cloud provider. They literally have bots that scour the internet and look for links like this, so if you link gets popular, expect it to be taken down. It's annoying as hell.

Hello! Sorry for not getting around to it sooner, I have now updated the download link. Thanks for showing interest in my mod.

yeah...happy birthday!

Happy birthday, Hayden!

Oh hey thanks guys! Wow, I've really not been paying as much attention here as I used to, I only just now checked this site for the first time today.

Ah, okay, thanks. I'll make sure to keep that in mind.

Indeed, as long as you're not responding to some specific post someone made over 6 months ago, and the post is relevant to the original topic, then a bump is perfectly acceptable.

Again, thanks. I'll let you know if there's something about it that i notice, like story, character, etc., just to give my thoughts.

Um, thanks?

Hey, sorry for the delay in responding.

Ah yes, Curly's Past. In order to make your mod compatible, you really need to make sure the mod doesn't go over the map limit, or else there will be issues with transporting to maps greater than map #094. I'm guessing the game crashes because you're trying to transport to a map higher than that. To remove unnecessary maps, use the map deleting function in Booster's Lab, and all the map numbers and <TRA commands will automatically be adjusted for you.

As for winding up in the wrong room at the beginning, CS+ automatically starts you in map 013 with event 0200 like in the original game. Plus Porter should automatically fix this for you if you're using the auto-port feature, but maybe it doesn't do this if there's some sort of error with the maps. In any case, to manually fix this, you'll need to edit event 0200 in map 013's script so that it will transport you to the desired room with the desired event the first time that a new game is started. And if event 0200 from map 013 is already in use by the mod, you'll need to add a flag jump to make sure the proper event occurs every subsequent time that event is executed.

Hope this helps.

Thanks! Will try that!

Quick update:
Got a little confused - after I delete even one unused CS map, CP (not the port - from original .exe) refuses to open the mod from it's start and opens random map for some reason. Gotta look through those scripts, I guess.....

Oh dear! Thank you so much for bringing this to my attention. I could have sworn that I already dealt with this already, but it looks like that wasn't the case. I'll try and get this resolved.

Ah, no problem. I hope to see the download back up and working soon!

this is a ruse

Sure, go right ahead! And please let me know when you finish and publish the mod, I'd love to see it!

Here you go, Hayden. I have published the mod.

The fan theories will always live on in our iron-bound hearts.

Of course I'm still alive! I may be busy with college, but I still check these forums daily and post when I have something to add. I'm even working on a Cave Story-related project that I intend on showing off to you guys when it's ready.

Nice to hear!

I think Thanksgiving is on the fourth Thursday in November for the US and the second Monday in October for Canada?

Yep, Thanksgiving, the 4th Thursday of November in the US, this year falling upon the 26th.

@Miccs
Don't feel bad. I celebrate a lot of holidays every year that I forget the date of about a week or two later. The only dates I can remember are 4th of July (well, that's easy), Christmas, my birthday, Valentine's Day, Halloween, New Year's day (also easy), the eves (super easy), and I think that's it. Real sad :P

Uhh.. Not to be rude or anything, but that are alot of ^^'s.

Thanks! I'm glad that you liked my mod, and that you got it working!

I managed to play all the way through. I loved it. It was well put together from what I can tell not errors or issues. I might have to see some of your other mods.^^

I saw it. I did that which is the odd part. I see it in the Cave Story+ Title Screen but when I play it and get to the Hermit Gunsmith cave area to get the Polar Star it takes me to the Island falling ending screen where Kezuma catches Quote and Sue. Then when I go back to my save files they are gone. Even my Curly Brace Story save. I am not sure what happened. I did what you said before and I am not sure what I did wrong?

That is very strange. Are you saying that you start a new game, play it like normal, and get to the room where the Hermit gunsmith is, and this happens, or are you saying that you try to load a save file from a different mod? Just so you know, most ports you'll install will have to share save slot sets with Curly Story.

My brother figured it out. I was opening the mod folder not the Fourth Ending Folder. But the folder inside of it called mod. I am sorry for bothering you.^^; I am not good with mods or coding.^^; It works now.^^

Me too, happy belated Hayden!
