Haha, fun little mod. I like the sense of humor. The level ups don't seem significant at first, but then the really become crazy when you get enough of them. The mod doesn't have a lot of polish, but it seems that that's kind of on purpose to some extent. I particularly liked the boss fight with...

Huh, I only just realized that. I either totally wasn't paying attention to that, or knew it a long time ago and forgot. The same naming convention is used in both the AGTP translation and the NICALiS translation. Wonder why there's that discrepancy. Also hi Dunc, haven't seen you posting here...

You mean the default Last Cave that you step into if you don't have the Booster 2.0?

Did you try going to "Settings" -> "Song Preferences" and lowering the tempo there? That seems to work for me.

It technically isn't the player object that switches to a sprite of lying down, but instead, in these cutscenes, it knows roughly where the player will be, and so has an invisible entity ready in that position, and then when the time comes in the cutscene, it uses the "<HMC" (hide my character)...

Oh, that's really awesome, I didn't know you could do that. That's a handy tip if you're trying to do the most damage in the fewest number of frames.

My approach is usually to get the spur fully charged before approaching an enemy, release it, and then keep shooting out level 2 shots for the remainder of the battle. I don't actually have any analysis on whether or not this is the best strategy, or what really does the most "damage per...

I once had an idea for a mod that I never ended up making, and part of the plan was to include Wind Fortress. It was going to involve discovering a tunnel in Santa's house, which led to the Wind-Fortress like area. Since the first part is Grasstown-like, I thought some secret passage through...

Interesting, you launched your own blog and everything. Is Studio Gato a one-man show, or is it a studio with multiple people? That page you linked to seemed to be speaking in third person and saying "we". I like your initiative, it's been a while since I saw someone launch a development blog...

Cool, nice to meet you broche. I've been finding it harder to keep track of new users for some reason lately, so let's see if I can get better at this. Interesting that you held out for several years before joining, most people only take a few months (I myself lurked for 4-and-a-half months)...

Booster's Lab was originally developed when Java 7 was the current version, although I think Noxid may have made a couple of releases after Java 8 was first launched in March 2014 (the last Java release that officially supported Windows XP). I don't know whether or not Noxid ever made any...

Oh, I didn't realize there was a 2011 edition of this thread. I only remember the one in 2013: https://www.cavestory.org/forums/threads/akinator-a-scarily-accurate-guessing-game-site.4869/ Back then, Quote was pictured from the credit art image in-game in waterway, instead of that fan art. It...

Whoops, missed the part about this being with NXEngine. The instructions I gave in my post probably won't help, sorry.

I think this may be what you're looking for: https://www.cavestory.org/forums/threads/ikachan-font.14578/#post-367720 That post is a bit dated since it doesn't account for Windows 10 which is a bit more prevalent now, so here's the equivalent in Windows 10: Click in the search bar by the start...

Okay, let me know if this helps:

What part in particular doesn't make sense? Are you familiar with what framerects are? If this was confusing to you, I can make a picture that illustrates what fields in that Booster's Lab hack relate to what properties of the title screen.

Open up "Title.bmp" in the data folder. By default, the game extracts the title screen a framerect in that image with the top-left corner of (0, 0), and a bottom right of (144, 40). You'll probably want to edit "Title.bmp" to have your full image in the top left region of the image, and change...

That's done via assembly hacking. There's a specific assembly hack that does that called the Title Screen Hack. It's even built into Booster's Lab. If you go to "Actions" -> "Hacking Tool", then select "titlescreen," and then it will patch the EXE with this hack that lets you have a custom image...

Is that some super special secret you put in the mod, expecting almost no one would find it?

Oh hey, JonSpider. I remember you. Happy birthday, I always thought you were a really cool guy. I totally forgot that you shared birthdays with my mom.
