This forum is for any and all theories you have about Cave Story, no matter how insane or far-out they maybe.
What are you talking about? They're the same thing. The hacking forum and the mods forum both discuss the same things. The only difference is that the mods forum is for showing off hacks that are being made.Lace said:Hacking is NOT a subforum of modding!!!
Completely different thing!
Lace said:Not a good idea.
Even if Mods and Hacking are popular in their own right, they are still about cave story, and moving them around will just cause lesss people to look at them.
Lace said:Also, pretty much the entire main forum is about cave story theories, so there will be almost nothing to post there...

why?
why make a forum for what one thread was encompassing nicely?

Or something.
No, but that's because one is a verb and the other is a noun. Hacking is what you do to create a mod. Hacking does not necessarily mean changing assembly – it could mean changing any data file as well. So hacking and modding are the same thing, and a hack is the same thing as a mod.Lace said:Hacking and mods are NOT the same thing.
There are only TWO mods which are hacks, modding does not necessarily mean changing assembly.
The "Rom Editing/Hacking" subforum is used for any help with creating a mod. The "Cave Story Mods" forum is where you present your mod. I doubt you are complaining about the poor and ill-suited names both subforums have had for years. So what the heck is the point behind your argument?Lace said:Yes, hacking means screwing with the machine code.
modding is all that wimpy stuff with maps and sprites.
Any Idiot can mod, not everyone can hack.
