Cave Story BEYOND

[NoraHamuChan]

I'm going to make a BYOND game of Cave Story, continuing from where
the original Cave Story left off. And Abu shall help me =). Maybe Sauce too.
Sorry if I'm sort of copying Shining's Cave Story "2" Mod, I was just thinking
of making a small Cave Story game at first and if we get into it well enough,
it will turn into 'Cave Story BEYOND' <3.

I shall update as to where it's going and if I give up on it =/) hopefully not.

although you all do know how bad I am at BYOND coding. : ) (no you don't,
but trust me, I'm nothing compared to Abu and Sauce ;3.)

If you want spoilers, I'll give em in red so as not to spoil it for people who
don't want to know it. (and even so, I'm not spoiling the whole game anyway)

It will use the original sprites of the game, and some new. (a new weapon
too, if all goes well.) Screenshots later when I start the mapping process.

I wouldn't mind helping, as Shining hasn't really been saying anything to me about Cave Story the Crowned Witch(Check his site by clicking his Name when he posts and click visit Shinings Homepage) I could help with making maps as I can do them pretty fast and they look good.

You can also select me for level making.


But this will be a SIDE project because i have more things than that too... :/

[NoraHamuChan]

yeah well, I'm a pretty long way from making the maps, it'd be nice if I had other
coders lol. I'm gonna have to find codes to help me put in the weapon and health
system before I start making maps. not to mention make icons of the games tile and
background sets. I think the game is going to go kinda slow though, so I don't think
it's gonna be a very good game.. the code I used when I tried the game I jump too
far. I was thinking of a code like in that one super mario byond game. That was a very
good platforming code, you jumped, then you moved forward however much you
wanted to.. it was perfect for a game like this.... I'll have to see about finding it, or
have Abu try and use a code he used in a platformer. (he says he made a sonic game
for byond a while back?)

but after all that's done, I shall get started working on the maps and the story =).

Edit: I found the code. Now it's a lot better, so you won't keep dying if you
play it <3. Not like you can die. I haven't made any monsters yet. However,
that doesn't mean I haven't finished the health bar . I finished it at 9:00
or so and so now all we need is to add enemies that kill down your hp, and
weapons to kill them with. (and make it randomly choose whether the monster
drops an experience triangle or a healing heart =). yay <3)

I'll put in a screen of how it's doing (the map isn't how it's gonna be in the
final version though) sometime tomorrow. It may be blocky in byond, but it's
easier for me to figure it out than it is for me to figure out Sue's Workshop or
Miza. (how CONFUSING lol) So huzzah =D. *Balrog comes down , I hop on and
we fly out the top of the forums, accidently destroying the banner*

sorry to double post, but here's a screenshot:



I hope you like it =)

I just finished doing the health + missile refills. (Although only refills health
because the missile comes later in the game. and only if I get to add it, I
may not put missiles in anyway.)

I made a topic about the save code, it doesn't work when I try and use it.
hopefully somebody will tell me what I'm doing wrong and it'll be in soon. Then
I'll get to work on the game and once I get to the point where you get the
Polar Star 2 (which later gets upgraded to the OOPZ! can't spoil the new
weapon 8) eheh.) I'll put in the weapon and figure out getting it to work right.

and that's all for now ^_^. good luck with hellruns playing in byond >3 lol

How did you create a weapon from scratch/completely new?I think thats impossible.

[Django, Black Evil]

It isn't impossible, it is just hard to do. Look around the forums for changing weapons. If I am correct, the game weapons are actually hard-coded in to the game. It could be possible to change damage and ways of firing but it would be harder to make a new weapon.

I don't think you two get it. This isn't a Cave Story Mod, this is a game based on Cave Story for the BYOND game system, which is a system allowing people to easily make games that can be played online with several other players at once.

Nora, two things:
1.ZOMG USINGSOMEONEELSES CODE!!!... okay, just kidding. I'm just still sore because I got in big trouble from the community back when I used BYOND about 2 years ago - they thought that experimenting with an old version of FFL was treason. :P
2. Saving is EVIL! I never ever understood how saving works. It's just way too screwed up.

BYOND huh? Want me to help? I've worked with other people on making icons and whatnot, if you need any just ask .

Correct! this is true. it's for byond. (check out www.byond.com)

Also, I actually was wondering about if people would hate me or not. =(

and saving IS evil. it tis. I'm asking Abu to help me with the saving code,
as he managed to pull it off. He let me use the code he used, but it doesn't
work. It doesn't show any errors, it just doesn't work... Kinda strange. It's
like dragonspeak all over again =/. (even though I know ds... but still.)

and Neonlare, I may need help for ripping some cave story floors and such
to byond icons. (it takes me forever to get it to where the floors will work well
together) Can you do that? (minus the Outer Wall ones, I'm getting those
covered already) If you don't know how, you just need to go to the game's
folder Cavestory/Data/Stages/ and find the .pbm files of stages, rename them
to .bmp files and open them in paint, then put them into byond icons. I ask
again, could you help me with that? If you need my email to email me the
icons, I can provide it. =)

and so, I await an answer ^_^.
