CNPxxxx:yyyy:zzzz	Change entity with TSC script X to Type Y

CNP1000:0063:0002 in BARR.TSC changes the Nothing hidden in
the ground to Flipping Toroko. Nothing has script 1000,
Flipping Toroko is type 63. Later, the Nothing right above
the door is changed to Balrog and five more Nothings are
changed into Energy Shards (1) after defeating him.


CMPxxxx:yyyy:zzzz	Change map tile X:Y to Z

CMP0004:0008:0080 in BARR.TSC and the five that follow it
replace the doorway with a busted-up one.


BSLxxxx			Start a boss fight or something

CMU0004 CNP0400:0068:0002 BSL0400 in BARR.TSC changes Tame
Balrog into Boss Balrog (first style) and lets you fight
him. TSC script #400 is called when you defeat him.


ANPxxxx:yyyy:zzzz	Animate entity with TSC script X, but how?

CNP0400:0012:0000 ANP0400:0020:0004 in BARR.TSC changes
Balrog into Beaten Balrog and calls ANP to make him fly
away. A message is shown right after, which pauses the
animation.

it's fine that you actually could use some of my object descriptions, but why have you thrown some of the data away again?

Ok, for the Neko Ghost and the horizontally jumping lobster, it would be Moon.pbm, so it's 213 Night Spirit (Moon) etc., right?

Nice work.

Anyway, it might be a little offtopic, but it concerns Cave Story, and it is not that important that it would be worth a separate thread - I hereby declare that I managed to write a little conversion program that converts music from Cave Story's ORG format to N-SPC, thus making it possible to put cave story music into any SMW hack with SMAS music, as well as any other game with the N-SPC engine. Here is a demonstration of the inhuman powers I wield now.
(The song in that SPC is the title theme, which is as well played in the Plantation level.)
The limitations of it, by now, are the following ones:
- At its current state, there's hardly any use of it for a hack, because, as an example, the song downloadable above already takes up 10 out of the 13k of song data in that song bank, and for making it fit in there, I had to crush 90% of the other songs, so even things like the mario death jingle make the SPC crash now. The reason for that is that it lacks any ability to intelligently reduce the amount of settings used. It could be best compared with a HTML page which has a <font color=... size=... face=... ...> before every character. I am going to fix that later. I guess you could reduce the size of an average song to 50% of the uncompressed size and below.
- If there are more than 8 tracks used in the .org file, it will ignore the missing ones.
- Many things are just being ignored at conversion by now, like panning and volume.
- Few cave story instruments have appropriate-sounding counterparts in SMAS. That especially applies to the percussion samples.

btw - @Kawachan - it's fine that you actually could use some of my object descriptions, but why have you thrown some of the data away again? Like, the neko ghost that vertically floats at Outer Wall while spitting ghost mice at you (a cave story fansite says its actual name is Night Spirit) that was replaced with "???", while the lobster-like guys who hop horizontally in the same level were completely removed from the list.

Someone had seriously better put the Cave Story music into a Mario hack. Cave Story's soundtrack is one of the greatest of all time.
