help in general smh

[rancid igloo]

dialogs out of the box

and those are the dialogs i've made so far

and they did the same things

[abstract terrace]

try removing all of the blank space before your dialog lines

[rancid igloo]

you mean those?

[abstract terrace]

yes

[rancid igloo]

alright let me test it

[rancid igloo]

still happaned

[abstract terrace]

did you restart the game?

and did you save the text file?

[rancid igloo]

i did saved

but not restarted

i always press f5

[woeful agate]

replace "direction" with either "left" or "right"

[rancid igloo]

gonna test it

THAT WAS THE ISSUE

the game wasn't getting the position of the box

so it was placing on the middle

[woeful agate]

the reason is that the code thinks "direction" means two different things, so puts the portrait on one side but the space for the portait to go in on the other side

[rancid igloo]

also about custom NPCS

it asks for sprites

do i need the folder sprites inside of "Gameplay"??

[woeful agate]

if your image is in Graphics/Atlases/Gameplay/characters/YourName/ModName/image_name.png, put YourName/ModName/image_name
i think

[rancid igloo]

actually i figured out

but thanks for the help anyways

[rancid igloo]

map making help

how does bgs work

and how can i make one

it does not work

[woeful agate]

• the \ need to be /
• try restarting lönn

[woeful agate]

maybe change the 00, 01, ... to a, b, ...?

[rancid igloo]

let me try

[rancid igloo]

yup

[woeful agate]

yea, it thought it was an animation, and the vanilla stylegrounds can't handle that

[rancid igloo]

@woeful agate how can i remove madeline's backpack

[woeful agate]

that's in metadata i think, it's the 'inventory' setting
if that doesn't work for you, i think extended variant mode has a trigger you can use
(see https://max480-random-stuff.appspot.com/celeste/custom-entity-catalog#extended-variant-mode)

[rancid igloo]

well thanks

i can maybe upload the map now

just wanna make sure if nothing is wrong

[rancid igloo]

the mod is out now

thanks for the help

when i start making the full mod i will be here for more help

https://gamebanana.com/mods/407673 this is the page btw

[rancid igloo]

how can i be able to make custom portraits

[rancid igloo]

@mint cliff do you know how to make it?

[mint cliff]

Yeah, you need a Portraits.xml, you can take example on the vanilla one in Content/Graphics

[remote spire]

@rancid igloo there's a page on the wiki that shows how the xml should be set up

[rancid igloo]

how can i make checkpoints photos appear

i already saw iamdadbod's video and i still didn't understand why his worked

but mine dont

[remote spire]

where are the image files located, and where is your map file located?

[rancid igloo]

fixed

[woeful agate]

would you like me to mark this as resolved?

[rancid igloo]

i mean, dont, i still gonna ask a couple things

like this

my mod dosen't have a ending screen + a journal

and this

[quick sun]

For this last thing you just need to put the stuff between the {} as a dialog ID in your English.txt

[rancid igloo]

i mean its not the name i meant, i doesn't show the heart, berrys and deaths

[quick sun]

Have you beaten the map on that save file yet? I suspect that could help. Although it should still show deaths

[abstract terrace]

is it marked as an interlude?

[rancid igloo]

i did

also https://gamebanana.com/mods/411022

[woeful agate]

pretty sure this is because it's marked as an interlude; try turning that off (it's in metadata i think)

[rancid igloo]

oh

[rancid igloo]

how can i make a moving block

bc i want to make a dream block moving

[abstract terrace]

dream move blocks are available in communal helper

there's a list of all custom entities

[potent spire]

https://max480-random-stuff.appspot.com/celeste/custom-entity-catalog

[rancid igloo]

not dream moves i meant

like

moving blocks like the ones from chapter 2

[abstract terrace]

oh, just add a node to a dream block

it'll move back and forth between its position and the node

[rancid igloo]

what is it

a placement?

[abstract terrace]

select the dream block and press N

[rancid igloo]

OH

i didn't know that

thanks

[abstract terrace]

there's a bunch of entities that can use nodes for further customization. see:

[potent spire]

https://github.com/EverestAPI/Resources/wiki/Entity-and-Trigger-Documentation

[abstract terrace]

this should mention it for every entity that does

[rancid igloo]

also about the berry seeds

what is the name of it

[abstract terrace]

you get them by adding nodes to a berry lol

[abstract terrace]

[rancid igloo]

oh

[rancid igloo]

also how can i make to force spawnpoint

[abstract terrace]

do you mean changing the spawnpoint mid-room?

Change Respawn Trigger

[rancid igloo]

what is the name of the switchs of this block

[quick sun]

Touch switch

[rancid igloo]
