I found so many problems when upgrading to 1.92beta183 (hopefully I don't type it wrong) to v2.10. That's not only the ZC itself, but also the ZCQuest Editor.
I wrote my first quest in about 2002 or 2003 when it's still 1.92, one third finished and then left it. Now, I own 2.10 and found that there are so many new features added, so I decided to continue my quest. But that's when the problems started to pop out.
First, some tiles are just messed up. What before is water now changed into something weird. Dungeons are the worst; they messed up because the screen 82 and 83 messed up too, so I must redraw those screens properly and redraw all floors in dungeons (fortunately I only made 3 level so far).
Second and the most annoying, the enemy database seems to change. So, when I enter a room where it supposed to be Lanmolas in 1.92, now Digdogger Kids appear instead in 2.10. Worst, Patras appear in some areas where Link is still weak (I believe The Longest Journey got this problem since I entered a secret area in Lv 4 and encountered 4 Patras: one Oval, two normal Patras, and 1 Patra 3! Min ver is 1.92 while I play it on 2.10).
This can be annoying when you want to play quests which were made under 1.92 in 2.10; that can lead the quests unplayable in 2.10 and you must downgrade to 1.92 (and maybe lower) or have both ZC 1.92 and 2.10. That's not practical at all I think.
So, can you fix these bugs? I think new versions just add new features and fix some known bugs, not add more bugs into it.
Anyone can help to overcome these problems? Thanks.
