Updates?

[KingArthur]

Well.. just curious whats new with the beta, nothing has been posted in here and the channel has been pretty dead these past couple weeks as well, just curious as to the status of our beloved little game ;)

[Linkman90]

So far, the only real bug I have found is that Freeform bug, and I posted that? o_O Maybe this one is just... buggless... *snickers a bit in the background* :P

I think we've found the majority of bugs so far, but be on the lookout for the sneakier ones that always tend to creep in.

[KingArthur]

Yeah, most bugs are squished, but its always nice to know what the devs are up to, with their sneakyness and stuff :P

I've been working on bug fixes and the like. I've update the bug list and closed several bugs listed there.

One thing I've been particularly interested in is the color scheme from Zelda 1 and how ZC's is not quite correct. I got a copy of the source code for FCE Ultra and examined the palette data inside. Using that data, I corrected the colors in 1st.qst and am working on updating 2nd.qst and 3rd.qst as well. After that, I plan to import the corrected colors into the default quest (the initial blank quest that ZQuest uses) and change any nonconforming colors there to their NES counterparts.

Here are some screenshots of the modifications I've made:

Oh man, finally! I've known about that for a long time. Great jorb!

[Dark Nation]

I've fixed 18 bugs in the categorized bug list so far. I hope to have it whittled down even farther soon.

And this is why despite whatever I do, Dark Nation will always be the H4rdcore l33t programmer of the group.

So give him some respect ^_^

/me props DN thats great man, you guys just keep up the good work. It had just been wee's since i'd really heard anything :P

[Dart Zaidyer]

I notice you've been striking out these bugs on the list yourself. That certainly makes my job a little easier. =)

[Jigglysaint]

Good to see some action still going in this forum.

[*b*]

it's great to see anything at all going on. I thought all the developers of ZC had died, since there was no activity for a while

glad to see the palette fix. I was going to make a palette fix like that, but I decided not to
