Enemy Editor

[Master Maniac]

Ok guys i need to know where i can get a stable enemy editor that works with 2.10

i came up with this awesmoe idea to make oni-link and dark link a struggle in links mind

[Russ]

Unfortunatley, there is no enemy editor for 2.10. Go to shardstorm.com (http://shardstorm.com) and download one of the alpha builds. 254 is pretty stable, but the enemies made with it won't be compatible with 2.5, so I suggest you just download the newest alpha.

[Master Maniac]

so you mean none of them will work with 2.10? wait you said 254 works... and im not planning on up-grading any time soon because Im relatively new to this stuff.(And yes i know the enemy editor isnt for noobs but ill need it so ill take that risk)

And also, Is there any way to make a newly drawn sword take 2 tiles? i wanted to make the double helix but i dont know how to make a large sword like that

[Majora]

Nope. Swords are all 1 tile big. Until post 2.5

[Master Maniac]

ok... umm i need some help interpreting the enemy editor now though...
i need to know what these do:

Misc. attributes
Q.animation
E.animation
Halt rate
Random rate
Item set
Q.tile
S.tile
E.tile

sorry to bother you guys with so much!

[Master Maniac]

whoa... thats a lot of stuff

and gleeok, have you made a working "dark link"? if you... or anyone has, can you send me the codes and configurations?

thanks for all your help people

[ShadowMancer]

Yea forgot about the misc attributes, thanks Gleeok. no they are not in the Wiki, but they should be. Hopefully more documention will be written soon, I've seen alot of new members lately I think ZC is getting quite a following :)

[Gleeok]

Do wan't to make a scripted "dark link" or something out of the enemy editor?
If it is the latter, what would you like him to do?

[Master Maniac]

ok umm i dont know what that all means but ill tell you what id like him to do

Ok i want him to copy link's movements,but stay close enough to attack
and i want him (if possible) to swing a sword like link
and i want it out of the enemy editor (i just figured out what you meant)
and i want him to dodge some (not all) of links attacks (once again, If possible)

basically i want him to be smart

And one more thing... how do you make misc. attributes for custom enemies on the enemy editor?

[Gleeok]

Alrighty then, i'll see if I can't get those misc numbers up and running for evil link.

In the meantime try opening up [file->enemies] and look at some of the misc numbers and compare them to the above post to see how it works. you might wan't to use windowed mode so you can veiw both at the same time. ;)

[Master Maniac]

ok thank you

Meanwhile i need help with an edited subscreen...

Ok ive made the subscreen (both passive and active)
But when i select it on the quest>misc.data>master subscreen type, it comes up only the Active subscreen i created (not the active) umm it might be the other way around though... the one with the life bar shows up right and te pause meni doesnt... how do i fix this??

and i know... i shouldn't be using an alpha build yet but i want my quest to be perfect so i need it

oh and i just read the code gleeok posted(i copied and pasted it into microsoft word) and i didnt think stalfos shot weapons? oh well... learned somethin new

Wow that sounds pretty cool, sounds like you might need some scripting (I have been experminting with AI programming for a short time, still not great at it) These things all sound doable however.


didnt think stalfos shot weapons?
Well the original stalfos did not but the ones in LoZ 2nd quest shot swords. I think the Stalfos 2 in the enemy list is the one that fires swords.

[Gleeok]

Hmm...I'm having a problem with this...it seems 4 frame 4 dir + firing doesn't work on darknuts with misc1 set to 1...they will always use the second row(preparing, or firing) of animation. Hmm...some other problems as well with others, but anyway.
-Some link idea's; Darknut type:
misc 10=4
misc1=1
HP: Link hp(current sword power)
step= 122
homing= 256
weapon=sword

Stalfos:
misc10=0
step 122
weapon=sword.
4 frame 4 dir + firing, and you can use link sword swinging sprites for this one. Although stalfos enemies can't use shields. :(

I also thought of something entirely weird..
You can change the graphics of Gleeok4 to make it look like gannon is controlling "links" and use scripts or shooters to add sword fire...:googly:

[Master Maniac]

dude gleeok youre awesome... thanks man im gonna really need this lol

[LostInHyru1e]

Very interesting stuff, enemy editing... I'm not going to clog up my computer with Alpha Builds, but I can't wait for 2.5 to be released! I'm going to try to learn as much about it now as possible before it comes out.

On another note, Master Maniac, you seem to becoming pretty good at this pretty quickly. :) Do you have a title for your upcoming game yet?

[Master Maniac]

actually yea its called"the legend of zelda, the warped world"

but I'm working on another quest (a whole 3-part series with lttp graphics) and you play as a different part of link in each one. i dont have a name though yet...

oh and thanks i usually pick up stuff like this quickly and easily... but of course im still going to have some problems but it will work eventually XD

[LostInHyru1e]

"The Warped World"? Hmm... I'd need to know a bit more about the game, but that doesn't sound like a very enticing title. ~_~ Maybe something like "Warp time!" or something more exciting would work better.

Do you have a beta tester yet?
