Announcement: The Legend Of Zelda (Both Quests) Deluxe

[Matthew Bluefox]

I am working on a suxxessful follow-up on the Zelda 1.5 Deluxe single-quest project. It's a dubble-quest project based on the original TLOZ, butt of course with my "deluxious" ambience. New items, new enemies (those from 1.5 Deluxe and more), two cumplete overworlds (!!) based on the original and nine dungeons, also based on the original game.

The enemies in the basic Hyrule overworld map are almeowst identical to the basic game. Some screens have received additional enemies where it made no sense to me to have no enemies in the original game.

There is now a mirror Hyrule overworld with much stronger enemies. I hope you're gunna enjoy that. The first five levels are accessible from Hyrule, while the last four levels have to be accessed through the mirror part of Hyrule

Okies, I hope I've been able to catch sum of your interest. The quest is being created on the RC3 client of 2.5 Beta. That means that Moldorms will sumtimes leave the screen field (wait to have them come back or just leave screen and re-enter to circumvent the bug). Once RC4 is out, that bug should be solved anyway, and the RC's are cumpatible downwards.

I have finished development of the first quest and I have decided that this quest is to be the new "Deluxe" quest. I will cuntinue developping the second quest, butt at a slower pace. The former "Zelda 1.5 Deluxe" had severe graphical issues in the mirror world which would have taken longer to fix than actually doing this new quest. Can an administrator please remove the current "Zelda 1.5 Deluxe" quest from the QDB? I will upload the new TLOZ Deluxe Q1 or "Zelda Deluxe Quest 1" in a few days from now. I'm now testing the final environments (Levels 6 to 9) for smaller issues. All big ones have been exterminated already.

The quest is now available for download. Until I have recieved the first feedback from another player, it's cunsidered a public beta. I made sure there are no major bugs left, butt if you find a minor one, by all means, please do let me know! :)

None of the download links work. I cannot comment on the quest if I cannot download.

[Matthew Bluefox]

Indeed, I'm sorry for not posting the updated links in here, as I got no feedback from here at all, I put less priority. So here we go:

1st Quest (Beta Final Stage): http://www.mediafire.com/?n2iu99yvuvogca0
2nd Quest (Beta Bug-Fix Stage): http://www.mediafire.com/?ib1ndyy55ish4c2

[Matthew Bluefox]

Above links are outdated, butt the latest versions have now been uploaded to the QDB of Zelda Classic. Those are 1.0 fully playable and working versions. Both second and first quest should work nicely and screenshots have been added as well.

Edit: Apparently the second quest is now in the QDB, butt the first one is not. I wunder why. :(
Edit 2: I have been asked to upload the first quest again, so I did. Also, some screenshots appear to be missing in the second quest QDB entry as well, I was told it could be updated as well. So let's hope for the best. :)

[Matthew Bluefox]

Hello people, both quests have been uploaded to the QDB now! :) The second quest is missing two more screenshots, butt they're almeowst the same like the first quest's (overworld is similar). :) I didn't wanna give away too many details (spoilers), so I kept the screenshots in both quests simple enuff. I hope that this is not stopping you from trying my quests out. :) Thankies to Dashie for LPing both of my quests soon on Youtubies. :)

PS: There are now two "2nd Quest" files up. Please take the sooner one (the one with the Level 1 screenshot as title).

[Dashie]

Lol. No problem. Ahh...old timer. (http://youtu.be/JsGCo_0Uu84)

[Matthew Bluefox]

Oh wowies, you already started! Sumtimes it's a bit hard to understand what you're saying (specially me not native English), butt I'll try. :D

[Dashie]

Hee hee. I just want anyone get happy when I play their quest. Why dark room won't lit when I use candle? (http://youtu.be/wIPJF4CzGkE)

[Matthew Bluefox]

Blue candle cannot light rooms, yellow candle can which is in Level 4 ... Level 7 is red candle (multiple usage in screen). :) You can burn red bushies with the yellow candle already.

[Dashie]

Aw you got kidding me. Yellow candle? That pretty rare to me. But awesome item you make. :thumbsup:

[Matthew Bluefox]

Yeah, there is a yellow candle in both quests. And as far as I know, they're both in Level 4 anyway. :) I hope to see a new part some day soon, maybe with Levels 5 and 6? :)

An update has been uploaded to match with the latest release of ZC 2.5 (which is the final release for that version). Lanmola and Moldorm dropsets in this quest have been changed accordingly, since it's now possible to assign a dropset to each segment of any Lanmola and / or Moldorm.

There is a known issue in this ZC release that makes Moldorms and Lanmolas disappear (like a killed enemy) if you exit and re-enter the room after having killed just a single segment. This is already fixed in the internal next release. This update to my quest is upwards compatible. No need to restart the game when the next ZC patch is released.

As usual, the updated URL's are in my signature. This applies to both quests of Zelda Deluxe.

[Matthew Bluefox]

There have been major updates to the first two quests to get them better in line with the recently released third quest of Zelda Deluxe. All three most updated quest links are in my signature for download. Enjoy! :)

[Matthew Bluefox]

A small update has been released for the 3rd Quest to fix two texture (secret combo or flag) issues in mirror Hyrule. If you find more bugs, please let me know. :)

[Matthew Bluefox]

The 4th Quest, which is the last and largest one of the entire series, is now available for the first time. All three other quests have received major updates! It's worth re-downloading them if you're currently playing.

PS: If anyone has downloaded the SECOND Quest within the last 12 hours, please download again. There is a small tile error (flipped over by magic hand) in the healthbar and save / continue screen. It's been hotfixed and now in my sig.

PPS: The FOURTH quest version was wrong when uploaded ... I'm really sorry for this! The correct version is now in my signature. With the version provided yesterday, the Level 1-3 entrance is blocked by a bush which you can't burn without magic. Sorry! Fixed now.

PS3: Thanks to the beta-testers, three bugs have been squashes in Levels 6-2, 8-1 and 8-2 ... thanks for playing! Update in my sig.
