...then check out this short example dungeon I wrote: http://69.25.196.251/~l/revolution.zip
Every room contains a unique scripted FFC, and sometimes more. The point is to illustrate how FFC scripts can be used to make everything from cutscenes to custom enemies to new puzzle elements.
The zip contains the unlocked quest file and all of the FFC script text files used in it. Also, the dungeon music used is "Revolutionary" by Chopin.

Just FYI,
this is one of the coolest things I've ever seen. Seriously. _L_, you've outdone yourself. ;) :thumbsup: It's simply beyond impressive in terms of fan creations. It was a surprise at every turn.
(Man, I really wanted that heart container.)
Holy
Freaking
Crap
That is all I have to say
Majorly impressive, man. Quite well done
Wow.....
That makes a great tutorial thingy for those like me with no idea what their doing. Very very nice.
Ya, that was a cool little play through.
I'm looking forward to setting down and learning this new revolution Jman whipped together, sadly it's going to be a while for me.
Your demonstration gives me something to look forward to. ;)
(Potential spoilers below)
I tested this quest and managed to get myself stuck: I rode the freeform raft up a screen, past the motion-detecting spike to the right screen, got off, and walked towards the freeform rock until it got activated. I got out of the way as it destroyed my raft, went up, and recieved my key. At this point, I used the magical whirlwind to leave the dead-end and return to the first screen (and raft). However, I have no idea on how to continue from this point. I checked in the Quest file in ZQuest, but there are apparently no flags set in dmap 2. I would appreciate some tips on how to check out the other freeform scripting combos -L- created. :)
BUG: If you use the magical whirlwind (flute) from the second screen (the one with the left-right spike trap, the zoro, and what appears to be the dungeon entrance), you are whisked to the right of the screen and then it hangs - at least the two times I did so right in front of the dungeon entrance.

Use the key on a bush to the right of the dungeon entrance. You can then continue.
_L_ you did a great job with this! I am very impressed. It is nice to see a live sample of exactly how powerful this FF scripting can be. Great job!
Thank you, it worked! I somehow overlooked the key shape on the bush. :)Quote:

I do have another potential bug: In the room with the moving blocks, Link recieves damage when they hit them as they fly to the other side. However, he doesn`t recieve damage if he walks through them once they have "landed". Was this intended?
I hope that the scripting language eventually gets access to more elements of the Zelda Classic core to become even more flexible and adaptable.

You saw through my bluff!Quote:

It's extremely easy to fake solidness for any FFC. Making them actually solid though would be difficult under the current collision system. But faking solidness would be enough for most applications.
Teach me oh great master! We aren't worthy
Finally got a chance to check this out - awesome! You guys should package this with the new version once it's released to the public.
Hey i had downloaded this before & then deleted it but now i need it again. After clicking the the link & downloading it, the folder won't open or unzip. An error occurs that says "The compressed folder is invalid or corrupted" Can this be fixed?
I LOVE THIS! I love everything about it! I can't wait till I finish it!
It's so good, and it makes a lot of stuff easy now. Thanks L.
Nothing wrong on my side... (though, I'm using StuffIt Expander 8.0.2 for Mac.)Quote:

Oh and I was wondering about those combo cycling jumping Link tiles, do they have to be set to specific combos or how does the script replace Link with the combo cycling jumping Link? If the master himself can answer to these questions I'd be very thankful. :)Quote:
Unable to parse instruction 2 from script ffc005.txt
The error was: Parameter 2 invalid.
The command was <COMPARER> <x,lx>

The error was: Parameter 1 invalid.
The command was <COMPAREV> <lx, 136>
Unable to parse instruction 4 from script ffc021.txt
The error was: Parameter 2 invalid.
The command was <SETR> <d1,lx>
This was made for an older beta; the argument names have changed slightly since then. If you replace lx and ly with linkx and linky, I think that should make it work.Quote:

The script just move Link somewhere else on the screen, where you can't see him, and puts a couple of FFCs that look like him where he was. So, yeah, they do have to be in a certain place in the list, but it's a simple change to the script if you want to put them elsewhere.Quote:

I take care of the place while the Master is away.Quote:

Ah, thank you very much Master Saffith. ;)
I'll test if that works later tonight. Hopefully changing lx and ly to linkx and linky is enough.
This is really impressive! It was enough to make me install ZC 2.0 again and all I can say is I wish this scripting was around when I used ZQ!
Congrats on a great quest and I look forward to seeing what this ends up becoming. :)
where do you find the flute? o.O
I think you start out with it. That, and the candle. Maybe the bow and arrow as well, but I don't quite recall.
All the link does is goes to a random-joe's site with so many sponsered links that I couldn't find anything more. WTF.
...damn. I want to check this out, but when I click on the link, I go to a page where I can't find the download link!
Where is the link?
Link updated.

YESSSSSSSS!
(Haven't played it yet-but the link works! Hurrah!)
I keep getting a corrupt archive.
