Zelda Classic 1.92 Beta 180

[Dark Nation]

This is a bug-fix release.

DO NOT SAVE OVER OLD QUESTS WITH THIS VERSION! THERE IS A VERY GOOD POSSIBILITY THAT YOU WILL CORRUPT SOMETHING! THE NEXT BETA MIGHT NOT READ QUESTS FROM THIS BETA! USE THE LATEST PUBLIC BETA INSTEAD!

1. Fixed (I think) the bug with changing the map count.

2. Lockblocks can now be activated if they are in any way blocking your movement (before, you had to be lined up if you were moving vertically).

3. Lock blocks now sound like a door opening when you activate them.

4. Changed F1 back to VSync and made Ctrl-F1 the constant screenshot command.

5. Mouse Scrolling in the combo list now works again.

6. QSU export/import works now (this includes the backup feature).

7. Fixed the reflected fireball auto-homing bug.

8. Fixed the bug with multiple bomb placement.

9. Fixed the bug with save game icons not showing the proper ring color.

10. Fixed the bug where Link couldn't unlock door on the top of dungeon rooms if the Freeform Dungeon quest rule was enabled.

11. Fixed the bug where Wave Warps would show up as No Warps and vice-versa (quests higher than beta 167 may possibly have to be manually fixed to work right).

12. Screen data changes (Data->Screen Data) counts as a change, so telling ZQuest to exit will ask you if you want to save, if you haven't done so already.

13. Fixed movement inside doors in dungeons so it's like it was in Zelda 1 again (if you are inside a horizontal doorway, you can't face up or down, and if you are in a vertical doorway, you can't face left or right) unless you have the Freeform Dungeon quest rule checked.

14. Fixed tall grass/shallow water ripple hit detection to check Link's feet instead of his head.

Each new beta is like an early Christmas present. :) I especially like #14.

Are you refering to the fact that you could place 3 bombs on the screen at once in 179? I kind of liked that, even if it wasn't keeping to the original.

I like the fact that youre focusing more on fixing up bugs now :) It shows great responsibility. Im only ashamed that I cant find enough bugs :p

[KJAZZ]

I totally agree with BigJoe. Excellent work, fixing bugs is always great. I need to find more as well..mine tend to be features of some sort..o_O And as for the Multiple Bomb thing, maybe a rule could be put in? Or in Initial Data, maybe how many you could lay at once? For example, you could set it, like 2 Max always, or 50% of your max bombs, or 25%, or whatnot..

I found some bugs.

In some quests there are screens with a guy who gives you an item, and after you take the item the guy dissapears and the secret flags are activated using "enemies->secret". In this beta the secrets are activated when you enter the room.
I think the earlier betas counted the "guy" as an enemy and beta 180 doesn't count the "guy" as an enemy. So when he disapeared in the earlier betas it was the same as killing all the enemies.

I was on map 4 of a quest in zquest, then I opened up a quest with less than 4 maps. When I did that it either crashes or it goes to a messed up "map 4" (which doesn't exist in that quest), that has a bunch of random tiles.

QSU's work. *dances* Now we can finally get another version of mapmaker.

[fatcatfan]

Yes, I'll try to get on that this weekend.

[KJAZZ]

Yay! New Map Maker sounds really great right now..

Conveyors also pay attention to Link's head instead of his feet, as tall grass and shallow water did prior to this. Think you could fix that?

And I think the 3 bombs at once could be an init data field. LTTP allowed 2 at once, so it might be cool to have that option. :)
