Zelda Classic 2.11 Beta 12

[Freedom]

Still crashes for me with the two new .dat files.
I'll try redownloading everything again.

[Mega Link]

Thanks! It works now!

-----------------------------

I have a suggestion. (this should be easy to do) In the tile editor, there currently is a overlay feature, well put in a underlay feature. This would save time in the add the transparent pixels/copy/paste/copy/paste/copy/overlay prosess. All you would have to do is add the transparent pixels, copy the background tile, and underlay it.

[Freedom]

It's just not going to work for me I guess.
I redownloaded everything including the two new dat files, it still crashes when I try to open a custom quest.

Mac users redownload the archive for OS X. It might be static now.

Hmm, it still needs libstdc++, though. How come this release requires it and 2.11b9 didn't?

Try this, if it still doesn't work:
make a new folder. Unzip first the new support archive, then the newest beta.
If that doesn't work download beta 11, unzip into the same folder but choose NO to any "overwrite?" questions. Then delete ag.cfg.

Can't promise anything, but there's a chance it'll work.

EDIT: and I see some fixes have been added to the first post - try them too.
If it still doesn't work could you post your allegro.log file that should be created in the ZC folder when you try to run, and your precise version of alleg42.dll (right-click it, choose properties, select version tab. It should say "File version: 4.2.0.0". If not, post that too.

EDIT2:

there currently is a overlay feature, well put in a underlay feature.

It exists. CTRL-O. Also, you can mass overlay by selecting a range of tiles and pressing SHIFT-O. Press CTRL-SHIFT-O for mass underlay.

We have some calls to the stdc++ library.

koopa,
this threads getting confusing so I don't know if you're talking to me for sure, but here is the info with mine.

mine works except when opening custom quests, then it crashes when you press enter to start game play after regestering a name and choosing the custom quest.
I've downloaded and tried it 3 times, not overwritting files, but deleting them out and starting fresh.

I just tried it and it did the same thing to me Freedom. Any ideas why guys?

No matter what quest you use, if you register a new name then chose a custom quest fresh, it'll crash.
If the name is already resgistered and you just reassign it to another, it works fine.

I thought the enemy contest winners were going to be implemented like in beta 30 or until final version... (Whee! Bombchus!)

The current FFC scripting seems quite difficult right now, but seems to be really useful.
I suggest using another programming language for the FFC scripts (C or C++ could be better)

We have some calls to the stdc++ library.

Ah, of course - but the problem (from what I've just learned) is that it requires the dynamic library "libstdc++.dylib", but for Mac OS 10.3.8 and earlier there's only the static library "libstdc++.a" available. (Is that what you meant by "it might be static now"?)
