how do i make text appear outside of rooms?

its ok to be a n00b XD i was one once...

ok so to load scripts. first it depends on what kind you have. if you found ZASM, then go to tools>scripts>import (whichever type, global FFC oritem) ASM script.

then it should be loaded.

for ZScript go to tools>scripts>Compile Zscript
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

but before you do all that, save both scripts on notepad in the SAME FILE.
when you save it click "save as" and NOT "save".

type the name of your file and instead of the text document file extension (.txt) you are going to save it as a .z document. (.z) and before you click save hit the drop down box and click save as all filetypes.

now youre ready to load it to Zquest.


if you tried to import them seprately, it would be an epic fail because the buffer can only load one document, and once another is loaded, the previous one is erased, rendering the script it belonged to useless.

if you have questions dont hesitate to ask =)

lol revfan beat me to it :p

Wait, you can just import 2 different files and compile them seperately, just as well. All that the buffer does is store the code about to be compiled. After the code is already changed into Zasm and stored into the quest, the buffer has nothing to do with it.

Note that putting them both in the same file will also work, just wanted to point out that error.

[Master Maniac]

oh... i thought the buffer is where it stored the scripts to look at them when they are used...

my bad sorry.

well i got most of it right anyway =)

k so i clicked the tools button and there's no script option

[Revfan9]

Down at the bottom. If it's not there, check the quest menu, I remember hearing something about them moving it down there. I haven't checked the site for the new betas in a week or so.

[dingo131]

it's not there either.

[Revfan9]

Right there.

*Also, as a little side game, I've hidden a reference to Team Fortress 2 somewhere in this post before the asterisk. Whoever can find it gets a cookie.

Guys, if you read his post you'd see he stated that he's using 2.10.

dingo131: Unfortunately scripting is a newer feature so it only works with recent versions of ZQ. If you would like to check out the new content that has been added click here: www.shardstorm.com

Also for some tutorials or info on the new betas go to the Zelda Classic main site and click on "ZC Wiki".

You can do it with warps and duplicate screens in 2.10.

It's a bit clunky though.

[Revfan9]

Wait, people still use 2.10? O.o
