I read before posting... But I need help.

[Maetora]

I always have technical difficulties in terms of game editing... I thought maybe I'de get lucky with ZQuest... But... :angry:

The following quote is the exact file that I downloaded:

Zelda Classic v2.10 - Windows Version 5.3mb
Version 2.10 marks the first ZC release in a very long time. Released on New Years Day, 2005, ZC 2.10 brings many of the features that Zelda Classic Fans have been hoping for, into reality.
There is a windows version, as well as a DOS version. Mac and Linux versions are in the works but are not publicly available yet.
Programmers: Dark Nation, fatcatfan

Now, the following is all the files that came with the download:

- - - - -

1st.qst - QST File
2nd.qst - QST File
3rd.qst. - QST File
182test.qst - QST File
ag - Microsoft Office Configuration File
alleg41.dll - Application Extension
allegro - Microsoft Office Configuration File
allegro - Text Document

zcmusic.dll -Application Extension
zelda.dat - DAT File
zelda.sav - SAV File
zelda-w - Application
zgp.dat - DAT File
zquest - Text Document
zquest-w - Application

- - - - -

Now... Here are my problems:

First of all, I'de like to load the game just to see if it works. But it's not my quest I made. It's the original quest the download is supposed to come with. When I try that, it says:

Error loading 1st.qst: Internal Error Occured

I have all my files where they should be, right in a folder on my desktop. Why is it saying that? I also didn't edit that file in any way. Right after I downloaded the thing, I wanted to start the application. The "Armageddon Games", logo popped up with the burning flames, and then I entered in a name, and started the game. That's when I got the error. I saw another help tutorial involving something to do with the, "Browse", option, to just load the game manually, but I wasn't given that option during my problem.

And another problem: When I'm in the edit (zquest-w) mode, it doesn't let me alter the colors for the tiles/objects/things... I heard you had to press the number pad to change the colors, but they said that if you're on a lap top then you'll have to press the "Fn" button. I tried both, but nothing works, so I'm stuck with the first set of tiles, being that of green.

What's the deal?

Sorry if these sort of questions were asked and answered, but I can't find anything here relating it. I get lost within the tutorials that lead me to things I don't want or need to know yet.

I hope to get a response of help. I'll reply back with info later today.

I suggest two steps:
1) http://www.ermock.com/zeldaclassic/zc190sr1.exe
Download the 1.90 version and copy 1st.qst into your directory.
2)If that fails, try using 2.11

[Maetora]

I had a problem with 1.90. It said that, "The system", did not support full screen mode, and it only gave me the option to close it out. Even if there is an option to do a non-full screen mode, I'de still like to have it work in full screen mode as well.

Could you give me a link with version 2.11? I couldn't find the file at Zelda Classics or the Ermock website.

Thanks so far!

Here you go: http://www.shardstorm.com/zc/alphas/901-windows.zip

[Maetora]

All right, thanks for the links. The 902-windows one worked. I'm guessing that this is the 2.11 one? Hmm... Well, it let me load the game, and use full screen and everything, but the color problem still remains. I can't alternate the colors, for example, to make the GREEN trees to brown. I pressed the numbers, and I tried pressing the, "Fn", button as well. Is there any other way to get the job done? Perhaps a manual way? Thanks for the help.

I don't have a laptop myself, but I think you need to hold the "Fn" button while pressing '+' or '-' on your Keypad (it should be around your UIO keys). I don't know of any other way to change CSets.

I tried that, too. It didn't work.

Dang, there's no way to put an attached image on a post that I can see.
On the bottom center box of the ZQuest screen, look at the very bottom right-hand portion, where it tells you your CSet. For example, it says "CSet 1". Just click that(not the arrow thing), click the text. It's cumbersome, but better than nothing.

Ah cool! It works, and it's not cumbersome at all. At least with the version I'm using. Thanks a lot. :)

Now... To plague you all with more questions while I'm at it...

How do I import graphics? :\ The only option I can see is to open up the file, thus deleting everything I've made on my map... Can't I just add the tiles/graphics to the current one? :\

File -> Import -> Tiles/Graphics Pack (or whatever else you want to import)
