    That's no mockup...it's a space station.

    I think that such a system would be a tremendous improvement over the status quo, for the sake of the dear new users.

    Socrates is a man.
    Therefore, all men are Socrates.

    We've talked about that actually; there are three disadvantages:

    1) Quest size. The ZC executable and data files would have to be embedded in the quest.
    2) Portability. Currently, all quests can be played on Windows, OS X, Linux, and anywhere else we are able to port ZC. If we have ZQuest publish quests as executables, it would be up to each quest author to generate an executable for every supported platform; I fear most authors would be lazy and OS X and Linux users would get screwed.
    3) More files for quest authors to manage. If a quest author wanted to update a quest, he could no longer just download it from a qdb; he'd have to keep the editable version of the quest on his harddrive, and if he loses this version, he's screwed.

    Of course an executable quest also has many advantages, so making such a change is worth discussing as a future plan.

    Re: Loading Quests

    How about an option in ag.cfg so that all slots autoload a certain quest file? To the end user, it would appear to be an embedded quest (no need to manually load a custom quest, it becomes the default).

    Re: Loading Quests

    a) add a command line switch so we can load quests straight away
    b) config option for default quest
    c) new screen as depicted (corrected by me) by *b*

    Don't get ahead of yourself there. I chose those titles for a reason. For the first time user, which this suggestion is for, the original Zelda is considered a game. It still is, but we call it a quest because it's editable
