Unless we find an old copy of the ZC source I do not think loading 1.02 quests will be possible.

    We should be able to get 1.84 quests working, however.
    @War Lord might have the 1.xx code. Jeremy would too, I would think, if you want to send him a PM. It's pre-allegro *.cc code though, and it may not cross anyway. With enough work, it would be possible, but how man quests are in pre 1.84 format that anyone needs/wants to load?

    We could make it a minor 2.60 goal, but I cannot say what the result might be. We would need to make a wholly different loading routine. Did 1.0x quests load in 2.10?

    1.0x quests don't load in 1.84, period, end of sentence.

    Also, PM's on vacation, so I can't ask him for a minimum of a few weeks.

    I did some investigation; looks like the change was introduced in SVN build 803 by _L_ (to fix a related bug where picking up a loose item on a screen would also remove the Item Room item; the issue is that both Item and Hunger rooms use the same BELOW flag to indicate they have been triggered.)

    Easiest fix I guess is to add a compatibility quest rule, turned on for quests older than 2.11 b18, that restores the old behavior (picking up the loose item toggles both the ITEM and BELOW flag).

    Pushed a fix to both master and 2.50.x.
