What's new/fixed:

1. The new triggers should be working now and I've added the wand and hammer triggers. The wand itself, not the magic, activates the wand trigger.

2. The hookshot now goes through any gap that is 1/2 combo size or larger. Before, it wouldn't go between combos that were together and had their touching walk flags turned off.

3. Weapons should trigger things at the right times now. For instance, before, an arrow would trigger an arrow flag even if it was combo lower. This should be fixed now.

4. Stalfos 3 should be pretty much finalized now. Fires 4 swords instead of 1 now.

Gotta run. I'll try to update this post later with more details. Until then, see what you can find on your own.

I'm sure that the bug that previously was corrupting quests that had exactly 256 combos is still around. I think it's a roaming bug, though, so something else may trigger it now. Whenever you save, export a QSU file as well, just in case. Also note, I made a big change in the format of the quest files in this version, so make sure you back up stuff first.

One thing that you might notice immediately different, there are now 4 more template screens at the bottom. Secret combos use screen 84 instead of 83 now.

Anyway, here are the files:

Zelda Classic 1.92 Beta 138 for DOS
+zelda.exe
+zquest.exe

Zelda Classic 1.92 Beta 138 for Windows
+zelda-w.exe
+zquest-w.exe

If you missed them the last time around, here are the support archives:

Won't that cause some compatability issues?

JayeM 16 Mar 2002, 22:13

No, I think the compatibility issues have been solved by older quests having 83 duplicated in 84. Cool, we have plenty of space for secret combo tiles now! Now to figure out what 85, 86, and 87 are for...

The Boomerang Trigger among other things has been fixed, now they work like any other secret.

Like the moved stuff: Gives you more secret combo options.

ZQuest, Zelda, or both? When you get the illegal operation, press the Details button. What is it causing an illegal operation in?

It seems like that 256 combo bug is the only thing that wont go away:laughing: :lol:

1. Does that mean that we are done using the .qst extension?
2. Ive been constructing a test version of my LLT quest since Beta 115, Would I have to start over again?
