I edited the first quest in Zquest and came up with a weird glove issue. If I go to the screen where it is it doesn't seem to be there. The item pointer is still in the upper left. The flag in the correct armos is set to "armos->item."
The room type and item type are both set to "none."
But when I play it it does in fact work correctly. There seems to be no indication that the armos item is the glove instead of any other item. How is this done?

armos->item refers to the secret item, not the normal one.
That is correct. The problem, possibly a bug, is that normally the secret item is not visable.
If you change the room type to "special item." Set the "catchall," which is now special item, to glove 1, as it is on that screen. Then set the room type back to none. It will then allow you to determine the item type.
I just tried it and it works.
Thanks.
