wouldn't it be cool to have a starwars quest?You could have lightsabers and instead of a puff of smoke that appears when you kill an enemy,they could get vaporized!You could use force by making an item,like the wand for example,invisible and stuff.

If you are making a starwars quest or have ideas for one,then post here!

hmm.. Interesting idea. I was going to make one and was a decent way through it, but wasn't pleasd with myself. The quest wasn't good enough because I didn't know how to do some stuff in ZC but ive ben wondering latley whether to make it again since im much better at ZC now. I also know more about the Star Wars storyline so I think ill try making a star wars quest soon...

EDIT: Oh what the hell I'll get started on it. I decided to make a Star Wars quest...

cool.you should have force powers or something.make an invisible boomerang or wand or something.

I just thought of the COOLEST thing.MAKE A GENERAL GREVOUS TILE!! That could be a boss or something.Also, when you have a demo and/or the quest done,please let me know.this sounds cool.

Excelent idea, one which I ave considered many times but unfortunately do not have the neccersary expertise in quest making. The only help I could offer if a group of people wish to start this is possibly tile creation, and basic quest design.

It would make an great quest though, I was thinking of making it span all 6 episodes but I think that may be a bit to ambitious, especially witht he transition of main character from anakin to luke.

This senario made me think perhaps it could be an unseen character which we could create whom spans all 6 episodes. Levels could take place against the backdrops of main scenes int he film.

However, this means that the game would probabaly lose all its appeal, I think most people would want to play as a well known character who at least features in the film at one point. I guess we could use a random storm trooper for the game and hav it pro empire, however that would mean lightabers would be a no go.

I suggest we follow lukes story, you could expand apon the current storylines of the film and set the start of the game perhaps a year or 2 before A New Hope and perhaps even finish it long after ROTJ.

If we stick to this idea I suggest something vaguely simillar to the follwoing:
Areas:

Tatooine
Lars Home Area
Sand Dunes
Obi Wans Pad area
Jabba's palace
Mos Eisly - Cantina

Hoth

Rebel Base
Ice Cavern
Snowy Area
Battle field

Bespin
Cloud City - Exterior Area, Freezing Chamber ect

Dagobah
Yoda's Hut
Dark Side Cavern
Training Area

Death Star
Limitless Posibilities

Obviously Most areas would be accesible but you wouldn't be able to do much untill aquiring different items or powers.

Dungeons Could be:

Tusken Raiders cave, boss tusken raider.

Cantina - Very Small, simple boss involving two thugs

Death Star - No boss so to speak, but loats of storm troopers towards end of dungeon, also no real end section you find Leia then take an alternative route to the 'entrance' which could actualy be a different area yet looks the same

Death Star Attack Run, Dungeon which uses raft paths in order to simulate x-wing - Boss would be exhaust ports complete with vaders ship.

After this point You would probably gain control of the lightsaber. And would have depended on blasters untill now.

Ice Cavern - Standard Ice level Boss = Wampa

Dagobah - Dark Side Cave - Wierd, mysterious dungeon, heavy use of force in this dungeon Boss would be toned down version of vader in simmilar way to phantom gannon.

Cloud City Freezing Chamber - Multiple (3) battl;es with vader, in freezing chamber, glass window section and final bit on walkway.

possibilty for dramatic cut scene here.

Jabas Palace - Boss - The Rancor!!

Jabbas Cruiser, not really dungeon but a hectic fast paced battle section culminating in boss fight with boba and perhaps with Jabba (we can alter the storyline slightly! Can't we?)

Back to dagobah, perhaps another visit to the dark side cave with no powers to open new areas of dungeon? (we dont see luke go back there, but we can assume he does)

Ewok Village - Battle with ewoks?!? I dont know!

Forest mood of endor imperial shield generator - perhaps luke fights hear before "surrendering"

Death Star 2 - Vaguely Simmilar but different in places, much harder enemies and new section involving emporers tower (we can assume luke escapes his father but is recaptured and taken to the emporer)

Thats 13 dungeons! Not bad, if we could get some skilled dungeon makers on board it has lots of potential.

Weapons could include

Lightsaber blue - rubish really, same as wooden sword

Lightsaber blue II - no differenece just slightly stronger, could recieve this in empire strikes back.

Lightsaber Green - Ability to shoot "lasers" back (shoooting swords ability) much stronger than blue one

Purple saber? - Secret one found in dungeon? Perhaps on jedi temple level only accisble after defeating emporer palpatine? Ultimate saber, most powerful one.

Blaster 1 set for stun - boomerang
Blaster 2 set for kill - arrows
turbo laser - light arrows?

Grappeling hook - hookshot, used to traverse distances such as death star gap

im at a loss for the rest of the items, perhaps force push or something?

Maybe ability to use lightning? Secret ability?

Sprites could be...

Luke IV
Luke V
Luke VI
Storm Trooper variations
han
chewie
leia - variations
ben
vader
yoda
Lando
Lobot
Boba
Imperial Officers
bounty hunters
imperial guard
sand people
Artoo
threepio
Tarkin
snow troopers
owen
beru
ewok
various other alien inhabitants
various other droids
ghots ben
anakin skywalker
palpatine hologram
ben and vader dueling simple animation sprite for sue on death star
emporer palapatine statues
emporer
jabba
bib fortuna
han carbonite
rebels
xwing - raft
ligtsaber
blaster shot

hew that was a lot, i might add more later, feel free to expand on this.

wow thanks for some ideas ive gotten started on the quest and im working on Tatooine. I started it there since A New Hope starts there and the quest is episodes 4-6. I have you play as Luke and you an go to any planet that is even mentioned in ANY of teh movies. I can do the quest but i'm wondering:

Can anybody help me draw some Star Wars tiles? (Characters and spaceships)
I'm not very good at making tiles so i'm just asking for help. Thnx.

If you can find it (through perfectly legal means of course), use tiles from Yoda Stories it was on the GBC and PC. They should work well with ZC.

I would be up for a joint quest. I have exams this week but after this week ill have months of free time.

I would definately be interested in doing some of the tiles, mainly character sprites.

PS should this not be in the quest discussion thread?

can i ask someone a question please and can u email me?? my email address is [email][email protected][/email]

i wanted to ask u. how do u make yer own zelda game ?? what do u need 4 it what do u click. please if its not to hard or u have a few minutes please email me and tell me

yeah i guess this would do better in quest discussion...

anyways, I have decided to make this into a group quest. I need the following people:

1. Somebody to help make Hoth
2. Somebody to help with tiles (This includes ripping, recoloring, and taking a picture of them in ZC and sending them to me, and also hand-drawing some of them)
3. I'm gonna need help with Bespin since a lot happens there...
4. Somebody to help with a custom boss for Dagaboh (Hope i spelled it right...)
5. Somebody to help with music. (This includes finding the music and looping it well. I will also need somebody to help with editing the .sfx data)

if your interested PM me, and ill PM you back telling you more about what you want to do. I will put credits in the readme, and in the QDB entry once the quest is done. By the way, I am about 1/4 the way done with Tatooine...

Ill keep everyone updated in this thread about the quest.

hm... yeah i forgot about beta testers... well anyways i'm only doing 1 star wars quest and its for A new hope, the empire strikes back, and the return of the jedi, but you could make another one... Yeah you could be a beta tester though.

My best thread creation yet...um,anyway...Zelda Warrior,I can try to help with finding the music.AND I just had a great idea.PLEASE READ THIS!!!! This quest will be hard and long and tedious,but I just thought of a good idea.You know the chat room at PureZC.com? Well,I am going to try to make one of those.It will be strictly for this starwars quest and maybe,if I get requests,for many other group quests.I will post an update in a bit.

alright whatever... anyways... The quest got deleted and i had to start over but i was only at canatine or whatever that tatooine space port is, but i restarted and just finished Lar's home area (again). The quest starts when Lars buys the C-3PO and RD-2D droids, and you are Luke and have to bring them back into the house for maintinince. I have a 2 'cutscenes' here so the player can learn the star wars storyline while playing the quest, and there will be many more cutscenes. I plan this to be a big quest, but I work fast so excpect a public beta in about a week. (Wow, i've never seen anybody with only 30 posts start such a big discussion. 0_o)

Cut scenes? WOOO! Sounds great.

I'm working on some hand drawn tiles, I dont like to rip things, I am mor epartial to a more orginal approach.

Anyway, I'm working on Luke, Leia and The Droids

cool, this is going to be great.

Zeldafanfick youre just a bit too excited...

PLEASE READ THIS!!!! This quest will be hard and long and tedious,but I just thought of a good idea.

and...

I just thought of the COOLEST thing.MAKE A GENERAL GREVOUS TILE!!

not to mention...

If you are making a starwars quest or have ideas for one,then post here!

Anyways, I tried drawing tiles myself and they look hideous, so thnx DJM. (Although I did draw the metal towers thignys at Lar's home area myself.)

Spots for the group quest taken:

1. Tile person (DJM)
2. Music dude (zeldafanfick)
3. beta tester (Dsrpaegnosner)

Alright then, i'm working on the sand dunes right now...

This sounds pretty cool... I would like to see a Star Wars quest out here eventually. If needed, I could help by making a few dungeons for you guys... I'm no good with making Tiles, or Overworlds though. Tell me if you're interested.

(If anyone would like to see my dungeon style, try the 3 in my demo.)

OK Ive got half of lukes animations done, 4 lightsabers, ghost ben, ben, ben igniting saber animation.

Shall i post a couple of samples?

Edit: I've also done some heart containers, and an emporer sprite

wow your pretty good... Hey, would you like to help with an ice cave (its a dungeon) that's on Hoth? It's just a cave covered with ice, I can put the boss in, since its going to be custom.

EDIT: Wow you work fast. Yes, please post them. Also, does ben have animations? Right, now, i have been making the quest with the regular zelda tiles, but i will replace them with the star wars tiles. Also, if you havent already done so, please make tiles with the pure tileset.

Right, Ive made no overworld tiles, but have been using the gameboy tileset which is pretty simmilar for people.

Some: of the sprites I have based on current simmilar looking sprites, apart form ben, whom was done completely from stractch.

Will post soon..

alright, i dont mean overworlsd tiles i do not want overworld tiles for the most part. Just people, weapons, ships, planets, etc.

EDIT: If you've ben using the gameboy tileset i will need to recolor them, thats why i want you to make them in the pure tileset because thats what im using

GO LUKE! With ben and palpatine variations, im nto happy with palps and will extensively change him, and i also do not know how to get rid of ther pink backgrounds. Ben is also in slighty wrong colours in this pic, take no notice.

Meh, thats not problem, most of my colours are shit anyway, lukes too blonde.

Zelda_Warrior wrote:dont worry about the pink stuff i will put them on layers to get rid of it. thnx.

They look ok though?

yes they are excepitinal, much better than i can do. thnx. I'll replace the tiles with the ones i have, finish up the sand dunes, and release you a beta to see how im doing. Also, dont double post. 😊

My mistake, you specified in the pm planets and the deathstar, what size you want them?

What size xwing? I could do it in proportion to lukes sprite.

The X-wing needs to be 2 tiles long and 1 tiles wide, and there needs to be another x-wing that's only 1 tile big. The planets need to be 4 tiles big, and the death star should have a far off veiw thats 1 tile big and a close up veiw thats 4 big, and a VERY clsoe up veiw thats 9 tiles big. Also, when i try to rip the tiels into my quest, they get badly discolored no matter what i savr them as. I cant even tell what they are.

EDIT: Without the tiles, i can go no further.
