Wow... again
People are going to stop helping you if you don't cut back on these images in your posts and sig that take forever to load.
Nobody wants to set through all that just to answer your questions.

I uploaded Alphadawgs tutorial to help folks with the basics, you can find it here,

To get him set in the triforce, place the green and blue position squares there.

side note,
after all the time it took to put this post together your filelodge image has still not loaded.

You have to set the level palette your screen is using in the dmap that warps you to that screen

Ahhhh ok thank you very very much 😊. one more question is it possible to get those stairs to work like in LttP?

Pineconn 01 Jul 2006, 21:13

In which Link will actually follow the staircase's bend? Unfortunately not. Heh, you could do it with combo cycling if you really want to, but it's not worth it.

Stack dump?

If that's it you probably have some spyware in there you need to clean up, from sites dumping cookies on you.
I use adaware, spybot, and AVG anti-virus, they're all free, and I've never had a stack dump since I started using them.

If it's not that, maybe you have some other program running?

and my subscreen wtf is up with it? I want the LttP style but how do I make it work? it looks all jacked up.

You've got a bad tileset, how or why there's no way of telling.
It looks like you're trying to use one that was built in a different version and it scrambled the tiles when you imported or opened it.
Fixing it probably means deleting it.

Freedom 02 Jul 2006, 02:13

I bet you are using 2.11b10 instead of 2.11b10b.
There was some strange thing going on in the b10 that corrupted quests, that was fixed in the 10b.
Go to the thread you got the 10 in and upgrade to the 10b, it's just grabbing the new zquest-w.exe and zelda-w.exe and overwriting the two you have, the rest of the support files are ok.
Your tileset is probably still corrupted though.

To make it windowed, right-click the ZC shortcut and select Properties. Go to Shortcut. In the Target box, make it look like this:

Where you see "-fullscreen" use "-windowed" instead. That'll make it small.

To make treasure chests, place the treasure chest combo (with a combo type of "Slash"😉 on the screen. Place a #10 Armos (->Item) flag on it, make the undercombo as the opened chest combo. As Room Type, make it Special Item (and select whatever item you want). However, the more preferred way in 2.11 is to use the Treasure Chest combo. I'm not completely sure if I'm right about this, so Freedom, feel free to correct me. Place the treasure chest combo (with a combo type of "Treasure Chest"😉. The next combo to the right of it on the list should be the opened chest. Select Room Type as Sp. Item and your item. I believe that's it... But again, I'm not 100% sure.

EDIT: Oh, and the thing with the screwed up tileset... Maybe it's an old or incomplete tileset? Pure is a much better tileset to use (in my opinion).

(Shadow) 02 Jul 2006, 03:04

These are LttP Tiles Correct?

ok I downloaded the PURE one but How do I use it? its just a quest file..

Pineconn 02 Jul 2006, 03:11

Generally Pure is a LttP tileset. Generally. I believe PTUX has nearly every LttP tile. So if you truly want to use only LttP tiles, go for PTUX. The regular Pure and PTU has mostly LttP with a very few that are not. (Or you could always use the LttP tileset... :tongue: )

Really. Using an 800x600 moniter display with dial-up, the images are huge and take several seconds to load.

yes, thank you thank you thank you.
Taking forever to load and turning the thread into a side scroller.
big ugly nasty smelly screenshots. 😉

Just open the quest file and start building. 😉

Nicholas Steel 02 Jul 2006, 03:29

could you edit your earlier messages and change the images to url's that point to the image? if this is done then i will hopefully shuttup about it.

Ah yes, there's another one. No one likes having to scroll the page horizontally to read the messages.

:lol: That's a good way to put it. :lol: (EDIT: God that smiley looks stupid. 🙄 )

(Shadow) wrote:so back to the question how can I use the tilesets? >_>

Huh? Is it a .zgp? Open a quest, go to File -> Import -> Graphics Pack. Load it. Is it a .qst? Just open it!

(Shadow) 02 Jul 2006, 03:33

they arent zgp for me they are .qst >_< but if I just open it.. then how the hell do I use it.. o_o;;

edit:never mind im such an idiot -_-

But How do I get to the dungeon sets all i see is overworld.
