Quest won't start.. — Bugs from Old Betas — Armageddon Games Forums Archive

I began whipping together a small quest in the newest beta to test things out, based on a 1.92 tileset ( Mr. Z's Pure Tileset Upgrade ) and the first time I started up the game to test things... nothing happened (after hitting enter to start the quest).

Sometimes the screen sleeps for a bit when I start up a large quest, but those are larger than what I have currently and things start functioning again in a few seconds. However, the screen never unfreezes when I try to play mine (and I've waited a long time), leaving me having to alt+tab and close ZC from the task manager.

I changed a subscreen around a bit, not sure if that had anything to do with why it won't start up. I've looked around the found bugs quite a bit and didn't find mention of this anywhere; if I missed it repoted please feel free to kill me.

You can download the quest here. Sooo sorry for it being rapidshare, but the cpanel on my own site is acting up and I can't upload it anywhere else.

1. The quest number must be 0. Set it in the quest header.

2. Zelda-w might not find the quest in the set directory. Open up "Settings "and "Quest Dir..." and set the directory for your quests there.

3. If still not working, try reinstalling.

1- It's already at 0.

2 and 3- no cigar.

Still doesn't work in 2.5.119.

Yeah, that just plain doesn't work right. Looking into it...

Ah, I see the problem. Check your active, dungeon map subscreen—some of the items have their select attributes set to positions that aren't used. The game tryies to cycle through the items and freezes when it has to switch to one that isn't present.

I'm sure I can stop it from freezing. It'd be preferable to prevent this situation from arising in the first place, but that may be more trouble than it's worth.
