Legend of Zelda: Fragmented Land

I would liked to have tried out your quest but since I only have winzip and not winrar I can't. Can you sent me just the qst file?
Thanks in advance,
ms_zelda_lady

I'll post .zip files on my site right now. It will take a few minutes. Let me know if you have any problems.

Thanks for taking the time to change it to a zip file. I'll be downloading it to play later tonight.

Ok, all set, .zip files are on my website now. Enjoy!

Very nice quest. I love the music and the overworld is beautiful. I've found level 2 and 3 but I haven't found level 1. I've already bought the candle, shield and the arrow. Please can you point me in the direction of level 1?
Thanks in advance,
ms_zelda_lady

P.S. I love the way you set it up to get into level 3. Very cool!

Ms_Zelda, I'm glad you like the quest so far. Level 1 will be along the left edge of the overworld, a few screens down from where you spawn at the start of every game. There is an arrow of rocks that points north. Follow the arrow until you come to the entrance. I have a overworld hint map for download on that webpage if you ever get really really stuck, which you will I'm sure!!

Thanks for the help. I'll go back and check it out.

When I open up the game I get a message file not found. Obviously the beta version of 211 is not working. Any suggestions. The files seem to be all there.

Can you play this on 2.10?

Dianne I haven't actually heard of that problem before (maybe its on the help forums?). It may be a bug with the beta but I'm not sure. I used the beta because the BS tileset animations are all screwed up with 2.10. So far, it has worked well for everyone who has played it without any significant bugs. Tell me this, did you download just the game file on its own from my site and play it on your own player or did you download the folder from my site that has the game file, tileset, and zelda-w player? You need to make sure the tileset, game file, and player are in the same folder. Also, check what directory Zelda-w is trying to read to play the game. Is it possible that it is looking in a directory that doesn't have the game file? Let me know if you get it working. If you didn't download the folder with the player and game included from the site, give it a try! If you don't change the name of the folder zelda-w should automatically point to that folder to find the game.

Fajz, no, it won't work with 2.10 because there are animation mistakes with 2.10 and I added a couple things only 2.11 beta can do. It works fine on my comp (windows XP) without any major bugs or glitches. If you are interested in playing just download the first file that includes the 2.11 player and game file. Don't change the folder name and the game should load right up.

When I check the files there isn't one that says tileset. As all I do is play the games and know nothing about how to make them or what should or shouldn't be there, I'm at a loss. Is there a missing file?

Dianne

Dianne, download the folder from the first link on the site that says player and game file (if you have already done it, delete all the old files from my game and try this again). Extract the folder, but whatever you do don't change the folder's name. The folder should say New Beta ZC. In that folder is the quest file the tileset for Zelda BS and the player, it has everything you need to play so you don't need anything else. Now, in the folder, when you open the player and register your name, load the custom quest. The player should automatically browse to the New Beta ZC folder with the quest file that you need (assuming that you didn't change the name of anything). Fragmented Land.qst should be in the list. You should also see 1st.qst and a couple other things. Select fragmented land and everything should work, unless there is some problem between the beta player and your computer. If so, that would be a question for the ZC help forums. I know sometimes peoples comps don't like certain versions of Zelda-W. My friend e-mailed me yesterday and said he had a problem with it saying file not found too, but it was because he had changed the folder name to something else and the player didn't know where to look for the game, it tries to look in the New Beta ZC folder first. Ok, let me know if you can get it to work. I also have directions on my webpage. I'm not sure how familiar you are with Zelda Classic so I apologize if these directions are too basic. Nick

I need help with lv2. Have been all over the level and can't find the boss key. Can you please tell me where it is?
I'm not having any problems, it seems to be working fine.

Crackers, the boss key is hidden in the room with the boss key door. One of the blocks that surround the room can be struck with the boomerang. I tried to make it so that that specific block type (not the normal block type) is a trigger for secrets in alot of the dungeons. Sometimes you need to use your sword, sometimes the arrow, sometimes the boomerang. Also, don't forget to check the website, it has full maps of all the dungeons with the boss key and magic item labeled.

Thanks for the help. I'm going to check out the website right now.

I posted a game update on my website. I made some fairly minor changes, nothing that greatly effects the game, but one change provides a better hint in a crucial area later in the game. Another change effects the text of the guy at the entrance of the black area at the upper right of the overworld map. What he said before didn't make much sense. If you want the update just go to my site and download the quest file. Then replace the quest file you already have. Nick

Thanks for the help but I now think I know what's wrong. When I ask my unzipper to "extract here" it does but when I ask it to "open" it tells me there is and error in the files. Do you have any idea of another site where I can download the 211 b player?

Dianne

Where's the Ladder? I need it to get to Level 3.

Never Mind. Nice hint about fire and bridging water gaps.

a) winrar is completely free and still lets you use it after it expires.
b) it is always best so far to play quests in the same version that they were made in.
c) you shouldnt force people to download the player with the quest... the player should be made as a seperate download so as to reduce file size for thos who already have 2.11 beta 10.

Fajz, the entrance to level 3 doesn't require the ladder or the raft. It requires something else. Level 3 is in the middle of the inland sea. There is a long bridge that extends from the north to the south. But, on the bridge there is a water gap. You have to do something to that water so you can cross. There is an information dealer nearby in a cave that might be able to help you. The item I use for this secret wasn't used like this in past Zelda's but I wanted to make it do something different. Look around, see if you can figure it out. If not, I will tell you what to do.

Franpa, With regards to the downloads on my site. Number 1, I don't force people to download anything 😊 . Number 2, I give the option to download the quest file alone without the player for those out there that have it already. If they don't have the player then they would need it to play my quest anyway so they would need to download both. Number 3, in order to play a BS Zelda game (as you know) you need the exported tileset files to see the BS graphics. If I made a download for the player and the quest seperate it would create more confusion for those folks who don't have the proper tileset (it already happened before when I had it like that). So, the game file download plus player download is more than that, its a single folder that allows someone who doesn't know much about Zelda Classic to download it, open it, and imediately begin playing with the nice BS tileset already included. If anyone out there is interested in getting just the beta player to play other people's quests I will go back online and find the location where I got the player. I think I googled it before. But I don't want to add it to my site.

Dianne, I am so sorry that you are having all this trouble but I'm glad you are trying so hard to play my game! Do you want me to give you the files in another format perhaps? Maybe in an unzipped format? It would take longer to download but if there was some problem with your unzipping program then at least that might help. Here is a site to get 2.11 beta 10, but it is also an archive file. This is where I got it from so the file is essentially the same as the one on my site.

Not sure if it will do anything. One more question, when you extract the files you should get one folder named New Beta ZC. Do you see that folder when you are extracting? All the files should be in just that one folder. Also, I use Winrar to extract all my .zip and .rar files. Its a great program and its free. If you want to download it, here is the site. This might fix your problem. Nick

Where is the bait for lv5. I got everything else and got as far as the boss door. From what I can tell on the map, I've been to all the rooms. Now I'll have to go through again.

Is anyone else having problems with the file not found thing described by Dianne?

Crackers, ah yes, the bait. Sorry about that one. I know its a crappy move on my part to put it right before the boss but I thought level 5 was a little too easy. The bait is in a store on the overworld map. Go to the southern desert. You'll see a bomb cave blocked by two posts. Hit the posts with the white sword and enter the cave. I think its like 100 or 120 rupees.

Thanks, going to go buy some bait. I didn't think lv5 was so easy, but not hard either. How come the small wallet doesn't show up or the boss key when you get it? What other item won't show up if you buy them?

Crackers, I don't actually know how to make extra items that weren't in the original zelda show up in the menu screen. If someone could teach me that, that would be great! Those are the only two items that don't show up though I believe. At least with the wallet the rupees tell you that it is there. Congrats on level 5. Level 6, 7, and 8 get much harder! I would recommend finding the reflect shield soon, hint hint.

I finished lv5 and have been hunting all over for 6. Finally went to the web site and now just don't know how to get in. Guess I have to go back and see what it is I missed.
