I read before posting... But I need help.

I suggest two steps:
1) http://www.ermock.com/zeldaclassic/zc190sr1.exe
Download the 1.90 version and copy 1st.qst into your directory.
2)If that fails, try using 2.11

I had a problem with 1.90. It said that, "The system", did not support full screen mode, and it only gave me the option to close it out. Even if there is an option to do a non-full screen mode, I'de still like to have it work in full screen mode as well.

Could you give me a link with version 2.11? I couldn't find the file at Zelda Classics or the Ermock website.

Thanks so far!

Here you go: http://www.shardstorm.com/zc/alphas/901-windows.zip

All right, thanks for the links. The 902-windows one worked. I'm guessing that this is the 2.11 one? Hmm... Well, it let me load the game, and use full screen and everything, but the color problem still remains. I can't alternate the colors, for example, to make the GREEN trees to brown. I pressed the numbers, and I tried pressing the, "Fn", button as well. Is there any other way to get the job done? Perhaps a manual way? Thanks for the help.

I don't have a laptop myself, but I think you need to hold the "Fn" button while pressing '+' or '-' on your Keypad (it should be around your UIO keys). I don't know of any other way to change CSets.

I tried that, too. It didn't work. 😞

Dang, there's no way to put an attached image on a post that I can see.
On the bottom center box of the ZQuest screen, look at the very bottom right-hand portion, where it tells you your CSet. For example, it says "CSet 1". Just click that(not the arrow thing), click the text. It's cumbersome, but better than nothing.

Ah cool! It works, and it's not cumbersome at all. At least with the version I'm using. Thanks a lot. 😊

Now... To plague you all with more questions while I'm at it...

How do I import graphics? :\ The only option I can see is to open up the file, thus deleting everything I've made on my map... Can't I just add the tiles/graphics to the current one? :\

File -> Import -> Tiles/Graphics Pack (or whatever else you want to import)

Go to www.purezc.com and download a new tileset to start in.

If you want to rip in new graphics, Quest->Graphics->Tiles, then press the grab button.
I could spend half an hour explaining how best and how best not to use the grab tool, but seeing as I'm lazy I don't really want to.

Have a go working it out yourself and if you get stuck I'm sure me or someone else'll give you a hand.

CaRmAgE wrote:File -> Import -> Tiles/Graphics Pack (or whatever else you want to import)

I did that, but the file wasn't showing up, as if it's the wrong type of file...

I downloaded the tileset called, "PureTileset.qb1", and the other is a qst.

Hmm, I opened up a PureTileset file, and tried to rip out some tiles and place them in my current one, but after selecting what I wanted, the tile still remained as a blank red square... Don't know why it's doing that...

:banghead:

And another thing I'm really having a problem with, is items... When I add an item to my screen, it doesn't let me put it where I want to put it... Instead it puts it in the top-left corner, and I can't move it. :\

Maetora wrote:I downloaded the tileset called, "PureTileset.qb1", and the other is a qst.

Ah, that helps. That's a quest backup file. If you want to get the tiles from the file, open it as you would with other quest files, and go to File -> Export -> Tiles Save it as "PureTileset.til" (or whatever name you want), then open your quest and import the tiles. There's probably other ways of doing it too, but I haven't used Zquest in a long time, so this is probably as much as I can help with this question. Sorry if this doesn't solve your problem.

On the main screen, press Page Up or Page Down until you see this toolbar at the bottom:

[image removed]

Click on the image with the rupee (first on the left), then click on the screen where you want to place the item.

Again, thanks for all the help. I just get lost when reading tutorials, and this is really the only way sometimes I can do these sort of things. :\

I got the color to work, the items, the moving from maps, etc. And figured out how to do the shop, too. I think I can take it from here, at least for awhile. I assume that it will get tough when I want to try and make the game look more modern? Or do most of the same rules apply? :\

Just start again in the PureTileset.qst file.
Trying to rip pure graphics into Z1 is a very bad idea.

Yeah, but the graphics given in PureTileset.qst is quite limited. I'de like to add as much tilesets to one panel of graphics, so that I have many options to choose from.

I have another question if anyone wants to answer it, then I'de appreciate it.

It's about bombable walls...

Tools > Combo Flags > 6 Bomb Trigger (Any) > Choose tile to bomb? > Then what?

What I want to do is bomb the wall, and have a Heart Piece underneath. I'm not sure how to do that, and also, if I bomb the wall, will the Heart Piece keep coming back every time I bomb that wall? Because I don't want that.

Thanks in advance!

Hmm, right on top of the bombable wall put some more wall combos on Layer1 with the "Bomb" Flag on them, and place your screen item underneath. I'm pretty sure Layer 1 is drawn over items.

I went to layer screen, but I don't know what to do with it. :\

I also can't figure out to have a staircase after bombing the wall, so that the staircase takes me to another room...

Screen -> Secret Combos -> Bomb tab -> Bomb

Click the black box next to Bomb, and select the combo for your staircase. Make sure the combo you select is of type "Stairs" or any other warp type you want.

Ohh, duh... Thanks again. 😊

It worked, but it didn't make the stair walk down animation with the sound effects. :\

Oh, are you referring to a cave entrance? You would have to use the combo type "Cave" to do that.

CaRmAgE wrote:Oh, are you referring to a cave entrance? You would have to use the combo type "Cave" to do that.

Yeah, I'de like to figure out how to have items be under bombable things, too, though. :\

I'm having a problem figuring out something else, too. Surprising, eh? How do I make the Rupee limit 99? That way I can have wallets and stuff.

Maetora wrote:I'm having a problem figuring out something else, too. Surprising, eh? How do I make the Rupee limit 99? That way I can have wallets and stuff.

Starting with a 99 Rupee limit:

Quest -> Init Data -> Misc tab

Near the bottom left, you should see a text field named "Rupees." To the very right of that is a field called "Max." Change the value in there to 99.

Changing the limit size of the wallet:

Now, Zelda Classic has wallets to begin with, but I'm assuming you don't want the player's rupee limit to jump from 99 to 500. Let's change that, too.

Quest -> Items -> Wallet # -> Pickup tab

I think you have to change the "Full Max" and "+Max" fields; I'm not entirely certain. This is a new interface to me, so you can either experiment, or wait for another response.

Yep! It worked. Thanks again. 😊

(Please don't consider this a double-post. I didn't ask a question in my last post, and editing the post doesn't notify subscriptions.)

Anyway, on to another question for my question marathon... I thought this one would be easy to figure out, but... Well, yeah. I wanted an intro title for like if you go to a dungeon, then it would say, "Level 1", etc. Or the overworld would say, "Hyrule", etc.

I went to DMap and then typed in my overworld name in the section, "DMap Intro", but when I tested the game, nothing happened. I guess that's not how you work that, huh?

Correct. I think it's on another tab of the DMap. I'll check after I'm done my 8am final.

EDIT: Dang it, that was the longest final of my life. Anyways...

Come to think of it, you did enter it in the correct field. Not quite sure how to answer this one. Anyone else know how this works?

Hmm... It's working now. But it's weird, because first it didn't, and I saved it, too. Oh well. Is there a way to change the font/graphics of the words that come upon intro? And the color, too. Because when the title appears, it's in small white letters, and sometimes it's hard to see because it can conflict with the background.

Now I'm having a real problem with the magic system. I looked up on some tutorials, but nothing is working.

I start with no magic. I start with 3 hearts, but no magic.

I went to Quest > Init Data > Misc:

And then I changed the magic from 0 to 3 and then the max magic from 0 to 32. I saved my work, and then tested it out, but nothing happened. I thought maybe it was just the graphics of the magic meter not working, so I put a candle on the first screen just to test it out. I got the candle, and then it still didn't let me use it, because I have no magic, apparently.

And yes, of 'course, I checked the, "Enable Magic", option in the rules.

Any ideas? :\

>_< Extra Question: When I for example burn away a bush, how come it triggers my bombable wall at the same time?

Go to the Sprites menu. Under Weapons/Misc., select the first tile for the magic meter.
As for the bush triggering the bomb flag, you can only have one or the other on a screen at a time.

Okay. Well for now, I don't think I'm going to have magic in my first game anyway. Hmm, but since I won't have magic... How do I take away the part that says, "Magic", on the subscreen? This quest also involves no Triforce pieces, so how do I take away that as well? Hmm...

I'm having problems with the Bow and Arrows, too. I have the Rule checked to, "True Arrows", so that I can pick up ammunition and use it instead of Rupees, but whenever I get arrow ammunition, the arrow count doesn't go up, and it doesn't let me use my Bow. It's just the regular Bow, not the Long Bow. I don't know what the difference is anyway. What's with the silver and golden arrows?
