Can I get some help with setting up item rooms in 2.5? I'm following Bikdip's Youtube tutorials (yeah, they're outdated, but I thought the fundamentals would be the same.) but instead of everything appearing on screen 80, it appears on the screen where the warp to the cave should be.

I assume you want the item in the actual room?

making my own graphics. how many would I need total, if I do not go over board.

the set up so everything fits right.
the formatting. how to I make sure the formatting fits?(with size and layout of a sprite sheet and so on)

not sure what you're asking here.

[LikeLike on fire]

a lot of things involving making my own sets.

sprites, drawing tiles. I don't understand the issue of palets. do I edit/draw this in graphics gale? or can I use gimp?


the tiles are 16x16 pixels. what else do I need to know?


I am having difficulty explaining what I want, and why it is hindering me.

[Rocksfan13]

I've seen people use these to create tiles in the past, however, I am unfamiliar with how they work or how they get imported to ZC.

Pallets can be tricky when it concerns ZC. Usually you can import those as well.
Another spriter may be able to answer this.

I usually build my sprites within ZC.

I would like to request a simple tutorial that shows how to go from totally nothing, to making 2 over world screens and a simple 3 or 4 room dungeon (level entrance, item room, boss, triforce chamber/exit). One over world screen for the starting point, the other for the level entrance.
Tutorial should be geared towards someone who has never touched zquest before, and focus on zquest 2.50.

There's a good basic tutorial I've been using by LinktheMaster and Nick, but it isn't complete yet. Here's the link if you want to check it out: http://www.purezc.co...showtopic=54851 They've got a chapter on dungeons, but it's still a work in progress. Still pretty helpful though, and I'm sure they'll be adding more in the future.

So, I recently downloaded ZC 2.50. It's been a long time since I've used ZQuest, so I need a bit of a refresher course. Mostly I can do that by experimenting. However, it'd be nice if there was a bit more documentation about some of the options I have in the program.

I'd like to request a tutorial that provides an explanation for all quest rules. Most of these rules are not at all descriptive, and the documentation in the built-in help file is outdated. A reference like this would be extremely useful for both new quest designers learning the program as well as advanced users who can't recall the meaning of a rule or two. If you're feeling extra ambitious, an overview of all options in all menus would be invaluable. While a dry list like this might not be a great way to learn the program from the ground up, it would be nice aid for those people who know the program but want to learn more.

While it's not entirely what you were looking for (it doesn't explain much of the brand new stuff and doesn't explain the quest rules in any sort of detail), I made a topic to act as a reference for people new to 2.50 that have used 1.92 and 2.10 before. It was last updated during RC3, but the interface didn't change much between RC3 and the final release.

Here is an ideathat I've been fooling around with. Create a new drop set with a heart container as a 100% drop. Then set it to your boss enemies, then you can set the quest item to drop from ceiling. ALttP style.

Can't you already do that with an item, by simply checking "item falls from ceiling" in the screen data menu? enemies>item will still hide the item, and "item falls from ceiling" should still trigger after.

It does. By making it a drop set the Heart container drops from where the boss died and the triforce or other item can drop from the ceiling in the same room

I'd still say use the multiple item script for this instead so you don't have to edit your boss enemies to drop heart containers. You may want to use them later without giving the player an H container as the drop. Like the level 1 armos boss in LTTP, who also appears in Ganons tower with no H container dropset. You'd have to create multiple enemies and edit drop sets otherwise to do that.

[beneficial]

I didn't know that there was a multiple items script

Here you are.

So I have a question about posting tutorials.

 

Let's say I wanted to make a full fledged tutorial on ZQuest, are those kinds of topics allowed here? (I only ask because I don't see any topics like that on this section of the forums, except maybe LTM's or Nick's tutorial.)
