What was the error? Did it compile fine on another version?

It wasn't an error. The compiler broke at pass 5 (Where it says Generating Object Code) and hung ZQuest. It does this every time I try to compile.

Could you show me the script?

There was no script yet. I was testing a header file I'm working on to see if it worked. It didn't. I fixed the errors. It reached pass 5 and hung. I removed import "cutscene.zh". It hung again.

I don't think the default subscreens have a selectable sword (which is necessary with that quest rule). You'll probably have to edit the subscreen in the subscreen editor to add one if you want to use that quest rule. :shrug:

I did it, I changed the default subscreen and even so the problem continued...

So another oddity - I have a script that spawns items and I have the rule disabled that prevents melee weapons from grabbing items, but I still can't grab them with my sword. Do items spawned by scripts not work with this or is it likely a bug or is there a setting for that?

Items dropped by enemies, on the other hand, I can pick up with my sword.

Just a guess, but script items are probably treated like room items (which can't be melee grabbed) as opposed to enemy drops (which can). No clue about the specifics or a workaround though.

Set Item->Pickup to IP_TIMEOUT.

Aha, so that's what I gotta do. Thanks.

are the lanmolas supposed to drop an item from each section eliminated? that's new to me. is that how they were in the original? I only fought one once, but it gave me a heart item or a rubie item from literally each section. it seemed wrong. aren't they only supposed to drop an item after defeat?

Any help/fixes for the broken script buffer on the mac version?

Yeah, they're wrong. That's been fixed and broken again a couple of times. We're not very good at keeping track, I guess.

I'm working on it. I can see the problem, but I haven't figured out what causes it. I think it might be a compiler issue, but upgrading is rather difficult.

So it seems that slashing (not stabbing) your sword while facing right while being eaten by a likelike-type enemy causes your sword to not hurt the enemy. O_o

Russ has a video demonstrating this; it seems very easy to recreate this bug.

[LinktheMaster]

That was already reported in this thread and has been fixed.

* Fixed the sword sometimes failing to hit Like-Likes from the inside.

[Evan20000]

Oh, well look at me not paying attention!

I'm fairly sure vectors and pretty much trig as a whole are broken in RC4. VectorX and VectorY only give results in quadrant II, but there's seemingly nothing wrong with the functions in std.zh leading me to believe it goes much deeper.

Anyone else able to confirm this?
