Oh, great! It was really weird. I was streaming, and it was my miniboss. So, the player was stuck in the room as it went off screen. It did it like 3 times! It was taunting me.

[Shane]

Yeah it was freaking watching Jared on stream as Moldroms went off screen.

Anyways I downloaded RC3 the other day!

It appears that when checking / setting a screen's D array with a global script it treats it sets /checks EVERY screen. Is this a feature or a bug.

Also it seems if a script sets an FFC's combo it won't cycle...

Edit: OK it looks like FFCs don't cycle AT ALL now. What's the deal with that?

If you're referring to what I'm thinking of... If something is in the global script and is in a continuous loop, it'll be active on every single screen that Link goes to unless you manually specify it not to in the script.

Working fine for me... You're not setting it repeatedly in a script, are you?

OK, turns out I was just being really stupid and forgot to go into preview mode.

The ffc that isn't cycling does have its combo set by a script, but only once...

Edit: And I played the quest again and everything spontaneously worked again. ZQuest hates me.

Hi guys,
I downloaded rc3 and gave it a look around.
It's crashing when going in to tiles or into the combo pages.
It does it, then not, then does then doesn't, can't narrow anything down as to why.
This is with my tileset, not the one that comes with it.

Last month I cancelled my web page server contract so I have no way to upload a copy of my quest so you are on your own figuring this one out, also if anyone wants my quests you better grab them before that site goes down, once it's gone it's gone.
I don't have any plans of getting back in to all of this, I was just playing around to see what's changed.
The crash is a bad one, it must be effecting others as well.

Well, you could always try uploading it through Mediafire or Dropbox. I'm sure they'd work pretty well if you need somewhere to store a quest file for the devs to look at.

[Saffith]

Which quest/tileset is this happening in? And you're using the small mode interface, right?

[Freedom]

Rambly, I know, but I don't want to.

Saf,
Small mode?
I'm using full screen, that's the only thing I changed from the way it comes bundled.
I don't use the launcher, I just do it the old school way.
The tileset I'm using has never been uploaded to the net, it is a stripped out version of the set I made SwanSong Genesis in, so it might also crash in that version too, don't know.

I noticed that if I open the tile page in the tileset that comes with zquest it is several pages down, and if I scroll that back to the top and close it before opening mine, so far it has worked like that twice now.
If I don't do that there is about an 80% chance it will crash
I don't know if that is related.

If you absolutely need this quest file to figure it out, PM me an email address and I'll send it to you.

I might; I'm not seeing any potential problems so far. Can you reproduce it in another tileset?

[Freedom]

I haven't tried any other tile set, I downloaded this version and slapped the tileset I was last working on in it, it was last in the 1204.

Not really interested in getting back in to all of this to be honest, Elise is gone and I was doing it for her.

I just thought I'd look and see how far you guys had come since I last messed with it, is all.

It seems to work if I open the tileset that comes with it and scroll it to the top and then open the combo page, and then go and open my tileset, I know that sounds weird, but it seems to work then.

Hi!

I've had the same thing happen to me that happen to Freedom. I'm using the classic tiles and was using zquest in full screen. It would be all right for awhile then when I would right click on a tile and select "Open Tile Page" or "Open Combo Page" it would crash. Now I'm using it in small mode and haven't had any problems with it doing that so far. I rather use the full screen it is better to see what I'm doing. But if using it in full screen is crashing it I will keep using the small mode.

EDIT: I just had a thought I was trying to open a tile page or combo page that has 8 bit tiles on them. I don't know if that matters.

I think it probably does (and if that's the case, fullscreen shouldn't make a difference). Valgrind caught something that looks like it's related to tile color depth, but now I'm having trouble reproducing it...

I went to go see if I could reproduce it again myself so I could send you a error report. But I couldn't reproduce it again. Don't you know when you what it to crash it doesn't. And when you don't want it to crash it does.

I could work making my quest for a couple of hours or more before it would do it though. That is why I thought it was just my computer. I would reboot and open zquest and the right click opening a tile page would work again without crashing.

Thanks!
