I didn't say it was going to be easy, planning a route that'll fulfill all the grading requirements for a 'perfect' 100% run is going to take some time and effort. It is doable, but tough.

My best score is terrible. Definitely more than 10 deaths, but that's normal for me.

[DarkFlameWolf]

you should try LP'ing another one of my quests you haven't done yet Eppy!

[Eppy]

It's on my todo list. I just have to finish other series I'm doing which I'll resume after Christmas

How the hell do you get this game to run in fullscreen with this build, it's getting very annoying. It attempts to go fullscreen, then just goes windowed. Very small windowed. Unplayable at this point.

Edit: Using windows XP

Have you tried using the 'zlaunch-w.exe' in the Lost Isle folder to change the settings? You change the settings then click on 'Launch ZC.'

It never came with zclaunch.exe. lol


It came with zcl.ini and zlaunch-w.exe.manifest

Download a 2.5 build and use the zlaunch-w.exe from there.

Sorry! I forgot that didn't have one. You can also use the one that is in 2.10.2. That is want I did. But one from a 2.5 build would work also.

Well that would of been helpful to know beforehand. They should of added it in the download.

Anyway, found a graphic bug. The cut scene right before the graveyard shortly into the game, you can quickly cut the bush(s) north of you which will show a black square. Aka the blank tile that shows with no set under combo. I also think it was very stupid to keep Z3 movement out.

[DarkFlameWolf]

Well, everyone has their own opinion and tastes. Peteo did pretty much every cutscene, so that undercombo bug would most likely be his doing! ha ha
As for adding the launcher in with the download, I believe the launcher was still relatively new at the time of release and we were working with a unique build that was made specifically for the quest. So we weren't really sure to include it, so we left it out. Apologies.
As for Z3 movement, we felt it awkward and didn't truly mimic Z3 movement and actually make the quest unwieldy to play, but that was our opinion. So we decided not to use it.

I was going for a 0 death run until I ran into that room with the insta kill spikes. That's not the type of rooms you have in a level one! This quest was fun at first, but then it started going up hill from there. You should keep fun as the main focus when making a quest, not how easy you can make the player suffer. I wont go give it a bad rating though, I will simply move on to something else.

Final thoughts: The GFX were nice, and some of the puzzles were interesting. That's about it though!

Didn't check but didn't DarkFlameWolf updated Lost Isle and Origins to RC3?

[Russ]

Yes, she did, but she forgot to update the descriptions to reflect that, which is kinda an oversight... Another thing, while I'm pretty sure Origin should run fine upgraded to RC3, I wanna say I remember somebody talking about how changes to ZScript broke certain scripts used in LI... but we'll see, I suppose. In the meantime, yeah, DFW, you oughta edit the descriptions to say the LI build won't work with the most recent versions.
