Added Lttp-style Map Display script by MoscowModder

now to make more mini-icons for the map.

Today I moved some of my new tiles to a new tileset. Still working on it.

I played a joke quest today. Despite not being able to beat it, it was an enjoyable experience, and that's what counts the most, right?

JR. I didn't know you were into building quests. :o

Slowly getting their with my active! This is what the subscreen should look like once you get a sword at the beginning of the quest. Note no other items have been implemented yet because the guy writing this post is lazy, but more truthfully, feeling tired as of this writing. But he's lazy too.

I've sofar done 5&1/2 more screens on my starting floor of dungeon 3... though I may have to end up changing how they are due to it beginning to look a bit schizophrenic as the area styles changed a bit... nothing extremely major, just goes from solid flooring to more floating stone bridge style floors. However I may be able to make it work when I design my bottom floor, depending how it will progress. Still, any progress made is progress towards releasing this damn demo for people to get a taste of this quest

I was bored and made a thing. Not sure I'll ever use it in a quest but it exists now. Yes that sword is doing 510 damage.

Today I worked more on my tileset. Not much is new yet, though.

Shane, I kept my promise to you:

 

Spoiler

 

Probably going to make that a bit more serious later on. Regardless, figured I would take advantage of the Teachings of Moosh (who was responsible for teaching me how to remove the flashing from sword beams and I evolved that idea into a video I'm going to link) and make that an 8-bit color tile so I had a legitimate green cactus WITHOUT having the sand be green too.

 

Anyway! Onto a list of changes to Link's Blade Crusade. Note that the version for the Expo is the exact same as it was the day the Expo started. I won't update the quest file on there UNLESS someone finds a game breaking bug.

• As per Kurt's suggestion, I made it so the Candle can now damage Link to make it less attractive of a weapon.
• Level 1 now has a check before fighting the boss to ensure you have the Candle.
• The old man's garbage hint has been changed to a much more helpful hint.
• The number of blocks in the Wallmaster room has been reduced.
• Removed the blocks from in front of the doors in the boss room, but made it a little bit more cramped to compensate.
• Added a little bit more detail into the desert area, adding cacti (and a special one just for Shane!). I will be adding some more detail along the coast later.

 

Also, a couple Adam's Quest II update videos without sound. Mostly showing a few things off. These are from a while back, but I haven't gotten around to showing them off until now. Oh, and I should mention I upgraded the Sword Beams in AQII now to do full sword damage instead of half. Actually, after re-watching the first video, it makes me really miss Gauntlet Legends on the N64.

As we speak, I'm importing more sprites from other games into both Adam's Quest II AND Link's Blade Crusade.

Really nice stuff going on there Adam! And I do love that one spoiler, it deserves 10/10

 

Also, nice work on the updates, I'm sure that will make people not screw up on Level 1 like I and a few others did. As for the videos, that's some pretty neat stuff. Getting me a bit more hyped for AQII lol

"It looks kinda funny how Rose just kinda floats behind Link when he's crossing pits," I told myself. "Wouldn't it be cool if he grabbed her arm and carried her across them with him? It shouldn't be too hard to script."

Instead, I had to rescript massive chunks of the follower and magnet shot scripts, and I found out that ZC can magically set certain variables to exponential powers of 2 because it feels like it. Sometimes I ask myself why I still use ZC, since it obviously doesn't want me to use it.

AHAHAHAHAHA I FINALLY RELEASED THAT DEMO.

 

Last night and today I worked like crazy to add missing caves, secrets, strings, and whatnot, and also do a lot of testing.

 

It wasn't enough testing. The first person who played the demo reported a bunch of dumb bugs. Ha ha ha.

 

The moral of the story is, you can never test enough. No matter how much you test, it's not enough. This is true x100000 with the script-saturated mess that is Solaris.

 

Anyway, demo is out. I'm telling people to play it.

 

@Russ: Setting variables to powers of 2 at random? That's even more beautiful than the bug where ZC says an item's MaxIncrement value is always 1 when it's supposed to be 30.

[Binx]

Got some of screens done for what I hope will be the hardest map to recreate in the new tileset. Ported over the enemies from the old version and started on recreating the custom items.

and I learned how to use scripted enemies!

New doors for this quest.
