With the help of Lejes, I was able to get the Big Stalfos script to work. I've also submitted tiles for it, the Big Gibdo and some other Zelda and Metroid enemies that I've ripped from Spriter's Resource.

 

Here's the Big Stalfos.

 

Big Stalfos

//Big Stalfos by ywkls
//Creates a large Stalfos that fires a large projectile.
//When its HP drops low enough, it collapses into a pile of bones.
//If not hit with a bomb or super bomb fast enough, it revives to full health.
//Version Final
//9-6-15

const int WAVE_SPRITE = 101;//Sprite for wave of energy sent out by the sword.
//Designed to be two tiles tall. Create a separate sprite for the animation when throwing the sprite to the right and have it be the next sprite in the list.

ffc script Big_Stalfos{
      void run(int enemyID){
          npc n = Ghost_InitAutoGhost(this, enemyID);

I'm working on the Wood Warden, but at the moment I've hit a snag so I may hold off on it until I get some of the others I have planned done.

[ywkls]

Scripted and submitted the Wood Warden. This is probably one of my most complicated scripts to date. The only part I wasn't able to get to work properly was to keep it immobile until you get near. Maybe later I'll be able to add that feature in.

 

I feel as if I am on a roll now... 

 

To anyone with interest in seeing new enemy ideas come to life; please feel free to make suggestions. I can always utilize fresh thoughts on these matters.

Here's a new one, a larger than normal Lynel. I adjusted the tiles I submitted to include the graphics I'm using for this.

 

Big Lynel

//Big Lynel by ywkls
//Creates a big lynel that is 2 x 3 when up or down and 3 x 2 when left or right.
//Version 1.0

ffc script Big_Lynel{
	void run(int enemyID){
		npc ghost = Ghost_InitAutoGhost(this, enemyID);
		int combo = ghost->Attributes[10];
		int turncombo;
		float counter = -1;
		Ghost_X = 100;
		Ghost_Y = 50;
		eweapon sword;
                //Handles firing the projectile.
		int timer = Choose(90,120,150,180);
		while(true){
                        //Alter tile width and height based on the direction it is facing.
			if(ghost->Dir == DIR_LEFT || ghost->Dir== DIR_RIGHT){
				Ghost_TileWidth = 3;
				Ghost_TileHeight = 2;
			}
			else{
				Ghost_TileWidth = 2;
				Ghost_TileHeight = 3;
			}
                        //Alter combo based on the direction it is facing.
			if(ghost->Dir == DIR_UP){
				turncombo = combo;
				Ghost_SetHitOffsets(ghost, 1,11,0,0);
			}
			else if(ghost->Dir == DIR_DOWN){
				turncombo = combo+1;
				Ghost_SetHitOffsets(ghost,9,10,0,0);
			}
			else if(ghost->Dir == DIR_LEFT){
				turncombo = combo+2;
				Ghost_SetHitOffsets(ghost,0,3,4,1);
			}
			else if(ghost->Dir == DIR_RIGHT){
				turncombo = combo+3;
				Ghost_SetHitOffsets(ghost,1,0,2,5);
			}
                        //Hanldes firing the projectile.
			if(timer<=0){
				sword = FireNonAngularEWeapon(ghost->Weapon, Ghost_X, Ghost_Y, Ghost_Dir, 100, ghost->WeaponDamage, -1, -1, EWF_ROTATE); //Fire the EWeapon
				SetEWeaponLifespan(sword,EWL_TIMER, 120); 
				SetEWeaponMovement(sword, EWM_HOMING, DegtoRad(3), 120);
				SetEWeaponDeathEffect(sword,EWD_VANISH, 0);
				timer = Choose(90,120,150,180);
			}
			timer--;
			counter = Ghost_HaltingWalk4(counter, ghost->Step, ghost->Rate, ghost->Homing, 2, ghost->Haltrate, 45); //Move the Lynel
			Ghost_Data = turncombo;
			Gen_Explode_Waitframe(this,ghost);
		}
    }
}

 

I still haven't gotten any good ideas for the Horsehead, Daira or Lizalfos. While I could just make them rather simple foes; I don't know if I want to.

[ywkls]

Here' s a  big Moblin, inspired by these sprites.

 

Big Moblin 1.0

ffc script Big_Moblin{
	void run(int enemyID){
		npc ghost = Ghost_InitAutoGhost(this, enemyID);
		Ghost_X = 50;
		Ghost_Y = 50;

		int turncombo;
		float counter = -1;
		int timer = Choose(90,120,150,180);
		eweapon spear;
		while(true){
			if(ghost->Dir == DIR_LEFT || ghost->Dir== DIR_RIGHT){
				Ghost_TileWidth = 3;
				Ghost_TileHeight = 2;
			}
			else{
				Ghost_TileWidth = 2;
				Ghost_TileHeight = 3;
			}
			if(ghost->Dir == DIR_UP){
				turncombo = combo;
				Ghost_SetHitOffsets(ghost, 8,8,5,1);
			}
			else if(ghost->Dir == DIR_DOWN){
				turncombo = combo+1;
				Ghost_SetHitOffsets(ghost,6,18,2,4);
			}
			else if(ghost->Dir == DIR_LEFT){
				turncombo = combo+2;
				Ghost_SetHitOffsets(ghost,2,1,9,14);
			}
			else if(ghost->Dir == DIR_RIGHT){
				turncombo = combo+3;
				Ghost_SetHitOffsets(ghost,2,1,14,9);
			}
			if(timer<=0){
				spear = FireAimedEWeapon(ghost->Weapon, Ghost_X, Ghost_Y, Ghost_Dir, 100, ghost->WeaponDamage, -1, -1, EWF_ROTATE); //Fire the EWeapon
				SetEWeaponLifespan(spear,EWL_TIMER, 120); 
				SetEWeaponDeathEffect(spear,EWD_VANISH, 0);
				timer = Choose(90,120,150,180);
			}
			timer--;
			counter = Ghost_HaltingWalk4(counter, ghost->Step, ghost->Rate, ghost->Homing, 2, ghost->Haltrate, 45); //Move the Lynel
			Ghost_Data = turncombo;
			Gen_Explode_Waitframe(this,ghost);
		}
    }
}

 

I think I may put him where the Big Lynel is now in my quest and maybe add a few more projectiles to his attack so he's a bit harder, since right now he's pretty easy.

[ywkls]

Here's a significantly enhanced version of the Big Moblin, who stops in place; becomes invulnerable and spins about while firing projectiles in four directions.

For the mini-bosses I still need, here's a list of the areas they'll be in- fiery, icy and time-related.

 

A new idea for a boss to try came to me last night. It will be a giant turtle which is only vulnerable to super bombs at the start, though they don't hurt it. Once hit by one, its appearance will change to being on its back and it can be hit with the sword. After a few seconds, it will flip back over; then carom off the walls for a few seconds at high speed and be invulnerable while doing so. Then it will revert back to the first phase and you have to start the process over.

And here's the first draft of the Giant Turtle. (In my game, I'm calling him Morla.) The only graphics I was able to find for him that I liked were from Super Metroid, so I don't have sprites for him moving up or down. (In fact, the only sprites I like are the ones for when he's closed up in his shell and bouncing around the room.)

He's going to replace the Big Wizzrobe Trio as the boss of Turtle Rock(since you get the Mirror Shield and Super Bombs there.) Here's a screenshot.

 

 

This leaves me with 4 mini-bosses and two final dungeon bosses left to create. Still lacking ideas on those, but I'm sure that I (or someone else) will come up with something.

He makes the whole room dark except for a circle around Link and if you hit him with the wand's magic, he becomes vulnerable to the sword for a short period of time and the room lights up. Spews a gout of flame from time to time.

And here's the new mini-boss for one of my dungeons. I call him Atlas, though he doesn't exactly carry the weight of the world on his shoulders. He does lob a large boulder at you.

 

Atlas 1.0

			Ghost_Data = turncombo;
			Gen_Explode_Waitframe(this,ghost);
		}
    }
}

 

And lastly, tbe new boss for the final dungeon of my current project; the dawn-themed Aurora. It spews a circle of fireballs and periodically defends itself.

				//Else, it is time to be vulnerable.
				else{
					ghost->Defense[NPCD_SWORD]= NPCDT_QUARTERDAMAGE;
					Defend = true;
				}
				//Handles projectile behavior based on direction it is facing.
				if(ghost->Dir ==DIR_DOWN ||ghost->Dir ==DIR_UP){
					for(int i = 0;i<360;i++){

						SetEWeaponLifespan(flame,EWL_TIMER, 120); 
						SetEWeaponDeathEffect(flame,EWD_VANISH, 0);
					}
				}
				//Reset projectile timer.
				timer = Choose(90,120,150,180);
			}
			//Reduce projectile timer.
			timer--;
			counter = Ghost_HaltingWalk4(counter, ghost->Step, ghost->Rate, ghost->Homing, 2, ghost->Haltrate, 45); //Move the Lynel
			Ghost_Data = turncombo;
			Gen_Explode_Waitframe(this,ghost);
		}
    }
}

 

I'll be adding the sprites to these to my Various Tiles submission.

 

That means I'm two mini-bosses away from having every boss and mini-boss in my quest being scripted! For reference, the ones I still need ideas for are as follows-one is in a Ghini-infest catacomb and the other is in a resort covered in ice.

well,for that Ghini-infested catacomb,if you want a ghost,you could make one that disappears and reappears(while still being able to walk either as a normal walking enemy,or a ghini),And it could,like,Summon some more ghinis (if the summoned ghinis are special or not,up to you) and/or either cast some magic spells or have a fire breath.For the ice,you could make some kind of enemy that needs to be melted/have some of its ice melted before it is vulnerable to other attacks,and could also be able to freeze you and/or slow you down.

The temporary-disappearing part would be easy. It is the summoning more foes that I like. I'm thinking of a variant on the Poe Sisters from OOT (which I already have sprites for). Basically, you'd have to face each one one at a time and which one was attacking you would be switched periodically. Each one would require a different weapon and attack in a different way. You would have to beat all four to win. 

 

I'll probably try to do this idea for my next quest, however. That's because I only want one large foe for this mini-boss. I'm thinking a revamped version of my Phantom Ganon script. (I've been dying to do this, anyway.) I'd probably make it where he summons a fake clone, then both rush towards you; but only one is real. (The other will not have any effect on you.) After that, it will circle you while it is invulnerable and spit out fireballs; then rush away and repeat.

 

For the ice,you could make some kind of enemy that needs to be melted/have some of its ice melted before it is vulnerable to other attacks,and could also be able to freeze you and/or slow you down.

 

I've got sprites for either a snowman or a large chunk of ice that's alive. Both would naturally be vulnerable to your Candle/Lantern. (You get the wand and magic book in this dungeon, but after you beat this mini-boss.) Maybe have it check for being hit by that weapon, then change vulnerability to something else (like the sword) and if I use the ice block; have it hop around the room.

 

Once I get these created, I'll post the results here.

[ywkls]

Alright, here's the Cold Thwomp. (Lousy name, but I couldn't come up with anything better.) It jumps towards you and sprays out a bunch of ice chunks when it lands. Only vulnerable to the candle while on the ground.

 

Cool Thwomp 1.0

const int CHUNK_SPRITE = 83;//Weapon sprite of sprayed chunks.

ffc script Cold_Thwomp{
	void run(int enemyID){
		npc ghost = Ghost_InitAutoGhost(this, enemyID);
		Ghost_X = 75;
		Ghost_Y = 75;
		int combo = ghost->Attributes[10];
		eweapon chunk[4];
		//Randomly select how often it jumps.
		int jump_timer = Choose(90,120,150,180);
		Ghost_TileWidth = 3;
		Ghost_TileHeight = 3;
		Ghost_Data = combo;
		float counter = -1;
		//Used to determine where the enemy jumps to.
		float targetX;
                float targetY;
		Ghost_SetHitOffsets(ghost,12,7,0,9);
		while(ghost->HP>0){
			//It is time to jump.
			if(jump_timer<0){
				ghost->Defense[NPCD_FIRE]= NPCDT_IGNORE;
				//Set jump destination to above Link.
				targetX=Link->X-8;
				targetY=Link->Y-16;
				//Jump and move over previously determined location.
				while(Ghost_Jump<6){
					Ghost_Jump++;
					if(Ghost_X >targetX)Ghost_X--;
					else Ghost_X++;
					if(Ghost_Y>targetY)Ghost_Y--;
					else Ghost_Y++;
					Gen_Explode_Waitframe(this,ghost);
				}
				//While in the air, drop to Link's last position.
				while(Ghost_Z>0){
					if(Ghost_X >targetX)Ghost_X--;
					else Ghost_X++;
					if(Ghost_Y>targetY)Ghost_Y--;
					else Ghost_Y++;
					Ghost_Z--;
					Gen_Explode_Waitframe(this,ghost);
				}
				//Create a spray of ice chunks.
				for(int i = 0; i<5;i++){
					chunk[i] = FireAimedEWeapon(ghost->Weapon, Ghost_X, Ghost_Y, (i+90), 100, ghost->WeaponDamage, CHUNK_SPRITE, -1, 0);
					SetEWeaponLifespan(chunk[i],EWL_TIMER, 60);
					SetEWeaponDeathEffect(chunk[i],EWD_VANISH, 0);
				}
				//Return defense to normal, reset timer.
				ghost->Defense[NPCD_FIRE]=NPCDT_NONE;
				jump_timer = Choose(90,120,150,180);
			}
			//Reduce jump timer.
			jump_timer--;
			counter = Ghost_VariableWalk8(counter, 50, 4, 50, 0,16);
			Ghost_Data = combo;
			Gen_Explode_Waitframe(this,ghost);
		}
    }
}

 

I'll probably add sprites for him to my various tiles once I get done with the other one.

[ywkls]

Last one! (For now...) Decided against redoing Phantom Ganon at this point, since I'd rather create a new foe. So, here's Franky! (And yes, I know it was the scientist and not the monster who was called this, but  just about everyone has heard of both and will know what I'm referring to.)

 

Franky 1.0

ffc script Franky{
	void run(int enemyID){
		npc ghost = Ghost_InitAutoGhost(this, enemyID);
		Ghost_X = 75;
		Ghost_Y = 75;
		int combo = ghost->Attributes[10];
		eweapon bolt[4];
		//Controls how often it fires projectiles.
		int bolt_timer = Choose(90,120,150,180);
		Ghost_TileWidth = 2;
		Ghost_TileHeight = 4;
		Ghost_Transform(this,ghost,combo,-1,2,4);
		float counter = -1;
		//Controls how often it vanishes.
		int vanish_timer = Choose(90,120,150,180);
		//Handles whether it is visible or not.
		int mode = 1;
		int turncombo;
		Ghost_SetHitOffsets(ghost,12,7,0,9);
		while(ghost->HP>0){
			//Visible. Adjust appearance based on direction it is facing.
			if(mode==1){
				if(ghost->Dir == DIR_UP|| ghost->Dir ==DIR_LEFT)turncombo = combo;
				else turncombo = combo+1;
			}
			//Invisible.
			else turncombo = combo+2;
			//Time to fire projectiles.
			if(bolt_timer<0){
				for(int i = 0; i<5;i++){
					bolt[i] = FireAimedEWeapon(ghost->Weapon, Ghost_X, Ghost_Y, (i+90), 100, ghost->WeaponDamage, -1, -1, 0);
					SetEWeaponLifespan(bolt[i],EWL_TIMER, 60);
					SetEWeaponDeathEffect(bolt[i],EWD_VANISH, 0);
				}
				//Reset projectile timer.
				bolt_timer = Choose(90,120,150,180);
			}
			//Time to vanish. If visible, become invisible. Otherwise, become visible.
			//Reset vanish timer.
			if(vanish_timer<0 && mode ==1){
				mode = 2;
				Ghost_SetAllDefenses(ghost,NPCDT_IGNORE);
				vanish_timer =  Choose(90,120,150,180);
			}
			else if(vanish_timer<0 && mode ==2){
				mode = 1;
				Ghost_SetAllDefenses(ghost,NPCDT_NONE);
				vanish_timer = Choose(90,120,150,180);
			}
			//Reduce projectile and vanish timers.
			bolt_timer--;
			vanish_timer--;
			counter = Ghost_VariableWalk8(counter, 50, 4, 50, 0,16);
			Ghost_Data = turncombo;
			Gen_Explode_Waitframe(this,ghost);
		}
    }
}

 

I'll probably add the sprites for him, Cold Thwomp and any other foes I've yet to add to the Various Tiles sometime soon.

 

With that done, I'd like to remind anyone who reads this that I'm still open to ideas that I may develop in the future. I'm just not going to be focusing on this right now. If anyone wants to see some example quests of these bosses in action, I can add all of them (that aren't already there) to the database.
