Testers are always welcome It uses 2.5. Screenshots are preferable with a description of what it is directly above or below the screenshot. Good luck, and happy playing!

Ok, so can you sum up anything I may need to know before I start testing?

This is a good place to start.

[coolgamer012345]

Ok I see, Take a image of something that looks odd or out of place and then upload it somewhere and post it here, Tell about bugs I find, Seems simple enough!

[ShadowTiger]

Any news, coolgamer? How are you enjoying the quest so far?

Don't forget to follow the topic. The button to do so is in the upper right corner of the page.

Well, here's the bugs that I've found so far.

 

 

When you cut the flower that was originally located there, it results in this black tile appearing.

 

 

As you can see, when you talk to the NPC, the bombable tile becomes partially covered.

 

 

The stairway here isn't passable unless the bombable rock above is destroyed.

 

 

Kinda odd that there's soldier darknuts here when the other variant is in every other section of the dungeon, but that could be intentional.

 

 

The star closest to link here isn't passable, but that's partially okay seeing as I'm pretty sure it's supposed to be a peg like the rest of them. It becomes a depressed peg if you step on the star switch.

 

 

In the NW entrance to the crypt here, the enemies that you find along the path are visible without the cross.

 

 

And finally, there's weird impassable purple tiles at the potion shop in/on Enigma Castle.

 

And upon playing a bit further...

 

 

Use a super bomb in the d? Guessing it's an incomplete string. (Located in the Devouring Forest)

 

P.S. I'm at Blester now, and have to say, this is the farthest I've ever progressed in this quest. Never found Mirage before. Really like the quest design, and also THANK GOD for that like-like proof shield. One more notes for the crypt though. There was a point on the lowest level of it that I got two keys(from a path leading south near the boss door that closes behind you and has a teleporter. Not the one with three entrances, but a single one.) from one key location.

Thanks very much for the bugs. My computer (PSU actually) is giving me issues at the moment and can shut off at a moment's notice, so please know that I have read them, and will fix them when the PC is finished being all melty.

Just a little question, is this a real finished quest or just a huge non-hidden beta testing thread for a quest? If this quest is finished, I'd like to have the latest link to the questfile. I'd like to try out the quest

[ShadowTiger]

It's in the first post, and most of my posts in this thread. It's all the same link leading to the same file, so pick any, and give it a go! But any bugs that you find that aren't already mentioned very recently (As in, on this page or the last.) would be appreciated if they could be posted.

Do please enjoy. Remember, it's not my quest. It's C-Dawg's. I'm just polishing it up for when he has the time to return.

Alright, I think I screwed up myself. Found 4 bombs and tried bombing various walls in the dungeon but couldn't find a bomb hole. Now I'm out of bombs. I think I have to restart the game? I am in the deku tree.

 

Edit: Okay after a while I escaped the dream found some forest and kokiri village. Have to mention some things:

 

- The keeses in the deku tree don't have black outlines.

 

- You can walk during pickup strings and signpost messages. I have no idea why you would not check the messages freeze all action rule. It's feels more polished then.

 

- Found a heart piece here but it didn't play a pickup string. When a quest uses pickup strings, I think it's better if every item uses it. Considering some other heart pieces I picked up did play a string.

 

- Also, the deku tree felt like a very hard dungeon to navigate through. I don't feel like I have visited all rooms and the two state switch and multiple floors didn't help either.

 

I really like playing good old school quests but I think it will get very hard for me. I already have no idea where to go, after I got some green potion from an owl. I found a cave with a dead end somewhere. There was water that looked like the shallow water from alttp but wasn't walkable.

Your goal for now is to head into the rest of Hyrule mainly, but you'll need the gauntlet first to do so. There's a hidden path in the SW part of the village that'll get you on your way(I believe the Owl mentions this too). PM me if you want a bit more help.

New battery came in the mail a couple days ago...and it seems like it's working fine.  Looks like I'm in the clear again.

 

So, I guess you can expect reports again starting tomorrow.  Time to finally crack the final dungeon...

[jman2050]

I know ShadowTiger mentioned not whole "not changing the duplicated rooms system" earlier but seriously, if any dungeon can instantly benefit from being merged into one map and using scripts to control the placement of the compass blocks it's the final dungeon.

 

Also the final dungeon owns and satisfied my masochistic tendencies with gusto. That place destroyed me in the several months it took to finally finish and finishing it was the most satisfying thing.

Hell, I'm just happy that your computer is fine again. To heck with DoY. Seriously. Good to have you back! We missed you.

I'm certainly able to agree with you on that one on both counts. It'd be interesting to implement though. I keep thinking of it being a global script to keep track of which direction it's on, and an FFC to control the Plus configuration. Question is, how will it handle having two buttons on the same screen?

Also, hi! Bold and italic and whatnot. Good to see you again, jman. How the hell are you?

Several months?

 

...This doesn't bode well for me.

 

 

I think it'll take me some time to get my bearings again.  This report's on the shorter side.

 

(Endgame Spoilers)

Spoiler

 

The status of the east wall here doesn't carry over.  If it's bombed open in one version of the dungeon, it remains sealed in the other three.

 

 

 

This was the spot where I started noticing something about the doors on the east and west walls.  The areas next to the door frames are solid black, instead of showing a little bit of the open passageway like the ones on the north and south walls do.  I...don't know if you can fix that with old school door sets, though.

 

 

(Miniboss Spoilers)

Spoiler

 

The cutscenes for the first miniboss still play even after you win.  The enemies themselves stay dead, but it still tries to go through the entire fight all over again.

 

 

 

Meanwhile, there was some kind of error during the second miniboss fight.  I...don't remember exactly what it was, but I must not have realized it until this cutscene started. >_>

 

 

 

More water-floor borders are missing here.

 

 

 

This entrance opened up on one of my visits back to the dungeon.  Was it supposed to open up when I beat the second miniboss?  Is it some kind of error?

 

 

 

Link can walk on this part of the low wall.  Don't ask how I figured it out. >_>

 

 

 

Another bombed wall that doesn't carry over.

 

 

 

I have to wonder about the enemy choice here.  Nothing like entering a room and realizing you're standing on a Gleeok's back.

 

...A Gleeok that still has a screwed up palette, no less...

 

 

 

Strange one.  When you enter the dungeon from the aforementioned second entrance, the map doesn't show up.

 

 

 

I did a little bit of exploring on the second floor, and found out the Bubble placement is just as screwed up there as it used to be on the first floor.  About half the rooms I went through had a red one wandering around, but there wasn't a single blue one.  Based on the fact that there were a handful of treasure chests there, you clearly aren't supposed to go through the entire floor while jinxed.  Couldn't hurt to add a blue one to the first room of the second floor, could it?

 

 

 

And finally, I'm getting a little too acquainted with this room.  Now I want to know how I ended up here after I fell in a pit on the second floor. >_>

 

Seems like the second floor was designed around the same thing the first floor originally was: one long, winding labyrinth with a ton of unforgiving obstacles placed in front of you, making you start all over if you screw up even once.  Great.

 

 

Notes:

-Now that I think about it, what do you accomplish by going and destroying that weapon after the 6th boss?  Is there something you can't do until you destroy it?  It was never really spelled out in game...

(Endgame Spoilers)

Spoiler

-You'll probably want to put a Blue Bubble outside Level 9's alternate entrance as well.  Based on what I was saying about the second floor, it's entirely possible to leave the dungeon through the second entrance while jinxed, and have no way on unjinxing yourself in the immediate area.  Now that I think about it, actually, what if you saved and quit while jinxed?  Maybe it'd be a good idea to make it to fairy rings remove them...as long as there isn't one in Level 5, anyway...

-With all the locked doors removed from 1F, there isn't much of a point for a couple chests on the floor to contain keys.  But since you do have to think a little to get to them, and more rupees would be a pretty disappointing reward for that...maybe have it so there are only a couple locked doors on the first floor?  I dunno.

-Now that I remember, I want to say there was a 200 Rupee piece somewhere around the southwestern part of 1F that Link doesn't pick up.

-I've explored just about the entire first floor, and I still have no clue where the Magic Key is.  Any hints? >_>
