One more ice block puzzle

 

[isolated726]

So seeing as computer down = computer wipe, quest is being updated/remade from scratch using EZGBZ 2.5. Now including custom subscreen work, of which 5% is done as of today, or 3% if I go with a different pallette?, Pallet?, Palette? however it's spelled, or CSet, which is easier.

EDIT: Palette is correct according to ZQ

EDIT 2: Dropped custom subscreen for now, have overworld to build

I did the Temple of Cole. I have some choice words I would like to say right now.

I've been in a pretty grave situation right now working on a graveyard area. Made a test screen including some graves and basic enemies to test the atmosphere of the chosen MIDI (which fits nicely) and am working on that at this time. The only problem is that it's accessible at the game's start, but you can't really do anything major until later in the game. This means that the enemies are going to be too difficult for the game's start and too easy by the time you're actually meant to go there. Basically, it's where level 7 resides. Actually getting into it isn't possible until later in the game. Kind of puts me in a weird spot design wise. Still, I can't possibly do any worse than the original, which is copy-paste for a few screens with nothing particularly interesting other than a couple dead-ends.

 

On another note, having changed Phantom Ghinis around a bit, they ended up becoming the best place to Rupee grind provided you have at least the Magical Sword. Not that you really need to at that point (or shouldn't have to anyway), but it's there.

I made some lava using different maps, d-maps, and direct warps.

 

When Link touches lava, he is instantly direct-warped to another screen with "under lava" effects complete with a transparent, slowly glowing red screen with 'underwater' effects for good measure, and a "you're getting fucked" sound effect. This screen is also on a d-map with an invisible item in your inventory enabled that will promptly sap your HP, as if you are in lava. The lava screen is also 'slow walk' combos *gasp*. When/ if Link touches the edge of the pool, he is direct-warped back to the normal screen

 

This is more or less like how Metroid games handle lava; you don't fall in and take damage and respawn, or you aren't knocked back, but instead, can traverse it slowly, and to your tank heart's demise. Now if only there was some item that made it so your can safely traverse lava, or whatever caustic fluid it is that looks kind of like lava. Hmm~

Well, samus has a full body suit so it's more realistic there. BUT this sounds neat anyways. Much preferred over drowning in it xD

As it so happens, I just scripted a lava area which rises and falls periodically. It is part of my ongoing effort to do more Metroid stuff, so I'm not sure how useful it'd be for other quests. But anybody who wants to can use it.

 

Rising and Falling Lava

//Test if one location is between two others.
//D0- Location to test
//D1- Lower bound
//D2- Higher bound

bool Between(int loc,int greaterthan, int lessthan){
	if(loc>=greaterthan && loc<=lessthan)return true;
	return false;
}

//Randomly set a bool's value to true or false.

bool ChooseBool() {
	if (Rand(0,1)==0) return true;
	else return false;
}

//Section 63. Rising Lava

const int LAVA_COMBO = 1211;//Combo used to draw lava.
const int LAVA_CSET = 6;//CSet of lava.
int LAVA_TIMER;//Tracks how often lava hurts you.

ffc script Rising_Lava{
	void run(int speed, int low_point, int high_point, int damage){
		int i;
		bool MovingUp = ChooseBool();
		int LavaY = this->Y;
		while(true){
			if(MovingUp && LavaY>high_point)LavaY-=speed;
			else if(MovingUp && LavaY<=high_point)
				MovingUp = false;
			if(!MovingUp && LavaY<low_point)LavaY+=speed;
			else if(!MovingUp && LavaY>=low_point)
				MovingUp = true;
			for(i=0;i<=256;i+=16){
				Screen->FastCombo(3, i, LavaY, LAVA_COMBO, LAVA_CSET, 64);
				if(LavaY<(low_point-16)){
					for(int j=0;j<=low_point;j+=16)
						Screen->FastCombo(3, i, LavaY+j, LAVA_COMBO, LAVA_CSET, 64);
				}
			}
			if(Between(Link->X+8,this->X,256) && Between(Link->Y+8,LavaY,low_point)){
				if(LAVA_TIMER<=30)
					LAVA_TIMER++;
				else{
					LAVA_TIMER = 0;
					Link->HP-=damage;
					Game->PlaySound(SFX_OUCH);
				}
			}
			Waitframe();
		}
	}
}

Technically yesterday, but I did some subscreen scripting. Horrible, horrible subscreen scripting. I took a subscreen Moosh scripted for a two week quest, which I had previously sloppily grafted on a second character to, and attempted to add a better character system to it to allow for a third character, as well as to remember what items each had equipped last. It mostly works, except for the part where it doesn't remember items properly and tries to equip literally every item you have to the A button. So that's fun.

[Yloh]

Have you ever tried to get something to work, but only to miss one simple step and somehow make it way more complex than it should have? That was last night for me. A good nights sleep with a fresh mind gave me the foresight to see what simple step I missed and got my first official ghost enemy to work in my quest.

Still working on my absurdly-expanded classic-based tileset that was supposed to be done in a few weeks and is well past 6 months now.

 

Got 3 major sections of it fully complete, and nearly finished the 4th and most tedious segment by far. 1st-tier-down angled corners complete, 2nd-tier-down angled corners complete, corner-side walls/doors complete, also got a couple loose ends on the diagonal walls complete, and then those damnable 1st-tier-up floor tile varieties. Had to do a lot of tile (and therefore combo) re-arranging for all of it, but those damnable floor tiles... if I had any idea they'd grow to such absurd proportions, I would have started in with a totally different tile design. Every time I made a new test screen, I needed even more variations. Today I finally decided to make every possible variation regardless of if I needed them for a screen or not. Then it'll be done once and for all.

 

And after I get some more floor tiles put together, I might actually have most of the dungeon tiles done. Never thought the day would come...

I managed to finish off playing a quest I was playing for several months now and then completed another quest right after

 

All of this ZC I'm doing these days makes me want to get back into ZQuest... and hopefully finish off AR3 once and for all lol

[TK8305]

I'm almost done test playing Beyond Hyrule for LPing!  Past Level 8!  Also finished AlphaDawg's 3rd Quest for an LP recently too.  :3

[kurt91]

I haven't been able to work on stuff on my desktop for a while, but I downloaded a copy of ZC to my laptop to play around with. I've been putting together a sort of full-palette NES tileset. It's restricted to only the colors that the NES would have been able to use, but removes the 4-color-per-tile restriction. I cobbled together a bunch of graphics from different top-down NES and Game Boy games, with the restriction being that I'm not allowed to use anything originally from a Zelda game.

 

It looks really neat, actually. I'm not sure I'll do a full quest with it, but I want to submit it for the next Map of the Month.

[Dark Ice Dragon]

i want create a strange character, that will be the hero of a new quest, i made few spites but there still a ton of wok to do.

It must be strange, little,agile, a bit silly and too cute for be a natural born killer.
