I guess we need to make the note about that in the first post much bigger, maybe in bold, and put the download link after it so it can't be missed?

Is there a screen flag or scripting flag that makes it so Link's Icon can be set? You know so you can say LinkPostion -> 0A or something like that so that Link's icon stays on 0A instead of toggling around the map when we do screen warps. Just wondering, I am looking through the features and I didn't see anything like that, so just wondering.

Terrible Bug x skip and y skip when used together mess with the number of frames. I have it set up so there's 12 frames x skip = 3 and y skip = 5.

Yes that's a good idea. Something that really gets peoples attention, like.. "ATTENTION!" in giant bold red letters. With the remaining stuff in bold and possibly bigger in size.

No, I don't believe there is a Link->Minimap available yet.

Just using Y skip alone does this too. Unfortunately, I have no idea how this is supposed to work, if it's a recent bug, or always did this. Did DN document this feature? ..I don't want to break older 2.5 quests by changing it. Anyone ever use this feature and can tell me what the bug is?

Last I can recall, it was designed to help reduce the confusion of tile placement in tile pages. It would allow you to lay out the tiles in the tile pages how they should look like when grouped together like a picture, rather than forcing you to break up each frame of the complete picture into long trails of equally long segments just to animate them.

What I am worried about is breaking quests made in the last 5 years of 2.11+ ZC versions. If I fix the "total frames = frames * Yskip" behavior (which I think is wrong), would that break any quests?

[ShadowTiger]

I've never heard of anyone using it (Successfully, at least. ) but I'm only one person. Whenever I try to use it, I generally meet with failure.

Oh. Wait. I do remember one thing. Do you remember when Nayru's Love was first implemented, and in Newfirst.qst you'd have a tiles page with the ripped ALTTP Blue crystal? It had two variations: One with the natural style of animation in the tiles page, and one page where you actually had the 2x2 tile crystals, not broken up into strings of corners to be animated. I'll bet that's when the X Y animation was introduced too.

But that leads me to wonder just when it became broken. O.o Because that's all I can imagine it was ever being used for. When did It break? When did it become useless to use? So between then and now, it might be safe to repair back to its original functionality.

I mean, I wonder what would happen if we found a copy of newfirst that had that in and functional and tried it out. Would it animate correctly in our correct RC3?

The question is:
Is it possible to successfully use it even it does not work right? If not: then there is no other way than fix it. If it can be used successfully please tell me how. In any case since it is only animation it will not break quests to become unplayable so it should not be an issue. I hope i speak for everybody when saying, glitch graphics are no problem, only gamebreaking things like missing keys are.(so essentially it could not even totally break something just make things look ugly)

OK, I think you are right ST. I have not found anything where y-skip is used so I think it's safe for me to just fix it.

Should be fixed in next release.

EDIT: Fixed.

Bug in Hero of Dreams QST-

On the Mac (10.6 "Snow Leopard") version of RC 3, the MIDI for the Island Sorrow (Level 1) begins to encounter difficulties with "stuck note" syndrome, eventually resulting in all instruments falling silent one-by-one until there is nothing playing. After a while, the MIDI returns to life.

Quest bug or engine bug? Keep in mind the frame rate issues evident in the video do not actually occur unless Quicktime's screen record function is utilized. Those can therefore be safely ignored.

Multiplayer yet? I'm still faithfully waiting. :3

I'm not Phantom Menace or anyone like that, but I am sure that there is no way in the world that ZC is getting that, until unless it gets rewritten.

Done. Hopefully Saffith doesn't mind my edit.

On Mac, when I go to "View Map > Save to File (Mapmaker)" ZC crashes.
Sometimes it does make an image in my folder, but it is only 256x224.
