It's at the same link I keep posting. The link itself will never change. You can download the latest revision from any of the download links I post. Seriously, I just delete the file that matches the link, and upload the newest file, which has the same filename, into the same place. The link to the file won't change, but the file itself does. The only reason why I keep posting the link in my post is so people don't have to go to the first post to download the latest version, even though I could.

I could also put the version into a Dropbox Folder, and have it permanently available online all the time. Those are nice little things to have. As in, there's this thing called Dropbox, which is like a regular folder on the computer, but it's shared in real time between everybody. So anything you put into the folder, everyone will have that file in their folder on their computer too.

So I can put the DoY Revisions into that folder, along with any screenshots or spoilers or music or whatever. Good stuff. It's an option.



Also.


I think it's important to note, that the version of ZQuest that I'm using has a memory leak. That means that the longer it's open, the more likely it is that my PC will bluescreen. Not good. I already had two last night, which is why I wasn't on. It's a big deal on this computer.

So I'm not sure how much longer I can keep working in this version. I'll see what I can do.

Thanks for your efforts, Shadow.
Is the "altar" fix in Link's Nightmare available yet?
I know it's a tough one.

[ShadowTiger]

Not yet, sorry. I'm working on it. I'm just so puzzled by C-Dawg's efforts in it. I think I may have to change the method of getting it to work. For one, the "Boss Key" that you pick up in dungeons ISN'T the "Kill All Enemies" item. It's not. It's the "Misc 2" item. How weird is that? That means that getting the misc 2 item kills the fire or trigger enemy that triggers the boss door, but it's not a kill all enemies item. It's weird.

So the same concept is applied to both medallions. The Medallion item is a Misc 1 item. One of them had the boss flag, but the other one, in the southwest of Twilight, didn't. It even had regular enemies on the screen. I'm not at all sure how C-Dawg intended on triggering any kind of boss flag like that. I think I'll have to rework the entire system.

I'm amazed it worked at all, once. Seriously strange stuff.

Jesus Christ..
that's a shaken new! this quest got corrupted trough all these years?
When I first played this, It wasn't that buggy (I think)
Only thing I can't recall if I ever did beat this or no, it been so many years ...
.I'll keep an eye on your " fantastic" work" to keep me updated
this quest is creation of a single person mind??,, or many others?? -- is so incredible""

I noticed you guys/gals do not have the ice boomerang...very handy...stops a lot of things in their tracks...in the Ruins..also the gold arrow is a very nifty weapon from the Ruins...need any assistance?

Missed that ice boomer, going for it now, thanks! Got the gold arrow. Did you get the red lantern?

The only item left (in the ruins) to get for me is the gold tunic.

I'm chompin' at the bit....need my ZC fix!!

How do you know there is a gold tunic?..I guess I need another medalion

[chiefbigcalf]

2 yrs. ago I made it to the last dungeon (deka tree) and tapped out there; so close

I think it might be the last item I need as well....just waiting for the latest "fix" (We need a clickable Smilie that is twiddling it's thumbs)

[ShadowTiger]

Heh, I know. XD It would make a great smily.


Anyway,

I took a look in ZQuest, and this bombable path never actually led anywhere. So I took out the bombable wall. I'm sorry that a bomb was wasted. Dunno how you found out about it, though.

I suspect that the entire room was Copy/Pasted over from a room directly to the left, which had a bombable wall in the exact same position, which actually led to an HCP. (FYI, it's in the cave directly to the north of this room. Swim north, when in that cave, then bomb the left wall in the same position as the bug you showed me. You're welcome. )



Also, I think you guys are absolutely amazing for getting the contents of the Ruins. It always frustrated me beyond belief. Getting all those Relics...


Anyway, I modified a few quest rules. Blocks now don't push when you cough on them, and actually require a moment of pushing. This will prevent them from moving immediately upon entering a room and bumping into them from that Dungeon Dmap style "walk-in" that you do.

If it becomes annoying, let me know, and I'll be glad to turn it off.

Oh, I also added shadows under flying enemies. I also have the ability to add shallow water ripples, (Though there's no shallow water in the quest. O.o' ) and bush clippings for slashable bushes. But eh... They're all set to "Slash" combos.



Anyway, slightly bad news, guys. This version of ZQuest has a rampant memory leak or something, and it's slowing me down badly. I've already gotten some Blue Screens of Death from having it open. I'm rather reluctant to continue working in it, but it's the only version that will support the quest's saves at the moment. After I fix this Pedestal bug, I may have to take a break for a while.

A quick fix will be to add a "cheat warp" right above it to go directly to Link's Nightmare. I'll probably do that.



Anyway, yeah, I did it. I added a cheat warp right above the Pedestal. It'll be that green warp that wasn't there before, on the screen just to the north of the Pedestal to Link's Nightmare that still doesn't work.

Latest Version.

Oh, are there still bugs in the Cave of Mirrors?

[Artistic]

Thanks for the update. The only bugs I found in the Cave of Mirrors I posted in post #419. That doesn't mean I found them all. I was just checking what I found before that you fixed.

[chiefbigcalf]

Thanks Shadow, truly a God-send! Will check things out after work Only 11 more work days left to wrapping up 35 yrs. of teaching math

[Gendof]

Congratulations, Chief.
I hope you enjoy retirement as much as I do...I finally found something that I am good at.

On another note, in latest fix, i can't go right outside of, or below, Link's house after using new warp from Twilight Gardens.

[Joe]

I had some time so I've been playing this morning, here are some problems I had? I think I'm using the latest version (I downloaded this morning). In no particular order.

#1 Elephant Dream















After Link Follows the path to the last screen and gets the heart piece from the chest ne has no escape. I had to quit and restart.



#2 Mines










Link is trapped on the treadmill and cannot get off. It happens on all the east and west conveyor belts.



#3 Crystalia Houses











Houses in Crystalia have have layering troubles as the houses in Kanvasas. If you don't want to know about these let me know.


#4 Excavation - 1





After killing all foes except this last one, Link is trapped as he has not have the mirror shield.



#5 Excavation - 2








After fallin into the pit Link is trapped in the wall on the 2nd screen.


More in next post.


Enjoy the Day!

Thanks - Joe

More problems.

Crypt # 1





The doors open when all foes are vanquished. If link bumps one of the grave stones before killing all and a ghost comes out - Link is trapped and you have to quit and restart.


Crypt #2








If Link falls into pit next to the wall in the first screen he is trapped l in screen2. (This happens to Link on both the east and east pits in screen 1).


Crypt #3

















Link is trapped after falling....



Crystal Canyon Cave










Just graphics...


More in my next post.

Thanks - Joe




More problems?

Overland Hyrule cave
















If you go to the last screen I believe that Link should be able to hookshot to the east block. In the 152 version I think that path leads to a heart piece.

Last for now.

I noticed that many areas have been made easier to solve, fight, and/or navigate (i.e. the Mines). The next is a suggestion for the Tower in Blester.








Many people find this hookshot very tricky and I know of at least one person who quit because of it. Perhaps a second block could be added or maybe one that is a bit wider.

Again I appreciate your efforts. This is a great improvement from where it was 2 weeks ago.


Enjoy Life!

All the ways are blocked to get out from Link's house after using new warp from Twilight Gardens.

But you might give a little whistle. Hint!
