What messed up with it? What did you do? Did you make any backups? You really ought to get in the habit of making constant backups of your quest in case something happens.

i will make a backup this time for sure!
and it wont take that long to redo

Probably a better idea (Well, in addition to starting fresh) to find out what went wrong so it doesn't go wrong again, or so you gain the know-how to fix it if it does.

I'm gonna make a quest. Expect to see it VERY SOON.(By "VERY SOON" I mean when the next update comes.)

[LikeLike on fire]

emailed my quest off to be fixed. ponder how I screwed up with warps and try to make use of video tuts and realise you can't figure things out for yourself.


green warp, blue warp, tile warp, side warp. I have to write this stuff down, or something.
I would like having the boss battle be on it
's own Dmap but there is that downside that you can be traped and screwed over

I also need to go back and watch those trigger tuts, so I don't have to relay on block pushing puzzles. I watched a YT let's play and the guys narrating said it's so overdone that it's not creative anymore to have a block puzzle that is maze of pushing blocks.

Yesterday, I finished my first town! Today, I plan on doing the houses, and getting everything needed done (Quest-wise!) in the town.

Yesterday, I finished my first town! Today, I plan on doing the houses, and getting everything needed done (Quest-wise!) in the town.

i sort of made a side view town. where 90% of everything is solid. but i messed up how you go into a house and warp to a room with a "guy" and string. maybe because i didn't set a warp to that screen (what was it? 83?) with the cave walk down door, then guy. the person was floating in the air with a shop. i disabled it.

i'm trying to make sense of the npc script.

Got about a quarter of the dungeon for my demo done. :D It feels nice working on dungeons again. :3 I decided to skip the interiors of the houses for now and focus on the dungeon since if I have to cut something from the demo, I'd rather it not be something kinda important like a dungeon. :P

I wrote a script for torch puzzles, which should appear in the script DB soon.

Anyone interested is free to try it out (and maybe find a bug I overlooked).

My new script

CODE

//Modification of changeIfNotFound script
//Once no unlit torches are found on screen, secrets are triggered
//D0 = unlit torch (or any trigger)
ffc script torchPuzzleMaster{
    void run ( int torchcombo ){
        bool torchFound = true; //Must be true to start the loop
        while ( torchFound ) //Loop while the trigger is on-screen
        {
            torchFound = false; //Reset the flag each frame
            for(int i=0; i<175; i++){ //Check each combo
                if(Screen->ComboD[i]==torchcombo){ //If the trigger is found
                    torchFound = true; //set the flag to keep going
                }
            }
            Waitframe(); //Allow the game to continue
        } //Once trigger is not found, exit loop
        Screen->TriggerSecrets(); //Once the trigger is found, trigger secrets
        //All done; exit script
    }
}

//Place on top of an unlit torch (or any trigger)
//If the torch is lit, it will change back after a set time (D0)
//When secrets are triggered, the script ends
//Torch combo must have inherent flag 94: Trigger -> Self only
//Also place the appropriate trigger flag on the combo
//D0: # of frames before torch goes out
ffc script torchPuzzleReset{
    void run ( int litTime ){
        int delay = 0;
        //Save the trigger's data
        int torchFlag = Screen->ComboF[ComboAt(this->X,this->Y)];
        int torchCombo = Screen->ComboD[ComboAt(this->X,this->Y)];
        int torchCSet = Screen->ComboC[ComboAt(this->X,this->Y)];
        //Correct invalid wait time
        if ( litTime < 1 )
            litTime = 1;
        while ( true ){
            //If the secrets are triggered, exit script
            if ( Screen->State[ST_SECRET] )
                return;
            //If the torch is lit, increment the counter
            if ( Screen->ComboD[ComboAt(this->X,this->Y)] != torchCombo )
                delay++;
            //Otherwise reset said counter
            else
                delay = 0;
            //If the delay reaches the wait time, reset the trigger and counter
            if ( delay >= litTime )
            {
                Screen->ComboD[ComboAt(this->X,this->Y)] = torchCombo;
                Screen->ComboF[ComboAt(this->X,this->Y)] = torchFlag;
                Screen->ComboC[ComboAt(this->X,this->Y)] = torchCSet;
                delay = 0;
            }
            Waitframe();
        }
    }
}

1. Made my own semi-custom csets (based off of DoR).

2. Added new graphics for the fireball.


3. Added some item tiles.

Today, I scrapped most of my script file.
Not much else...
Does beta testing count though?

Oh jared, I'm so sorry you felt the need to do that, but rejoice as I can help you reassemble it if you want.

As for me I submitted two things to the tile database and started assembling the combo table.

Today I decided to dig into ghost.zh and actually learn to use it, instead of begging other folk to make my bosses for me. I expect delays as I tinker with it. Aside from that, I tore apart and repurposed the LttP Goriya script, to make a mirror. It's kinda silly, really. When Link gets close enough to the mirror, it makes an FFC lookalike that does whatever he does. Pointless, really.
...except that when you use the correct item, the mirror turns into a doorway to a mirrored version of the room, Link turns into a rabbit and loses his ability to use items (except the one that got you there), and any triggers triggered in the mirrorverse affects the normal room as well.
...oh, and it burns through magic, too. When your magic is depleted (or you use the item again), you poof back to the real world in the same relative position.
And... it actually works! Yay blind luck in scripting!
I also realized I had forgotten a fairly major area in my second overworld map. Anyone have a good sideview pirate ship that bobs on the waves? At least 4 tiles tall? Anyone? I might have to build this myself... delays delays...

[Jared]

Well, I got my newer script file from Sepulcher, so some of my scripts have been saved. Yay.

Created ice water transitions now if I could just nail the water shallowsl transition we'd be good.
