Er... wow. No idea how that happened. I didn't do anything out of the ordinary at all. Everyone is only working in ZC 2.5 RC3, yes?
PM me some info on what you had and where you were, and I'll do my best to make you a new save file with all that stuff.
Yes I'm using RC3. Thanks for the offer, but I'd rather play it out myself. As far as what happened I also did nothing I haven't done many times (replacing existing game files with updated versions). It's not the first time strange things have occurred while playing ZC... I'll just chalk it up to magic and continue to enjoy the game.
The last one was definitely a bug that I just now fixed, (Sorry about that; faulty warp destination.) but all of the others, I just tested out and they work.
So can anyone say this was just unfortunate for Joe or has this happened to others with this same update?
mmm... myself am in troubles "boiling hot" no able to play when I was so far in the game now the computer don't recognize the quest and can't load into memory whatever is.. I'm going nuts , taken a brake and will start scanning what happened oh well ...

so we can confirm this is a bad update and just wait for the next one!
Also, any chance at that relic location guide anyone ; )

On the gallery I don't recall any relic, just the " holly cross" In the train station you must go into the " invisible room"" (easy, just walk trough the north wall) on the mines... can't recall right now,, so I'll try to make work and will check (may send you a PM when find the locations)

Sounds good and thanks! So.... I am just waiting for a big update that wont crash so until Shadow has time I will just sit here twitling my thumbs
In the Train Station: Four screens up from the dungeon entrance is a room with a single red Gohma. (Crab) Walk through the north wall. You can do this as soon as you enter the dungeon, without having to trigger any switches.
There's nothing in the Gallery or the Crystal Mines, apparently.
Here's a list of the dungeons and locations of all of the Relics in the game. The number to the left of the colon is the map number, (Irrelevant to y'all) and the number to the right is the coordinates on the 16x8 plane, starting from 00 -> 0F on the top left to the top right, to 70 -> 7F, bottom left to the bottom right. 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 A B C D E F

--- Bait --- Excavation - 8:6A (room item) Mirage Temple - 11:68 (room item) Crypt - 20:43 (room item) Blester, F-1 - 22:54 (room item) Capital Port Houses - 26:46 (room item, enemies -> item) (Bomb for it) Enigma, F-2 - 29:64 (room item) (Take the upper right door from the room to its west) Volcano, F-2 - 36:79 (room item) Excavation, F-1 - 39:70 (room item, enemies -> item) Marathon, F-1 - 45:07 (room item) (Yes, there's two of them in the exact same spot) Marathon, F-1 - 46:07 (room item, enemies -> item) Train Station, F-1 - 16:30 (special item) Devouring Forest Caves - 24:05 (special item) (Get there from the screen with 3 big (3x3) boulders on it in a triangle.) Predator - 25:74 (special item) (One screen to the right of the actual mouth where you arrive)
By the way, just for fun, here is the total number of Heart Container Pieces in the world. I just copied and pasted it
Really sorry about the apparent corruption. I have no idea what's causing it. I'm still on the same RC3, working with the same file, and it hasn't even changed much this month.
Because it's playing just fine for me. Then again, I don't have to replace a file on my end. I would just be replacing the same file with the same file..

As always thank you Shadow! I understand I am using one ver. back of DOY just in case so I don't have a corrupt file but when you update it some more let us know! Also, if I find a new bug, can I still just post a screen shot like before?

As per the information contained within this post, let it be known that the procedure through which this quest is, while useful, potentially harmful to your save file. Please play this quest in its own folder, on its own version of ZC 2.5 RC3, with no other quests in your save file to corrupt. Don't forget to back up your save file every week or so, and before you download a new quest file revision.
Marathon has a number of "stoppers", places that that ladder won't let one proceed (I know there are places you can't for a reason ). I can't figure out how to use a screenshot but the first problem I encountered was, from the start, L U R U RRR U...can't go left.

Hit f12 while in play, it saves the image in the folder where you play the game. Go to a site like photobucket and upload the picture and it will give you a link to post, that easy!

Yes yes absolutely, many thanks.
I'm just so confused as to why the latest release corrupted peoples' quest files. I didn't change RC3, and I didn't even change the quest file except for bug-fixes and tiny changes and whatnot. The quest file format should be exactly the same, and playing it on my own PC doesn't have any negative consequences.
----------------------
I'll go through Marathon Dungeon and look at all the screens with ladder issues. I'll release a new version today, probably, in a few hours from this post.
The current version is playable. The more bugs people find while playing, the fewer bugs there will actually be after I fix them and re-release the quest.
There is no more of a "final version" than there is an actual reachable state of human perfection. There is always room for improvement. It just gets better and better with each release.
If you'd like, play it in a separate folder with RC3 in it, and make regular backups of your quest file itself, (zc.sav and backupzc.sav) so if somehow a save file gets corrupted, no other quests are impacted.
I'm doing everything I can to make this playable and enjoyable for everyone. But I'm only one man, and my time is limited. Show me a bug, and I'll definitely fix it.
Sorry if this was the answer you were looking for.
