I know what Strike is talking about. It happened in my quest too.

Was the enemy copy/pasting taken out before the final release? It doesn't seem to be working anymore.

[Gleeok]

Copy paste should work. "[" copy and "]" paste. (hold them down and double-click.

Here is a link to a video of the bug:

I arrived late to the party, but this is excellent news, especially since Santa brought me a new PC! I have a question though. I can use 2.50 in Windows 8 but when I try to edit any Item Drop set past #4, zquest crashes on me. I tried this with multiple quests, but the same result each time. Am I using the program wrong, or is this the evil doing of Windows 8? Did I actually find a bug?

It runs in windows 8, But there is some bugs still in it apparently. I don't know I can't run mine in full screen so... Yeah I say good luck with it.

[BigJoe]

Can you explain how to reproduce this bug, as I just tried it and didn't see it happen.

I tried to reproduce it as well, and found that Diagonal Movement has to be on.

From what I understand, diagonal movement is a mess in many ways. It is best to only use it if you are willing to put up with its problems or know ways to get around them.

Congraturation! This build is happy end. Thank you.
Being the wise and courageor developers that you are, you feel strongth welling. In your code. Return to starting line, script again!

No but seriously, congratulations (it's hard to look at this word properly now xD) on making it to a full stable build once more. I may not use this program for development anymore, but I'm happy to see this day come after such a long time. Even if it wasn't much, I'm glad I was able to contribute what I could toward this release. I look forward to see where this program will go in the future; until then....WE'RE RIVALS >:3.

A fantastic quote from G&G. Many thanks for nearly a decade of work to all! I'll add a quote from the sequel 'The end...???' I certainly loom forward to the future, as I try to make progress on my projects from this tiny dungheap of a flat.

I would also love to see the SRC just for shits and grins at some point in the future. I suspect it was forbidden due to being current code, but if it is going to be a rewrite for v3, it probably doesn't matter. A SRC release could also permit custom funky non-supported versions from questmakers in the future, while we wait for the next great benchmark.

I wanted to quote my post in the RC5 thread, for any consideration in mini-patches, as it *might* prove easy enough to perform, or not.

From 28th Dec, 'With regard to item magic consumption: The magic restoration ring has options to replenish a specific amount of magic every so often. Could that not be reversed and applied to the other items that use magic @ constant, like the boots and cane? Perhaps also for items that use magic per charge, like the rod as well with a variable amount setting? I mean, if there is already code to replenish magic every so many ticks, then wouldn't reversing the values have the opposite effect?'

I'm also curious is a MacOSX PPC compile would be possible at all, at all, of if it's just out of the question. It would be nice, to fulfill the age-old promise from the 2.10 days.

Hey, guys! I haven't been here in a while, but when I found out that 2.50 had been released, I just felt compelled to log into this dusty profile and congratulate everyone who's spent SOOO much time and energy and effort into this! My admiration and appreciation goes out to you all!

Thank you for all your hard work. I wish I knew all the names of everyone who's worked on this thing-- I don't want to just type up a few of the ones I remember from years ago and miss someone. Just know that I appreciate you, and you know who you are!

I look forward to what the future holds, though... In my book, any and all quotas that you dev's may have had have been fulfilled and overfilled! I remember a couple years ago that I told Joe123 (I think it was him) that you all should just stop updating the old system and jump straight to the new one... that was selfish and I apologize.^^; No more such criticisms will come from me (and not just because we are nearing the end of 2.5)-- you all have earned my individual, lasting, though sometimes quiet, support!

[Anthus]

This. Is. Unbelievable. It'd be funny if it wasn't finished, and the devs counted on the world ending so no one could say anything

Downloading now (latey ass late to latesville McLateson).

Thanks devs for your years/ hours of hard work to bring the community something awesome

This is not a good release, this is not a great release... This is a DAMN AMAZING release...

[trudatman]

I was reading elsewhere that:

....There is a known issue in this ZC release that makes Moldorms and Lanmolas disappear (like a killed enemy) if you exit and re-enter the room after having killed just a single segment. This is already fixed in the internal next release....

I was having this problem, but I was never attacking the moldorms at all and they were disappearing. it happens in Sticks And Stones when the screen is entered from the left, showing a lanmola, leaving down and returning up onto the screen that then has no enemy. it's about halfway through the demo if anybody cares to see the issue in action. is this fixed for the next release? it's a weird error.

[Anthus]

So far so good My Quest plays smoothly, and actually, I couldn't even play anything till this release cause the RC didn't work on my new computer. But anyway, this is cool to finally be using a stable, official ZC release again. And as it seems, this works on Windows 7 out of the box. No fixes needed.

I did notice one issue however, and it might be on my end, but I noticed that the play time clock disappears. It worked on the first map, at about 6 minutes in, but when I paused the game later, it wasn't there. Maybe it has to be enabled on each Dmap, or something, I dunno, I never really thought about it much till I happened to notice this lol.

[SpacemanDan]

So I'm not sure if anything changed, but before I was using enhanced music and would have it shut off by using PlayMidi(0). Now it doesn't stop the music, it just starts it over. I have an idea for a workaround, so if it can't be done now, it's not a big deal. Or if it's a bug, I figured this would be the best place to ask.

EDIT: Never mind...It works now... O_O

So Blue Wizzrobes seem to have broken. On almost every screen that I have them in this dungeon, they find themselves getting stuck in those coordinates in the upper left corner.
