You may have discovered some bugs I have not noticed, but I wanted to point out that the Big Link hitbox makes Link "fatter" when dealing with walk flags, so you will have to alter all narrow walkway combos in your tileset, making the walkable space at least one 16x16 tile thick. You'll also need to redesign any areas that require Link to squeeze into such narrow areas. This itself is not a bug; it's just a necessity.
And a warning: if you use big Link tiles without the Big Link hitbox, Link's head will probably start going under treetops and other such low overhead layered objects. This itself is not strange for Zelda games (try playing Minish Cap), but in a tileset that doesn't account for it, it can look quite bad.

I suggest serious testing if your going to use the big hitbox at this point.
I couldn't get him to go through any 16x16 east/west doorways, or passageways.

OK, then do I have to set up the tile differently? Or can I put them where I want to and then just define the Link tile locations?
Anyways Radien, I have been trying to keep up to date, but most of my interest lately has been in wargaming and an online game called Stendhal, I was doing GFX work for it (not so much now as I got bored). I will probably use those same graphics and maybe some other new stuff to design a quest that I can use to mearly relearn everything. I won't ever finish it, but I'll give it a go.
I tend to hop from project to project never finishing any of them (yes I have ADHD, pretty severe too) but I always learn something cool.
The theory behind my sample quest is to recreate a section of Seiken Densetsu 3, the area that goes to Rolante for those curious. I'll have to learn how to do palletes, how to make it so when you hit switches things move, how to have freeform dungeons. And also how to make it so when you activate something on the overworld, a different section of the overworld changes. basically all the stuff that I never really got around to learning. Firstly I have to redesign the graphics I'll need. The SD3 GFX are too complex, while the Zelda GFX are too simply, it'll have to be about halfway. I am going to draw them by hand scan then size and color them to make them work I think I'll go make a thread and try to explain step by step about the theory behind the quest and do updates showing how I am designing stuff and so on. It'll be helpful not only for me, but for other people who have problems quest building as well. Though if people read the thread, they'll be able to play the quest in their head without having to even try the quest. But it'll be for my own health more than other peoples.
So any new tutorials come out lately that may be helpful?

Rest assurred, fully implementing Big Link for me would mean extensive testing all-around. I'm not doing it yet.
Lotus Eater:
Sounds interesting. Good luck with your project.
To use the wide Link tiles, each tile has to be centered exactly as it would be if it were one tile, but "bleed" out 8 pixels on the left and right, into the neighboring tiles. This means that every other tile will contain pieces from two different Link frames.
Y'know, I think it's about time someone ripped and implemented all of the LTTP Link tiles into a 2.11 version of the LTTP tileset. I'm considering doing so, because people need a working example, badly.
...Currently debating whether this thread should be moved to ZQuest Editor Help...

I know, I know, posting in a thread that already has all the general info seems better, but there are rules against gravedigging, and if everyone started breaking them, the forums would erupt into such chaos...
