The future is now old man!

Realtalk though, you can use grabber (included in /utilities) to open .dat files; and one of them has the title screen stuff in it, so you can extract them as bitmaps and palettes. Then if you edit that with Allegro Sprite Editor, you can create an indexed-palette bitmap image that can be put back into the program. Firstly, this means you can make custom title screens for modules; secondly, this means you can submit new title screens to us for default module, should you feel inclined.

Indeed. And I assume this will be a thing when the name change goes through. Could even make a contest of it. Though for the record that title screen was not a serious suggestion.

Aye, certainly got that; just figured it was a perfect excuse to discuss it seriously. A contest for multiple title screen options could be good.

So, what exactly will change editor-wise?

As a long standing quest author and contributor, I am saddened to see this.

I certainly hope for Zoria's recovery.

 

As for the well being of Zelda Classic. I had always thought that it needed an official non-zelda name, simply for copyright reasons.

I am glad to hear that steps are being taken to keep the community (Pure and AGN together), safe from legal action.

Although, I am saddened to see the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 5th quests removed from future versions.

 

Naming wise...

I have always referred to it as ZC, but Zquest and Zclassic would works as well.

 

I look forward to a contest if we should have one as Moosh suggested.

Due to the nature of recent incidents, Zoria is no longer a member of the ZC github repo.

 

That being said, like any non-member, users are free to do pull requests and review to contribute.

Can we unpin this thread? It's been quite awhile since this happened. And most of the information in the first post is either irrelevant or outdated for people checking out what ZC is all about (for example: there is no long a "council")
