whats the next release of the ZC series like theres 2.10 now and you can sumbit quests with it whens the next one coming out?

[The Satellite]

ZC 2.5 has been in development for awhile. The betas out now (2.11/2.5 betas) give you some thought into what awesomeness is in store for ZC.

[KDillon]

will it be sidescrolling? Like LTTP i heard about that a while ago

[The_Amaster]

Do you mean like LTTP in that the rooms are bigger than a screen. If so, than no. It's really complex, and slated for after 2.5. But there is some knock-your-socks off stuff. Check out the beta forums at AGN for more info. (Okay, sneak peek here: Roc's Feather!)

[KDillon]

wow Roc's feather
do you know when it comes out?

[The Satellite]

NOBODY knows, dude. It's up to the Devs. Personally, there's enough of an advancement over 2.10 that they might as well just fix up the current bugs and release that. Wouldn't hurt. Though, they've probably got even cooler stuff planned on it, so it's probably best to be patient.

[KDillon]

sorry just curious

but im very impatient so sorry about that

[The Satellite]

I wasn't trying to be rude or anything, dude. Didn't you see the " "?

Still, 2.10's good enough. I decided to make a quest in 2.10 to burn time while waiting for 2.5, and it's a big quest, not a short one, so it'll last me enough time. If you really can't wait, then you should try making another quest, as well.

[KDillon]

okay thanks but i knew you werent trying to be mean
yea im working on a quest now though

[The Satellite]

Cool.

Good luck on your next quest!

[Majora]

Cool things:

Roc's Feather

SCRIPTING! ZOMG

A bunch of new items (Around 100 total I think....)

Side View (SMB style)

Item Editor (mostly functional)

Enemy Editor (somewhat functional)

more if I can remember them.

[KDillon]

Scripting like as in that really complicating script thing in RPG makers

[Majora]

Yes, only slightly less complicated, and entirely optional

It's probably MORE complicated for a few reasons, but, obviously, it ceases to be nearly as complex once you get the hang of it. It's currently somewhat simple to make a script that, say, looks at your maximum hit points, and sets your current HP to that maximum every few seconds, or better yet, milliseconds. Good for those days where you just happen to be strolling through a fairy pond. Yep.

The latest betas aren't that unstable, as far as I can tell. They can be found at www.shardstorm.com. Just realize that anything you save in these versions cannot be opened or played in previous versions. You can only open an old quest in a new version.

[Old-Skool]

No, we don't know when the next version of ZC is coming out. Stop asking.
