When do you think engine pits will be available? I assume not until 2.55 fully releases?

Uh, the next alpha, within a few days, if I can get this done; though they will still be missing a couple things that make them nicer, they should be functional on a basic level

Had a good time playing with Layers today. I used the new knowledge, the Firebird tileset, and some help from a friend's more detail-seeking eye to remake this section of Z1:

Since I've seen thar 2.55 74 offers the simple solution to add  portraits, to the string table bounding boxes.
...I began to create portraits for all my main- and side-chars.

I have evolved to a point of recognizing the mystical and elusive overhead layer, and used this amazing skill... to make a simplistic cave.
Progress is progress, after all.

Opened my old quest for the first time in years. Found out old versions of Zelda Classic don't like windows 10 so updated to 2.55. Only to find out the quest doesn't like 2.55 or 2.53!! Why can't they all just get along?

Anyway, So decided to restart with a new quest with all the stuff I learned from my old one. Finished laying down the base idea and outline. Now gearing up to start scripting.

What version were you updating from? Old quests should open fine in 2.53/2.55.....

2.50 something I think. The quest would open fine but the scripts had some major issues. They would randomly run. For example I could have 4 torch FFCs running on screen, each running the same script. On one play through the first FFC might fail. On a second play through the 3rd FFC might fail. On the third play they all might be fine. Or I could have a floor switch script and a shutter door script and the switch would fail, but changing DMaps then returning would have the switch work again. Or sections on my global loop would fail. For example dark rooms or stairs would be working fine but the interactive dungeon map would fail. Then on a second play it could be dark rooms that fail, while stairs or the map works fine. So on and on.

It's so bizarre. I would have trouble even tracking down were to start looking as my quest is extremely script heavy and it appears that everything was effected. So I chose to restart. I've learned enough that I wasn't to happy with what I had anyway and felt I was attempting to force more into the Quest that it wasn't designed for as I learned what made a good game. Sometimes a blank slate is best slate.

The area linking up Eagle Den to the rest of the overworld is nicely under way, I'd say. Even got a chance to flex an attempt at multi-layered Flags with a secret down at the old "burn random tree in the forest" spot below.
