These are very exciting developments Bagu! Great work as always
 

It must take a lot of scripting to change a village midway through the quest or to manage an effective day-night cycle!

I can't speak for the day-night cycle, but I only need 2 FFC scripts in total to make that village phasing work. Each version of the village is a new (d)map with screen state carryovers to ensure secrets stay triggered in later phases.


I've been working on some NPCs and conversations myself

That's how I did it, before I had the idea, to create things like my global (passive/hidden) Counter (CR_GAMESTATE) and a variable "area_state"
...I can change FFCs, Screen behavior, DMap settings, etc.
...the area_state can be set to values from 0-4 (by dialogues, collecting items or anything you wish) just let scripts check these two states.

everytime a current area reaches state "4", the Gamestate counter increases (+1)...
...now the next area state can be changed.

This allows linear events (in non linear quests).

When you have day Night cycles, you can chang screens depending on specific hours etc..

But having copied maps/dmaps is still a good way.
...you can even combine both systems.

Always use the way, thar makes the most sense.

...oh just realized that I forgot to say, thank you

As for day/night cycle, if you want to have an actual visual "time of day" effect, https://www.purezc.n...=scripts&id=339

I love it when active and passive subs fit together.

A bunch of work on engine dark rooms. (lots of images)

Spoiler

[Bagu]

Loaded resized enemies  (Moblins, Stalfos, Goriyas) from A Fairytale Princess, grabbed some of my Little Hero tiles
and drawn some new ground tiles for the new 5Char Quest Sandbox, that I wanna create.

...mysterious family crests

[Bagu]

Some are just fillers (and unfinished) ...others are killers

It's for the multichar-item table.
...the 1-6 are a kind of unscripted "pseudo"extra item class >>Staffs<< (non magic, just melee attack wands)
...the other are the true wands.

Some of them will get scripted abilities, other will just deal DAMAAAAGEEE.

The Staffs are the "Wooden Laddle, Silver Spoon, Golden Spoon, the Pilgrim Staff, Shaman Staff and Druid Staff"

...the wands are not all named, yet.
One of them will surely become a Dream Rod item (like I made it for AFP)
...another could be a time wand (cycling trough all screen enemies and stunning em unless a assingend flag is set)...

if any one wants to grab 1 or 2 (or more! )
...fell free to use them

...here in the original size



(open in paint etc and place properly before loading and grabbing)

Oh, yeah
...Thanks to Emily, for accomplishing my "Ten-Year-Minimum" feature request, overnight.
...it allows much easier Subscreen Setup for RPG Quests.

I took a break from designing my next dungeon to do some overworld design.

[Aslion]

[Bagu]

wrote a simple debug code, to handle the general zc "screen-corner-scrolling-crash" problem.

4 function lines, kill all fatal ZC-Player crashes, caused by corner scrolling.
It's in the database, so check it out and leave a rating.

build open wide willows, deserts, lakes etc, without being afraid of Players, who will check out the corner limits, too much.
(should work in almost every ZC version)

I created the first draft of a forest. Also, planned out a story for this thing.

I've been working on making the rooms more interesting in the 1st quest remake with BS Zelda graphics, and modifying the palettes and stuff.
