Title says it all. I need a copy of the Z3 scrolling, if anyone can get me it, I will be very joyuful.

'The Z3 Scrolling'?

You mean 'the screen scrolling script which no-one has written?'

[Marco]

Here. Unless if he did some cheap move and made it seem possable to do, then here.

"The script doesn't contain anything fancy like collision or such, it's just a plain scrolling background that keeps Link and his projectiles' positions consistent. "

Video description says it. Also, this code is made in a old beta.

Most likely, the only possible smooth scrolling script is in blue_knight's Zelda 2 quest, and Gleeok's starshooter upcoming quest.

Not only that, but the code for the scrolling is excruciatingly slow.

You know, Blue_knight has a sidescrolling script, and he said he will release the Z3 movement script when he's finished. We just have to be patient and wait.

The reason my script didn't have collision and such is because I didn't bother to implement it. It would certainly be possible to extend my script to be more "complete", but it seems blue_knight has beaten me to the punch

Personally, I think it's just a bit more trouble than it's worth, but then again, I didn't have delusions of remaking Zelda 2 so perhaps I just wasn't ambitious enough.

They aren't delusions - the quest and demo are coming along nicely.

Its been awhile since I looked at jman's the script code - but it was really only for demonstration purposes - you'd need to modify it a lot to make it useful for a real quest. I'm sure he could do it if he wanted to spend the time - but really you'd need to code it in context of a real quest to understand all the little things you need to handle. And this is why I haven't released it already - I want to make sure its fast and useful when I do. And I'll need to put together a large tutorial on how to use it as well, for example: how do you handle items, make enemies, handle combo flags, etc.

The good news is that I tried my demo on a 900Mhz eeMachine (mini-computer, low-end processor) and it still ran well - so it is practical if you code it right.

Z3 scrolling huh. You mean something like this: http://www.youtube.c...h?v=hL7BBtLcVFY

[Gleeok]

I posted the script here if anyone wants to take a look at it: http://www.armageddo...threadid=105287

It is a WIP though...Or a WNIP I should say....

[Christian]

that was awesome gleeok!

is the script usable? or no?

[Weasels]

I tried, everything got real glitchy...

[Gleeok]

Huh, why is that? The script assumes that it is going to be used by someone that knows ZScript and can modify it a little, so it's basically useless to you if don't. I posted it as proof that you could do it and that it is not nearly as hard as everyone was saying. (Okay okay it'sstill an ugly Z1 hack job no matter yada yada...)

It certainly has an upside however! If you use it for a boss screen then everything is pretty much scripted for you!! -exept the boss that is.


PS- if it was glitchy try setting Link on a BLANK screen. Perception is reality, as they say.
