Thanks, but I'm searchine the title screen with "The Legend of Zelda : Majora's Mask", I've searched everywhene in the script database but I cannot find this.

Just a question : Did you planned to finish the Time System in the Update 4s Final Release ? And what about Link's Voice ?

I find this question rather silly and pointless, as it is obvious that the demo you got in your hands was merely 80% finished (as I noted already) and that the final version of PZE will (obviously) have finished content.

NR - You know about quoting

It's nice, and I suggested a translation script under options in the past rather than having to set the language manually a script could do french, german, spanish, and japanese, perhap more, of course this may be limited to just menu text, as translations can mistranslate in game text.

I will thanks the full Project Zelda Engine's Team for this beatiful work, you made several customisations ( turn event to script ) and now, I can say that the PZE is the most advanced RMXP engine we can found in the net.
EDIT : I've planned to "remake" the Farmer's suit from Twilight Princess for my Project ... Tell me if you like it

Thats pretty impressive. It's been dead so I'd thought I'd revive this forum.

Excuse me, I missed the phrase "Tell me if you like it " - so I apologize - yeah I like it a lot! Nice job you have done on Link ^^

[Chakanevil]

just wondering, why is it bad to quote if you able to o the site?

[SilentResident]

Good Morning everyone! Today is 15 July 2012.

We made progress on the engine and we proudly accomplished many new achievements on the Engine.

I am totally impressed with the nice work done so far.

--------------------------------
20+ Bugs fixed!
We corrected over 20+ bugs, both visual and technical bugs, and now anything, at least anything we playtested so far, works perfectly.
Bugs we addressed include the weapon ones, such as Bomb Explosion Pushback glitch, Bow Animation Loop glitch, and more.
and also the "Night of X Day" message is now set to be displayed ONLY when the Clock Mode is set to Majora's Mask Mode.

--------------------------------
File Display Screen is now complete!
Also we are giving the finishing touches to the File Display Screen and the result is simple, yet beautiful:


--------------------------------
Animation tones unaffected by Screen Color Tones
Also, thanks to a new script, the animations (any animations we want to) can now be placed onto a special Layer which keeps them unaffected by any Screen Color Tone changes on a map or cutscene! This is handy for the Ocarina songs which can look pretty ugly if played during the nighttime, etc.


--------------------------------
Displaying Music Notes in Menu
We created a very simple way of displaying the Music Notes for your songs in the Quest Status Screen.
As you see, the notebar in Quest Status Screen will display the notes you put in the Description Field for that particular Song in Items Database:



For example the Goron's Lullaby consists of the following notes in the following sequence: A, Right, Left. A, Right, Left, Right, A. And so, we put in the Song's description field: ARLARLRA and the notes will be displayed in the menu! Enjoy!

--------------------------------
Automated Season Indicator!
We also, finally, are done with the Season Change mechanism.
Now, Link is fully animated when he spins the rod of Seasons around him, and also the Seasoned Tree Stump works like charm so you shouldn't stuck at it when you climb it!
Also we added a much better Season Indicatorin UP4, which is alot better than it was in the previous version of PZE: its fully scripted, and uses a Picture Zoom feature as it emerges in your screen for a few seconds, before it goes away.

Now the Season Indicator will be displayed in the following cases:
-when the player starts game.
-when the player changes a season.

We could set it to be displayed as player transfers from one map to another, but we found it to be too annoying and tiring. Enjoy!

--------------------------------
The Bomb Flower!
Guess what we added to the PZE!
The famous Bomb Flowers which firstly have been introduced in the Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time and since then made their appearance in various Zelda titles, return today to the Project Zelda Engine!

As soon as you pick it up, you have a limited time to carry it with you and drop it before it explodes in your hands. Isn't awesome?

--------------------------------
Walk while holding a Shield!
Another new feature we implemented to the Project Zelda Engine is Link's ability to walk while holding shield to protect himself!
So far, he was unable to walk with a shield in his hand. But thanks to Night Runner's awesome work, now Link can walk around while he holds the shield to defend himself from enemy attacks!

I am pretty sure the Zelda gamers prefer Link to be able to walk arround with his shield than standing idle in his place when he is attacked!

--------------------------------

Stay tuned for more news soon!

[SilentResident]

We worked a little more on the Bomb Flowers and now they feature a Growth Stage!:


The Bomb Flowers will regrow back to their original stage a few seconds after their previous bomb has been exploded, so you can re-use the same flowers as many times as you want. You can blow off a whole map! Very simple.
You can place as many Bomb Flowers on a map if you want, without any negative impacts to the game's performance!

Really I like those strange flowers! Zelda games that had Bomb Flowers were pretty funny! Ninty and Shigeru Miyamoto are my most favorite game creators!

Hard to believe I posted on the first page!

Edit-I can't believe my first post in this topic was 1508 posts ago. Wow

-I was Post #4 out of 1407! I feel proud of that.

I wanted to return and see how the project was since I was one of the first few to post on this topic originally.

Awesome how proud can someone be of his posts... Awesome!

Maximusmaxy has been kicked out of the PZE team.


His sudden and for long time absence from Dropbox and the team's work without any prior notification, brought us to the decision that we no longer consider Maximusmaxy a team member, and so we kicked him from the Dropbox.

We got worried for Max's longtime absence and disappearance from both the team and the forums and we thought that something bad may happened to his health or his life.

However, in a recent discovery, we found that he still is coming online in the forums (and thus probably he is ok - and that he just is ignoring us), we decided that he is no longer welcomed to the team and the Dropbox. At least not before an apology for his behavior is send to us.

Maximusmaxy has our thanks for all the help he gave to the Project Zelda Engine, we recognize his valuable contribution to the engine and we can safely assume that he indents no longer to work with us.


Good bye friend Max, and if you ever see this post, you can send us a message so we can know whats going on and accept you back to the team...


Sincerely, SR

The PZE Team is in much need of Scripters, Eventers, and Mappers, not so much on Artists.

If you have any experience with XASABS that is a plus as well.

We really do need talented scripters, and these postions are almost a guaranteed position on the team, but the level of scripting has to be a great understanding as it is pretty complex, so please understand that we can not accept basic and newly begining scripters, unless they really have a firm grasp on the ruby system.

With Max away from the scenes with no reason given and Night Runner retiring soon, and Thunder away for studies, UP4 may be the last release ever.

Silent Resident is starting to fell the pressure and is also considering retiring, so expanding the team would really uplift her spirits.

[MagitekElite]

If I could script, I would totattly offer you guys any and all my help. This is by far the most impressive kit or even project for XP I have ever seen. I think the content, detail and graphics (everything related to it!) is amazing! I wish I could do something for the team involved in this kit's creation!

I have a question though. Are there any recommend specs for this, or is it the same as the default RMXP PC requirements?

Unfortunately I don't have a minimum spec computer to test it on, but there hasn't been any changes to the core RMXP engine, so the only problem should be a bit of lag because of all the extra graphics, sound files, ect.
I'll say that the Audio file is 51.3MB, and the Graphics folder is 49.3MB, so if you do experience lag you may need to remove extra resources that you won't be using..
But I'm using a 4 year old Dell laptop, and any issues that we've had with lag have been addressed, so it's running fine on my system.

At the moment, when I run the RPG Maker program and have PZE open it uses ~91MB of ram, and running the game is somewhere around 49MB, so make sure you have enough ram to accommodate both.

Maybe I can help you as a mapper or an eventer. I have some experience in XAS and I can make some event systems for the project.

[MagitekElite]

@Night Runner:

Ah, I see. That definitely explains the "Scripts hanging" errors I get. Alright then; I'll test on another computer and thanks for the reply!

Lucky you, in UP4 there are no longer any "Script is hanging" errors
Just little patience, dear gamers until the PZE UP4 powered up by a completely new battle engine, is released!

[MagitekElite]

Oh? That sounds awesome! I can't wait for it!

I was looking around the common events and the rest of the set up. You guys really have done an amazing job on this. I can't express how awesome it is! I've been wanting to create a fanproject for Zelda for a really long time! xD

The Project Zelda Engine Update Patch 4 has almost no Common Events, is fully scripted and fully functioning, and is a new, extremely fast engine. Works perfectly and you can play this instead. And the best, you wont have any 'Scripts Hanging' errors anymore!:
Download Link to PZE UP4
http://www.mediafire.com/?bb1lj3g10t2vyal

Note - this is an EARLY version you are downloading, this means it has many bugs (but don't worry, we fixed them all, and we will release the bug-free version in some weeks from now).

Download the UP4 and check it if it is running better, and if you get any Script Hanging errors, and report back to me.

Many players already tried this demo of the Update Patch 4 and everyone loved it - everyone praised it for it's speed!
