ay, very much so, with out N_R where would we be?

He's maybe the most important person of the team, not that we forgot you N_R, just it's a bit obvious as to who is doing the majority of the hard work(Scripting).

I forgot completely this picture - my Minish Cap remake, 3 years ago, in PZE.



Uploaded with ImageShack.us

Well, I think that the most important person in a team is the team in general ^^, because all team member have a strict work for the Engine ( like making a tileset, or scripting, or make pictures for PZE ...)
But I admit that scripting is the most difficult thing to do in a video game



Does this is the 1st release of PZE ? I think that was a very old release

lol I never released this. This was my game made with PZE, not PZE itself.

hey silent are you still on dial up?

Yep, in 2 days I could have the ADSL in use. Why?

new demo with new scripts, but it will be a bit big

Send it to me send it to me send it to me!!!

ok i pulled the audio out so just make sure you add that, plus the "mini dungeon isn't fully functional, you can walk through walls, as well as teleport doesn't work, you'll see what i mean, although it works fine in the demo I downloaded, I'm guessing this is conflict with the scripts, XASABS will probably resolve the problem, but for now, I hope you agree that these new scripts should be added.

looking at another script rq

Quest Status Screen fix
When Chakanevil posted the Quest Status Screen, I found a small color contrast on the bar that links the slot for Kokiri Emerald with the slot for Goron Ruby. Now it is fixed:
Also the Octagon (the cycle around the Triforce, which runs through all the medallion slots) now is more round than before.



EDIT: also some fixes on the other screens:

Inventory Screen fix
Fixed the contrast of light and dark blue in the left-most side of the window, right below the left arrow.


Equipment Screen fix
Fix for the top side and top-right corner of the screen which had darker tones, which comes in antithesis with the Inventory Screen's same positions. Now this has been corrected


Now the screens are 100% perfect I think.

Chakanevil, what about uploading some picture samples of the screen gray background transparency? Upload the screens, this time with a picture of the game placed behind them, so people can see how transparent the screens are?

sure just a second

Did you planned to add a Map Screen ?

Yes as well as a Mask and Save Game Screens

Good news, so, I'm glad to make a 2D Majora's Mask

Hmmmmmm ... Chakanevil or SilentSlayer, do you think that a HUD like that is possible ? (I will try this with the Update 3)

It is not so simple to move then in UP3, and it takes very long time to re-arrange their positions on the screen due to the way the HUD was working so far.
But I recommend you waiting for UP4 instead of trying that yourself, because the HUD in UP4 is gonna be re-arranged anyways, to match the HUD of Ocarina of Time and Majora's Mask.

Ok, waiting for Update 4

i can not get one script to work, it's the zeriab's caterpillar script, I'm guessing it has to do with the 8 way movement scrips or pixel movement, we need this such as when princess zelda is behind you and pushes the bookcase in LTTP.

Also as a request to Silent.



I think silent, that it would be weird to have link in the back ground of the Equipment screen, i suggest making the script remove the sprite when the menu is called and replacing it when it is canceled, since on the tile link will show, having a sprite in the background looks weird.

The hud will not be shown when the menu is called btw.

I like this set up, I think this is how UP4 should look

It may look.

I could prefer to make the gray background even less transparent instead of removing Link.... because in the zelda games, Link can still be seen behind the pause menus. So better make gray less transparent so Link no longer distracts us

EDIT: Seems to be a pretty useful script. Well, before you playtest with it, make sure you have a backup of it, so we send it intact to N_R who may give it a look after he is done with XASABS and Update Patch 4 stuff. I think we save this script for the end of UP4, or leave it for UP5 as the UP4 is the hardest and most tedious patch so far, which takes long time to finish, has lots of scripting work, and has so many changes occurring at same time: changes to File Display Screen (after Title Menu), changes to HUD, changes to Pause Menus and Inventories, changes to the way the map functions, changes to... oh well, UP4 is sooo big - we better leave this script for after we are done with the more prioritized plans for UP4

EDIT2: I am afraid to burden our dear NR even more. He got so much work - and he is a site moderator - I am understanding that he wants to help the community and I prefer to not give him more work right when he is already busy with the XASABS thing. For this reason I am thinking of asking Derula for a little assistance - just discussing with him a possible hire to PZE's team for some work in exchange for a little price The only problem is that I don't have Bank account, and due to the Greek Dept crisis, is very unlikely that my parents are willing to open a Bank account for me to send the money to Derula. As we said, I am looking for some ways to pay him in exchange. Yes, he offered to help us, but he is a great scripter of his class, one of the best ones I seen around, plus he is already pretty busy with his scripts and content, so I prefer a good reason to hire him

EDIT3: And I feel it could be nicier if reward NR with some money as well, as he deserves it for ALL the help he has done for us in the past 3 years - a non-stop hard work.

Derula would be an awesome asset to PZE, from the way you talk he does seem really talented, another scripter would help lessen the load, so Derula won't you consider having you name on perhaps the best Zelda engine to come, you can use your creative mind to do all sorts of things, I have to say that myself never find a dull moment in the creation of this engine.

I agree that he would be an awesome asset to PZE.

And it is nice to hear that you never find a dull moment in the creation of this engine.

Our goal is:
Implement the 100% of the Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time's features to PZE
Implement the 100% of the Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask's features to PZE
Implement the 100% of the Legend of Zelda: Minish Cap's features to PZE
Implement the 100% of the Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Ages and Seasons's features to PZE
Implement the 100% of the Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening Deluxe's features to PZE

and in a lesser extend, implement some elements from other Zelda games not listed above.

Think how epic it would be to switch from zelda LLTP to Minish cap mode, shrinking would be awesome, I hope to see this in UP4.5 or UP5

Have you tried the demo yet

How much is his price? I'd help you guys out financially if you need it, however if you're in a rush you'll have to wait. I lost my job 6 days ago and I'm moving to another town to try and find work elsewhere.

250Euro/hour (kidding lol)

We had a small discuss about this just a little time ago - I can say that the last thing he wants is money - he is not motivated by money (and of course I never expected that he is motivated by money - just thought it will help as with other cases where a team needs more scripters to lessen the load of work). He is more motivated by the actual work on the project and by offering him an artistic hand (help with graphics) in his project could make it pretty fair deal for him to offer us a scripting hand to our project.

I am not sure yet what I will do. First of all need see where exactly I will need his help and then I will ask him and he will see how he can help.

added new files to dropbox!

Gonna install it lol



Dodongo08, you said you are French, don't you? Can you help contact a guy called Alexcalibur who can be found in these forums?:
http://rpgcreative.net/forum/viewtopic.php...a125c18#p208217

Nevermind, I registered and I am able to contact him.

OK, I have sent the following PM to Alexcalibur in behalf of our team:

Edit, ignore that, it was an image that threw me off

AlexCalibur21

Aye, that's nice! A such good artist

he has awesome artwork

Here's some of his artwork

Hello everybody!
I know a little Alexcalibur (I worked for his project with him) so maybe I can help you. I don't know if he replied you but since a long time, he didn't give news. I'm registered in RPG Creative and I can tell you that he didn't log in since december 2010... If you want I can talk with him by MSN to announce him your request.

PS: I know that my English isn't very good... XD

Hello dear Zido. Any help is always welcomed! Well, basically we don't "need" that desperately the Alexcalibur's help - just we believe that an extra person's hand is always welcomed, useful, and pretty handy, as we all are Zelda fans who love the Legend of Zelda game series - and we aim into satisfying the growing gaming community
If are you able to contact him, feel free doing so - I myself visited his profile in those forums and it says he logged in 24 hours ago (that was yesterday - today it says he logged in 2 days ago, but maybe I am wrong).

We really wish people who are inspired by our work, are willing to join us and contribute in any way they find better

Wanna share with us your experience on working wiht him on his projects? It was zelda games, I guess? Or something else?


EDIT: Ohhh you are right. He has to visit the forums since 2010... And the "last visit: 24 hours ago" I saw, was from his Youtube account link I think.

So yes, I could be so glad if can you come in contact with him in behalf of our team, I could be very thankful!

It was a very small contribution I mapped his water temple for Zelda Hymn of Darkness...

The game was developed on RPG Maker XP, right? The fact that his game was on RPG Maker XP inspires me The fact that RPG Maker XP created more than one Zelda-Game-Creation-Engines is really a nice thing to know .


In an engine Alexcalibur himself developed or he did used a starter kit or something similar to this as a basis?

I think he developed it himself but when I mapped for his game, I couldn't see the scripts

ok, what matters is that it was on RPG Maker XP. That matters, nothing else

Let us know after you come into a contact with Alex

Okay, I will contact AlexCalibur ^^ but zido says that he is not connected since december 2010, but ... Well, I try in RPG Creative or/and Youtube^^
EDIT : Mission Accomplished, I send to AlexCalibur an E-Mail via Youtube ^^
EDIT 2 : I'm going to change the basic "Time Flow" of PZE Update 3 to implent the M'sM clock system ...
Zido, please read this :
Tu est bien le co-developpeur de ce jeu ?
Mais vu que y'a que toi qui peu parler a Alex via MSN, a toi de jouer

Dodongo08 -> Je ne sais pas tellement si on peut dire que je suis co-développeur vu le peu que j'ai fait pour ce jeu ^^' sinon ok dès que je le vois connecté sur MSN je lui parelerai.

EDIT: So I do not know if we can say that I am co-developer saw the little I have done for this game ^ ^ 'if not ok when I see him I logged onto MSN Parelli. Please use English on the forum, even if you have to use it through a translator like this. ~ Redd

Dude, this is a english speaking forum, not a french speaking. If you are going to post, do it in english please

Keep in mind that the UP4 will feature the new Majora's Mask clock system anyways...

News: Tomorrow, Wednesday, I am gonna release the next Screen for Project Zelda Engine!: The Mask Screen!

But I am unable to decide which color I shall use for the screen.
Some teammates find the red color pretty fine for the Mask Screen's windowskin, while I think that the purple color also fits well.
Before I continue developing the Mask Screen, what is your opinion, guys? Purple or Red? Or something else? (as long as it is not Blue, Green, or Yellow, as those 3 colors are already in use by the Inventory, Equipment and Quest Status Screens).

So, guys, which color do you think fits better for Mask Screen? Which is a more "carnival-ish" color? The Purple or the Red?
(Please don't ask to use the tan color the Mask Screen of Majora's Mask had, as we want the PZE to have a better variety of colors for each of its menus)
Thank you for your response.

I'd say use Purple. Majora's mask was a purple mask anyway wasn't it? Seems more fitting to me.

I said purple too,
it will fit better with the masks...

since map is red, I have to say purple as well.

Yes map is a red/brownie color.

any new screens?

Yes mate, today Wednesday, as I said above, on my previous comment.

EDIT: This is offtopic, has nothing to do with the forums

Let's make it simple.

Wii.
Wii controller.
Wii Motion Plus plugs into the bottom of the controller (You may have noticed a usb plug there)
Game
Nunchuck Controller. (Possibly optional, dunno. I'm not really interested in Skyward sword.)
