Ah, I see. Well, Probably won't work because the player will be moving jumping up on to platforms above ground. Now sure about the blinkx thing... Where can I find it? Also, I've run into another problem. I decided to re-visit the wall-jump feature, and I was able to get it to work, for most part, b...

Dang... Dark blue is already being used for the border and such. (Like in the Encyclopedia's example) Evening and night levels are a go. Also I assume the player can't jump super high, so you might be able to get away with a fade to light cyan. Where it won't matter what type of blocks are at that h...

I have a question that will have an impact on the game's graphics. Does a cyan solid-fakes exist? I need them for the sky background, and I tried dark-cyan solid-fakes, but they make the game look gloomy. Right now, I'm using the normal cyan fakes with dark-cyan background, and it's okay, I guess, b...

Mario Brothers ZZT in progress

The game I am currently working on is Mario Brothers ZZT, and it should be my first to contribute to the community. It will of course be side scrolling, so expect a bugs-o-rama, unless I can help it! NOTICE: The only reason I'm naming it Mario Brothers is because you place as Mario and Luigi. It is ...

Alright, the crying is over. First, I tried running it in compatibility mode for Windows 95, and it was a natta.

So I downloaded it again, and it works. The sound also seems to work (For now), so I won't be letting DOSbox touch my ZZT any time soon.

I'm mounting it, like so: Z:\mount c c:\zzt Z:\c: C:\ZZT.exe C:\ That last one is all I get when I try to open it. And no, I haven't moved it around... Sort of. It actually used to be under my C:\unzipped folder, but when it wasn't working, I copied it up to C:\ just to see if that would fix it. It'...

It's version 0.72... Juts downloaded it yesterday.
I didn't say the sound didn't work (The sound usually doesn't work when I run it without DOSbox or anything), just that the game won't start at all with or without DOSbox now. And I wouldn't know where to start with the configuration.

Argh!
Now, not only DOSbox not run it, but when I try to run it the regular way, and just deal with the bad sound, I just get a message that says "C:\zzt\zzt.exe is not a valid Win32 application."

I downloaded DOSbox, and I could run Commander Keen on it, but I can't seem to get it to run ZZT.

Both are interesting ideas... But Nadir's is simpler. I may use it, at least in some places. I am also experiencing a problem with the sound. When I run ZZT on Windows XP, most of the time, all sounds are just various clicks and ticks. Can I fix this problem? BTW, here's a BIG warning: I hardly ever...

I'm assuming this is the place to introduce myself, but since new members are so rare, you guys have all cluttered up the thread with worthless garbage.... I approve. I am rather new to these forums, but I am definitely not new to ZZT. I've been playing with it for maybe 5 years, but have only recen...
