Yeah, I've officially given up on that heap of shit. Check the newly uploaded stuff. Update it, fix it, whatever. It's VB6 and not commented, very sloppy, but if you can read it, you may get a better understanding of how ZZT works. I hereby announce my withdrawal from the ZZT scene entirely. The End...

I'll be the "very-annoying-but-still-somewhat-cool" dragon. Wewt.

it'll never catch on, and confuse more newbies, like this board does.

if you want to know something interesting, someone's actually already DONE this. I was part of the test project, not sure who it was done by. I was just there to log onto his server and play and walk around. Nothing special. Someone tell me who did this, I forgot :\

I say if editors are gonna end up like that with the % or whatever, it sounds like it's evolving towards the confusing world of MZX. Besides, ZZT's only gotten this far because of the lack of those features and the creativity of the people who created games for it.

That's kind of what I was looking for, but I've got so much documentation on the ZZT format that I found out while I was programming the project that I really do think I've found out most of what's inside. I did, however, use that encyclopedia to figure out a few board elements, but in the end I do ...

whut tf.

What's the real topic. seriously. I'm confused.

Gentlemen of the forums, I have a dream of a place where a person can go and act completely retarded without any consequence. A place where he can say anything he desires, without fear of it following you around in the future. I, unfortunately, am a victim of forums that are taken too seriously. I ...

If it helps, there's a very meticulous, well-written ZZM parser in KevEdit, here: http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.py/kevedit/kevedit/synth/ The relevent files are notes.c/h which defines a format-independent note-chain structure and zzm.c/h which actually parses ZZM into the note-chain structure...

Okay, I've made up my mind:

* Clean up the scroll-view code. It is a little messy and inefficient as of now.
* Add a ZZM player/ripper.
* Add support for saving games.
* Return the old ZZT sidebar on the right.

I would post a full feature list about what's already there, but it's a bit long...

I suppose I could re-code some stuff to get the ZZT sidebar back, things seem to be getting a little crowded anyhow.

Yeah, then we'd have fewer reviews containing "I can't rate the sound because I can't get ZZT sound to work." Apparently you guys haven't tried ZZTxp, or you have something way ancient... here's the link for the latest: http://zzt.org/upload//ZZTexperienceBETA13.zip (and yes, I'll be chan...

Well, here's the catch. It has to work in the confines of the ZZT file format. That means, if the ZZT file format can't do it, then I can't. Don't suggest saving games, as it's already near perfection. I've been working on this project only 5 months, it's gone far, but school is back and it's haunti...

Oh yes, I forgot to mention this, but this thread should also double as a Feature Request thread, I don't want to start a third thread for this kind of thing. I'm running out of ideas for features for ZZTxp, so I want you to suggest some good ideas. Not all ideas will be in ZZTxp unless they're reas...
