Haha, then you are lucky we release UP3 for you this Wednesday, because, as you see the Patch 3 Notes in the "NEWS FEED" section (of the first page here in the PZE's forum), you will see that among the fixes UP3 provides to Project Zelda Engine, there is a fix for the Script is Hanging Error. Just wait until Wednesday and it will be fixed! I can't wait to hear your opinion when this Wednesday you play PZE! I really hope you like it! :clap:

:clap: EXCELLENT NEWS! :clap: The Update Patch #3 is coming this Wednesday 21 September 2011! Also: The Update Patch #4 is planned for release between December 2011 and February 2012!

News: The Project Zelda Engine, from now, will have a much better and updated logo at the first page of PZE's forums, which reflects the engine's full potentials and true capabilities at offering the players the chance to prove their game-creation skills and create their own outstanding Zelda games! :) The new logo of Project Zelda Engine - the Zelda Starter Kit:

Well, there will be some Boss sprites in Project Zelda Engine, as we plan to create some dungeon bosses for the players to test in the engine. Those bosses can be used by the gamers as example for the creation of even more bosses for their Zelda games..

Just I noticed that I have some time to post any news about our progress with Project Zelda Engine. Just in case you wanna know, in Project Zelda Engine, we are doing a good process and are improving several aspects of the engine. Here is a picture of the new and improved File Display screen (where Load/start a new game), which now it is much more improved than before :) And a more recent picture:

Excellent! Simply excellent! Emily, you have my full support! I am a big fan of the Zelda games too, and with a team, we created a Zelda Starter Kit. It contains many sprites and graphics from the Zelda Games. If you wanna use it, feel free - we want no credits at all! The important is that we help the people with their own games, with as many resources as possible! You can find the Zelda Starter Kit here: http://www.rmxpunlimited.net/forums/topic/7044-the-project-zelda-engine-aka-zelda-starter-kit-with-download-links-pictures/ With love, a big Zelda fan!

Hehe, first of all our priority is to update the Action Battle System of Project Zelda Engine, and then we will see :)

Very strange. Can you give us more info of what happens? Just the game closes? Without warnings or errors? Try this beta version of the upcoming update patch 3. It has much faster loading time. Try it and let me know if it works for you :) http://www.4shared.com/file/AEkplzik/The_Legend_of_Zelda__Project_Z.html

Aye :)

Ahhhh, you get the same error as the other players. It will be fixed with the upcoming Update Patch 3. In meantime, just open the game, go to Script Editor, scroll down the list of scripts until you find the "Credits" script. Here, in the first lines of the Credits script, change the font type from "Default" to "" (empty). You are done. Save and run the game. Enjoy! :)

Hehe, interesting news here. While I am not someone who yells that the Zelda games are the best in the world - even if I believe it or not :D - I found something interesting: the world's most popular 43 videogame magazines/websites from many countries in the world, (at least 32 of 43 in total) rank the Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time as the #1 Best Game of All Time in the list of the top 8 best games in the world... All the magazines of the world rank which games are the best games of the world: http://www.filibustercartoons.com/games.htm OVERALL RANKINGS (all the 43 videogame magazines:) 1 The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time (32 out of 43) 2 Super Mario 64 (26 out of 43) 3 Tetris (25 out of 43) 4 The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past (19 out of 43) 5 Street Fighter II (18 out of 43) 5 James Bond: Goldeneye 007 (18 out of 43) 6 Super Mario World (14 out of 43) 7 Final Fantasy VII (13 out of 43) 7 Resident Evil 4 (13 out of 43) 8 Final Fantasy III / VI (12 out of 43) 8 Super Metroid (12 out of 43)

Hehe, aye, we are deeply sorry for the lags in the Project Zelda Engine, and we have found what was the cause of it (3 different text outline scripts running at same time.) Out team fixed it and optimized it. And soon, the new version of PZE with the lags addressed, will be released to the public! :) Here is a beta of the upcoming update (not released in public yet, its just only a beta), which gives a taste of the performance improvements (over +20 FPS), in case you wanna try it: http://www.4shared.com/file/AEkplzik/The_Legend_of_Zelda__Project_Z.html Tested on over 7 different PCs, and the results are very pleasing! :D EDIT: kellessdee, you will, also, in that beta archive I am giving to you, have a tast of the new menus by Night_Runner! You can navigate from one menu to other by pressing PAGE UP / PAGE DOWN and you can Zoom-in/Zoom-out the high-resolution World Map with the SPACEBAR key! Enjoy! :D

I have created as many item sprites for the Project Zelda Engine as possible, inspired by the items seen in several Legend of Zelda games. Here I am showing you a comparison of the sprites of items, (made by me), with the real items seen in the Nintendo's official Zelda games! I hope you like them :D

Excellent news!!! With the upcoming Update Patch #3: The Inventory Screen, the Equipment Screen, the Map Screen and the Quest Status Screen have been improved with HDR (High Dynamic Range) and Posterization effects! When I get time, I will update the first page's old photos with the new ones. The Inventory Screen's weapon icons have been released! Over 60+ Icons for weapons, items, masks and bottles, in .png file format, with very good quality, and their size is 38x36. Download link: http://www.mediafire.com/?ap2v0f7g8o7zak2 The archive contains over 60+ new icons, including improvements to existing icons:

Welcome! :D We thank you for your comments! Your comments always inspire us to continue. We are a team with scripter, mapper, eventer, etc, which is international (the members of Project Zelda Engine's Developing Team are from Latin America, Australia and Europe.). We are not planning anything for VX, as since Enterbrain scrapped away the way tilesets work, it is pretty difficult to create a Zelda Engine for it. RPG Maker XP, despite being older than VX, is more friendly in terms of mapping and covers better the needs of a Zelda game. Thank you again! :) We will keep updating the topic, about upcoming changes and features of the Engine, etc. Everyone is welcomed to tell us his critic or his approval of the Project Zelda Engine. The Project Zelda Engine also has pages, on 4 other websites, outside of RMXP Unlimited.net, just to help people and gamers find it easier :)

Project Zelda Engine: The Zelda Starter Kit A Zelda game creator - it lets you create your own nostalgic Zelda games! If you liked and loved the Project Zelda Engine, please support Nintendo and the official Zelda games! Thanks! Recruitment: For those of you that ever wanted to be a part of the team - Here's your chance! The PZE Team is in much need of Ruby Scripters, and XAS ABS Eventers, but not so much on Mappers or Artists. If you have any experience with XAS ABS 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.
