Heh, thanx for the positive reply guys, I knew a lot of people loved that old game, but wow! Seems almost everyone knows of Zelda 3. As for emulating, me 2, I don't wanna have to hook up an old console that has been collecting dust at the far side of the attic for years to re-play Zelda, so I use an emulator - all completely legal

Anyhow, I'm at home when I'm meant to be somewhere else, must run like #### lol
L8rz

Hypos = Hearts
Speed boots = Pegasus boots
Fed Ammo = small potion
Other Ammo = Large potion
Guns = Different swords/wands/boomerang

Um what else.....

I finally checked out your map, WadeV.  It's pretty cool!  But here's some suggestions:

1)  Put in your 'readme' file that you need the EF Expansion Pack to play your map.  I don't have it installed and a LOT of the textures didn't show up.

2)  Recompile your map using the Full Light option.  It looks like you compiled your map but didn't compile any light into it (which is probably why it looks so bright).  If you DID compile lighting in your map and you have a bazillion lights in your map to light it up so bright, you should lower their intensity.  A lot of textures come off as being 'white' instead of having any texture color at all.  It also looks like you compiled your map using FastVis.  Recompile your map with the FullVis option and you can squeak out a few more FPS.  Oh, I know that there weren't a lot of light sources or shadows in the original Zelda game but adding some shadows and realistic lighting would be a cool artistic touch for your map!

3)  It's OK to betatest your map on your own computer while you map it, but it's always a good idea to test it on a friend's PC before you distribute it.  You can find a lot of distribution errors that are hard to find when you only test your map on your own computer.  If you play your map on your mapping computer, you'll always have access to all of the textures, sounds and music used in your map.  But if you test your map on a friend's computer, you can find out what files you forgot to include into your .pk3 file because they simply won't be there on your friend's computer.  For example, I always find stuff I forgot to include in my .pk3 file when I test it on my wife's computer.  I usually forget about some textures, sounds or music.  Hit the 'tilde' key to look in the EF console and see what errors appear while you play your map.  I didn't have the zelda music for your map, so I had to play it in silence (and I was looking forward to some Zelda tunes, too! ).

4)  Look for overlapping brushes in your .map file.  I noticed some flickering textures (like around the tree hole entering Kokiri Village, ladders, etc. ) , and they're usually caused by two brushes being on top of each other.  Pull the brushes off of each other so they're adjacent but not overlapping, and you'll get rid of the flickering.

Hope those suggestions help.  Your map is already pretty good, but it definitely has the potential to become awesome!

Good luck in your other maps.  Nintendo rox!

Nagus, I have never released a Zelda map before, that was Ensign Kim's map! If you've got SG4Real2 and SGEGypt, they're my maps and you won't find many overlapping brushes there and I think you'll see the lighting is quite accurate in those 2 maps
