Open Zelda is being risen from the grave

An alpha testing version for anyone who wants to try what's new on the new Open Zelda's Quest Designer.

+ This new version still needs to find the old QD at the same old location: C:\qd\Quest Designer 2.1.4
+ There was a major bug that prevented the game files loading on some systems, now it should be corrected.
+ This release has support for zipped files. For instance, you could zip the whole "Sprite Sheets" directory content into a zip file named "Sprite Sheets" without the ".zip" extension and completly delete the ss directory to leave the zip file at: C:\qd\Quest Designer 2.1.4\Sprite Sheets
+ Now it is ussing CodeSense for script editing, CS is a better library than CodeMax with support for many other features. (still working on the IntelliSense like behavior)
+ An small initial help file has been added for testing purposes, with only a few OZ API functions documentated. Still need to merge with lukex's help files.
+ The sound engine has been added and now is working wih IT, MIDI, MOD, WAV, MP3, OGG support!... read more

We feel it is our duty to also document every part of the project so nothing gets lost in time while programming. It has been decided that documentation will play an important role while allowing everyone to familiarize with the source code and eventually find, trace and even correct bugs and errors on the design or the code.... read more

The first part of the Open Zelda project involves the complete rewrite of the Quest Designer.

Currently we are working on the architecture and design of QD, and already programming a solid foundation to lay the whole application.

At this point of the process we are getting closer to publish a start in the CVS!
