Glossary

You can take a look at a glossary of enemies and their names at www.zeldaclassic.com

All right, C-Dawg; please don't do this.. It's just totally stupid, and spoils the entire damn thread.

Moving to ZC Quest Editor Help.

Is there a glossary of terms associated with ZQuest anywhere?

It's something that would help newbies like myself.

Also zquest.txt has come with ZC for quite a while now and is also integrated into the help options etc->...

Oh man 2002 documentation was sorely lacking! :p
Ahh.. the good 'ol days.

I knew about the enemy list. I was looking for terms like:
Pallet, Combo, Sprite, Flags, Under Combo, Screen Combo, etc.

[wileee]

Pallet - Where Ness lives
-I looked at the enemy list and Ness wasn't listed there.

Combo - A deli sandwich with three kinds of psuedomeat on it
-Mmmmmm Sandwich....too bad Link only eats Heart.

Sprite - A small forest elf that sometimes visits my pants
-I've seen Faries in Zelda but I haven't seen a Sprite yet

Flags - Pieces of fabric tied to the top of long poles so that the wind makes them flag upright.
-Is that anything like when a maiden ties her scarf to the javolin of her champion? I've seen them do that in movies but haven't seen any jousting in Zelda.

Under Combo - Usually where your plate or some wax paper is.
-Damn, that's cool. I usually just get one of those stupid plastic baskets

Screen Combo - To have someone else taste your combo to make sure it isnt poisoned.
-I should start doing that because you just can't trust anyone these days.

Thanks for the help C-Dawg.
Some other terms I was wondering about are:
Misc Data, Header, String, Path, and Guy.

If anyone else has some terms they don't understand C-Dawg and I are compiling a list.

Seriously I just thought a glossary would be useful.

Maybe this will help. It's the help file for beta 149.

Pallette - a batch of colors, basically
Combo - I've tried every definition in mind, and the actual one escapes me; I know combo types, like push, etc., but the actual definition of Combo escapes me
Sprite - Link, Ganon, and any other moving character in the game
Flags - change what happens with a certain tile on a certain screen; i.e. an enemy appears at this flag, or a stair appears at another after blowing the Whistle at a third, etc.
Under Combo - what appears under a tile that contains a secret.; for instance, moving a rock reveals bare ground
Screen Combo - I must be going dumb; I don't recall this one

Misc Data - If I am thinking correctly, it's all of the extra info used for tiles, etc. on a screen; I'll look this up
Header - Quest info; type your name, quest version, password...
String - what you see in a cave
Path - are we talking computer talk here, or am I missing something?
Guy - the idiot (or smart person, whatever) who says the strings in a cave
