Thank you so much!!! 

So. It's been a while for me.. life happened and stuff.

But I have a question in an overwhelming Zelda oriented site and program.

Does anyone know how I can extract sprites from the SNES gamerom to use in Solaris?

I've been playing Lufia 2 as of late again and it gave me the idea to work on such a game.

Or better yet. If anyone can help me get the game_manager.lua sorted out. No matter what I do I get errors in either main.lua or no error but also no game. I am quite unsure on what to do here.

Since I am rather blind to many words (not literally) I can't see it anymore after a few minutes.

I did copy the files as described above, I did get my starting location right (it works when not working with this code) and I'm just unsure right now.

-- Script that creates a game ready to be played.

-- Usage:
-- local game_manager = require("scripts/game_manager")
-- local game = game_manager:create("savegame_file_name")
-- game:start()

local dialog_box_manager = require("scripts/menus/alttp_dialog_box")
local hud_manager = require("scripts/hud/hud")

local game_manager = {}

-- Sets initial values for a new savegame of this quest.
local function initialize_new_savegame(game)

  -- TODO
   game:set_starting_location("maps/Houses/link", "start")

  -- Initially give 3 hearts
  game:set_max_life(12)
  game:set_life(game:get_max_life())
end

-- Creates a game ready to be played.
function game_manager:create(file)

  -- Create the game (but do not start it).
  local exists = sol.game.exists(file)
  local game = sol.game.load(file)
  if not exists then
    -- This is a new savegame file.
    initialize_new_savegame(game)
  end

  local hud

  -- Function called when the player runs this game.
function game:on_started()
    hud = hud_manager:create(game)
  end

  -- Returns whether the HUD is currently shown.
  function game:is_hud_enabled()
    return hud:is_enabled()
  end

  -- Enables or disables the HUD.
  function game:set_hud_enabled(enable)
    return hud:set_enabled(enable)
  end

  -- Return the HUD.
  function game:get_hud()
    return hud
  end

  -- Returns whether the current map is in the inside world.
  function game:is_in_inside_world()
    return self:get_map():get_world() == "inside_world"
  end

  -- Returns whether the current map is in the outside world.
  function game:is_in_outside_world()
    return self:get_map():get_world() == "outside_world"
  end
return game
end
return game_manager


I'll have this HUD up and running soon.   
Where should I post this if anyone else wants the zsdx HUD?
I will be using the Mercurious chest code clean-up update.
Just the HUD code not anything else.
There are quite a few pipes* to hookup before it will be serviceable.

*Pipes: (What I like to call the calls and functions and required elements.)

If your offer is still valid, perhaps an updated version, I'd be very interested.
I am not much of a coder myself so it's very hard to even extract the codes when they're right in front of me. On the other hand, I am a visual kind of person so the game I am working on already looks quite nice but just misses the hud (hearts, magic meter, rupees, items).

Thanks.
