Take X

No spellani on bandage

and shooting has become faster

Faster shooting by gunners, as that also took too long

Less HP for medics... This just took TOO long

Take IX

A few enemies have become a leetlebit stronger, as this was too easy (especially considering the EXP given for this place).

Take VIII

Aurinas are now just inventory items and there are no traders, but you'll be able to sell them to any merchant.... Of course this also means the limitations of the difficulty settings automatically apply. None of the enemies in the facility drops shilders, since the place is on the planet of Ysperon and not on Phantasar....

Crash on Aurinas

Take VII

will be pushed soon

Will be pushed soon

Repositories

Fixed More items with the same issues

Take VI

Target instruction not understood

Take V

Dirty fix on mistagged ememy

And to move on to take IV

Requires me to put on a new NEG, though

Ah, so that is why

But now it claims it cannot find the Astrilopup graphic, and that is odd

The music issue appears fixed indeed

Take III

That has been fixed

When an encounter tune was set, the system left the combat link field blank end didn't put in data at all....

The log shows the music is being pushed, and that an empty string is done for music request. Both actions should NOT have been taken, so I wonder where this went wrong....

Hmmm..... This is odd! No audio request was allowed, and yet one crashes the game

Take II

Some Real Life Stuff

#accept issue

Take I now comes for real!

Set the no music change script right

HOLD THE SHOW!!!!

I realize now that I forgot something very very extremely vital!

Take I

Anyway, the time to put this dungeon on the test for real (at least up to floor 006) has now come.... Wish me luck!

Oh, how nice... somebody asks me how I got into game development.... Haha.... That was in 1983 that I coded my first program.... Dang.... Am I really beginning to become an old man?

Facility

However I'm not there, yet!

Map configured for random encounters

Astrilopup

Cyborg Captain

Cyborg Gunner

Shoot

Cyborg Medic

#111

Art Astrilopup

Cyborg foe images

But first a break

Now to prepare for the encounters....

Stuff works now....

Take V

Redone (urgh!)

This is what I miss my mac for, as that could not happen there, but I guess this is one of the WOES of Windows

All Data Destroyed as a result, so I can do that part over

Scenario editor session conflict

Take IV

With the required scripting of course

Linked Scenario to start of Dungeon

Mistagged item

Welcome

Let's set up a little intro speech, in which I must take in mind that the three girls, Irravonia, Scyndi and Rebecca are the only three of which I can be 100% they are in the group when you enter the place, since Eric and Brendor can be kidnapped by Rondomo when you enter, and you can reach the place prior to Merya, Dernor and Aziëlla joining the party.

In this case I had to remove some objects that only had value in the Star Story scenario

I've enhanced Kthura with the possibility to mark objects with untransferred textures, so they'll become easier for me to either fix or remove

Take III

Some general issues

Some real life stuff got in the way, so I had to take care of that first

Take II

Typo in item referrence

Take I

That comes later... First I'll have to test if the random treasures and the treasure chests work the way they were intended

Area 999 very likely contains stuff that spooks up Kthura... very likely a texture not well referred to or something.... I'll have to investigate that later

Configured to feature these items

Configured stuff for Merya (for once she's joined the group that is)

Nuke

Medikit

Bandage

Yeah, this is a cameo to Star Story after all!

Aurina

Yup, the same enemies and treasure as you'd meet in Star Story, the cameo will be complete after all... Only unlike Star Story no monsters roaming the field this time... This is too hard to script for a cameo... The way back around was easier, and that's why I did that back then....

I will need to get the door on floor 012 to work, but that is a later concern, the main stuff works, and I can start working on the encounters and the treasures now

FINALLY!

(last one I hope!)

Take XXI

Config error

Take XX

Yup, new rooms must be scanned on the spot... I forgot about that

Running in the background

Take XIX

Let's try this then

???

Take XVIII

Syntax error

It would be a disaster if the project lets me sleep tonight, eh?

Take XVII then?

Keyword typo

Nope! Not allowed!

Take XVI has to confirm this

Everything should work accordingly now

Established

Now I must re-establish the auto Next/Prev links... I made them alternate in order to set the doors in order whenever you arrive in a new room

IT WORKS! YAY!

Let's verify in take XV if I'm right

I think I solved the mystery, though

Deactivated that debug line

The callback cycle routine works, so that is not the issue

Take XIV

At least I know the zones triggering the doors are triggered.... Now I must find out why the doors do not respond

MOAR debug lines required

Take XIII

I've added an extra debug line that should enlight me on a few things here

Why?

Nothing happens

Conservatism bug

Take XII

Wrong class

Take XI

I hate "=="

Take X

That has been done now

Although I must note nothing will happen on the short term as there is no code yet acting upon the instruction.... The code will (once written) just respond to the change of a few configuration settings, and they are set and unset now properly (if my calculations were correct).

I've linked all the doors to the respective trigger areas that should open and close them!

Yup! The alternate way is now used.... Good!

Take IX

Let's see if this linkthrough works the way it should

Right the logs now confirmed that the doors are properly registered

Take VIII

Lack of "self"

Take VII

Moar of those..... DOH!

Take VI

property name typo

Take V (IV was not announced... silly me)

And I think I fixed this now

I I think I found out why

Indeed.... The sliding doors are not recognized, that much the log now officially confirmed

So I've added extra debug lines

I cannot see clear tracks of proper initiation

that that should solve that BSOD

Illegal class call

Case error

Test III

missing links to Kthura

The alt script itself is (as expected) bugged

the link itself worked, but

And again

Missing slash, and in coding work, that makes a lot of difference in a computer program, I tell ya!

You never know this without a test... of course

As a result, the chains between the floors should not be working now in the Facility, but they still should in all other dungeons

And the mapscript now also links to this

Link function so I can do AltNext from all other states (most particularly the MapScript state)....

That looks good... but let's see

Let's do that again!

Yeah, believe it or not, but this little shitty code already needed a fix, and the big code was not yet even linked to... Cool, huh?

STuff is not yet complete or linked but I do want to run a little test to see if the few changes didn't cause too much trouble

Basis setup for the sliding doors

I did need some rest, and I also did some brainstorming.... I think I got some ideas for the sliding doors, as they have some important scriptig requirements....

#107

The stuff that had to work now, works.... Some additional coding will now be required to get this all to work fully

a few fixes on textures that do not exist in this game, and which i don't need anyway, so no need to import them either!

Yet I can test if the entrance works, and that I will do!

I should note that the dungeon is not yet completely operational and that the doors will also not move yet!

Entrance to the facility should work now

Which really goes more than 10x faster now that I can use my C# version of JCR6 (even though it's not yet fully done).

And repacking my music resource now

Converted to WAV as XNA has no OGG support on its own, and I do not wish to rely on dependencies not can I unpack to make those dependencies make the work... With SSD based harddrives that is not wise to do (makes their lifespan shorter), plus not all music licenses allow me this road....

So it's been transferred

Just like in Star Story "Ghosts of Disease" by Knight of Fire will be used in the facility

There are a few things in this map that have not been configured in this project, but that's no real bummer, as they are not really needed here anyway

A few slight modifications done to make it fully compatible with the new script setting

Map Eugorvnia Facility

Well the original Kthura map looks fine to me, so transferring should not be a serious issue...

NIL != Python (fortunately NOT)

It was either that or a useless call to SASKIA

I've cheated stuff in a little

And I noted all planned TL levels

#1

Yes, another secret Game Jolt exclusive dungeon will be found here. Cool,huh?

Linked to the checkout that should open the barrier

Written some code to start the madhouse

Areas 000 and 001 of the Mad House

Well, let's see what happens

This is a feature first brought in to Star Story and very specifically set up to work on Kthura, so maybe that explains why it wasn't supported in the original game

Tag change tomake the auto-link possible

Sign with auto-link

Auto-correct

scenario transfer

Does it all work now?

....

Madhouse misreferrence

Well.... Does everything work now?

and made the GOTOLAYER case insensitive... Kthura takes only uppercase anyway

exit Eric's house

Link to the Mad House set up

So I've set the aliases right and rebuilt the music resource...

"Fun in a bottle" is the background music for the madhouse (just like in the original game)

Exterior Mad House
