Void (although that move does nothing yet)

The power of evil

Dark Vision

Phantom Hazard

Darkness

Darkness

Another test before I can really get onto the random encounters here (if venom works will have to be tested later, this is just a map test)

Linked to Biohazard and poison cloud

Venom

Width and Height properties for fighter class extensions (gonna need them)

Explosion

You couldn't leave area 004

Due to the auto-achievement system savegames past that point will automatically award this achievement anyway in due time

White dragon achievement didn't work

And NOW it works

And let's test it again after that

Recompiling

Bug in the Kthura API for Bubble

Judging by the log and the Kthura editor something went wrong on the normally blocked area... I think the texture which was carring the Impassible flag, just like the zone that had to make hooking possible, is the "evil" here.... Since two blocks is not needed, and the texture block being obsolete, I'll remove that block so that only the zone remains, and let's see what happens

Reactivated debug line

That or a wrong operator was used

It appears that Scyndi's hook move does NOT work vertically for some reason

I must test out a few things before I add the random treasures and enemies

Area 005

Area 004

Onyx

Area 003

So far everything appears to be fine

Just a small test!

Area 002

Stuff is fine.... At least for the time being....

It's not likely I get too many collumns anyway.... The game's big but not THAT big!

Collumn length worldmap enlarged

Blockmap error

...

....

.....

SASKIA error

Let's see if this all works the way it's intended to work

Area 001

Exit

LATER!

Running

#1

#117 -- closure overdue!

#121

Take IX

And I forgot to set the music correctly

Chain to Area 000

Another obsolete scenario tag

At least that takes care of the "hard part"

And now Dernor and Merya DO walk away when they have to

Take VIII

I refuse to call that a fix, but at least this should get things going again

Made a new tag and linked the SASKIA script to that

The required tag has gone missing, though the debug logs indicate it's still there

And neither Dernor nor Merya will walk away, and maybe I need to make a little mapcheck for that one

Bugging tag, leftover original game

Grammar error in Dernor's opening sentence.... How did that one get past my notice in the original game's release?

MANY things are NOT right!

Take VII

I hope I voided that one now.... But ya can never be sure I guess

The question is now why spaces are added for no apparent reason making my texture reference invalid

Take VI will have to tell

Alternate boxtext loader fixed????

Take V

Ah... Found the little bugger

Let's see if we can find out why....

Apparently the spawning of Merya didn't work out well....

Take IV

Hide error

Take III

That should count as a "recover" rather than a fix I think

Put in in again

Somehow the music script link disappeared

Take II

Linked the world map

I wanted to do this TOO quickly

take I

And BANZAAAAÏ!

Fix a cup of coffeee

And that means things can be tested now.... As things are a bit more complex than they usually are, I do expect some trouble here....

Oh yeah, the actors had to be removed from memory... This to prevent any bugs when the Rondomo sequence begins, which is in the same section

I've scripted out the part where the party meets Dernor and Merya.... The script should also make them go away

Tag adaptions which were needed in the old game, but serve no purpose here, and would even only bug things up

Tag placement in order to make portraits appear properly accordingly

Damn, that was a highload of text....

As the outside of the cave was a separate map in the original game, I am condemned to loading a separate scenario file (as there's also text with the dragon), and I have no merger, and writing one will take more time and effort than it's worth, since I only need to do this once, and the merger takes more time to write, than this way around takes me....

Imported scenario for Dernor and Merya

The actors for Dernor and Merya should spawn now

For Itch.io things are not yet certain when it comes to uploads. I could not yet see if Itch.io actually supports hidden downloads only for personally picked alpha testers to see

Alpha Update

Due to the meeting with Dernor and Merya I have a few complicated things set up to deal with loading the place from the world map

Empty base script

There are a few issues with character specific skill exp gainings

AS this requires full concentration to do well, I think I'll first take a little break....

Not only that, but I also must be careful on working out the music, as that'll need to be done differently. I must also think on how to do the inspawning from the worldmap, but the latter I know an easy cheat for, which I actually also used on the village of Dreshka in The Fairy Tale (both the original game as the revamp.... a very easy way to "cheat")

This requires them to be fully functional actors, and thus I'll need to be creative in scripting

This will be a bit harder to do, as Dernor and Merya will not join the party yet, but walk away in stead (only to return later as fully playable characters)

Outside Area where Dernor and Merya will enter the game

And now to bring the game outside the madhouse, so I can start the works on the Black Dragon Cave and complete this chapter

And that should be all errors accounted for

Map referrence error

Take XII

Way back into the madhouse

I do suffer from some dominance issues... This was already a problem in the original game, and trying to fix those will only make things worse, so I won't

Achievement works

Take XI

Linked the achievement to the proper place on the map

The name is a referrence to Wild ARMS 4, where Yulie often exclaims this during battle

I wish I could forget all about the facility

Take X

Debug lines dummied... I can get them back if the bug persists

I think I fixed it

During Take IX I hope the debug log will tell me why Irravonia tries to learn "Meditation"

#120 As at least that has been confirmed to work

So these debug lines must give some clarity

The way the code has been written should make this impossible...

Irravonia tries to learn "Meditation" when not all skill levels are at the required height

take IX

Take VIII

Extra declaration required

Take VII

Yeah it takes a few bytes more of RAM and nobody will ever care, mind you!

Voided an issue in the #120 fix.... Doing it the correct way is too much work....

Take VI

Before I push that in order to close #120 I want to do more testing, but that will be done in this entire test session along with the test of the facility

#120

No experience on casting freeze for Eric

Take V

I've made sure the speed between faster and slower characters in battle is less excessive

Take IV

Back to the facility

Take III

Not the must beautiful fix, but caring about that will only create even uglier code

AHA! That was the evil!

Take II

Extra data about why the transporter pad refuses to work

Which was about time

Replaced by work chair

Take I

Does it work?

Transporter pad area 018 active now

I've expanded the SASKIA script for the transporter.... Was the easier way to go

I'll be back!

Issued as #119

When a 100% poison resistent enemy can get poisoned, I do know the resistance checkup is not working properly.... (And I think I already know why)

Take Three!

HP down.... This would take too long and end up in an extremely BORING fight!

Take Two!

Music referrence

Take One!

Time is not my biggest friend today, but I'll see how much time I got to throw in some tests

Yes, those who played Star Story may be able to guess the boss.... Try it!

???

Kuusi

Nelja

Kolme

Kaksi

Yksi

There is still some work to do before I can get the boss to work, though

The boss itself has not yet been put in the database, so starting the fight will crash the game... for now....

Boss script has been done

(I can't do much while JCR6 is packing, anyway).

First something to eat, as I am starving!

Packing

Quality has been approved

Music pack script adapted

Music imported and quality downgrade

I see... what I wanted to see

Still a little test

activating it will for now crash the game

Boss placed in

Boss Art

A bug in my backup tool not handling deleted files well

But that's likely not for today anymore!

Things have been set for the boss fight

Frost wand was producing fire in stead of ice

Take IX

More chances to get out of paralysis

Take VIII

Aurina

Myr has been modified a bit, as it didn't work the way it was intended to work

Element fix on Freeze

Take VII

SIIIIIIGG!

Take VI

I guess I must FORCE this

Take V

I think I fixed the flysky issue

take IV

Myr seemed to be only doing Ultra-Sonic, while it shouldn't

Take III

I dunno, but let's try this

Enemy error

Arena reference
