Take D

I should never read out an array like it were a function

But some testing is required and I count on, as this is part of the same deal.... Take C

And due to this switching leaders should be possible now, and Irravonia should now also change her speech if Rebecca is the leader

And thus I can leave out a lot of needless code that only takes up memory and does not do a thing except for error catching

I've set up a small line which will constitute a link to an AltClick function when the user clicks a character portrait with the right mouse button, if such a function exists.... Meaning that if the function does not exist the link cannot be constituted and the system won't even try.

That works, although this was a kind of code that could (except for a few typos) hardly go wrong....

Take B

Code typo

Take A

As switching leader is not yet supported, Irravonia can technically only respond to Eric now, but her scenario to when Rebecca speaks to her, has already been written.... Saves me work once you can switch leaders, which is a good idea to get done next

I've linked her to the mapscript now, so now Irravonia should respond

Irravonia's replies to either Eric or Rebecca have been written.... I did these from scratch as given the current situation that was the easier way to go

And been fixed!

YAAAAY! The mystery has indeed been solved!

Take VI

I think.... I think the system tries to look up stuff in the wrong layer.... After all this is the first actively multi-layer map in the game.... And also the first with multi-autoclickables, and since the Traveler's Emblem is not on the first floor, it could be the reason for crashing (and that is what it looks like) and it could also explain the (0,0) which are also not on the first floor....

Like expected that didn't solve the issue, however I can see that now the coordinates of NPC Irravonia and NPC Zack are in order now, this in contrast with the swords in room 002, which also act as an NPC, where (0,0) are the given coordinates which is incorrect (and cannot even be true), and the error remains also, and still on the case label too....

Take V

I think I found the issue, but that issue could NEVER produce that data, but if it works it works, so let's see

Then again, NIL is still a bit disasterous when it comes to the line number preserving....

the line given in the traceback refers to a case check which makes the error impossible, as case labels can only contain constant pre-defined values, and can therefore not contact .NET (which based on the error message, did happen)....

Let's first check that traceback

= Compiling auto-clickables
= Clickables on Layer #001
= Converting object with tag SAVESPOT_RED_00001E0D8B into a clickable
= Converting object with tag SAVESPOT_GREEN_0034E04586 into a clickable

ERROR>Object reference not set to an instance of an object.
NPC Found on ( 0, 0) >> NPC_Swords
= Converting object with tag NPC_Swords into a clickable
= Clickables on Layer #003

Makes even less sense, I tell ya

I don't understand what is happening... and to put it even stronger, the data I find in the logs do not even seem to make much sense here.... But let's get some things on the roll, starting with this traceback

Take IV

Some debug lines must give me some clarity

error beyond my understand

Take III

Ah, found the one I missed

Fix set, confirmed by my JCR6 viewer, yet ignored by the engine.... WTF?

Take II

Systematic case error

Take I

As the mapscript the autolinks created refer to do not yet exist errors will be thrown, however the kind of error DOES tell me if the autolinking itself works, from there I can work the scripts themselves out

Extra functionality in the linking scripts was required here, so I'll have to recompile NALA to make sure the embedded scripts are functional again

I've automated the clickability of NPCs in the field...

I've added room 002 to the Exam Ruins

Tele2 Mobiel NOOIT MEER!

Tele2 Mobiel NOOIT MEER!

Take XXXVI

That makes that higher skill levels can be read...

Alignment error

FINALLY!

Take XXXV

Well?

I think I'm going to die

Take XXXIV

Fixed now then.... preeeeeeaaaase?

Not quite!

Take XXXIII Let's see....

And that should be fixed as well

Okay... All serious bugs are fixed, but there is one cosmetic bug to be taken care of

Take XXXII

I think I'm gonna blow!

Take XXXI

I hope?

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARGH!

Take XXX

And XNA enforces another, but that is not *my* fault

Take XXIX

False start

Take XXVIII

I forgot Rebecca's starting equipment

Fixed

And I was hoping to have time to play on my PlayStation and have some dinner tonight

Take XXVII

Now?

Apparently not!

Take XXVI

Did I crush it now?

I wonder what it didn't understand about my request

Take XXV

???

Take XXIV

And I hope this fixes a big I have now

A way to get the current layer

Take XXIII

I hope that's fixed, but we'll find out soon enough... I think

But it still wants to go into a random encounter when it is NOT allowed to do so

The chaining works

Take XXII

I feel like I'm getting closer now (at least I hope so)

Definition of the leader

Take XXI

Invalid definitions in SASKIA

Take XX Let's see

the latter SHOULD also be fixed

I think I fixed the former

And trying to get the correct SASKIA label is confused with the Kthura layer

I hear Rebecca's theme start, and then the general music take it over immediately.... Why?

Take XIX

Removed the original call, and tried another

I'll sort that out later

Sometimes I feel like I'll get to "Take M" someday.... Let's hope I'm wrong!

Take XVIII

Added a few debug lines to get some clarity

Actually THIS tag is in order!

Impossible error

Take XVII

SIIIIIGH!

Take XVI

Code typo

Take XV

Second way to call things

Illegal class usage

Take XIV

And I also forgot to reset the music after Rebecca's introduction

Oh wait, it's there... I only called it the wrong way

Right... ALmost there... I only forgot the alternate music calls, which this dungeon uses, as the start music differs based on if you've been there before... or not

Take XIII

Another Math error

take XII

Math error

Take XI

How much more time do I have to do that? I wonder?

recompiling

I don't wanna talk about it, but it'll save me issues

Take X

GRRR!

Take IX

Config

Take VIII

Illegal Method Call

take VII

I forgot to save

Take VI

Aha!

WTF?

Take V (I'll count on) to see if everything's in order!

Link established

Now to really chain to the exam ruins peeps.....

FINALLY!

take IV

I think I fixed the link to the exam event

It's 6 o' clock and time for the news!

a few blockmap issues

The data inside Kthura gives me a different picture though

The other exit howerever gives blockmap issues, and therefore doesn't work

Irravonia going into protest when you leave the forest on the wrong end works

With these silly errors things go fast.... The woe of missing a syntax checker in your editor... oh well...

Take III

Missing "end"

Take II

Unfinished string

Sigh!

Take I

I've created some extra map stuff which will allow me to chain forward and also to block leaving the bushes the wrong way when you have not yet been in the Exam Ruins.

Real life stuff (sorry)

The WorldMap won't be available till chapter 2, so you can understand how important it is, this is done right from the start.

I've set up a quick metatable to handle the worldmap... For now all it does it (forcefully) throw errors, but that way I can at least make sure I can script the world map in already without having to deal with unknown identifier compiler errors from nil, and that saves me tons of trouble later....

Please don't go -- Triggers when you leave the west bushes on the wrong side (that is, when this is all scripted)

Something went wrong here... and I wonder why

renamed to make sure the naming is right

Some auto conversions have been done

that appears to be the case indeed

But stuff is once again not right here (that or maybe it calls of the outdated scenario editor)

I transferred the scenario to start the exam ruins

#86

Always look on the bright side of life

The music start up for this particular dungeon has been scripted... This to prevent some unneeded music loads and hearing things you don't want to be heard yet... Rebecca is one of the few characters who has her own theme song (because it was back then hard to get things fully spoken through with the musician (and him underestimating the scope of the original project) Rebecca and Rondomo were the only two characters who actually have music themed to them... There originally were plans to have all playable characters and important key characters have their own theme song, and if this wasn't a low budget project (The budget was so can't get any lower than that) that would have happened.... C'est la vie!

Yes, Irravonia will temporarily leave the party here, but that's not really relevant, that's only one command to get her out and one more command to take her back in... It's the fact that Rebecca comes in for the first time that matters now....

I've set up some start up configuration for Rebecca who'll join the party upon entering the Exam ruins

I'll only end this session for tonight!

And I had to redo a lot on this department in the process, but I'm glad I did it now, as the longer I delayed this the more I'd have to redo, so this was a good thing....

stuff

Made sure the resistances of Eric and Irravonia are all correct!

Put status resistances visible

And now to test if the elemental resistances appear in the field menu

Which also appears to be the case!

Checking if Rebecca's theme is properly aliassed

Which appears to be the case

Checking if the Exam Ruins music is properly aliassed

In the field menu the elemental resistances are now shown

Zack

The starting room of the Exams ruins has been added

Music aliasing for Rebecca's Theme (by Widzy) and Spy vs. Spy (by Matt McFarland)

I've transferred the exam ruins textures

RIGHT!

Take XV

Let's try this...

Looking good....

Take XIV

I hope

Bad luck!

Take XIII

Let's try to play it dirty, then....

For some reason the mouse button is not accepted

Take XII

Let's find out!

Impossible!!!! What the fuckis going on here!

Take XI

Moar syntax errors

Take X

Syntax error

Take IX

This way I can (hopefully) figure this out!

Extra line must provide answers

WTF?
