| 23:57 | NOTE |  I realized that I did the entire actor table in NIL wrong |
| 22:00 | REMOVED |  I've (for now) removed the pathfinder.... The chance was pretty big a different pathfinder would be used anyway.... |
| 21:59 | FAILURE |  II guess the compiler doesn't like me for this.... |
| 21:58 | LINK |  Glue code |
| 21:58 | KTHURA |  X and Y catcher (for now specialized on Actors, but over time, regular objects must also be supported). |
| 21:52 | FAILURE | For some reason Go failed me on getting all I need :-/ |
| 21:43 | STUDY |  https://github.com/github/linguistNot that I understand it... Hey I only have above average intelligece... Don't expect too much of me! |
| 20:07 | LINK | Spawn Link Code |
| 20:03 | KTHURA | Spawn |
| 19:43 | LINK | Please note, this class is fake... All it does is link with the C# Kthura API which will always do the real work, but this class will produce a) cleaner code, and b) can help me for when Bubble would ever be rewritten in a different setup, to maintain the code I already got. |
| 19:42 | NIL |  Basis set up for a NIL class for Kthura |
| 18:28 | KTHURA | For the sort term Actors will follow the obstacles, however, a lot more will need to be done on the longer term... |
| 17:11 | KTHURA | I did set up some basic declarations up so I can make things work.... I now need to have a proper look in how to actually do it all best, as this can be a little bit complicated here |
| 16:23 | STATUS |  Time is however not on my side, and I really want to do this right... Well due to a few other projects being on shelf I can do those first, as they require less work |
| 16:05 | KTHURA | A quick view on the Kthura source I saw (just as expected) that actors are not yet supported.... So I'll need to put in support for them |
| 15:56 | JUDGMENT |  As far as I can currently judge everything works the way it should |
| 15:53 | COSMETIC |  Normally in white letters, when you got the level cap amber letters, when you are over the level cap (can happen to characters new to the party) in red, guest characters in skyblue |
| 15:53 | DONE |  The level numbers will now show (in Roman numbers) at the bottom of the character box |
| 15:34 | NIL | I've written a little NIL library which can convert arabic numbers into roman numbers |
| 1:48 | GITHUB |  I've closed https://github.com/AnnSerba/A-star/ and I'll try out later if it's actually useful! |
| 0:13 | TODO |  Investigate if there are good pathfinders for C#... Now that I think about it, there must be one.... |
| 0:13 | DONE | I did an attempt to convert the BlitzMax pathfinder I had to C#, but due to the high number of errors, I've (for now), set it to "None", so it won't compile for now... Time is not on my side now and don't know if this is the right way to go.... |

| 0:21 | NOTE | It appears some music is not properly aliased.... |
| 0:16 | NOTE | As the Xenor Bushes were totally messed up from the beginning (as the TeddyBear Map Engine was not fully set to support obstacles well back then), I think it's better that now that I must redo most of the dungeons in Kthura anyway, that this place is redone in Kthura.... It being a forest location will probably only work out better, anyway |

| 22:40 | BACKUP |  Running in the background... Just too much had happened, today |
| 22:38 | FAILURE | Git was unable to see how much I shortened a file.... crap! |
| 22:27 | MYSTERY |   Well some things will forever remain a mystery, but what works that works, so let's not whine about it... :-/ |
| 22:25 | HUH | and suddenly without any explanation it works (it had to since there was no reason not to work, but I always hate it when that happens). |
| 22:23 | COCKROACH |  The system keeps (falsely) insisting the sleep pointer is non-existent |
| 22:14 | HUH | Did I solve it? |
| 22:13 | TEST | Let's see |
| 22:11 | CHEAT |  I changed my code a bit to (hopefully) cheat on that. |
| 22:11 | HUH | Error that is just stupidity from Lua's side |
| 22:09 | TEST | AndI need to test if it works as intended |
| 22:09 | ART | Hourglass converted to png |
| 21:58 | ENHANCEMENT |  I've updated the mouse features to make and easy switch between mouse pointers possible |
| 21:41 | ART | What I did forget to note is that I made a cute hourglass for the waiting routine :P It is in PCX now though, so I need to convert it to PNG |
| 21:38 | STATUS | once that works, the first actual dungeon will be created, and then I'll have to put in player animation plus a pathfinder routine. The first plan is to convert the one I have in BlitzMax to C#.... This was a disaster before in pure Lua, but that was most of all to BlitzMax being case insensitive and Lua not requiring declarations, which was a horrible combination. Since C# DOES require declarations, case errors will be easier to spot. |
| 21:37 | STATUS | The first thing I need to do is to make sure the wait routines will work... To make sure this will work in accordance with MonoGame I'm gonna set up a separate flow for that (I know I had good reasons to hate MonoGame's impractal approach and to hate callback based engines in general). |
| 21:35 | CONFIRMED | YES!!!! THAT WORKS!!! |
| 21:26 | FIXED | This should fix, the bug that little Irravonia doesn't get herself removed fixed |
| 21:24 | KTHURA | Speaking of which I tagged child Irravonia, since she did not disappear when she had to.... Not good.... |
| 21:20 | KTHURA | I placed the newest version of Kthura on Game Jolt |
| 19:12 | NOTE | Of course, I got a pretty fast computer, so maybe that's not the correct way to be sure, but then again, given that this game will take months, if not more than a year to create, different standards may be due by the time this game is released. |
| 19:11 | DEBUG | I've also used the data to calculate the FPS, which appears to be 60+, which is pretty high, so it looks like speed is not gonna be my biggest issue |
| 17:31 | TECHNO |  These values also show me that the "sleep" flow I've in mind can safely make it and error on value 0.... That would be too fast anyway.... |
| 17:30 | NOTE | When I go out I see the Draw timer go down, but the update timer remain stable... That too looks good to me... |
| 17:29 | DEBUG | In debug mode I see the Update and Draw times being 1 milliseconds all the time, which looks good to me... |
| 17:27 | DEBUG | I made it possible for NALA to show the times elapsed if the debug feature has been turned on by the scripts |
| 17:14 | LINK | I've linked these from the CORE to the communication API, which should now result into NIL and Lua into being able to get the correct values |
| 16:55 | NALA |  I've added a few timing routines to NALA, or rather, routines I can use to make MonoGame send through some timer data to NIL and Lua.... Calling the values from Lua and NIL is already possible, however they will for now always be 0 |
| 14:38 | TEST |  And let's try this again, shall we? |
| 14:38 | POWERSHELL | Ran my rebuild script |
| 14:38 | FIXED | Fixed this |
| 14:37 | STUPIDITY | Yeah, this tag might be a better one! |
| 14:37 | SOLVED | Missing constructors..... I feel so idiot now |
| 14:35 | INVESTIGATION |  Very well, it is clear now the map loader ceased working.... And I suppose it's the underlying TMap library that is causing this to happen THIS time |
| 14:32 | INVESTIGATION | Well, let's investigate our little error, shall we? |
| 11:36 | DONE | I needed a little break |
| 9:56 | NOTE | Hmm.... perhaps I should put in a little error catcher in my Nala build scripte |
| 9:50 | TEST | Take Twee |

| 21:34 | CONFIRMED | Layer switch works now! |
| 21:23 | TEST | Let's see what happens! |
| 21:23 | FIXED | I fixed that (I think) |
| 21:23 | SOLVED | I think I found the "evil".... SASKIA did compile the MOV request into a function, but did not actually EXECUTE the function.... |
| 21:19 | DEBUG | I really gotta do more research :-/ |
| 20:50 | DEBUG | Now an extra debug line in SASKIA to get some answers |
| 20:49 | HUH | The logs show the request to change layers (as done per SASKIA script) was not even performed at all |
| 20:44 | DEBUG | Added a temp line to the Kthura glue code.... Hopefully I'll get an answer that way |
| 20:42 | BUG | For starters, why does the layer not change when that should have happened? |
| 20:42 | CONFIRMED | So far so good... Still a few things need to be done |
| 20:37 | POWERSHELL |  (I did make sure NALA was recompiled (and a good thing as that didn't happen) so the faulty versions are now whoop! Gone!) |
| 20:37 | TEST | Time for a little test! |
| 20:36 | ENHANCEMENT | Since Feenalaria, the same woman you could meet in The Fairy Tale, is now Fairy Elder, it's only fitting I put her face into the textboxes in which she speaks. |
| 20:36 | FIXED | Typos and stuff in the scenario at Irravonia's home |
| 20:26 | DONE | Ate my dinner |
| 19:49 | STATUS | Still an error, but that error was to be expected as it links to part not yet being coded/scripted, so all-in-all... Me happy! |
| 19:48 | FIXED | And that fixes the chain to Irravonia's house as a whole... Whoopdy-freakin'-doo! |
| 19:47 | FIXED | An the evil was that NIL was a bit picky in its use request about .nil not being fully lowercase, which should frankly not matter at all. That has been taken care of! |
| 19:44 | FIXED | An now the proper error message shows in stead of a "not enough memory" error, and the stack overflow has been eliminated... Am I cool or what :P |
| 19:39 | SOLVED | I found the source of these out of memory errors... I think |
| 19:12 | ANALYSIS |  Now what I see is that there's an 'inproper library name' error thrown, and that this is causing a cycle of function calls leading to an infinite cyclic-function call, in the end leading to a stack overflow.... I need to sort out why this happens, but at least I got SOMETHING to rely on |
| 19:07 | RESULT | Here goes: |
| 18:54 | ANALYSIS | Well this has been confirmed by the output thrown on the Visual Studio output console |
| 18:52 | ANALYSIS | Some analysis of the memory meter in Visual Studio shows the clear mark of a stack overflow.... That could explain the out of memory errors... Question is what causes those overflows in the first place.... |
| 18:32 | DEBUG | A few extra SAY tags to find out what the hell is going on there.... |
| 17:55 | INVESTIGATION | I wonder.... It goes wrong when the new mapscript is about to be loaded.... :-/ |
| 17:54 | VISUALSTUDIO |  Another try{..}catch thing |
| 17:52 | COCKROACH | Apparently not! |
| 17:49 | DONE | I've put in a proper error catcher in the State Creation routine... Hopefully this will rid me of those fucking false "out of memory" errors, and make sure the system makes sense of a change! |
| 17:31 | ENHANCEMENT | When a standard mapscript does not exist, the system will load the MapScript "none.nil" in stead, which only covers the required callback functions, and nothing more than that. |
| 17:24 | CONFIRMED | Music also starts correctly |
| 17:24 | FIXED | Chain to Irravonia's home |
| 16:13 | FIXED | Well, now I fixed the portraits so the correct ones should appear |
| 16:12 | FIXED |  Right-o! The main issue's been fixed.... |
| 15:54 | COCKROACH | SIGH! |
| 13:45 | CONFIRMED | See I *knew* the fix was merely ignored, now that I had an error in my fix (causing the game to crash immediately, which was in this case a good thing), I could see that the modified file was not in the resource I had for testing. |
| 13:41 | DEBUG | To ensure the modified BoxPics.nil file will be loaded I've added a #say tag, so the console will always confirm things are in order! |
