And thanks to my latest enhancement the need of scripting became obsolete

And I gave them their respective scenario

All NPCs of Iskarderiu have been added yesterday

Exit of Weniaria temple should now work

Kali Frindo

Kali Frindo

Kali Frindo

Kali Frindo

It appears to work now

Oh well....

Several small issues

Gandra Faldar (Seelah Gandra's old man).

Quick NPC text based on leader

On the next session I'll put in the NPCs in Iskarderiu (except for the shop keepers, that is), and complete this place

Half the stock?

Let's test!

And that should link it all togehter

Script script

Shop keeper

Shop keeper placed

Weapon Shop

Priest's robe

Mini Skirt

Leather Jacket

Vicious Whip

Smasher

Claymore

It all works... or so it seems ;)

Let's see if it works!

Item shop

Item merchant Iskarderiu

Link directly to SASKIA from NPC

Para Dust

That works, yay!

Well I've put in a flag that will force things through

Odd, the blockmap in the editor doesn't show that to be possible

All of them work except the entrace of the item shop.... Blockmap issues

Builinds can now be entered and left, at least, that should be possible.

More clarity about #116

And I will run the backup tool in the meantime

So I can safely take a break now before getting Iskarderiu into an actual working city

Things work now

lower case layers in Kthura

Music reference fix

Wrong place SASKIA script

Remove Paralysis

Well let's see if what we have works now

Basis script (required or the game crashes)

World Map linked

Quality reduction "Day of Chaos"

Important to note is that NONE of the NPCs are there yet, and none of the map link ups will work, and I think the game will even crash completely if you try to enter now

I've prepared the map for usage in this game

Copied Iskarderiu into the game.... This was not easy, as TFTREVAMPED has a different text configuration.... I really must check if I can automate some stuff here for the future....

Quality reduction "Space 1990"

Apparently....

Take V

Maybe THIS fixes this, but it's hard to tell!

Doesn't quite work.... yet

Of course, I need to test that, so onto take IV

Link code for pre-turn status changes... This will get poison to work

I've written the script that will deduct HP when poisoned

Not only that, but poisoned people do turn green as scripted

Causing and curing a status change works

Take III

Poison effect does not yet take away HP... But as inflicting status changes is pretty new, I gotta test first if that works.... I did make it happen that poisoned characters turn green, though

Anyway... Silly I forgot that... I guess that wa the reason behind that failure, yesterday

Basis for poison

It appears it can't find "Poison".... I guess I'll have to resume this later as it's getting late

Take II

Target Error

Take I

I'll be back later to test this though

if this works I can close #117

Backstab effect (needed for Shuriken attack. The name is set as Merya can do the same thing with a move with the same name).

Ninja

Random encounters configured (still loads of work to do here)

Soft tree area

Still a long way to go

#118

#117

Stun Stab

Poison stab

The new locations work

Take ONE!

Unlocking the worldmap items

Elfish Imperial Castle

Iskarderiu

Weniaria's Temple

All stuff that has to work accounted for!

Take IV

Hopefully that fixes stuff

Let's force mydata to generate the data again

Fix ignored

Take III

Swapped tags

Take II

Irravonia's dress misreferred

Take I

Area 002 of Iskarderiu forest, and also the final area here.... No bosses or anything, I do require an extra script though, in order to unlock the new spots on the worldmap, but that comes later....

And now I must attend to some real life business... be back soon!

Robe (Tier 2 armor for Seelah Gandra)

Fairy Magic Dress (Tier 2 armor for Irravonia)

Leather Shirt (Tier 2 armor for Eric, Rebecca and Brendor, although Dernor and Aziella can wear it too)

Still some work remains to be done!

all is well now, I guess....

Take V

Hold the show.... I had to retag something first

Take IV

Hacked the level, since (as I suspected) the "Next" area was faulty.... I forcefully removed it

Take III by now, I think :-/

No SASKIA

Well timed, as the builder is done now, so I can test again!

So let's make my time useful and fry some eggs in the meantime for a good uitsmijter, as I haven't eaten today and I am getting hungry

Unfortunately this requires me to rebuild that entire resource

Unfortunately I did a few things wrong with music aliasing for this dungeon, so I fixed the build script

#96

#1

Something went wrong with the chain field that must chain to area 002 eventually.... I hope I can still fix this.... Of course, this is also what my hack took Kthura Text Editor is for

Area 001

Angevin resampled... It becoma more than half smaller and yet the sound quality is still acceptable

Start File for Iskarderiu Forest

Presampled "Water Prelude" by Kevin McLeod to lower quality, for space optimization

And that's it for now....

A few more block map issues taken care of

Final (I hope) test for today

Missing link exit store

Not sure if I can count this as a "fix", but my requests to enter the wand store were denied all the time, and I hope forcing some spots as "passible" would take care of that issue

Let's see if this all works

Map fine tune

Brought down the quality of some music files.... More may follow

Batonya linked to the map

Exit the wand store

Enter the wand store

Batonya's Wand Store

Thunder Wand

Healing Wand

Water Wand

Frost Wand

Earth Wand

Wind Wand

And now I must of course add some stock

Wand Store

Wand store

Wand shop sign

IT WORKS!

Hover messed up

Resistance upgrade present

Okay, now stuff works.... Next stage is to get the upgrades to work, as that is when it comes to elemental upgrades not yet done

Invalid Class Field

Whatever

Now "new" statement

Link code

Written to startup code for Stone Master Tephondar

Tephondar

Mostly files can handle low quality.... Although metal music appears very very sensitive.... But metal is not used here....

The relaxation music that sounds in Botanica has also been halved in quality, as that was the biggest file I could find in Kevin McLeod's list....

I've lowered the quality of "The Machine Thinks" from 128 kHz to 64 kHz, and what I hear now is satisfactory enough.... This was one of the bigger files in my music library, so I hope to have a bit of a "win" in this process...

I've taken a look at NAudio, as the game is getting too big because of the music files... I can try to bring down their quality a bit, but it is a bit of a woe... MonoGame only supports WAV and uses dependencies for ogg support. The latter is unacceptable, as that makes me dependent on how well the computer of my player is configured, plus it also requires me to put my audio files in the open unpacked, and that can cause copyright issues.... So I am in a bit of a fix here.... I'll experiment with this later

This will have to do... I'm afraid

I hate intelligent software.... And that is what the WYSIWYG editor of itch.io provides.... In 99.999% of the cases it does things I didn't ask for, going beyond any level of stupidity creating very extremely ugly results in the process!

but it looks horrible, but I'll have to fix that later

Draft page set up

That covers everything for today... All that is left to do for me is Tephondar, but as he is a stone master in elemental protection, which is a new field in stone master land I won't do that today anymore....

Again!

Identifier typo

Let's see

Yannee, daughter of Fandalora

And let's see if they work properly

NPCs placed in town

Tag adaptions

Male Fairy 2

Male Fairy 1

Female Fairy 2

Female Fairy 1

Now?

In that case... DIRTY CODE STRAIGHT OUT OF THE TOILET!

One more time?

But I think I took care of that

Works of a part

Does that work, as well?

Same trick now done to the ability list

That works

Does that work?

Item hover should highlight item, for better view

That all works now!

III

Ah, the former fix was not done thoroughly... Although the latter one was correct

Take II

Mistake in hover detection

First time not registered as first time, so it will be all time

And can i get testing now for real... please?
