the game keeps persisting in this

I'll retry that.... The only possible explanation I currently have is a file corruption, but other than that... This error is not possible in any single way.... How am I so sure... Because the entire game could never work if it was... that's why!

???? A function that never had any issues is suddenly a "nil" value?????

Let's see!

I've scripted her out, but what will happen

Seems to be in order

Scenario check up for the little girl

Scenario from the original game (XENOR)

I placed her on her good old spot on the map.... Roughly same position as in the original game

Sprite Little Girl (Human)

IT WORKS :)

And enjoy a nice cabview ride from a tourist train in Colorado.... YAAAY!

So NOW I can test!

at the read

Taken care off

Ah, some lost trash was not completely out of the way, blocking my PowerShell prompt

Let's try!

Entering and leaving the store should be possible due to it, though

Dirty code, I tell ya.... Straight from the dung heap contaminated with nuclear waste.... That dirty, but what works that works

And now I need a break.... I'll be back soon!

Rebuilding -- Delayed post (errors on first posting attempt)

IT WORKS!

numero zoveel!

Checked the code, and the latter was indeed true

So I expanded the information

A lie? Or something I cannot see due to the informer not being entirely complete.... The latter appears more likely now!

Well?

Error in API link script

Take III

Link Error

Take II

Syntax Errors

Let's GO!

(And if no errors are thrown)

At the present time I can only check this out for the main zone, but I can check if the other two are properly hidden or not

Linked them to the map zones

Functions for accessing these written

Link up code

It's not over yet.... I now gotta code the MapScript that takes advantage of this

Compiling

NIL side of the code has been written

The C# part of my new invention has been coded

I've marked the place in three zones.... I did this for a system I've thought out specifically for this particular map.... My alternatives are just too crazy to bring to execution, so this is all I got!

You may still be able to see a few dominance issues along the road.... It's technically possible to fix that, but practically undoable, so I won't do that....
Either I must fix each tile on which the level is build up due to it being a TeddyBear conversion manually, or I would have to recalculate the at every pixel you move... The former is a fool's job, and the latter would slow down the game drastically, so either way is not an option....

It all works

One more test, but no serious issues expected anymore

A few blockmap issues in Xenor

It works

Again!

IDIOT!

Gotta test this of course!

Yes, I know this WILL lower the total performance of the game, but it is the only thing I can do to prevent dominance issues that occur otherwise to destroy the good look of the game

I've set that when the Y coordinate differs more than 40 pixels too much with the last remap setting, the dominance map will be automatically redone

Recompiling

Dominance Remap

Missing ".saskia" suffix

And that wasn't even what was about to the tested (GRRRR!)

missing keyword "not"

En ECHT kakkarlakje.... Nu blijven niet alleen de NPCs ongeoorloofd staan, maar werkt ook de uitgant ongeoorloofd niet meer!

Again!

SASKIA linkup missing

Squashed now?

For some reason the system keeps refusing to remove Irravonia and master Zack from the Exam Ruins when they should be....

I must say, you cannot yet enter buildings, plus you may even see some interious and the NPCs will not yet appear.... I cannot do all at once...

Gotta test if this all owrks

Linked worldmap record to it properly

Which will just like the original be "Oregon" by Wicky77

And I've set the music for the place

Done some corrections

As a result I don't have to manually redo all textures anymore in TeddyBear conversions and that saves me tons of work!

A quick tool had to do something about the texture issue I was suffering from, and it works the way it should

Now it comes down to what we can do to get more stuff done in less time when it comes to Maps converted to Kthura, as that is a kind of an issue

Made sure all Xenor textures have been properly transferred

Monsters put in

?

And now to put all this to the test!

Unlinked boss start platform from boss if Chapter 1 is compete

Irravonia and Zack were no longer allowed to appear as NPCs

Let's go.... again!

Unknown identifier

Let's go!

Deactivate exit when chapter is not done

Exam Ruins

Let's see now!

The North one does not

The South exit of XBN works

In West everything looks fine.... Good

Again!

Blockmap issue in XRoads

Time to put it all to the test

Done

A quick test is still in order though, but first Ineed to link their unlockings to the Crossroads

I've checked the respective Map Scripts of both dungeons, and both indicate they should just work the way they are intended to work

Xenor Bushes - North

Xenor Bushes - West

Well, it appears to be working now!

Again!

End exit didn't work

Again!

Variable typo

Let's see how things go now

Exists did not properly respond to no longer being in Irravonia's prologue

The South exit does unlock Frendor and the Xenor Bushes

Dominance issue Cross roads

I wish I knew why that sometimes happens.....

Something went wrong during building

Let's go!

I will for now test the south exit.... The west exit is a later concern

All should be linked from the start

Xenor Bushes

Both cities will only appear on the worldmap when unlocked, but trying to enter them will crash the game... for now

Xenor

Frendor

The Crossroads have been set up

Well, let's first set up the Crossroads shall we?

Converting Xenor in particular might be a hard job, but I've been in worse situations....

Good morning

Well time to get to work again.... Like I said, the CrossRoads was likely to be the first to be taken care of, so let's go for that...
Now the Cross Roads connects to both Frendor, Xenor, The Xenor Bushes (all three versions) and the Exam ruins.... I will get to those first, and after that the optional dungeon the MadHouse, which will for chapter 2 also be the gateway to the GJ exclusive bonus dungeon..... So let's go!

And so far for today.... The Cross-Roads is likely to be the next location to take care of.....

Yup.... The two locations only appear due to them being unlocked by the Red Dragon... Good!

Take IX will help me here... I hope

Well, the new locations do appear on the world map, yes, but, I need to check one more thing

Take VIII

SASKIA syntax error

Language referrence error

Take VII

Prefix error in map referrence

Take VI then, and let's see what will happen

And I forgot to activate the Red Dragon skill

Illegal script referrence in post boss script

And onto take V

And I voided more stuff later in the script

And that fixes another crash in the process

NEG

That voiding is indeed what it took.... Hmmmm.

Take IV

It does seem that the stuff does NOT work the way it should, at all.....

Take III

Syntax error in API enhancement

Take II

The Script will now unlock these two new locations, providing you defeat the Red Dragon first

Oh welll

I guess I didn't make it, but it was to be expected

Yeah, forgot those too, eh?

Cross Roads

Iskarderiu Forest

Of course it won't work, since I forgot to link the SASKIA script to the map.... Moron!

Take I, and let's see if I can get this fully working this year....

Well 8 minutes before 2020 starts, but I've got something better to do, than to waste my time on that, so....

Ruby

Red Dragon Big Art

I can now define an entire party in one go.... Saves me a lot of trouble

However as soon as the fight begins, the game will crash

Meeting with Red Dragon Scripted

Scenario looks alright!

Now for the grand scenario, peeps!

All's well!

Well.... Let's check

Other spots appear to be doing fine

One more broken exit spot, so it appears

And let's go again!

I manually fixed the map that got broken in the process

No worries now

Oh, wait a minute.... The debug asset library is outdated.... I suppose I need to replace that....

It appears that the "Wind" settings are not right

And that is now to find out! ;)

Area 014 is where the dragon resides, though you can already see it, it won't activate yet and just ignore you.... The scripting of the dragon comes later when the map itself works or is confirmed to work

Area 014

Area 013

Area 012

Time for a little break

That appears to work

Take III

I've lowered the boss' defenses, as this was ridiculous for a mantadory boss fight

Take II

Boss picture name

Take I

This SHOULD all work now... WISH ME LUCK!!!!

Area referrence in SASKIA script

This is nothing more but the "receive room"... A few more rooms will be there before you meet the dragon itself

Area 011

Red Guardian

Boss

That brings us to the last leg of this puzzle.... Linking the solution to the boss enemy and the SASKIA script lines that come next....

WORKS!

Take XIII

Turn around! Bright eyes!

Take XII

Cancel the puzzle

Take XI

Detection Y for mouse pointer was invalid

Take X

Turn around (bright eyes)

Almost there, but not yet quite

Take IX

DA FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK!

Take VIII

Lost track of things, but A LOT has been fixed

Take VII
