Area 002 Red Dragon Cave

Well! Catch ya later, folks! I'm tired... Tomorrow is another day, eh?

FINALLY!!!!

Final test.... please?

Missing start characters

All crashes voided

And I am dead tired of these stupid errors now! (the number of reasons why so many tests are needed is ZERO! The fact that I had to use so many tests is really beyond me).

You can't fix what ain't broken, but you can void it

Engine giving me nonsensical errors

.........

Base script for Red Dragon's cave (sigh!)

HOW MUCH MORE FOR A SILLY THING LIKE THIS???

SIGH!

Again!

Forgotten group

Let's roll 'em, boys!

Start room red dragon cave

Respawn re-initiate

Dragon cave tiles (for all four dragons)

I've set the copier to void that

Errors on deleted stuff in original

All the pre-new-map stuff appears to be working

Take II

SASKIA syntax error

But I can test up to that moment, so let's go!

I can put this to the test a little, although the game will crash upon loading the red dragon cave, since that dungeon does not yet exist (how obvious)

Scripted it all out

To Dragon Cave

Sub Hub Dragon Crack Forest

Crack

Ah, white line bug in my way.... If I could only get that fixed..... (GRRRR!)

Syntax error

I've configured Eric's fire spells, since the first dungeon will allow him to unlock those....

Well, ready to go to the next stage

Take IV

Flame Wand didn't work the way it should

Rebecca's scare works

Take III

Illegal class usage

Take II

Bug

Well, as I go into testing area 003, I can test Rebecca's action in the process (I hope)

Personal Actions

I've activated Rebecca's personal action

Rebecca's Personal action button

Sword tier 2 had issues

Let's put things to the test.... (And this may take awhile due to an earlier mistake of mine... Nothing in the programming, rather a gameplay issue during the test play, hahaha!)

That will be the last "official" floor, as the "final" floor will only be a scenario hub to get you into the red dragon cave

Area 003 Dragon Crack Forest

With this, I can move on to the next leg of the game's production

YUP! ALL IS WORKING NOW!!!! WHOOHOOO!

Take X can now really begin!

So I'm ready now....

And I had my dinner... A delicious Asian spring roll

Okay, that was that

And engage into test X... well that is... if if wasn't around 6 and time for the news....

Recompiling NALA

I fixed that

The evil lies in the way the data was generated by the underlying NALA API

Take IX

An extra line must tell me if the reset is completely ignored or not, as it seems very much like it!

Take VIII

Wrong var

Take VII

Let's see what happens if.....

If I can still get some around this time... :-/ (But I hate molded bread)

Before I'm going to take a look why that is, I first need to refill my break stock

The stat isn't properly reset

Almost there... No more crashes, but....

Take VI

Syntax error

take V

Recalc definition error

And into take IV

I voided that

And move on to test II

So I gotta compile this shit all over again

Yup, gotta compile the entire shit all over again as the linking script is embedded in the NALA engine (to save me time)

Code typo in the NIL link code

Take I

I mean it!

I'm gonna need it... I'm afraid!

Time to wish me luck

Older savegames will NOT take effect in this.... Too much trouble to get it right and only asking for bugs

This should recalculate all stats ever re-equipping

So my script can run, as I won't get to full test work anyway

must be recompiled as a result of course

So that should link all together now

NIL link code

API for RPG read out now has a stat iterator for foreach kind of requests

Irravonia not noted as somebody who could equip the Flame Wand

Flame Wand is NOT a consumable, but a weapon!

And I've replaced the light bulp in the hallway of my appartment... Was about time too

It works

And AGAAAAAAAAAAIN!

C-string-format error

And Agaaaaaaaaaaain! (yawn)

Syntax errors bij de vleet

And again!

Another syntax error

Again!

Syntax error

Taken a shower, prior to the test

Let's first see if this works

The stats will NOT yet be recalculated, though.... That will be the next step!

I've made it posible to change equipment now

Yup! That does it! ;)

And NOW I'll go into take III

Case Error!

I found the issue

HOLD IT! HOLD THE SHOW!!!!

Take III

And I added an extra help line hoping it can tell me why

Who can equip stuff is being ignored

Jewels not properly marked

Take II (can you believe that?)

One comma.... ONE FUCKING COMMA!

Let's put that to the test!

I've made the autohelp tell you who can equip a certain item, and who cannot

Does nothing yet, only a few linkups that will allow me to make this possible

Item usage in the field

Shanda's portrait fixed on the GJ Site

See ya, later!

Updated

Updated

Well, the first thing on my agenda now is item usage outside of battle, and top priority on equipment....

Which I also needed to configure some more

Running

And the JCR6 savegame checkup (the savegames are just JCR6 files in which all files are packed together.... Saves me a lot of loose files for a savegame).

That appears to confirm a few things....

Take K

But I must check if the chest will disappear in my savegame

Okay now the chest appears

Take J

Case error?

Fix ignored?????

Take I

And Fixed it

But I can see how that lie came to be

Well all crashes accounted for, but now it claims this does not fall under the casual difficulty setting and THAT is a lie

Take H

Now?

Take G

I think....

Crap!

Take F

Texture Redefinition failure

Take E

Is that all?

Take D

and antoher

Take C

And more of that

Take B

Variable trouble

Take A

When saving your game, or when coming back to dungeons you've vistited before opened chests will be gone... This was to prevent needless bugs later....

Treasure chests SHOULD work now

Now it comes to treasure chests.....

Fix confirmed

Take V

Safety pre-caution against the oversoul counter.... This is not ideal, but it should fix a few things on the short term

Blue Slime can not longer go oversoul

Just as I thought, and enemy who was NOT allowed to go oversoul, goes oversoul, for some reason....

Cure Disease

Take IV

Broken Cash Tag

Take III

Illegal class readout

#108 Impossible error... Yet it happens.... What makes the impossible possible?

AP increase on getting hurt by attacks... Actual gain depends on how much HP damage you have, and the chosen difficulty setting... This feature was planned anyway prior to making AP loss on abilities actually work

Take II

Blockmap issue

A little test

Area 002 of Dragon Crack Forest

Sledge

Slashing Whip

Brimstone was shown as "Fire Wand"

Some treasures are just special and you do not want them to be random... So....

Treasure Chest added to Kthura config list

Scripted Treasure chest

I've cut it into two separate textures... The way Kthura currently works that is the safer way to go when it comes to bug prevention

Treasure chest art

Non-burning candle art

Highwayman's HP halved

Too many magic stones dropped

Target issues

Git acted up on me.... But I guess I could undo all that.... Pfweew!

Take 2

Code Typo

A little test is in order now

Encounters configured for Dragon Crack Forest

The reason why I picked these trees, was because there had to be more variation in trees in the forests, and I still had these trees, so....

Forest with these trees

Highwayman
