And deleted the corrupted file

Placed the Dutch backup file on the spot where the builder should pick it up

Yes! I found a file without any issues in my backup.... I love my backups

Of course, this is what wise people make backups for, so let's see if I can recover a good scenario file from the backup

The corruption is mostly due to Windows updating automatically without my permission and not granting me the right to turn that off, and if the scenario editor was trying to save the Dutch data precisely at that moment, then well, this will happen....

Thank goodness the English scenario is still there

The Dutch scenario file got corrupted.... I do not know if I can recover it, but it will be really needed or I got one hell of an issue

Flame animation for flame spell

Since I cannot focus anymore I guess I need to put my mind on other things....

Basis set up for Silence and Fear status changes

I've added the fields that can block abilities when silenced or in fear

The thing is that Jeracko Spin is now there... Since I did forget to take proper pre-cautions on confusion, it will now cause Exhaustion and Fear in stead, however both statusses do nothing yet (will very likely even cause an error), and SpellAni is now also becoming an essential thing....

Data for Jeracko put in

Jeracko boss art

Shanda's attacking animation is satisfactory

I do need to test this, so here goes....

I've animated Shanda attacking

All "pre-boss" stuff appears to be in order now

Well almost there (and then the boss fight still has to come... Oh my)!

SASKIA syntax error

Unwanted infinite loop

And let's see how it looks now

And I sped the process up, as it took too long

I fixed that

fixed negative scaling effect was not allowed here

Things are still not right, but hey, improvement's been made, and that counts for something

Yup, that was the issue

Hopefully this is one of my "brighter" moments!

Wait a minute.... I THINK I know what's going on here

SASKIA keeps talking bullshit.... The "nil" it claims to crash on cannot be 'nil' based on the code I have... I've set a few extra parameters and debug lines to find out why it keeps claiming to have a nil then...

Take ,.... how far are we?

But now SASKIA is talking bullshit

Okay, somehow the fix is no longer ignored

Take X (by now I think as I forgot to count some takes)....

Field link error

The camera was unreliable and this way I can at least fix that

Cam

Case Error

Compiling again

Syntax error in Bubble link script

Take IV

The Bubble API didn't allow int changing, eh?

Take III

Oh damn!

Take II

Now?

????

And wish me luck!

Take I

Before all that I do need an ANYWAY regeneration, so here goes!

Now this is gonna be interesting as the most proper way to do this is SASKIA is by using boolean checks and that part of SASKIA has never been tested before.... So let's hope this goes well

And scripted the sound effect also

The "OnyxBang" graphical effect

Ah, it's just the modify section where the bug lies.... The Kthura engine itself has full support... That's good to know!

I had trouble with scaling before, but appears it DOES work.... Strange!

I'm thinking what the best way would be for the "Bang" effect

Jeracko and Blenchy put on their respective spots

Blenchy's art

A bit of polish

That all looks good to me!

I've DELIBERATELY hidden the player so I can easily start the event that takes place here... Since this even ends the dungeon, and this being a one time dungeon also and therefore causing you to be unable to return for the remainder of the game, nobody will ever see this little cheating of mine in the development....

Yeah, it's cheating, but it saves me a lot of work, and also a lot of cockroaches!

area 009

Again!

Blockmap issue

Quick test

area 008 and 009 will be free of encounters.... 008 is just a savespot room and 009 the boss room

Area 008

Everything is cool now!

And feed my cat, while the computer is rebuilding

And let's go again

of course

I forgot the final fly zone.... What an idiot I am!

Yeah, even stuff without code can get bugged, folks!

And let's keep on testing

Cosmetic error

Forgotten Flyzone

Basis for area 007, but i forgot something very important

Fade effect for floor 007

I cannot prevent the GJ achievement to be listed under my name now, but that doesn't really matter in the way I set off my stuff

I fixed that

Unrelated but the "May I crush your skull please" achievement went off without proper explanation... The requirement cannot be reached in the current state of the game

Let's do that again!

Missing link

Yeah I used Python for that... This is what Python is for... It was never meant as a full scale programming language, what did you guys think?

I see what I did wrong in my Python script, and that was very very stupid

Not only that but the backup got busted as well... I guess lha was not a very reliable tool

Good thing I backed stuff up, as it did go wrong permanently killing my map

Let's see what will happen if I open my map editor now

Saved

In order to make sure no damage is done, I did a little backup for my source folder, as this is potentially dangerous (the worst thing that can happen is that I have to redo Shanda's dungeon entire (only the map, not the code), but it's not something I wish to do when I do not need to)

I've generated the effect to do the finishing touch to that room.....

Set up a part of 006, however I need to use a little script to get the rest done, I'm afraid

#96

Well?

Something HAD to get bugged after all, eh?

Broken exit spot

Well "Test" is a big word, as it just a save spot room

Area 005

A case error... Shouldn't have lead to this, though!

Okay, that was indeed it!

.... ???? Please .... ???

But maybe.....

That told me NOTHING at all

Let's see

The API gives an error that I cannot properly explain... It is a .NET error, that's all I can tell, so I'll have to sync with the Visual Studio apps in order to sort this out (and I hate nothing more than doing that... I created this engine to prevent all that... oh crap!)

And Let's see what this does...

faked the traveler's emblem to get it done in accordance that it has to work in this particular case!

So far.... So good!

And let's do that again

Fixing this issue

Put them in

Starting points forgotten

Test will likely be short, and the travel emblem must now be manually linked to stuff, but that can't be helped

Area 004

Time for a break now.... I'll run the backup in the background

YAAAAAY! It all appears to be working now! (Call the paper)

And Take XII

Recompile

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

Wait a minute... THe logs show something.... Yeah, the move request appears to be done.... I wonder

Take XI

Extra debug line which hopefully provides some answers

As a matter of fact nothing happens at all, only a debug message which at least confirms the request has been registered....

No more crashes at least... That least THAT is something

Take X

Syntax error?

And now into take IX for real (no I didn't count IX double.... Take IX just never took place)

compiling AGAIN

Ah, an adaption error

Compilation failed

Take IX

Yup, I gotta recompile NALA... I was hoping I'd be rid of that by now.... Poep gebeurt!

That should link it all together, but who knows?

Not to mention the NIL code

And the API had to be set up for this

I really had to break open Kthura, as there was no "MoveTo" ????

Take VIII

Since that's in the link code, I'll need to recompile NALA

Case error

Take VII

math errors

Take VI will then have to tell more as the code doesn't show me anything odd

Let's recompile NALA to make sure there isn't any binary conflict or anything

I guess something didn't go well between the NIL linker and the underlying Kthura API in NALA

At least I got a save in the test room now, so that makes things easier on me

Take V

DANG!

Take IV

About time!

Well, this syntax error in Irravonia's fly script was at least a RELATED bug!

Take III

Unrelated bug, but there was a crash in Rebecca's skill up script

And a lot of time wasted!

Take II

Or so I thought?

Error on AltExperience???? It's been scripted to ignore it when it's nil

Take I

This SHOULD do the trick, but this is a toughy... Not much code, but that doesn't make it easier....

Yeah, I went too fast, so I have to compile all this crap again.... figures....

InObj check

made sure that if the spot where Irravonia has to end up has been blocked, the fly routine will ignore the rest of its code

Must be recompiled as a result, though

API supports block checking now

I've the clickable areas of Irravonia's button to the (for now) empty function which will make things actually happen

I'm not feeling well, so I have to call it for now... Especially since the detection of Irravonia to fly or not is a bit ... shall we say... terrible to check out well...

Another Take

Case Error

All I can test now is if the walk instruction is ignored when the button is clicked

Linked the clicking process to the pesonal actions, but I need to note, no visual effect will happen... yet!

Well... I'll be!

And now to find out if this works at all!

Draw call back linked

Up-to-date

Generated a new "ANYWAY" script

A quick meta table has been written that links to all personal action scripts.... This link needs to be linked to as well, but that's a different story, eh?

Irravonia's draw action for personal action... All it does it putting the button on screen... That is, once it's being linked to, which has not yet been done

Irravonia's personal action button

Skeletons for the personal action scripts

I made my auto-version-lic-updater stop adding needing whitelines... At least... I hope so!

I've set up a model for using in game when personal actions are required

Linking them all to Game Jolt now

Well created a lot dedicated to oversoul

This is merely needed to attach some achievements on

Added a counter for oversoul kills

Fixed that!

Oversoul coloring appeared to affect other things...

That appears to cover things right

Take XXVI

Now fixed for real (I hope)

STOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOPID!

Take XXV

SHOULD be fixed now

However now an oversoul enemy will keep on going oversoul which is also not good

The most important obstacles are out of the way now

Take XXIV

Fixed that

My fix was done too fast, so I forgot a proper "end" keyword

Take XXIII

Illegal function return
