Lemme first check if Irravonia will indeed gain skill exp for using her missile wand now

Shop Hoer

Added tag STORE

And now a small test is in order

I always hate that about towns

And wrote their respective scenarios

Tagged the "useless" NPCs

Appears to be working

A quick test is in order

The Shop Hoer character will respond to you, however you will not yet have access to her stock, since I didn't work out merchants yet

Shop Hoer

Also note that the NPCs tagged will now crash the game as the scripts they refer to are not yet written

I've placed the NPCs for Doubline -- At this moment only the vendors and the guy giving access to Shanda's castle have been tagged.... The others are therefore not clickable and will be ignored

"Shop Hoer"

#9

Will be starting in 3-2-1

There are no NPCs in Doubline yet... They will soon be placed though, but not yet!

Another test

Blue savespot completely bogus

Let's see!

Not brilliant but it keeps one specific needless error from coming back over and over

Okay, does it work now?

DOH!

And another test

Another Conflict

GRRRR!

No neg

Let's try that again!

No anyway

JCR file corrupted, let's try that again

Trash

Does it work, or does it not?

This is the only time this will happen, because Doubline is the only city you'll visit in chapter 1 and this is done because you cannot enter the worldmap in chapter 1, but in all other chapters you can

Linked Bushes to Doubline

And that was a lot of work I tell ya

Doubline

See ya later

My primary concern will now be to get Doubline properly transferred into this game. It will look the same as in the original however NPCs may be placed a little bit different.

I'll get into abilities in combat later, as it's not important right now

More break time....

Take XXIX

Non-Attack spells were marked as such in the auto-help, but stating the attack had 0% power

Take XVIII

NIL issue

Taek XXVII

A few metatable things I had to know more about.... But that ain't gonna work, so I'll have to find my workabout, but that's not really that much of an issue

Take XXVI

Periods were commas were required

Take XXV

Moves attached to Rebecca

Penta Power Strike

Quatro Power Strike

Triple Power Strike

Double Power Strike

Take XXIV

Added that to Rebecca's start abilities

Quick Strike

Fixed it!

Looked at the wrong spot

a keyword without any additions or removal suddenly "unexpected"?

Take XXIII

Expanded IAA help with automated attacking information

THAT should do it!

Take XXII

Let's see what I can do to fix all this shit I created

I REALLY messed all this up

Take XXI

Things are still not fully right, but I think I'm making progress...

Take XX

Let's see

Things Are going pretty odd

Take XIX

I should have known

No idea if that works, so here goes nothing... Count on where we left... Take XVIII

Set help generator for abilities

updated

Updated

Hover detection

But first I need a break.... See you when I'm all rested up... (and I needed that rest an hour before, but that F_____G cockroaches kept me from that)

Now I need to make sure the hover help for abilities works. That is telling what a move does if mastered, and what you need to do to master it when you haven't yet mastered it

Everything looks fine (for now)

Take XVII

AP cost not properly positioned

Still not good, but at least no more crashes...

Take XVI

was that the last of 'em?

SIIIIGH!

Auto-housekeeping slows me down... sigh

Take XV

....

Take XIV

More fixes

Take XIII

Fixes

Take XII

Abilities mastered from the start will now be shown

Take XI

Case Error

Take X

Typo

Take IX

I've made sure that as soon as a certain secret tag for a character is given, it gets the spells from a character you already have. The reason for this cannot be explained without giving away lethal spoilers.

Missing state

Take VIII

Oh look another one... Basically two expressions were swapped.... DOH!

Take VII

I fixed that

Malformed boolean expression, doh!

Take VI

I've added some extra debug data to figure this out

It seems that certain values are not reset properly... Hmmmm

Take V

Now that I know I can log that, but it's a bug inside NIL itself... I can void it by just making sure there's something at the start of a line, no matter what it is...

White lines and "#pure" do not mix properly it seems

Take IV

Voided now?

Things will only get odder!

Take III

Impossible error and even copying the code into pure Lua confirms the impossibility.... And yet it happens... Why?

Take II

Forgotten declaration

I

At this moment it's not yet able to determine which is mastered from the start or not... I just need to test if something happens at all!

I've set the abilities to show "????" when not yet mastered and the name and AP cost if mastered....

needed skill experience lowered

One of the first things I wanna put focus on now is spells and abilities. This is not one of the easiest things to deal with, but I've done it before so I know I can do it again!

This achievement is a reference to the game Munchkin where there is a rather infamous card with the same name.

Kill the hireling

Time to test this, but I do not expect that much trouble, as this is pretty much routine work

Purple Slime

That appears to be working

A little test is in order!

And linked that to the map

Please, don't go!

#1

Eye of the Tiger works....

Git conflict in this very devlog

I've activated the achievement "Eye of the Tiger" (which is a reference to the song by Survivor, and not that song with "and you're gonna hear me roar" whoever that artist is, as I really don't know her name).

FINALLY!

Take L

Let's pray it is

AAAAAAAAAAARGH!

Take K

URH

Take J

PLEASE?

SIGH!

Take I

.....

Take H

And hopefully I can avoid this Windows bug this way

Swap Killer added

So Windows DOES have an issue here!

A bug that wasn't there before now pops up for the heck of it... But I think I already know what it is... It can only be a swap file not being properly deleted

Take G (is everything ok now.... pleeeease?)

Forgot to spawn after the entire script

Take F

)..

But Take E will tell me if that's true

I think I fixed the boxtext quote bug

Take D

I hope I fixed going to the wrong layer

?????

Take C

Missing ":OnLoad" label in SASKIA script

Take B

Forgotten "use" command

Scenario linkthrough test - Take A

I've scripted the music collection script to alias all music needed in chapter 1, and I've planned to run that script once I'm going to bed... This can save me a lot of wasted time later!

Well I guess that means I'll be taking another break

The script should be completely done now, however I cannot yet test this as the music collection script is still running... This is always a time consuming operation anyway

I've made sure this place always starts with Eric, Irravonia and Rebecca in the party... In that order also

I've set the script to remove the barrier hiding the secret dungeon if you are in fact playing the New Game +

Written the SASKIA mapscript for starting up the Xenor Bushes North

And I linked that to the map file

"Collected" is being used during the Xenor Bushes North

Drinking some coffee and playing a little game on my own... And hopefully brb!

Runing

And I really need a break now, as I'm really getting tired.... I do hope I can still do some work tonight

Finishing touches to area 001

People Human Male and Female

And in the New Game+ this room will provide the entrance to the New Game+ only secret dungeon

This is only a sub-area for scenario, area 002 will be the actual dungeon and just be a one-room mini dungeon also...

Area 001 created for Xenor Bushes North

That appears to be better.... Or not?

Take X

And I removed "Impassible" from the boss... This will prevent further conflicts

In Visual Studio most stuff works now

Take IX

I did something that could fix this, but the shit's not over yet, as I may need to adept the Kthura map as well

I think I confirmed the source of all evil

Take VIII

Now for the actual bug I was looking for

FINALLY

So let's use some FORCE!

It still resfuses to work

And neither does the powershell cp command for some reason

RoboCopy doesn't like the Negative file for some reason

Take VII will take place from Visual Studio, and hopefully this will answer a few questions
