Take VIII

I wonder how many more of those I'll have to endure

Interstate link error

Take VII

Destructive interstate link

Take VI

Interstate link error

Take V

Syntax Error

Take IV

Code typo

Take III

Bad marco referrence

Take II

Lack of self

Had to be rebuild as a result

I've upgraded NIL with quick modifiers... It's still pretty primitive though

I've done the work to make the stock appear

It works!

Take XII

Syntax error

Take XI

Selling items should work now

Take X

Altering the y coordinate of the sell price

Take IX

Illegal table usage

Although a new issue arises in the process....

Yeah, it's fixed

Take VIII

(I hope)

Still no good, eh?

Take VII

That has been fixed

But that could be because none of the items were marked as "sellable"

Nothing happened

Take VI

Sell price put in

That took care of the little devil!

Take V

Let's see

I think I found the issue

This cockroach also affects the normal fieldmenu screen.... Meaning we got indeed a structural issue

For some reason the inventory screen still "locks" the other tabs, and there is no reason why that can happen, but it happens, and as long as I cannot find the reason why this bug cannot be fixed....

Take IV (Or doesn't it?)

"Sell" should just use the inventory screen plus the sell prices... The latter does not yet work (the pre-config will help to make it happen, at least that's the intension), but the former should

All appears fine now!

More issues with SASKIA's jmp instruction I see

Take III

Misformed instruction in SASKIA

Take II

Let's see why SASKIA caused a crash

I've linked the shop hoer to SASKIA.... Silly me of course that wasn't going to work and I've set up SASKIA for a reason...

Did my devlogger crash?

Shop itself is alright, but in a callback only surrounding, I guess a different approach was needed, eh?

ShopHoer will link to the store routine, although it's just two empty tabs now....

Link code to quickly access a merchant's stock

Some pre-config for merchants

Site preparations

Buy and Sell buttons.... As I wanted them to be clear I made them text base, although I drew the letters manually

I'm gonna call it for today! See ya!

#94 But that is a later concern

It works! At last!

Take XXV

And I fixed that... at least this should work now!

I think the fact that I used the wrong variable as indexer is the source of all evil!

No more crashes, but the move is not registered as "learned" and not only that, Rebecca keeps trying to learn the move, over and over and over!

Take XXIV

Illegal constructor call

Take XXIII

Metatable indexing error

Take XXII

Field name incorrect

Take XXI

Now that's done, so no no more issues, I suppose

And thus the fix was ignored

Forgot to save before rebuilding the game

Take XX

That should fix a certain issue

Callback for BoxText Background....

Devlog HMTL generation lag

That does not yet mean everything's fine now, but at least I got something to continue on

The log confirms my claim below.... That's a branch of programming that never made any sense, but it happens countless times.... oddly enough

Take XIX

Sometimes modifying something and bringing it back EXACTLY the way it was "fixes" something, so let's see

Brought code back to its original (by the way not broken) form

Take XVIII

Illegal function call?

Yeah.... right!

Take XVII

What will happen if....

Take XVII (log checking)

Boxtext not loaded! That is a lie.... How do I know... Because the music and the arena could not be loaded either if the claim was true...

Take XVI

Another target issue

Runnin gin the background

Take XV

Target issue

Take XIV

Tag error

Take XIII

Case Error

Getting closer!

Take XII

Dirty code straight from Hell!

Take XI

Declaration error

take X

Abilities mastered from the start should not be checked at all, so "Start" should never have come up here!

Take IX

So some extra debug info will have to do!

I need to find out what happened here

take VIII

Wrong property name

Test Take VII

Illegal class call

Take VI

Wrong set of brackets?

Take V

Use ref error

take IV

Issue

No dirty style table definitions in NIL, Jeroen! You KNOW that!

Take III

WTF was I doing?

Take II

Var typo

And let's pray it works pretty quickly...

Take I

Set up the new ability announcement text

I do realize I forgot something, so I do need to take care of that!

I've set up a system that SHOULD teach new abilities if the requirments are met... I doubt this will go right in one go, and I expect tons of cockroaches, but we'll have to see

check the food in my kitchen

Meta table for quick finding skills for characters

preparations for learning new moves

Let's make sure all my repositories are up-to-date... and get myself a well-deserved break, as my work today may not look much, but it was more complex than it looked!

However I need to take a break now, so I'll keep that for later, likely tonight.... Since this is an important part of the game, I want to do this right... It's not likely I need tons of code for that, but the code I need to write is not really easy to formulate right... That is not a NIL issue... That is just the difficulties of coding in general!

Just as in the original game, the plan is to make nothing happen on the moment you get the required levels to learn a new ability but to replace the attack move on the moment you get the required level (or other requirements for that matter). The way I set things up now, does not really allow that approach, but I did find a way to cheat my way through....

Take V

Wrong static function name?

Take IV

extra #use

Let's check!

The no appearing messages should be fixed now, though

The sound does work, though!

No crashes but the lv up message does not appear

Take II

Forgotten declaration

Take I

New moves will NOT yet be unlocked, this comes later!

I can at least test if leveling up works in general

I've linked the achievements to the max levels... however if this fully works the way it should is very extremely hard to test, especially given the current situation.

Done!

and that covers the characters I currently have... Of course, now I must link them all to Game Jolt

I ain't afraid of no quake (reference to how Duke Nukem mocked the game Quake... prior to the release of Quake, btw)

This world of water (reference to the same named 1980 song by New Musik)

Fångad av en Stormvind (Reference to the winning Eurovision Song Contest entry by Carola from Sweden)

We don't need no water let the motherf**r burn! (Reference to Fire-Water-Burn by the Bloodhound Gang).

Priori Incantatum (reference to the same named phenomenon in the Harry Potter franchize)

Black Valvet (reference to the same named popsong)

The cold never bothered me anyway (no need to explain that one).

The only brew for the brave and true comes from the green dragon (reference to Lord of the Rings, were Merry and Pippin sing this song while dancing on the table in a pub).

Vandaag is rood! (reference to a Dutch pop song by Marco Borsato)

The Sword of Justice (reference to the sword carried by Lady Justice)

Mysterious as the Dark Side of the Moon (reference to: "I'll make a man out of you" from Disney's Mulan)

Skill level up SHOULD work now, but the time's not yet right to test that, but I'm almost there!

Now that Rebecca has a full skill exp bar on her sword skills I can also easily test skill level up, so here goes

Heal in combat was VER Y VERY slow

mini-fix

All's good now!

Take V

sprintf error

Take IV

Tag failure

Take III

That has been fixed of course

Forgot to link the ability list to the combat situation

I wonder why

The ability list is shown blank

Take II

Missing comma.... doh!

Let's check it out - Take I

I made the link from the combat menu to the abilities screen, and except for the fact that AP are neither checked no subtracted yet, this should mean that abilities should work now

And the 'RemoveAP' field will also do nothing ... yet!

I've set up a link between the ability selector and the combat routine... Howeve the combat routine will NOT yet ask for the ability selector so nothing will happen if you select an ability

Take III

I hope I can fix it THIS way

Take II

Ah, a code typo in the declaration line

Fix ignored!

Class issue

Let's see if that has the effect I'm hoping for!

I've tried to link the item usage to this... This should fix a rather complicated to explain bug

I've set up a LM_Action system (LM = Left Mouse... An action to be taken from the status window when the left mouse mouse button has been pressed)

No parse errors, so i hope this works out!

The first level up will still cause some pain, but after that things should automatically fix up, and new characters should not suffer at all!

#93 ... Well at least I hope so....

Take IV
