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

Though I do have hunch what causes it.... :-/

Let's sync with VisualStudio as this error keeps going more and more into the impossible.

Still no good?

And Take VI can (hopefully) now tell me more!

Requires me to rebuild NALA... Should not be needed, but I must pinpoint this issue

Detailed Error constructor

The nonsense behind the error is confirmed by the debugger, so now I wonder what it is then...

Take V

Take IV

RIIIIIIIGHT!

Take III

A tag overview will have to provide some answers

still no good

Take II

I hope this voids it (as you cannot fix what ain't broken)

WalkTo Target not willing to operate

And this justifies a test even though the map the SASKIA script links to doesn't yet exist

I've set up tons of scripting to set it alright....

Some old stuff I need now

Adaption for post boss scenario

The transfer appears to be succesful

End exam scenario

I've set up a script to speed this all up

And that fixes the issue in the process

So I recompiled this

Ah, not a bug, but an outdated .exe file....

And I really must fix that bug in the tag counter

New ability scenario

For the short term my focus will be in getting the post-boss script done, which also includes another part in jail... Prologue #3 will still be with Eric, Irravonia and Rebecca and here we'll actually see the first mission in which a part of which the story is going will be shown. This will therefore be quite some work.... During my workout here, I also plan to take care of the abilities, and then the combat engine is done at last... well, for most part, as there are still a few more things to do....

Started

Updated

Updated

And now everything appears to be the way it should be, as I now get the error for the missing post-boss script, which is indeed good, since that script has yet to be written

Take VII

Syntax error

Take VI

Illegal function call

Take V

I hope I fixed them, but I had a few file conflicts, so I need to test this

as the game crashes upon a few nasty things that should not happen, so I'm afraid I need it

I've added the Jack the Ripper mode, which kills off any enemy at one blow... This is for debugging purposes and killing the same boss over and over is gonna eat too much time.

And I have a pizza in my oven, so I may soon have to take a break in order to eat it

And now moving on to test IV

That was done after take III which I forgot to announce

And added that to the item drops of the boss

Potion

So I lowered the HP of the boss

Well some balancing is in order

Added tag BOOST

Added tag NERF

Take II

Victory for NIL! This was the reason I invented it

Misspelled variable

Take I

And not to move things on, and therefore the test count also goes on

Healing

Potion

Item removal has been added

That worked quicker than I expected

Take II

Lack of "self"

Take I

Items are NOT yet subtracted in the inventory list, but that will happen soon... that's actually the easiest part to implement

Okay, I can try to test things out, but this is NOT gonna be easy, and I do expect many cockroaches....

I've also set up a linkback to the combat routine once the item has been selected

Made sure clicking characters won't take any effect at all when in combat

That brings me far from what it should be, but a bit closer than where I was....

The item selector will pass the data through to the action creator....

And I set that into some linkage code

A small study on a few important things

It works....

Take III

Got it!

That error cannot be possible, so why does it still appear?

Take II

Some syntax errors

the link appears to work, but I made a few parse errors to the state being linked to

And let's see if the little stuff I have works already

I did make up a kind of link to the item menu from the combat engine...
This does not yet cover everything, but I can at least make a little work-out here

I've configured the menus for items and abilities, but THAT was actually the EASY part.....

With the wipe in order, I can now try to see if items are going to work.... This is more complicated than it appears, so it will take me some time.... I already planned ahead, so at least some work is already done before the combat engine was even started on...

It works

Take II

An I see why that happened

It seems the spawning did not happen the way it should

Take I

Well, the only way to test all this is by simply going into combat and to lose on purpose....

But now it is

A wipe-out script... This has not yet been linked to the combat routine

Coord spawn features

I've build a routine that will wipe all SASKIA sessions terminating them all in the process... The scripts however will not be removed from the memory... Only the sessions

And now I'm really gonna call it as I'm getting sleepy

The scripts should force a reset now, but later tests will have to work this all out!

Good!

Let's try out if I'm right or not

I think I fixed that

So let's try that again

I do not know (or even WANT to know) why the last "HUH" only shows a blue square

Well?

Case error?

Am I right?

And I think I know why

NOTHING happens, at all!

Let's see

And a few fixes in that

Okay, I've made a start to make sure respawn is set

Well that should do it... see ya

Updated

Updated

Is running

But for now I'm gonna call it

This would be a good moment to implement wipe-out and item usage in combat

It works as far as it can work for now

Take V

Forgot to "Neg"

Take IV

MapText referrence error

Take III

Syntax error

Take II

Forgotten link mod

Take I

The game WILL crash once you defeated the boss... That's because the post boss has not yet been taken care off, and due to the complexity of the stuff that will also be for after the weekend, I'm afraid

Yum!

Before I'll test this all... First I gotta eat!

Linked that all together

Pre-Boss Script

Pre-Boss

Big Tiger

Boss Art

It all works!

Let's see if that works!

Link back to main room

Good!

But a lttle test is still in order!

the way will certainly not

From lobby to boss room should work now

Not that you can get there yet, as there's still loads of stuff to do

I've designed the boss room

Take 4

Illegal function call

Take 3

alright now?

GRRR!

Take 2

?

Take 1

If the layer you're in has a number in stead of a name, the number will show

It's ALL in order.... WHOOOOHOOOOO!

Take IX

And the data about the switch has been stored as well, however I couldn't yet check if that has the desired result, so one more test (I hope) should confirm that

the door is indeed permanently removed, which was supposed to happen

I can tell that the settings of the jewel switches are indeed not counted, however, that is not truly an issue, as that was cosmetic and trying to fix that will ruin more than it actually fixes...

Take VIII

Suffice to say, it's fixed

I won't mention this one

Take VII

Illegal texture referrence

Take VI

Let's seeeeee......

GRRR!

Take V and let's see what happens next....

That will, by the way I set this up link automatically

Switch script

As far as I can check stuff at this moment, everything works

take IV

Malformed initiation

Take III

Code Typo

Take II

Forgotten declaration

Anyway, I'm gonna do a test run.... If everything goes as planned I should get an error still, but it will be because a certain mapscript function has not yet been created.... Let's see

I don't think I'll get my Mah-Jong and Card Solitaire stuff up, but we'll see about that later....

I was a bit backlogged on my daily challenges and the next month starts tomorrow..... So I made sure I was up to par with Jigsaw

If you really wanna know what is in secret boxes, just mark the text with the mouse (no, I don't know how to do that on a phone... I only use USEFUL devices... Not USELESS ones, so how can I know?)

This way you'll never read them accidentally!

Rebecca's line will be by far more informative than Eric's... Just to let you know

Added tag SECRET

Depending on who you put in the lead, Eric or Rebecca will respond to the switch being thrown...

Well the Script-Up code has been written, but it's not over yet!

I can compile NALA in the background to take advantage of this while I work out the rest of the script

Kthura API has been expanded so manipulating and reading object extra data is now possible

Stuck switch

I've linked the switch system to the maploader

Please note that the system is NOT yet complete and that there's still a lot to do before this system works... For starters, the function (or method since that function is inside a class) referred to is currently empty, so nothing will happen at all when you try to throw a switch, except for Eric or Rebecca walking to it...

jcr6/njcr#11

I've protected JCR6 against entries prefixed with a "/".... These will automatically be fixed if encountered in an existing JCR6 file, and even better when creating a new JCR6 file these will be filtered out

I've marked the secret passages in the Exam Ruins.... If you get back here later in the game with Merya in your party, she can find them using her personal skill to look for secret passages
