Take VIII

"fix"

Take VII

Let's see if this works ... :-/

Still no good!

Take VI

Xtra lib import

Take V

Acceptance link

Take IV

Visual effect should be thre now.... :-/

No visisble results either

No crahses yet, but

Take III

Be back later

Maybe this is even better

Take II

Local Mistreatment

Take I

Of course, nobody in his right mind would expect this to work in one go, so ....

Auto-Measurement "JumpIn".... This will make the heroes "jump" into battle... At least, they should... :)

Draw

AutoLoad Hero pictures

(Except for the two "guest" characters, as they have some different setups)

Project file adapted in order to make all IDLE combat stances identical to the IDLE walk stance in the field.... This may change for some characers, but for now this will do

All heroes are by default in "houding" (stance) "IDLE"

Foes come later, and NO VISUAL EFFECT YET!

Automated X,Y calculators for the heroes

Everything LOOKS the way it should...

Take III

Lack of "self"

Take II

I also think why the countdown bug in this devlog happens (and it struck again, but this time only Aziella is "seriously hit"). Her appearing twice is not part of this bug... That was just the result of some deliberate configuration I did that led to this coincidence....

Well it was affected, you know!

Rebuilding NALA

NIL function conflict

(Nothing visible will be there, just looking if stuff I got so far works)

And Take I in testing what I got so far!

Some final linkup code I couldn't do before

And now I must attend to some real-life stuff... see you!

Some skeleton code written for compiling heroes

So let's run my little script!

must be recompiled of course

Extendable classes work

The basic concept of extending classes appears to be working now.... But now comes the challenge.... abstracts

And now before I can truly get into business I think I need to make sure extended classes are now possible in NIL (which me luck)

And I've written a generator for the default coordinates in battle

I've been doing some calculations for the correct spots for the heroes to appear on

And time to call it!

cool!

Take VI

Lack of "self"

Take V

Invalid group definition

This should make a better chain

Crap... Not the way I wanted it to be... No matter, I can take care of that ;)

I need to see how I loaded the menu theme though...

Almost there, but one things I need to sort out

Take IV

Instance == nil issue?

Deprecated .NEW() from Audio glue code

Take III

Let's see

But I think I know why

Clicks ignored

Take II

I think I fixed that

And it goes wrong already!

Take I

But I got to test this first so

And from there everything should work like it did before!

Linked "Continue" button to the main menu

Not entirely satisfying, but due to the way the numberics are in the music timing, this will have to do.... Unfortunately!

Take V

Forgotten #

Take IV

Time fine tuning

Crash

Take III

A few time fixes, but more is needed I believe

More info must tell me why it still happens

THAT error should not be possible

Take I

Worked out the show altogether

Ok

Take F

That didn't work

That's still part of take E

Oh yeah, a color calc issue

Take E

Laziness to void an issue

Take D

Rect issue (I think)

Take C

Illegal call

Take B

Code Typo

Take A

#63 -- Appearance Continue Button -- But does it work?

#59

Mouse Coloring Issue

Whiner!

Mouse pointer in all stages except loading

Tune to loader

GOOD! (at last)

Color issue

Almost there!

And the setup was bad anyway

Voided that

.NET error, eh?

Does THIS fix that?

It's beyond me why the "Loading" banner refuses to appear

False start intro music!

Loading times will be longer, but otherwise this won't work.... I guess

Let's do this differently

Take TWO!

Forgotten )

So I can properly test stuff now... Take ONE!

And the JCR6 aliasing re-build process has been done

Finished my dish, and it was delicious

Doing my mince

...

Next to the mushrooms

Carrots done

But as it's getting late I can cut some carrots for my dinner in the meantime

Must re-pack unfortunately... That's gonna take awhile

Linked it to the event

Epicity by Widzy configured to be used in the intro screen

Okay, I needed to fix the bar not being updated!

Let's go

Mouse

ImageFont

And Image loader should be working now

FINALLY I SEE WHAT I WNATED TO SEE

How far am I? MCMLXXV?

Case error

.......

Forward issues

Pleaaase!

I think.....

....?

What will happen if.....?

Impossible error!

Guess.....

And ANOTHER conflict (of the same kind)

And more testing (I really should have numbered them this time)

class conflict

.......

Incorrect class usage

It's fixed... that suffices

I don't wanna talk about it!

And more testing!

To Algemene Definities

MOAR testing

fixed it!

Oh crap!

And another test (and I didn't count them this time) :(

And another one

Let's test some more

Lack of self

Gotta put it to the test

Loader linked to flow

Process bar

I can't imagine I didn't do that one before, actually

ImageLoaded

Debug console linked to the INTRO routine... All other #use files should not be needed (I hope)

So far.... so good!

Take II

Undeclared var

so LET'S GO!

Now things are set up properly, I first need to test if it actually starts up at all....

Added tag SKELETON

Score!

Another one!

Startlink incomplete

A test (don't try this test at home, kids!)

And I've linked the loading script to it!

I've created the base template for the introduction... All it'll do is create a black screen, and other than that... Nothing....

first #59 and #63 as they must be done before any of the others are even possible!

#63

#62

#61

#61

#60

#59

#58

Despite the combat engine being the top priority now, I've decided to get onto the pre-main-menu-intro-screen first. For several reasons.... First of all, because I need to do it anyway, and the more I postpone this, the more hatred I'll have to do this.... and second, because I can get rid a bit of some issues I have with the mouse activating even when the screen is not active more easily that way, as it's really getting under my skin now....

FINALLY!

I think I fixed that one though

NOG STEEDS GEEN WOLKJE AAN DE LUCHT!

Despite the meaning of that Dutch Idiom, this is not a good thing!

Illegal Function Call

That bug did confirm the fix on the former

Illegal class call

No cloud textures properly assigned

PERFECT... Except for... the missing clouds....

and lowered the tree frequence in otder to get a more natural flow

And more random factor done

y line trees adepted as that was not ENTIRELY right!

Now THAT is more like it!

Let's see if that's true or not
