It's all not over yet, but I think most of the important trouble has been taken care of..... I will now need a break first.

And those are assigned to be learned by Aziella.... Required levels differ per difficulty setting

Shield

Protect

Hyper

Double Bolt

Blunt

Now due to the way the current timer has been setup, and the many slowdowns I am experiencing in the game, I won't add this to Aziella's spell list yet... This to prevent trouble.... One spell is not worth that much trouble this specific spell can give.

Accelerator

Lunch.... Yeah I was a bit late... I know

Taken a shower

Eric can learn this ability.... requirements vary based on the chosen difficulty setting

Bacteria sword

Not there yet, though.... FAR from it!

Extra feature that was not present in the original game is that the boss will copy the target's statistics when studying them. The copied stat will after that be multiplied based on the player's chosen difficulty setting!

Study abilities

Set up a link for AI access from abilities

Apparently yes

The lied down again where she did cause trouble before... Is everything fine now?

I've scripted the basis of Blenchy's AI.... Of course it needs to be noted that a lot of stuff this AI needs for extra is not yet present... It's just the AI itself....

The rest of the story I won't repeat... Got lost because the cat lied down on some cables crashing this devlog.... Geez... why are computers too delicate to handle homes were cats live?

Today I'd like to focus on the boss

This should fix #191

Merya not tagged when her sealed boss is defeated

That worked

Pre-boss script

random encounters are in order!

Well, let's throw everything to da test!

Won't stay forever that way though, and that boss will have a pretty complicated AI

Technically the game is playable now to the final boss, although the boss before that is skipped....

Random encounters set for the final dungeon

Take IV

All is cool!

So I'll be back later!

It's 6 o'clock and time for the news!

Bad ability reference

I do not know if this speeds up the flow during the IDLE mode, but I hope it does, as this speed was ridiculous

Sped up buff checks in combat....

Take III

Ah, so that is why!

Slime king picture doesn't exist? I don't think so!

Take II

Sealed boss definition error

Some real-life business came in my way

Take I

Okay, time to resume the patrol

And some "real life" business I must take care of now!

H.R.M. King Slime

Ultracrush

Red seal in the keep tagged as such

Art Slime King

And that concludes all crap for #130

IT WORKS!

Take II

Syntax error

Let's see!

All I can check is if the game doesn't crash on this, and how the logs behave.... That SHOULD suffice.... During the first grand game test we'll find out if that is actually true or not.... :-/

Savepoint buff reset

#130

All clear!

Syntax error in project file

Take THREE!

Alias error!

Take TWO!

Syntax error

And then, I'm ready for kick-off..... Take ONE!

A few mintor things

This too is a bit feeling in the dark when testing.... But I guess I still gotta give it a shot!

And Eric can now dispell too

Scyndi, Aziëlla and Irravonia updated respectively to learn these abilities

Sanctuary

Skill experience fault in Dispell Magic

Switched Data

Vanish

Irravonia's version of Yggdrassil

Dispell Magic

Laterz

Running

I really must call it a day now....

Don't announce all nul-buffs

Shot IV

Trivial fix, yet needed to prevent another crash

Get me through this

Shot III

Wrong identifier

Shot II

"nil" value error

Shot I

Testing this is hard, but I'll give it a shot! (if not more) :(

Permanence

Using the spell now will crash the game!

Permanence

Minor permanence issue

Everything is cool now!

Take II

I hope I fixed thatissue this way

but slows down the game

The basic principal works

Take I

While walking in the field Buffs and Debuffs you got in battle should fade away... The speed of this, is (of course) dependent on your chosen difficulty setting

And that'll be all fo rnow... I'm tired!

Invalid data for "War Shout!"

Let's see

Target info in auto help... Something I should have done before!

That works as it should work!

Let's see if that works!

Autohelp adapted to this

License and version info (that will be a lot this time, as tons of files were modified in the process)

All issues appear to be accounted for

Take XII

Code Typo

Take XI

Missing property

Take X

Sub-class error

Take IX

I wasn't planning to do this, but this is all I can do to prevent a bigger issue on the way

Permanence voids as soon as a character is on the back-row

the computer claims to have a non-existent fighter.... Shouldn't be possible... However... Wait... I think I know what's going on here....

Take VIII

ipairs error

Take VII

Property error

Take VI

Class call error

Take V

Syntax error

Take IV

Dupe identifier

Take III

NIL forwarding issue

Take II

Many stages of stupidity

Take I

Now THIS is gonna be a ride of headaches, so WISH ME LUCK!

Linked to the execution module

Buffing itself has been scripted.... This does nothing yet though, as it has not yet been linked to the execution module of the combat flow

this ability of Rebecca's was supposed to up everybody's strength by 250%

War Shout!

I've set the stat up and down in the target module now

Some values have been nerfed

I thought I had all errors, but some bugs still did slip through it appears

Not a record, but hey, it's still a lot!

Take XVI

Well I hope this is all parse crap accounted for so I can get onto the ACTUAL stuff at hand

Code typo

Take XV

Aha! Fault found!

Take XIV

Hopefully that voids whatever it is it claims

I've made a few line adaptions that may NEVER change any effect, but which could still enforce a few things

I get a very etremely odd error....

Take XIII

Non working fuck

Take XII

It's been fixed now, though

one letter!

Take XI

Do I have them all now?

Take X

Another NIL issue void

Take IX

Watched the news

Forgotten replacement

Take VIII

And that voids another issue

I've made a very dirty link

Another void is needed I suppose

Take VII

That has been fixed

if != for

Take VI

I hope!

Aaaah, so THAT's it!

Void ignored???

Take V

This game won't benefit from that anymore.... It's too late to make the game compatible with the new language.

Bypassed non-forwarding support.... This is an issue in NIL that I cannot tackle.... I do have plans to replace NIL with a better concept, as NIL did have its pros over Lua... But unfortunately also a few cons that bothered the hell outta me during this game's production....

Take IV

A few syntax issues

Take III

Two lack of "self" cases

Take II

And that takes care of the first crash

Anyway

Take I

All I can test... for now is that the game doesn't crash over anything trivial

I've linked this to the IDLE stage update routine

Buff time manipulator

Dzgjymza's castle

All map stuff accounted for!

Take III

Exit wind error

Take II

And that should fix everything
