I've set up a plan board for this dungeon, as this is gonna be complicated

Area 000 Keep

This was only the database that was adapted for all this.... There is no visual effect in the game, yet!

All existing trophies have been adapted for #169

adaption for #169

Scenario

I've brought some basics which will make designing the keep more easy.....

The actual work is yet to begin, though!

Textures Dzgjymza's keep

As in the original game, the music for the keep is "The Dread" by Kevin McLeod

Music for the keep

I've also brought the game into the state that makes it easier for me to get to work on Lord Dzgjymza's keep

It works

No idea if this is gonna work, but here goes nothing!

Leaving Underworld

Take II

Unknown identifier

What SHOULD and what IS are always two different things

But I gotta test to make sure!

Everything should work, except for the portal back to the main game.....

Achievement linked to map

Area 007

Requiesce in pace

Requiesce in pace

Requiesce in pace

Take II

I hope that Lethe cockroach is not fix for once and for all!

Lethe

Take I

Should not be any issue, but hey, ya never know....

Area 006

Alpha updated

Update Backup Database

In the meantime I'll run the backup

Time for a break!

There shouldn't have been random encounters in the boss room, though

AT LAST!

Take XI

Take X

I forgot to mention Take IX, oh well

I hope that is fixed now

Lethe Fix ignored

Stuff

Take VIII

AI setup changed

Take VII

Syntax error

Take VI

I can only hope this fixes stuff

Attack pose Rebecca

The game keeps crashing on Rebecca's missing attack pose... Which is odd, but I guess I need to act now (It never crashed on that before)

AI reconfig

Take V

Meditation

Take IV

Too much

Take III

This would NOT affect the easy mode, but it would affect the casual and the hard mode

Configue script issue

Take II -- Super Valkyrie

And that takes care of that!

And now I must take care of some "real-life" stuff... Yeah, I hate it.... but duty calls

An important phone call came in the way

Music error

Super Valkyrie

Break

Super Valkyrie

Super Valkyrie

Super Valkyrie

Set up boss fight against the Super Valkyrie

area 005

Area 004

Take IX

And my food is in the oven now, but that needs 30 minutes, but I need to feed myself too, eh?

Must fixed if that's true, though

I think I fixed it

It still keeps refusing to work, but I see now what's happening

Take VIII

? Block map issue

Dominance error

Take VII

Wrong way

Take VI

Case error

Take V

And it should be fixed now... At least I hope so!

Aha, it's a directory error

There is however an issue with the scenario files

All parse errors accounted for

Take IV

Misspelled function name

Take III

Case error

Take II

Code Typo

Take I

The question is now.... DOES IT WORK?

Charon scripts

Charon

Start Charon

Charon

Fine tuning some stuff

Preparational script... Does nothing yet, but the things to come are not possible to script without this crap!

Random Treasure.... I forgot about that... silly me

Charon's boat

Charon's boat

Charon

HIs boat is not there yet, and trying to talk to him will (for now) crash the game.

Charon placed on map

Charon Backside

Charon's piers

The sprite is based on this painting of Charon and his ferry by Alexander Litovchenko

Sprite for Charon... Definitely not the best I've done,but it'll have to do

Okay, things apear to work again.... My work device was suddenly off-line for some reason... But the previous message could not have appeared if the issue wasn't properly fixed

.....

Ability list missing link

Running

The stage is set for Charon.... This will also get me some work.... Oh, well...

I will test if this ability works later, though

Eric was supposed to unlock this ability after defeating the Kabi.... I forgot about that....

Yggdrassil

Blue Diamond Armor not in order

And then, it suddenly doesn't happen anymore... Of course, there was never a reason for this to happen in the first place, but this is beyond odd...

Take VII

It DID confrim (and that's the good news) that the arena changes when entering area 002

Arena error

Take VI

I doubt this is it (the crash would have happened earlier if this was, but at this moment I have to sort out anything).

I'm trying out if the issue is in the Draw method in the graphics API....

Take V

Syntax error

Take IV

Tag error

Take III

Apparently that is not what causes the .NET error (couldn't be.... Nothing can be... But it happens... for some non-existent reason).

Take II

My food is in the grill, so this test can get in delay

I cannot say however if this was the reason for the .NET error

I did see a bug that needed fixing

Well first a shower, as I need this after a day like this!

.NET error in user code? Nothing could cause that to happen, and since these errors don't give any clarity, this is gonna be one hell of a job to sort out!

Take I

And now to see if everything works up to the river Styx

Encounter data set

Nice to tell is that the arena is able to adept itself depending on the area you're in.... This because the start is a bit forest like and the rest are caves... This way, I got it all covered that this doesn't mess things up.

Underworld

Restless Spirit

Well, I've also set stuff to test stuff as soon as the repack has been completed

Rebuilding

?

For some reason the ride of the valkyries refuses to get recognized

Drink with me from the river Lethe

Jukebox data

I must repack the music resource as a result

Error in file name "Ride of the Valkyries"

Ritt der Walküre

Lethe

Valkyrie

A few issues with this devlog

Fantastico!

Made scrolling faster

Almost there, but not quite

Versions

Console lag

Code Typo

Scrolling should be working now....

So far.... so good!

X range mouse

Wrong arrow

Let's see

Arrows should appear now in the inventory if scrolling is possible at the given time

So far, so good!

Well the rebuild of the music package is done, so that means some testing can be done

Detection if scrolling can be done

The numbers will also move now when hovering.... This to prevent confusion I had myself in the past

I tried to move the numbers of the items in stock a bit in order to prevent conflicts with the scroll arrows #49

Let's focus on #49 now as that is also very important

As this can take awhile, perhaps I need to focus on a few other things in the meantime, which are also important

Repackaging Music Resource

Packing Script

Adepted packing script

Sounds good enough for me

Audio test

I've been remastering this a little to be fit for the game, without taking up too much space

I found a free to use version of "Ritt der Walküren", in English known is "Ride of the Valkyries". I've a bit decided to mix Nordic mythology and Greek mythology.... The music is planned to be used during the boss fight against "Super Valkyrie"

Valkyrie

I easily get ill when I still do, you know

It should be noted that tomorrow will likely be the hottest day of a heath wave, and like traditional in the Netherlands, it's gonna end in a thunderstorm.... There is no telling how my house will be as a result. I must take this into account, as when it's too hot, I cannot work, and I won't even try!

I'll first get into adding random encounters (that is, after I had a break), and after that Charon will be added. I've taken a look at some existing artwork on him by ancient masters, and that wil be what I'll base my own on.....

Yup! Kthura did its magic!

Take II

Must be recompiled

Insert was not manipulatable by Lua and NIL.... Now it is

Not sure if that works, but we'll see

Water movement

This will be where Charon will have to take you over the Styx, but.... Charon does not appear yet
