Take MCCCXXV

(At least, it should. It's not the first time this lie pops up, you know).

I've now replaced the .hot with a .dtqsl file. The latter is just a GINIE file. That should get some lies out of the way.

The lie goes on... HotSpot error was the reason... This error can only be caused if there is no comma in the hotspot file... The joke is, however... there is.

Take MCCCXXIV

Expanded the image loader in SCI, so I can see WTF goes on here (at least, that's what I hope for).

The same lie, but now in a different line. The image tag "COMBAT_TIMEPOINTFOE" DOES exist. In fact, it was created and defined TWICE now.

Take MCCCXXIII

I had to remove the XDraw calls in the time guage. Now this will stop them from turning around during the "Jeracko Spin" SpellAni. That's not really cool, I guess, but not worth the trouble to bother with either. Back then I just put it in for fun and it was only one letter of code difference. I SCI this won't work like that.

Well when the computer lies I guess I gotta pretend I "believe" the lie

The log is now contradicting itself

Take MCCCXX

Take MCCCXIX

Now okay?

C++ issue

Take MCCCXVIII

well?

Now the computer starts LYING. The log confirms this to be a lie. Yet the game crashes with this lie as motivation. That requires a thorough investigation.

Take MCCCXVII

Init trouble!

Take MCCCXVI

Lines that have become obsolute due to Scyndi being case INsensitive (unlike NIL). These lines now only cause a stack overflow!

Truth is that this map was not yet needed, but the transfer tool transfers the needed textures in the process and one of them was needed in the arena I need for this place.

Default AI converted

Don't take that term too literally, as it's not real AI. But in RPGs we do speak of AI when it comes to the routine planning the enemy's moves.

It appears the "self" bug in properties still remains. I wonder why!

Take MCCLXXXIX

And I lost a bit track of things, but let's just throw in another take just to find out, eh?

Okay, closed one tab opened another and that "fixes" all crap. I guess that's Microsoft for ya!

Well, let's adept the generator

Does no battle internal thing use InterVar? How odd!

Take MCCLXXXIII

System wanted enemy level (but since Dyrt doesn't use that kind of getup, I've set an automated 1 here to void it all).

Now I need to run the game for study... Well, it will help me to get things out of the way quicker...

The crash I mentioned earlier was no crash, but the result of a bug in Linux itself when it comes to exit codes. Since this was a lot of generated code in many generated files a high crapload of errors could get past 127 or even 256 and then you get negative numbers. The SCI builder will then get a negative number from Linux (although Scyndi returns the correct number) and think there's a crash.

All compiler crap accounted for!

Take MCCLXXVII

Scyndi does not allow hyphens in filenames (the foe loader should also take this into account)

Take MCCLXXVI

Well, this fix WILL change the gameplay greatly, as the change Merya will now steal money in stead of items has become greater due to this bugfix.

She was supposed to do that in the original, so actually the harm has gone!

Done

Asjemenou!

I just discovered a bug in the original NIL scripts. Well, I guess I gotta fix that one up.

Take MCCLXXV

This is a bit beyond me, but let's try a few things

Scyndi has a few bugs I need to void

I can't determine the crash... yet... but at least I got string.format fixed to sprintf. Mere code rot

Take MCCLXVIII

Hmm... The compiler crashed... Why?

Take MCCLXVII

Here it comes again!
