I have tried to set up a script that will adept Mort's statistics to Merya's

Finally beginning to feel a little bit better, but it's not 100%, and another day wasted!

Struck by migraine.... And still not better.... Oh well

After I had a break I'll try to work things out here....

Some extra scripting is required though, as Mort will always be as strong as Merya is.

Mort

That's okay!

Pre-Boss

Mort welcomes you

Art Mort Field Sprite

I did a bit calmer today.... I do need some rest, after all.... I DID do a few things though

Things appear to be in order now!

One more

A few hide/show issues

Area 007

Restarted.... It will definitely rebuild the GINI source for the BlitzMax directory a lot faster now....

Let's recompile my backup tool, though

Only programs which are fully recompiled after this moment will benefit from that though.

The GINI source generator has been sped up....

Running -- This will be a totalredo backup, so it WILL take time

Take VI

Missing tag

Take V

Blockmap issue

Take IV

Dominance issue fixed

Take III

A glitch (in the true sense of the word) that allowed you to solve the puzzle quicker.... Nope! Not gonna do that! (this was not a bug, this was really a glitch)

Take II

And that fixes another issue

Done

I forgot a few adaptions to the script are required.... Silly me!

Take I

Area 005

I should have done that sooner, though!

And that goes for Frendor too

Dominance issue on Xenor tackled

Recompiled Kthura

Well, I can worry about that one later.... The current fixes already came a little late (now most maps are already done) :P

There is still a bug with the choice for the Obstacles or TiledArea tab, but I cannot yet truly find out where the evil lies with that one

Quicker scroll in Kthura textures

A bit of an enhancement to the scroller so Used and All have their own setting here

Some input issues in the textbox selector of Kthura

And that's all for today

Running

Does not warrant another test, though!

A few puzzle fixes

Take I

Area 005

All appears to be fine now

Take II

Link to this room was not working properly

I still need to test if it works, though

Nothing more but a save room

room 004

Everything works the way it should work

And so we still need a take II (sigh)

Script macro error

Take I (and only take I hope)

Time to check this all out, eh?

And Some decorations done

Area 003 - Black Prison

I've run my compilation script

I've put in a "NoCrash" mode, which should allow the game to continue of the Out Of Memory error occurs... that is, if the error doesn't happen during closure, as that is something I cannot yet properly tell.

Tomorrow is a busy day, so very likely not much time to work on the game.... However, setting the rest of the dungeon up is easy now, so doncha worry!

Running

What will THIS do?

GRRR!

Take VI

Lack of "Self"

Take V

Let's see if this fixes Merya not lying dead

Take VI

I hope this fixes that!

But not quite

Almost

Take V

Illegal Method Call

Take IV

That's now been fixed (of course)

Wrong constructor

Take III

Field attached to wrong class

Take II

And I did make a little error on the actor texturing

Of course, we only know for sure once we tested that, so here goes!

Guards should now kill Merya when they see her

Guard check script

Guard check script

Gunshot sound

Wrong debug data

Fix

Take IV

? nil index?

Take III

Another

Take II

Unknown identifiers

Let's put it all to the test, shall we?

This does NOT yet mean the guards will register Merya, as that part has not yet been done. I merely set up the data generation scripts needed to make this all possible, that's all!

The Guard Auto-Configuration script has been written

Illness struck me today.... That is a major setback due to the complicated stuff I got to do today, but I guess that's Murphy's Law!

Laterz!

Wish me luck on that one

As the guards themselves can give me some complicated code, I'll leave that for tomorrow

Except for the guard ignoring you for now, everything works.....

Let's check it all out!

the guard's not yet been scripted so for now he'll ignore you, but I needed him here already so I can lateron write my initiation script

Ready for testing

Everything's properly linked

Put into the mapscripting

Sneaking

Guards for the Black Prison

And that will do for the time being... see ya later!

Updated

I will have to sort out the stuff for the guard sneak game later....

Respository Updated

Respository Updated

Running

Let's see now!

Blockmap was not yet entirely solid it seems

And let's see how it all comes together now!

Leaving the exterior south made nothing happen at all

Blockmap issue on exterior part of the Black Prison

Spot error

Why does this happen all the time?

again?

Let's do it again!

Bad build

Let's see what'll happen, eh?

And That should link it all together

MapTag set welll

Ask to leave

Dernor

In concern of #153.... No alarming beeps were heard during a savegame. All this means though is that all entries are properly closed before disposal from the memory, so I cannot really draw conclusions as far as the bug itself is concerned.

So far this all works

Let's see if it works now

And I made sure it doesn't appear again when you leave and come back before completing this place

And the intro text will now also appear

Scyndi scenerion not properly tagged, so link didn't work

Except Dernor... speaking to him will (for now) crash the game

All NPCs should be linked now

Barrier to the dungeon itself should remove itself when you didn't do this mission before (this saves me the trouble of having to remove all guards later on... More trouble than it's worth, I tell ya!)

Only Merya will remain as playable when you arrive here UNLESS you already did this place before

Preparations to get some start things going

Added all playable characters, except Merya (and Eric for obvious reasons) to the entrance of the prison

Black Prison Scenario

I've added a few extra debug lines in order to investigate #153 -- Please note I do not know if the evil of the error lies here, but at least this should rule it out AND even produce a warning! If beeps sound now during the savegame sequence, we can be pretty sure the evil lies here, or at least it means it cannot be ruled out!

So far, everything works the way it should.... Good!

So let's get to it... Take I

Now the dungeon will NOT function the way it should... as a matter of fact a barrier will even appear at the first floor, but at least I can test a few other things along the way

Configured

Basis map Script

Area 001 Black Prison

Entrance Area Black Prison

Please note! Just as in the original game, the Black Prison is different than other dungeons. Merya has to do this place all alone, and won't go into random encounters, but in stead she must sneak her way around the guards without being seen. Only the boss will be a fight here.

Texture selection Black Prison

Well, I'll be... for a change everything works the way it should in ONCE!

Let's see

Exit of this dungeon at the completion point done

Run (through the) Forest! Run!

Black Prison

But I could do a few preps for putting in the dungeon completion event

It's too hot to work today

Running

See ya later

But I'm done for today..... I need some rest now, and the game is quite certain not to allow me to take it, so I guess I'll have to go for this forcefully

Another one of this kind

Take XII

Now then?

fix ignored

Take XI

Illegal encounter definition

Take X

Blockmap issues

Take IX

Random encounter settings

Project file set

Kirana attacking animation

Kirana death pose

Things are running smoothly, but a few more things really need to be done here....

Take VIII

Wrong math function for alt attack calculation

Take VII

Cheetah

Take VI

AltAttack Code typo

Take V

Case Error

Take IV

Stone Master Sheck-Lock works

Error in Dernor's ability list

Take III

Defintion fault in Stone Master Sheck-Lock

Take II

So that has been done now

Forgot to link Sheck-Lock to the mapscript as stone master
