Almost there.... Now it's just a matter of fine tuning

Take X

Does THIS do the trick?

getting closer

Take XI

Let's try this dirty trick

I'm adding some extra debug lines to find out more....

For some reason the boolean expression used to check Smoke Bomb gives true even when there's no way it can.... This not only leads to a cosmetic issue, but also to a memory leak, so this is pretty serious....

Take X

Let's wriggle a bit more....

Take IX

I've set a bit of a routine to slow stuff down

At least the routine does what is has to do, but I am not yet fully happy.... The animation is so fast, that you can not see there is an animation at all.... So this is what I need to focus on

Take VIII

The C string formatter is complaining.... Now I cannot be 100% sure, but I think it's because the integer rule is not fully followed.... I have now forced that to happen, and of course, I gotta see what'll happen next

Take VII

Case error

Take VI

Invalid picture reference

Take V

Lack of self in Smoke Bomb Script

Take IV

I've voided that... I hope

Ah, a famous bug within NIL

Take III

Let's resport to dirty code

I dunno what's happening here

Take II

Quick check even confirms that

Nonsensical error

Take I

Right-o.... ready to test!

Merya will in the easy and casual mode have this ability from the start. In the hard mode she can unlock it when her rogue skills are level LXXV (75) or higher.

Smoke Bomb

Not there yet, though!

Smoke Bomb

Well, Merya and Eric have similar moves, but with a different SpellAni, so I gotta work that out too, eh?

Take VIII

That should do it!

So THAT's why!

Take VII

Let's see

Didn't work, but I think I know why

Take VI

Maybe this will sort things out right

Shower

Almost there

Take V

Debug issue

Take IV by now (I forgot to mention the other two, I guess)

Or maybe.....

According to the log there are no targets.... Now THAT is NOT possible.... (If that claim was true, the tornado visual effect could not appear, that's why I am so sure)....

Some extra information has to tell me why nothing happens at all!

Does not work at all!

Take II

Forgotten referrence

Take I

And I see I also forgot about Merya's "Smoke Bomb".... Well, I can also put that one in

Once this works, I can try the "void" effect, but that will be slightly harder to do

Put into the ability itself

It seems a bit strange to use the SpellAni for this, but trust me, this was the easiest way to go, as it would be best to make the animation and the effect itself blend in perfectly.

Blow Away!

Okay, another go, then....

NIL issue

#95 Will be closed on the next push

Case error

Let's see if this all works...

This will just put more emphasis on things....

ChaChing will also sound during buying and selling....

ChaChing not reloaded on every cash pickup on the field

Tested the sealed bosses in Fruskbrando and Frandarmon's Basement

Typo in ability "Lightning" (n after the t was missing).

#233 -- Nothing important, but better to take care of it, and should only require to change ONE line of code

I've issued this as #232 to make sure I'll verify this on later tests.... Like I said nothing I can do now.... But future tests will have to help me

Sugarland is present in the SwapKill config script

For some reason the boss in Sugarland didn't appear... Save game analysis also show me why.... For some reason the "Swap Kill" must have failed here... Nothing I can do about that right now.... Unfortuantely...

All I can do is check during the New Game+ check or the easy mode/hard mode check if the boss will appear then.....

Should fix a crash in Sugar World in the process

I've dummied it! Just to make sure

What secret room? Was this some code lost on a spot where it shouldn't belong?

Repo updated

Repo updated

#96

#230

Dominance issue fixed in Xenor

Take III

Fixed that, of course!

That was NOT the way to formt hat boolean expression

I see.... The blue protection!

Take II

Right, that did not go the way I wanted it.... But let's do it differently!

Take I

Well I need to test this now, don't I?

I've linked this to the "Looking for Trouble" ability

I've make it possible for Eric to enforce an encounter when he's looking for trouble... That is if encounters are available in that room.

Eric will not longer walk when you press the "Looking For Trouble" button

DA FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK!!!!!

Now that I'm on it, I'll test another sealed boss!

That works!

Take II

Incorrect class referremce

Time to test "Follow me"!

Project set up True Abyss

My trip to the dentist today (my scooter is broken) on foot sapped me of my energy (the weather is killing me), so I needed a break....

"Follow Me"

Frost Strike

For now I'll have to test if the game itself works the way it should, other than this....

Recompiling

One can never be sure... It's all experimental.... So overtime I will find out....

And I also made a small update to TQMG about this....

Hmmmm.... Maybe I've found the solution.... This is interesting....

I do have an idea that will at least make things take more time before another "Out of Memory" crash is due... It's clear the C# Garbage Collector is not operating the way it should... That or some hidden references untraceable to me appear to linger somewhere.

Clearly the music is still a critical point and not properly unloaded when it should.... Since I got no other means to force C# to do it (I thought C#'s memory manager was more robust than this, but I clearly over-estimated it, after having worked with BlitzMax... To bad that compiler went down the drain).... I do have a few ideas.... This will not completely eradicate the issue, but at least give me more airspace to breathe....

And I may have tackled the "Wrong Target" bug that occurs if multiple moves are stacked to be learned

Empty "Follow Me" Script... I have to prevent crashes here!

Not much to test in the Black Prison, so that will be a quick go!

#160

FINALLY!

Did I got it now?

Take IV

I wonder

A few extra debug lines

This is getting more and more strange....

Take III

This time???

Take II

This time?

Apparently not!

Testing 1-2-3

I think I fixed #160

Zero Kelvin works now, though...

Blockmap issue

Take IV

increase the speed of the thermometer

Graphic error

Take III

Illegal Function Call!

Take II

Not a group, Jeroen.... A MODULE!

Take I

Zero Kelvin

Termometer for Zero Kelvin

Cosmetic fix.... Jeracko Spin did leave some rotation traces

Will it work THIS time?

Fix ignored!

Take II

Wrong object readout

IDIOT!!!!

So let's go!

Now I cannot yet test this with Eric, but Kirana can help me!

Blizzard spellani linked to blizzard spell

Blizzard

Aziëlla will learn this ability when she reached Befindo Enchants Level 30 in the easy mode, 60 in the Casual Mode and 90 in the Hard Mode.

Purify

So yeah, I can deem this a fix

Better is when the entire switch menu doesn't even appear

Now Kirana can indeed not be switched, however when you still try that in combat the game crashes

I still got a few issues with Dernor's Will... Once I can fully confirm that works #70 can be closed, at last!

#70

#207

Kirana's will works

THe test will have to wait, though....

No aliases in the way, like when Shanda was being scripted

Kirana's Magic Charge (Kirana gains AP at the start of each turn)

Of course, this is gonna take awhile

And as we're on it then, let's put it out right, eh?

Written a quite script to update all crap on Game Jolt -- Since the release of the beta is slowly coming close (no "Land Ho" yet, but the moment for that is coming closer), it was handier that way

All Cool!

The most annoying bugs are often the most trivial ones, and mostly your code is swamped with those....

Almost there

And the burn sound will now sound on the right moment

Sped animation up

Almost there

Extension error!

Missing "end"

Illegal Method Call

file on the wrong spot

Corona

Linked to the spell Corona

Corona

NO! This has nothing to do with a certain virus!

Corona Art

Take II

Maybe this works better?

The code I used was very extremely DIRTY you know...

My next fight against Sheck-Lock will have to show if this all works the way it was intended

Linked to the action module

Characters replaced after being targeted will be purged out of the target chain when the action begin

Oh no, you don't!

Oh no, you don't!

#155

#155 - Take III

Referrence error

#155 - Take II

Forgotten End

After I had some rest I'm gonna look at #155

Well, let's see...

More chance for poison on Onyx members (except Jeracko who'll remain 100% immune).

Order of Onyx
