A few things I now need to take in order, as "Hard" is not the same as "Frustrating"

I'll be cheating my way through this... My most important concern is that it works... I don't expect to be able to get through this myself and even if I am, I may make the hard mode even harder at some points anyway :P

Now with the easy mode fully tested now comes the terrible part... Testing the hard mode

Yup!

Take V

I hope

Good thing I still tested that

Take IV

Fine tuning

Take III

WERK CONSEQUENT, JEROEN!

Take II

Syntax error

And now to see if it actually works, or not!

And that should link it all together

Adapted

Holy Shit

Anyway the choir is needed for the "Holy Shit" animation

Did stuff once again end up in the wrong log... Oh why do I even still care?

Choir sound

Removing all object files anyway.... This makes 100% sure EVERYTHING, including Kthura is rebuilt

The quest is now for how the lower case records still came to be.... I may need to delete all object files to be sure Kthura is entirely rebuild (so I can be sure it's the famous Visual Studio bug of not re-compiling when it should happen).

Lower and upper case still seem to conflict regardless of the impossibilities here.... I do not know if this is a Kthura issue or a link up issue

More debug crap!

Well, so more debugging, I suppose... This is really getting depressing

More crap to see what is going on.... There is nothing that can allow this to happen!

And let's see what results pop up this time!

And I added an extra debug line which must shine a light on matters

In order to prevent conflicts I've set a few functions into statics

So far my search makes even less sense

Project file

Quickest way to do that is by just running the building script

Update to project file required

Take that literally

Shit

Astonishing.... LoadTex has received a NULL pointer for a map.... The question is how THAT could happen... That will be very extremely hard (next to impossible) to pinpoint!

Now things are getting odd... LoadTex didn't receive a Kthura Map.... Whatever that means... I really need to sort it out!

More stuff fixed

Next stop, the HARD mode!

Okay, and everything in Dyrt works

(All this ended up in the wrong devlog, so I hope I got it all covered)

Up-to-date

#251

And "My Bonnie is over the Ocean" wasn't counted as a New Game+ achievement

#270

#269

The Wastelands work though

VERY important bug found.... Requires immediate attention!

Well I guess I gotta resume the tests ;)

And I made sure the girls only appear in Xenor Forest once you've done at Zondra's Grave you have to do

I can at least say that Zondra's Grave works

Of course, given the nature of confusion loads of bugs can still happen, so you never know for sure!

I think I fixed it... It was actually more trivial than I could ever imagine

This was expected to happen, or at least that it wouldn't go without issues in one go.... oh well...

#271

Let's move!

I guess I should start now on Zondra's Grave... or somewhere there, I believe... Oh well, let's see...

Let's resume the action

Black Prison Works!

I plan to do the test for Frendor Bushes, and the Black Prison... Perhaps Zondra's prison too, but I'll have to see

Talk with Jennifer works

Frundarmon's basement works the way it should

I'll resume with the Frundarmon Basement sidequest, and I will stop at the entrance of the Dark Storage... At least for this session, as I may run some more

And that's where it ends... FIne!

Rejoining of the party

Frundarmon's mansion

Purple Forest

Felixium

Cat Beach

Alpha Update

All in all, so far, so good!

And the game switches over properly to Rebecca and her team

And so does Malabia's Temple

And so does Malabia's cave

And so does Rayal city

At least Fruskbrando works

Some extra debug lines will have to provide an answer I think

DA FUUUUUUCK!

Well?

Extra safety pre-caution then?

And I cannot explain why, but let's check a few things out here

It happened again!

Let's test again, and I really don't know if what just happened can happen again (this is really beyond strange)

Some work donehere

What happened now is beyond explanation

Let's see more then

Up to Rayal by night all is cool

#139

#139

I see Github.com now supports a DARK MODE, and all DECENT people now think FINALLY! (better late than never, eh?)

As this search may take forever... Or at least long enough NOT to wait for it, I might as well do some work on my C++ projects in the meantime

I'm doing a search for #139

As I thought the wrong image issue is most of all in the English version... This should mean that the English and Dutch versions of those scenarios are not completely in sync.... I will have to sort out later how to fix that, though

Alpha Update

I hope!

The GameJolt Crash keeps there, eh?

Okay! NOW! it works!

For real this time... I hope?

Or so I thought

Well, this is an important fix! The door to Juggernaut could be passed before opening it with the black Orbs

Backup Time

Fix confirmed

Let's see

(I think)

I guess I gotta find out how come!

Croc Bite Crashes the game?

Updating on Game Jolt... Hang on!

And since the correct boss happens to be Juggernaut, it's quite important this achievement works the way it SHOULD work!

"Bright Eyes" was awarded for the wrong boss

I am now doing some searching work for my C++ work.... Depending on the outcome will I resume testing here, or get to work there....

#257

#257

#257

As well as the Sheck-Lock boss fight

As well as the White Dragon Cave

As well as the Green Dragon Cave

As well as Frendor

As well as Iskarderiu

As well as Iskarderiu Forest

So far the Madhouse seems to work

And I could properly get into the madhouse and the Science Facility

Dragon Crack Forest appears to be in order

Some English text from the Dutch translation has been removed

Chapter 1 is confirmed to be OK

Take III

Code order error

Take II

The NIL declaration non-constant definition issue

A few errors in the Dutch translation

(If I get past Jeracko without him using his "Jeracko Spin" even once, I'll have to get back about confusion later).

Take I

That required an icon transfer of course!

Confusion icon

No telling yet if it works the way it should, but we'll see

Confusion

#268

Door to the Lost Ark is indeed closed during the normal Game (where it's confirmed to be open during the New Game +)

Translation error

And the session to test the Easy mode has begun!

And now the test for the EASY mode will begine.... Some issues still in the issue tracker will (hopefully) fixed while on the road

Archived the savegames of the New Game+ test

A bit less increasings on the skill level ups....

AT LAST!

(This is frustrating, but does at least guarantee that all faulty tags in the maps are fixed, and that is worth a lot)

Take XVI

Another one

Take XV

Another item reference

Ah yes, I must regenerated this crap first

Take XIV

Take XIII delivered that one

Bad item tag in the Death Caves

Take XII

Fix ignored

WTF?

Take XI first!

This forces me to make sure the alpha on Game Jolt is up to date, today!

It was just a matter of luck non of those led to crashes.... Or bad luck as I would have discovered this earlier if it did lead to crashes!

Fixed Item Tag Error in Xenor Bushes North

Item tag error in Xenor Bushes

And Take X

I did need to regenerate the registry though

A few fixups in the generator causing the code tag of the items to appear in stead of the name

Almost there!

Take IX

Field error

Take VIII

Code order issue???

Take VII

Declaration error!

Take VI

comment error

Take V

Let's try this then?

WTF?

At least I do have something far more good to announce here.

It's only a bit overshadowed by idiocy from the government!

Take IV

Reference error

Take III

Case error

Take II

A few issues with Rubines script

My trust in the Dutch government is definitely gone now, and the only way they can restore it is by an immediately dissolution of De Staten Generaal. And banning ALL its current members (no exceptions) life long from every saying ANYTHING at all about politics and most of all about medical issues.

Two things are inifinite: The universe and human stupidity, and I'm not so sure about the universe!

The problem is that the people Einstein are talking about are the people who are now in charge of acting RESPONSIBLY in these times of crisis.... I hope when the next pandemic comes we have at least COMPETENT politicians... But I guess that's just wishful thinking!

Rubine

Rubine

Rubine

Unlike the other members of the Hall of Heroes, Rubine will not get her own subscreen, but merely tell you about an item and how much % chance you have to find it in a certain dungeon

Rubine's data

All done

This will take awhile

The basis of the generator has been set up, however I now need to make sure all data is properly saved

Most of my generator programs were coded in Go, but Go is a crap language, and the code I need to write now too complex to handle in Go, so C# will have to do... The project wise way C# has been set up is not exactly handy, but hey, it will have to do... Right?

Before I am going to fully test the easy mode of the game,I do need to get the stuff for Rubine in order, as my first tests will be in the normal New Game, I cannot test if she works during that test.....

It works now!

Take III

Trophy for New Game + not working?

Take II

Trouble with the achievements

The prize Juggernaut dropped could not be equipped, while it was supposed to be an equippable item
