Well, that's was that. (Still stuff to do there,though)

And before that I'll have some business here too.

Right... All compiler errors now appear to be accounted for.

However the adventure for SASKIA doesn't end there yet.

I only know if it works the way it should once I'll see SASKIA in action, and it will be along time before I get to that point. I'll need to start the actual Dyrt project to make that happen.

Take XCIII

operator mixup

Added tag STUPIDITY

Take XCII

How many more times will "script" pop up?

Take XCI

"debug"

Take XC

Another one bites the dust!

Take LXXXIX

"script"

Take LXXXVIII

Why are the m and the comma next to each other on my keyboard! AAAARGH!

Take LXXXVII

tonumber

Take LXXXVI

And that was the LAST time Merya's picture came from the Game Jolt server.

Another one

Take LXXXV

"script" was not a keyword in NIL, but it is in Scyndi.

Take LXXXIV

_G

Take LXXXIII

Wrong var

Why do I think it's very likely Take C will be reached PRIOR to the offficial start?

Take LXXXII

Moar!

Take LXXXI

Coderot

Take LXXX

Neither is "debug"

Take LXXIX

tonumber is not a core instruction of Scyndi... No matter!

Take LXXVIII

A few things that nil accepts but Scyndi doesn't. Scyndi is more restrictive in a few things.

Take LXXVII

Head missing

Take LXXVI

DateTime is a handy library so why not convert it to Scyndi. The required changes aren't that much either

Take LXXV

Stack -> Stacker

Take LXXIV

Several fixes

Take LXXIII

SASKIA has been translated from nil to Scyndi - Now there's no guarantee at all that this will work, the "CALL" instruction most of all, may need adaption due to Scyndi's more sophisticated approach on matters.

Good! It tries to include SASKA (even though SASKIA itself is completely incompatible at the present time).

Take LXXII

A little fake script, which will allow me to make it easier to convert SASKIA

SASKIA can now be found on Github in the Scyndi Libs, but please note, the file may end on .scyndi, but it's still a nil source file. The adaptions will come soon.

I know it's lazy, but laziness can sometimes be the most effcient approach.

Added tag LAZY

I've looked up SASKIA. It's a system that has no more use at all in SCI, but copying it into the new version of the game anyway, will save me a lot of headaches, as it allows me to leave loads of code the way it is.

Some more stuff may be added to it, as with the Kthura stuff in particular things may be quite nasty. Oh well.

The BRUN script. Can't live without it

With that, the preparational work is done (aside from completing MyData! Oh well!)

THAT's better!

Take LXXI

That window was WAY too small!

Added tag HUH

Take LXX

Run script

I had to study the results also. The original Dyrt.NET game on which this will be made, uses lzma as main compression. I needed to make sure that's now filtered out, as I don't have any support for that ... right now.

Added tag STUDY

Well, that works

Take LXIX

A quick view script. I will need it bad during the development of this version of the game.

Making this is part of the preparations of all games I make I guess, regardless of engine.

This was testing more than actual development, although I guess the first dungeon has now been transferred in the process.

It's yet still too early to fire the starting shot.

For as far as I can see now stuff appears to be in order.

Take LXVIII

One little config error

Take LXVII

Candle trouble

Take LXVI

Torch trouble

Take LXV

Another attempt

Removed and replaced! 🖕!

some JPBFs

Kthura transfer tool updated

Heroes Art

But first a few more tests on Star Story

Although there are also a few .jpbf cases, so that means it ain't over YET!

Well, I guess the transfer was succesful now

Take LXIV

Well, another one then....

Take LXIII

As this can take awhile I might as well start preparing my dinner. I am getting hungry, to be honest.

Well, I guess I gotta use some search tools then

Added tag SEARCH

Something went wrong, and I need to sort out why that could happen. Some textures appear to be missing. How come?

Added tag KTHURA

Well, as I was trying to say, config for converting maps done

I had to restart Azor as a result

Why does Linux sometimes lockout ALL input from a terminal tab?

Of course, I cannot yet do much, as no visual output will be there. Likely even an error as the assets have not yet been transferred, but hey, ya gotta start SOMEWHERE... right!

Gotcha!

Take LXII

Dir trouble

Take LXI

Added tag CODEROT

Take LX

NALA_Medals no longer exists, I will have to check out later how to deal with this best. Since this only comes back in 4 dungeons, this is not something to be TOO concerned about

Take LIX

I've set up a few libraries that will fake the NALA environment, this to save me a crapload of trouble later

Added tag SCRIPT

Once that part works, I can prepare for the official start (yes even before Star Story is over. That project is about to get into a delay due to Windows issues and also because the voice acting status is not yet final).

Working on converting the start up script

Added tag CONVERT

Syldeyn properly configured

Added tag CONFIG

I've renamed Dyrt.NET to Dyrt -- Too bad renaming the files in this devlog will be too much crap to deal with, but I want to get the name .NET out of everything as much as I can.

I still have work to here as well, you know

But that comes later!

And from there the actual parsing can begin

Take LVIII

Split lines (needed before parsing)

Well, I'm not nearly there YET, but at least everything COMPILES! And that's already worth a lot.

Take LVII

Syntax error

Take LVI

Code Typo

Take LV

Anohter missing }

Take LIV

Ternary syntax error

Take LIII

;

Take LII

Another missing }

Take LI

Bad method

Take L

Missing }

Take XLIX

A few things in MyData III

Well, done some work on Star Story.

See the respective log for that!

Added tag STARSTORY

Today my focus will be put onto Star Story. I need to finish that project soon, after all. However I will also soon resume MyData III, and of course, once Star Story has done, the work here will begin on the project itself. MyData III is just preparation after all.

C++ icon added (and color changed a bit)

And that takes care of that! This was already a bit overdue, although the set ETA for myself was March.

Paperback now also published!

Hardcover published!

Now the hardcover (will take a bit more time).

e-book published... YAY!

Uploading e-book

Dang! I didn't yet have an e-reader app in Linux. Oh well, it was not hard to find one.

Added tag SYSTEM

Forgot to update the index (LibreOffice does not do that automatically as it can slow down things TERRIBLY)

And some layout issues DID pop up here!

Now I'm also in the middle of preparing a novel for publication. And unfortunately, I must give that priority now!

I really need to add the C++ icon, don't I?

Take XLVIII

Missing operator override

Take XLVII

Function set up entirely the wrong way

Take XLVI

HAH! Just include some shit and the function will suddenly DO exist!

Take XLV

Namespace (header)

Take XLIV

2 other cases of that

Take XLIII

;

Take XLII

Take XLI

Sjabloon geschijt van C++

Take XL

Missing namespace std (this is in the header file use "using" was REALLY out of the question!)

Take XXXIX

All I can test so far is if this compiles in C++, but that's where it ends... for now.

Workout so I can get to identifiers and their values

Preparing the library. Paging has always been an important part of MyData. It allows me to categorize the data for a more well-organized view while editing.

MyData III is now ready for actual database, record and field implementation. This ain't gonna be easy, though.

Take XXXVIII

Okay, now for fine tuning

Added tag JUDGMENT

Take XXXVII

It was just a forgotten "return"

Take XXXVI

,

Take XXXV

Case Sensitivity of C++.

I just HATE it!

Take XXXIV

Debug lines must provide some answers

Why?

Added tag INVESTIGATION

Segmentation Fault

Take XXXIII

First too buttons

Take XXXII

Background

I guess it goes without saying that the works on MyData III have only just begun, and that I'll later try to work out the game itself, as my prime concern is for now still Star Story!

Repository updated

Added tag GITHUB

Works too!

Mouse debug

IT WORKS!
