Take VIII

A few blockmap issues

Parts of the arena removed that can only cause the game to crash and which didn't even serve a purpose anymore (the woes of code cloning)

Take VII

I see that copy-and-paste is not infallible

Take VI

Arena misreference

Take V

Syntax error

GRRRR!

Take IV

Take III

Shift not registered

Take II

Syntax error

Take I

WISH ME LUCK!

And now to test everything out.....

This should cause the game to show this tutorial as soon as you enter the place

Linked to the map

Encounter refill

Scenario of Airom... Most of the stuff in there is no longer relevant, however the scenario around Kirana still is, and that is in there....

Set this mode on

Linkup script

I've scripted an infinity mode for the random encounter settings

I do need however to do something on the encounters here, as the way this dungeon has been desinged will make you run out of encounters very soon, making this place not the way you want it to be

Right! And now I SHOULD be able to reach the point where the party will reach Kirana... That is if everything is works out right....

Curse

I've set up a quick mechanism which will trigger Silence resistance to be checked against curses

Okay, ready to resume the action

I'll get into cursing tomorrow (the game will crash as soon as hag tries to curse you now).

Gremlin

Hag

And so can the Ambrosia

Holy water can now also cure "curse"

Curse

Database error

Adaption to make "Curse" possible

Random encounters configured

Gremlin art

Hag art

Airom

Time to do the encounters.... This can be quite the challenge

A very nasty blockmap issue fixed

Pearl

A quick test is in order now in order to catch wrong treasure references.... Once that test is ok, the next stop will be there the random encounter, and the final step the fight against Kirana (also causing Gagolton to be empty).

Random treasures and secret treasures set

Eel

That should be all secret issues

Almost there

They should all be fixed now, but I need to test all this....

Only ONE secret passage works the way it should

YIKES!

I've already set the music for the next dungeon (to save time later), as I am now gonna watch the news while repackaging....

The secret passages in Airom will now automatically appear and disappear as the player is in them or not

Created

Not perfect, but at some moment you MUST let it go to prevent yourself from going crazy!

Let's see

Although with Kthura conversions from TeddyBear, things are never fully predictable

And the blockmap should now also operate more in accordance of how the map was designed

Irra-platform should now also work

I've recreated the breakwall part, making it more fit for a Kthura level and that should fix the issues there in the process as well....

And the workout on the breakwall halfway needs to be done a lot better!

And the Irra-platform halfway doesn't allow Irravonia to fly onto it... But I think I know why that is

But I do have to deal with some blockmap issues

Well the map loads now, and no more crashes

Take VI

Rotted out the last of 'em?

Take V will have to reveal the last rotten texture, I'm afraid

And removed stuff

Rotted that one thing out some more

CLEARLY

Take IV (I don't expect this to be over yet, though)

And removed them both

And I used Kthura's rotten object removed

Rotten both entires I could still find with this texture

Take IV

Illegal tiled area

Take III

Another wasted take as I forgot about the SASKIA requirement

Take II

#1

And let's see... Take I

Linked worldmap to Kthura

Khura gives me two bleeps on starting up with this map... That means 2 textures cannot be found... I hope that an error message during my test runs will give me more clarity on those

Adepted

Converting this map completely is gonna be a challenge....

Problem solved!

Houston! We got a problem!

Repackaging

Script adepted for proper aliassing

The basic dungeon music by JWH Broeders will be used in the mines of Airom....

That does the trick

Take II

Did I take care of that?

Kirana did not disappear from the map after all the talk here

Most things went well, but

Take I

Kirana

Trying to go to Airom now will (of course) crash the game!

Link to Airom... Needed as Kirana will unlock this location

Call to SASKIA

No DISA suffix required this time. Kirana will already be removed from the map permanently after you spoke to her, since speaking to her unlocks the next mission, and which is also the mission which causes the town to get in its deserted mode

Kirana placed on the map

Now I must note that Kara is actually her true name. Kara Irana. Lord Dzgjymza shortened that to Kirana to mock her, and due her being bound by vows to him she had little choice than to accept it (as Aldarus reminded her to). She did however turn it into a kind of name of honor, forcefully blinding herself refusing to accept that Lord Dzgjymze always loathed her.

Added tag LORE

Alias in code for portrait Kirana under her persona "Kara"

Kirana Boxpic Ok

Kirana Actor

Everything is cool now, and I can start on giving life to the one of the most despicable women I ever created.... Kara Irana aka Kirana

Take I

news and dinner

Karl

Added this to Karl's

Cardinal's robe

Leather Armor

Red dress

Trying to Karl at this point WILL crash the game, though!

Karl's Weapon Stand

Wrecker

Hard Bat

Thief's knife

Whiplash

I did place two barrels which must prevent the player from needlessly entering the NE house... This was already an issue in the original game, but a very annoying one.... This will affect both the populated as the deserted version of town, so no need to make two tests

All NPCs who got to disappear do so accordingly

So that's why one more test in deserted mode

Now except for Kara, all NPCs are present, but Kara won't disappear... in fact she's already off the map as soon as the mission that will spell the disaster starts....

Dog works, and the fact that only Scyndi can understand animal language is picked up too

Cynthia works

Guards worl

Running in the background

Another test

I'm getting tired, mind you!

Code typo

Cynthia and her dog

Juggernaut guards

Almost there.... I only have left Cynthia and her dog, and the guards guarding the Juggernaut room.... Once those two have been taken care of I'll activate the store, and last but not least Kara, the NPC that is actually the key to get further in the game.....

Wesley and Arjen

Yes, they have been named after the Dutch soccer players Arjen Robben en Wesley Sneijder.

Wesley and Arjen have been added to the map (the city guards)

Rosetta article, although it's been scheduled for later

And that concludes Rosetta, or at least as far as Gagolton is concerned as after the disaster in Gagolton Rosetta will move to Independence

Rosetta

Rosetta Again

Illegal group definition

Rosetta

Rosetta

Rosetta

Rosetta Portrait

Rosetta

Rosetta

Rosetta

Sprite Rosetta

All cool now

Again!

A few blockmap issues

Good thing I tested that

Quick test in deserted form

That does not yet mean all NPCs are accounted for, but at least we can work out things more normally

that will make all NPCs actively blocking treasures, so I need to check both the populated town as the deserted

NPC Hans

Ambrosia

Entering and leaving house 3

Retag

NPC John

All cool

Placed one in the city.... In thend you can only obtain it after the city's been deserted

Aquamarine

Almost, but not yet quite

House 2 entry + exit

Arya

That works

Let's go!

I've placed in Xenethor and his wife Fryda... Since Xenethor is the owner of that lab, I can best work this out while I'm still at that place..... so here goes

That works!

So I can test if the scientist will actually kick you out of his basement if you try to enter it

I've for now configured the city to be populated again (I will need an empty town again soon, but now I need the populated version).

Now THAT works

Another test

Link up fix to basement

Let's see if this works

Linked the interior of that house with the city main part

City scenario, but really working that part out is a later concern, but I needed the "get out of my lab" message to be present already

I've worked out the lab, and also created the entrance to the Sugarland bonus dungeon for Game Jolt users, however I will not concern myself with actually creating this dungeon prior to the city being deserted. You cannot enter the place any time sooner anyway

The actual opening of Juggernaut's room and fighting it will of course have to wait until the moment the fight can be unlocked

A few preparations for Juggernaut Anti-Chamber

NOW it works

Take II

But that has been fixed
