Linked to character

Spores

no crashes, but charm does nothing at all, so my quest to sort out why has begun!

Take VI

And so I could easily fixed a broken enemy referrence

Refixed KTE

But that is for tomorrow

Okay.... I see the death cap is not well tagged in the Kthura map

Take VI

I was right, this was a fault that would have caused a crash anyway even in "pure" Lua code

Syntax error

Take V

Getting the position of this error in the code, this is likely the last direct NIL error, but who knows what is to come

Another one, of a different kind this time

Take IV

Another

Take III

Bad referrence

Take II

I should have added an extra #accept

Take I

Assuming there are no bugs (wishful thinking) everything should work now, except of animals NOT yet appearing in charmed spells... That comes later

Charm check

Which is now still an empty bool function, but hey, everything goes step by step!

Link to charm checker

So that'll be the next step in this operation.

This does NOT yet cause Dernor to learn new moves, oh no.... the checker for that is not yet available

Add Done Charming itself works now, or at least if there are no bugs, as nothing has been tested yet!

I'll start later on the actual first things to do for the charm move, as my time is too short now to even consider starting on that!

Anti-Boss protection for the "Gone" status....

Taken a quick look at a few things I needed to know before really turning things to code

vUpdate

And I guess this is where it must end as I really can't focus anymore

The Gone status change. This status change is basically set up to make "Charm", "SmokeBomb", "Void", and "Blow Away" possible

Since I am not exactly clear minded anymore I won't do much, as I cannot focus that well right now, but I have a few things I can do....

Well that appears to be in order for now

Right, time to sort a few things out... Dernor's charm move is more integrated into the battle system than any other move or spell.... The charm move itself will NOT yet work, but any parse errors can cause the combat routine not to function

My time's up for today... Or at least for the next couple of hours.... I'll have to wait with the charming itself....

And that will do for now when it comes to actual moves to learn... More will have to be added later.

A few non-charm spells added to Dernor's sheet

I've adepted the pollen moves for usage by a playable character

And with that Dernor might well be the only character who has more moves at his disposal when you have a Game Jolt account.... Cool!

I've configured Dernor with the possibility to charm the flowers in Botanica

With that stuff is not yet guaranteed to work when the actual charming begins

Adding the other moves I've listed so far is easy now

Alright!

Now one for which multiple enemies can be charmed (you'll only need one of them, not all)

Of moves of which only one enemy can be charmed this works at least

I need to put this to the test, of coure!

The autohelp should now be able to tell you what Dernor should charm in order to obtain a move

Please note, Charm still does nothing at all, but at least the game should no longer crash when you try to use it now

I've linked his first ability to this skeleton

Trying to work out an environment for Dernor's charming

The time is now right to start on charm, but as it's late at night now, this will have to wait...

The stuff I want to work, does work, good!

Take III

Bad enemy ref

Take II

Misnamed base SASKIA script

Take I

First I will test the dungeon itself now.... Since there are a lot of enemies Dernor will be able to charm I will after that try if I can get that part to work.... One thing at the time goes best, eh?

random treasure

Random encounters for the plains

Grass Plains

Trying to go there now will crash the game

Azquakunda prison

Exit linked to the map and also has to unlock Azquakunda prison

Okay Geany works again

For some reason geany is no longer able to highlight nil files....

Project file set to alias this script for all dungeons needing it

Script for dungeons without any scenario or special things in general (like the grass plains is)

NJCR is now repackaging my music resource

I needed no changes for Azquakunda prison here.... Well that's at least something easy, then....

Set up my music script to include the Alias for the Plains music

Not there yet, though

Linked the map properly to the world map

This LOOKS like the laziest dungeon I created, but nothing could be further from the truth.... I had some trouble in the original game doing this right, and in this remake I also had to take some silly stuff in mind

Grass plains

Watching "Wie is de Mol?"

in between

Time to prepare of the grass plains

That seems to be OK now

Take XIX

Let's try this.... I hope that fixes all this crap

I wonder why this appears 3 times, by the way

ActSplit = {
[1] = "SASKIA",
[2] = "Blenchy"}
ActSplit = {
[1] = "SASKIA",
[2] = "Blenchy"}
ActSplit = {
[1] = "SASKIA",
[2] = "Blenchy"}

The index #2 would not have existed if the error thrown was true (as it would be a NIL value and thus be elimiated by Lua).

The logs eliminate any possibility of what happens here.... But since it still happens, there must be some breach somewhere.

Take XVIII

Whatever is happening, it's bullshit.... Let's make a more proper analysis here

Take XVII

No more silly things?

Syntax Error

Take XVI

???

I really need to fix the direct SASKIA link issue (whatever caused it, as it is not possible... Or at least it shouldn't be... Earlier code tied to it worked, so why doesn't it work anymore?)

Take XV

Last two needed areas

The Merya spot here works, though

Added tag XNA_ISSUE

Take XIV

Cross roads... the hidden exit to the madhouse

ANother mark

Good!

Take XIII

Missing link to world map

Take XII

that

But found a blockmap issue in the Hidden Bushes

Secret

Take XI

White Dragon Cave

Works!

Tagged secret passage Dragon Crack Forest

Works

Take X

There's a travel emblem there you know!

Merya Scan point in Weniaria's temple

Well the detection and showing the results itself appears to be working instantly.... Cool

The first circle effect appears to work at it should, good!

Take Take IX

Bad tags

Take VIII

I've added an Update to the mapscript of the Exams Ruins, but I wonder why that is needed

WTF?

Take VII

Boolean expression error

Take VI

False switch closure removed

Take V

Doing that

must be recompiled as a result

Syntax error in TQMG code in C#

Well still no good, but at least an error that makes sense

Take IV

That has now been fixed of course!

Taking a look at the JCR6 output I saw that Merya.nil was not even included in the Personal Skill folder.... That was not allowed to be possible of course, so some investigation was needed, and what do we see.... A reference to a required library was wrong

Take III

MoAR then.....

No debug information is shown whatsoever

Take II

Debugging is impossible without more information, but I how the #say tag will provide more information

Kaboom.... Don't start up, and no PROPER error message either, except for that importing has failed.... That's FAR from informative

So let's go for it!

Take I

First of all, I'm gonna see if all parse errors are gone, well that's easy, as Merya has been put in the lead in my last save game, everything will crash if that savegame has been loaded when parse errors still exist, however, once all parse errors have been accounted for, I need to put this to the test in an actual dungeon, and then dungeons I already have come to mind. Some of them already got points Merya's ability should react to, you know

I've scripted Merya's personal action, but I am far from sure if it works....

But first I need a break

And with that I can start to script out Merya's scan move

Must be recompiled of course

Everythin linked together now

Link code written

So that automatically link NALA to TQMG, but I'm not there yet

I have placed a link to TQMG in the BUBBLE API

Expanded the TQMG module with a circle function

clicking it does nothing at this point.....

This button should now appear when you put Merya in the lead

Button for Merya's personal action

Take V

Fix in requirement config

Bug in this force set up

Test Take IV

To void this issue

I didn't wanna, but i gotta resort to DIRTY CODE STRAIGHT FROM HELL!

(Thank goodness there is only one more playable character left... Not counting the guest, but that guest will be rather easy, compared to the others).

Bug not showing what Merya needs to unlock new moves

Take III

Fixed?

For some reason.... Neither Dernor's nor Merya's skill levels were accepted by the character initatator

Take II

Charm reference

Here goes nothing

Well Now I can at least check up Merya's ability sheet....

And the moves have been tied to Merya's ability sheet

Follow Me

Fast Draw

Backstab

Intimidate

That one will be safe to use (once Merya has it unlocked, that is).

Virus Stab

Trying to use this move in combat will for now also crash the game

Pickpocket

For now all Dernor can do is Charm and crash the game in the process, but at least he has an ability sheet for now, and that is something I can start working with tomorrow

Trying to use this move in combat will until I scripted this out crash the game

Charm

BRB

Will follow soon.... Just wait for it

Updated

But before that is to happen first a backup, and while it runs I'll be taking a break

Please note that putting Dernor and Merya in the lead is still a bad idea, and that their ability sheets are still crashing the game... Those parts have simply not been scripted yet

All is cool now....

Now?

Forced a fix, as this was pretty stupid, and not worth reloading stuff for
