I've written the code that should make solving the memory puzzle possible

ALL IS COOL NOW!

Take X

I think I fixed that time-out issue

Take IX

This can allow me to more properly analyse the logs

Time-out protection put in

Game freezes on memory puzzle generation

Take VIII

Code typo

Shopping

That experiment is a success, so I can solve it that way.... Will be easier than trying to fix ZA_Cycle

Take VII to run this little experiment

Let's see if I can cover this up like this

As I though ZA_Cycle was to blame..... I wonder how this could happen though

Take VI

Stack overflow... But nothing can stack up at all, so this is gonna be a long search to clear up

???

take V

The keyword "do" is at the end of a for line obsolete in NIL anyway

Code typo

Note to self... No more C formatting through macros in NIL for the time being...

Take IV

Let's see what this does

Wait a minute.... Things seem to be getting wrong... elsewhere?

And another test... Take III already

So this extra debug line must tell mewhy

Invalid use of % reported by C, but it's hard to pinpoint why that is

Again!

#use error

So a test run is still in order

It's hard to test if it all works now, as there's no visual effect, but maybe the logs can already tell me a lot

And linked them to the map already

I've written the initiator and loader

As there will be multiple dungeons with a memory puzzle (3 to be exact) I will put the memory puzzle script in a separate library to be reloaded each time.... Strictly speaking a hated dependency, but hey, since everything is packed by JCR6 anyway, no danger!

Like always time is an issue today, however I can at least get a few things done.... well at least I hope so

Next stop the memory puzzle

No matter, that's a later concern

And it works now?

Somehow Irravonia once again tries to learn meditation while nothing in the script allows her to....

Take XVI

Another tiny fix?

Redummied the debug lines I no longer need

Take XV

And I think I fixed it

I think I got it

Take XIV

For some reason the skill unlocker doesn't work due to an earlier fix.... The code as it looks renders this impossible, so let's re-activate some debug lines to get to the bottom of this

Take XIII

Ability Swap

More cosmetic crap

Take XI

Getting there.... Only some fine tuning now

Windows refuses to work out properly on .NET forcing me to quit the game for some odd reason

Take XI

That should be fixed now... At leat this was an issue I could easily pinpoint

still no good, but at least no more crashes

take X

I'm just doing stuff, hoping it will work out, but at this point I don't understand it anymore

Take IX will tell

????

Take VIII

An "All Allies" bug that has been in the default AI for since this project began, but which only surfaced as the first enemies having an AA move have arrived now

Take VII

Take VI

Illegal Method call

Take V

Take IV

Map data switch

Removed links to deprecated QOpen from Kthura Text Editor

A bug in the Kthura Text editor

Values switch around

WTF??????

Take III

Arena Texture Fix

Take II

Declaration error

Take I

Up to the room where the puzzle will be the dungeon should work now.... It's technically the same recipe... Once the puzzle has been solved a boss fight against a guardian and then the epilogue part to meet the dragon.

Encounters configured

Black Dragon Cave

Vocal Herb

Silence

Dark Ghost

Black Slime

Void (although that move does nothing yet)

The power of evil

Dark Vision

Phantom Hazard

Darkness

Darkness

Another test before I can really get onto the random encounters here (if venom works will have to be tested later, this is just a map test)

Linked to Biohazard and poison cloud

Venom

Width and Height properties for fighter class extensions (gonna need them)

Explosion

You couldn't leave area 004

Due to the auto-achievement system savegames past that point will automatically award this achievement anyway in due time

White dragon achievement didn't work

And NOW it works

And let's test it again after that

Recompiling

Bug in the Kthura API for Bubble

Judging by the log and the Kthura editor something went wrong on the normally blocked area... I think the texture which was carring the Impassible flag, just like the zone that had to make hooking possible, is the "evil" here.... Since two blocks is not needed, and the texture block being obsolete, I'll remove that block so that only the zone remains, and let's see what happens

Reactivated debug line

That or a wrong operator was used

It appears that Scyndi's hook move does NOT work vertically for some reason

I must test out a few things before I add the random treasures and enemies

Area 005

Area 004

Onyx

Area 003

So far everything appears to be fine

Just a small test!

Area 002

Stuff is fine.... At least for the time being....

It's not likely I get too many collumns anyway.... The game's big but not THAT big!

Collumn length worldmap enlarged

Blockmap error

...

....

.....

SASKIA error

Let's see if this all works the way it's intended to work

Area 001

Exit

LATER!

Running

#117 -- closure overdue!

Take IX

And I forgot to set the music correctly

Chain to Area 000

Another obsolete scenario tag

At least that takes care of the "hard part"

And now Dernor and Merya DO walk away when they have to

Take VIII

I refuse to call that a fix, but at least this should get things going again

Made a new tag and linked the SASKIA script to that

The required tag has gone missing, though the debug logs indicate it's still there

And neither Dernor nor Merya will walk away, and maybe I need to make a little mapcheck for that one

Bugging tag, leftover original game

Grammar error in Dernor's opening sentence.... How did that one get past my notice in the original game's release?

MANY things are NOT right!

Take VII

I hope I voided that one now.... But ya can never be sure I guess

The question is now why spaces are added for no apparent reason making my texture reference invalid

Take VI will have to tell

Alternate boxtext loader fixed????

Take V

Ah... Found the little bugger

Let's see if we can find out why....

Apparently the spawning of Merya didn't work out well....

Take IV

Hide error

Take III

That should count as a "recover" rather than a fix I think

Put in in again

Somehow the music script link disappeared

Take II

Linked the world map

I wanted to do this TOO quickly

take I

And BANZAAAAÏ!

Fix a cup of coffeee

And that means things can be tested now.... As things are a bit more complex than they usually are, I do expect some trouble here....

Oh yeah, the actors had to be removed from memory... This to prevent any bugs when the Rondomo sequence begins, which is in the same section

I've scripted out the part where the party meets Dernor and Merya.... The script should also make them go away

Tag adaptions which were needed in the old game, but serve no purpose here, and would even only bug things up

Tag placement in order to make portraits appear properly accordingly

Damn, that was a highload of text....

As the outside of the cave was a separate map in the original game, I am condemned to loading a separate scenario file (as there's also text with the dragon), and I have no merger, and writing one will take more time and effort than it's worth, since I only need to do this once, and the merger takes more time to write, than this way around takes me....

Imported scenario for Dernor and Merya

The actors for Dernor and Merya should spawn now

For Itch.io things are not yet certain when it comes to uploads. I could not yet see if Itch.io actually supports hidden downloads only for personally picked alpha testers to see

Alpha Update

Due to the meeting with Dernor and Merya I have a few complicated things set up to deal with loading the place from the world map

Empty base script

There are a few issues with character specific skill exp gainings

AS this requires full concentration to do well, I think I'll first take a little break....

Not only that, but I also must be careful on working out the music, as that'll need to be done differently. I must also think on how to do the inspawning from the worldmap, but the latter I know an easy cheat for, which I actually also used on the village of Dreshka in The Fairy Tale (both the original game as the revamp.... a very easy way to "cheat")

This requires them to be fully functional actors, and thus I'll need to be creative in scripting

This will be a bit harder to do, as Dernor and Merya will not join the party yet, but walk away in stead (only to return later as fully playable characters)

Outside Area where Dernor and Merya will enter the game

And now to bring the game outside the madhouse, so I can start the works on the Black Dragon Cave and complete this chapter

And that should be all errors accounted for

Map referrence error

Take XII

Way back into the madhouse

I do suffer from some dominance issues... This was already a problem in the original game, and trying to fix those will only make things worse, so I won't

Achievement works
