And I succesfully voided Microsoft's failure to create .exe files when it should! FUCK YOU MICROSCHOFT! (No I didn't mispell it! 'schoft' is a Dutch word, that explains EXACTLY what Microsoft is).

Okay, it works again now... I think

Appears effective as I now finally get errors that Make SENSE!

I've done some things to force things up

the most ludicrous error ever produced by Microsoft.... (because it DOES link to that crap)

" Your project does not reference ".NETFramework,Version=v4.8" framework. Add a reference to ".NETFramework,V ersion=v4.8" in the "TargetFrameworks" property of your project file and then re-run NuGet restore."

For some odd reason Visual Studio refuses to turn the generator into an .exe file

MICROSOFT!!!!!

Nope.... Doesn't work

And now to test things out!

Well, they are put in

Okay. Bob needed a few changes to enforce a few things

I wonder

Test unsuccesful, but at least I got some way to go.... I think

Now to see if that was fruitful

I had to drasticly act as bob really managed to mess things up, this time

I hope... Although I'm not sure

Clearly the bob script doesn't work the way it has to

And let's now see what data Bob produced when the generator is run

Another miniback-up

Redone area 002

Let's GO!

In order to make sure I've no data loss this time, a mini backup first!

Still leaves it beyond me why this didn't work in the first place

Now I've undummied the save routine

the data outputted now on screen appear to match what it should be

And now a quick test!

Let's first run Bob to make sure my map is up to date here!

I order to do this, I've first deactivated the save routine, as stuff already goes wrong before saving.... Having the original undamaged until I know everything happening before that is vital

I really gotta sort out why the discofloor generator is acting up on me, when it comes to the layers, as nothing should make that possible... Why I am so sure? Because I only used Kthura core features, and none of them could be bugged like this or the editor AND the game would NEVER work AT ALL

Now I can live with that one, as it won't be hard to recreate that (not gonna do that today, so this day is lost in that perspective), but I am a bit mad, and the fun part is... Nothing could cause this to happen, or Kthura wouldn't have worked in general.... So WTF happened here?

For some reason the DiscoFloor generator destroyed my second floor map....

Disco tiles

Added a new floor to the hall of music

Running

The first tag generation was succesful

I've set up a quicktag tool for the discofloors... Tagging them all manually would just be undoable

A few things done here

And I am out of time for now.... We'll see later what is about to happen next

AT LAST!

Take II

Washed the lie out of the mouth with soap

LIAR!

I've added a (for now) basis SASKIA script... It will likely only be used to activate the boss fight, but hey, what's needed is needed, eh?

Ah yeah.... Still a SASKIA script required, I suppose

And stuff SHOULD be working now...

Meta settings

And "Disco4" by Kevin McLeod will be used for this dungeon

Tag Issue

(Well at least, it should)

NOT there yet! I think the game will still crash when you enter the place

Hall of Music linked to the world map

A small start though with the Hall of Music

Time is short today, so I cannot do much

This took my valuable time for my other things I had to do today.... SHEESH!

AT LAST!

Well?

Aha! That explains!

WHAT THE FUCK!

Well, let's see what'll happen now

Added it again!

For some reason it even disappeared from my database too

But the dungeon does NOT appear on the world map

The dog does indeed only reveal the Hall of Music to Scyndi

Let's see if it does!

That oughta do

Nope, I do NOT want that to happen again!

#257 - I wanna make sure this goes well this time, as it didn't in the original version of the game, and it was thanks to DarkBloodBane that I found out!

The dog should not appear in the normal game, only in the New Game+

Dog placed

Trying to visit it will likely crash the game

Hall of Music

Sprite of the dog opening the Hall of Music

I did

Take II

I think I fixed it!

Yes, as expected the game crashes on the Game Jolt malfunctioning

Let's go, then!

Unfortunately, the Game Jolt API still malfunctions on me, but this way I can also test if the game doesn't crash when reaching the entrance to the facility which I hid in here.

For now my focus will lie on the mad house sidequest, and making sure all prerparations are met for the Hall of Music

Well, let's resume the test!

Dominance issue

I really need a new audio cable, that much is clear!

Well! Let's see how things are now, then, eh?

Done!

That should fix the dominance issues the map has

Generating new dominance table for the Grass Plains... This already bothered me for awhile

A small backup before the next operation (this can easily go wrong, although I don't expect it to).

Death Cap issue

Crash Death cap enemy not found? Yeah, right!

I'm gonna test on up to Azquakunda prison.... After that I'll hop over to Star Story -- The next setup will be to get the music dungeon done, which is a New Game+ only dungeon indeed....

#256

#256 is indeed fixed

But I gotta test that out!

I think I fixed #256

I will address this on the first session here....

Issued as #256

This is a later concernt, but it must be fixed asap

Jennifer will already activate the Dark Storage before that event should happen!

Let's resume the test, shall we?

Some real-life stuff forced me to stop my test halfway

Today I am, as far as Dyrt is concerned planning to test the Black Dragon Cave, and the Naked Rocks...

After that my attention will (unfortunately) go back to Star Story as the ZoneAction routines will then have to be taken care off. Since I'm most of all planning to just copy and adept the same routines I used for Dyrt, this should not be a serious thing, but hey, I've seen crazier things gone wrong, already....

Well, the Dijkstra cockroach appears to be squashed

Sorry, wrong devlog!

I've done a blockmap check

Running

For now this means I'll close #210 - However later tests can still get in my disfavor...

As far as I can see now the issue appears fixed

Take II (I was not hoping to go for his, but I guess I must!)

Code typo

Let's see!

If still no good, I'll get into this later!

I think I fixed the issue for real this time, however I cannot be 100% sure, so a test is in order

And more work, next time!

Running!

#210 is NOT fixed.... Further inspection here comes later.... The clock is not on my side now....

So Another test then!

As far as I could check the code, the puzzle counting as solved was NOT bugged and that could only lead to all the more confusion of people wrongly picked flask #5

And there I fixed it as well, well I think

Now the same bug was also there at the revelation

At least I can make sure my measure doesn't crash the game, hahaha!

I think I fixed #210, however as it's flask #5 now that is poisonous I cannot properly test this so future tests that take place when I get into the easy and the hard mode are hopefully more succesful

I wonder

May it be possible that 2 flasks were not poisonous in my last test or that I still missed one memo?

Yup! That's bug #210 - This SHOULD be an easy fix, but I've seen crazier things by now

#254

#255

Now I do remember a bug to be present in the poison puzzle of the Green Dragon's lair, so I need to investigate that

As far as I can check, everything is in order as far as the White Dragon's Lair is concerned

I'll get into testing the two Dragon Caves in the hidden forest now

Stuff done here... The next stuff is too complicated to get on at this time, but I didn't yet get into testing here, so I guess that's what I'll do ;)

And that will end my work for today.... The system maintenance here is not yet complete, so it's the better way to go anyway, perhaps, based on how things go I may work on Star Story tonight or test a few more dungeons, but everything is really uncertain now!

Everything appears to be working now

Take V

Illegal class member usage

Take IV

Moar fixes

Take III

Coffee

Wrong class

I need to take a break, though, but while I'm taking a break, I'll make bob (my build program) run, so I can start immediately when I get back

I think I fixed that

Neither arrow appears

And now that my computer lags due to the backup + defrag this can take a loooooooong time!

Take II

Minor fix

Take I

We do, of course, never know if this works until it's been tested, so here goes

The scrolling itself should now work

Hover effect

the Scroll arrows should appear but only if scrolling is applicable

I guess having a backup tool and a defragmenter running at the same time is a bit of a bad idea... My computer now lags like crazy

That works

I've moved the listed enemies a bit.... Seems pointless now, but this creates room to put the scroll arrows in

But the feature itsel worked

Builder was sure taking its sweet time

A little test is in order

Leaving the monster encyclopedia should be possible now!

And I'm working in the wrond devlog again, I see.... The sooner Dyrt is closed the better I suppse

For good reasons!

So I had to do this with my Go app, and I hate that!

This is Microsoft for ya

Looking for a good directory creation routine - Failure C: The follow up-method though is not compatible with my C++ version, which is with the old deemed deprecated even stranger

Looking for a good directory creation routine - Failure B: Second one is official, but deemed "deprecated"

Looking for a good directory creation routine - Failure A: One method is Windows only, and does therefore not fit in my Cross-Platform approach of matters!

SaveGame Manager link up code

Like In all RPG games I created before (well, the most of them at least, as my very first will likely be different), the savegame routine will be using JCR6 to bundle all data, but still keep it seperate.

Here I'm going to create the save game routine, now it should be noted that I'll work out the save game routine in several portions....

First of all, to make sure the Nizozemska version of the savegame routine remains 100% compatible with the regular way, and also to make sure all everything can work on its own.

In order to make this all possible, I will need to write hugh poritons of C++ code, however that should not be too much of an issue... I think.... ;)

#254

As Star Story is in a similar state now, and there it's the save game routine, the most important thing in the game, I may focus on that first, but I shall write proper to do tickets in order not to forget the last two things to implement in this encyclopedia

the hard work is don enow

So far stuff works

Is it final now?

One cosmetic fix

Take I don't know!

I think I got it, and I hope this won't cause too much trouble... Lua can be an awful beast sometimes

And let's see now!

Since the system didn't give a line number (afraid I might detect a lie?) I dummied the most plausible line to have caused it (although none of the lines could have caused it, since it happens, somehow there must be something wrong)

Nonsensical error

Final test... I hope!

Perhaps THIS will get things done

The logs show the items are being added, but why don't they show?

And another test!

Debug lines have been added for this purpose!

And now to find out why no items or money show

Coordinate issue

At least no crashes, but what I see now is garbage

And another test

Illegal function call

Although I must admit I've been blundering this entire day. If I was more accurate today this would have been finished and I would have the whole day for Star Story tomorrow....

It's getting late

And another go then!

Fixed that

Unknown term

Let's go... Again!

Money drops were not properly taken care of

A few adaptions are still needed though!

And lastly the lists what items drop and what Merya can steal....

Sigh!

Scopeless "end"
