I KNEW this wouldn't be easy!

I need a break now, but investigating this matter will now be my priority

All the boss will do is "Study" so something is NOT right here....

Take XX

Mathematical fault of a very severe kind in the stat copy routine of studying

Case error in Eric's ability list script

Take XIX

#pure error

Take XVIII

The animation does now work as it should, although a bit of fine tuning *can* be in order due to the flip, but I hope not

The think art has been flipped as this will work out better in the total animation

SIGH!

Missing local declaration (which is required in NIL)

Take XVII

Old code conflicting with the new situation

Not there, yet!

Coordniate fine tuning

Take XVI

alpha addition check fault

coordinate fine-tuning

Referrence issue

Take XV

Thanks to the previous fix I could see it was a case error

Take XIV

Running compile scripe

Nala must be rebuild

My Blue Screen of Death was not set up well for alternate alpha setups..... This has been properly set up now.... Downside is.....

Okay, now this is beyond strange.... All I see is a black screen

Take XIII

Some markers which should make it easier to trace errors, as things are not clear due to Lua's Directory shortening method, which is in this case catastrophical

Index error

Take XII

Build failure

Take XI

Leftover code from old time causing conflicts now!

Take XI

Not that I expected that at this point, but okay....

I must rerun my nala compile script though

More precise hotspotting

Take X

This should mean that the AI is at least able to set the "Study" well... But let's not cry victory too soon!

Missing "end"

Take IX

Time to resume the work!

I ate my dinner

Cancel the boss when about to study can crash the AI in the next turn

Take VIII

Okay....

Take VII

Missing parameter error

Jeroen! Je bent een eikel!

Take VI

Now I can resumt the action until the oven is ready

Got it!

Okay, that's done... I do need a little snack in the meantime, though

Before I get on to take VI... I'm getting hungry, so I'm gonna put some food in the oven....

Lack of "self"

Take V

Conflicts

Take IV

Keyword case error

Take III

Study Target error

Take II

Missing initiation in AI

Take I (out of MMMMMMMMMM, I think?)

And now the moment suprème has come.... The time this can be put to the test.....

Wish me luck!

Post boss

Boss start up

Music file

Linking them now to their Game Jolt counter parts!

More Bitter Tears!

No mercy for the soldiers! No mercy for the king!

Well, that ends the basis, but I'm not there yet.... After all, the script that starts this battle has not yet been written, so that will be the next step

Study

Study

Think icon for the Study ability spellani

It's all not over yet, but I think most of the important trouble has been taken care of..... I will now need a break first.

And those are assigned to be learned by Aziella.... Required levels differ per difficulty setting

Shield

Protect

Hyper

Double Bolt

Blunt

Now due to the way the current timer has been setup, and the many slowdowns I am experiencing in the game, I won't add this to Aziella's spell list yet... This to prevent trouble.... One spell is not worth that much trouble this specific spell can give.

Accelerator

Lunch.... Yeah I was a bit late... I know

Taken a shower

Eric can learn this ability.... requirements vary based on the chosen difficulty setting

Bacteria sword

Not there yet, though.... FAR from it!

Extra feature that was not present in the original game is that the boss will copy the target's statistics when studying them. The copied stat will after that be multiplied based on the player's chosen difficulty setting!

Study abilities

Set up a link for AI access from abilities

Apparently yes

The lied down again where she did cause trouble before... Is everything fine now?

I've scripted the basis of Blenchy's AI.... Of course it needs to be noted that a lot of stuff this AI needs for extra is not yet present... It's just the AI itself....

The rest of the story I won't repeat... Got lost because the cat lied down on some cables crashing this devlog.... Geez... why are computers too delicate to handle homes were cats live?

Today I'd like to focus on the boss

This should fix #191

Merya not tagged when her sealed boss is defeated

That worked

Pre-boss script

random encounters are in order!

#191

Well, let's throw everything to da test!

Won't stay forever that way though, and that boss will have a pretty complicated AI

Technically the game is playable now to the final boss, although the boss before that is skipped....

Random encounters set for the final dungeon

Take IV

All is cool!

So I'll be back later!

It's 6 o'clock and time for the news!

Bad ability reference

I do not know if this speeds up the flow during the IDLE mode, but I hope it does, as this speed was ridiculous

Sped up buff checks in combat....

Take III

Ah, so that is why!

Slime king picture doesn't exist? I don't think so!

Take II

Sealed boss definition error

Some real-life business came in my way

Take I

Okay, time to resume the patrol

And some "real life" business I must take care of now!

H.R.M. King Slime

Ultracrush

Red seal in the keep tagged as such

Art Slime King

All ins and outs of buffing and debuffing

#130

And that concludes all crap for #130

IT WORKS!

Take II

Syntax error

Let's see!

All I can check is if the game doesn't crash on this, and how the logs behave.... That SHOULD suffice.... During the first grand game test we'll find out if that is actually true or not.... :-/

Savepoint buff reset

#130

All clear!

Syntax error in project file

Take THREE!

Alias error!

Take TWO!

Syntax error

And then, I'm ready for kick-off..... Take ONE!

A few mintor things

This too is a bit feeling in the dark when testing.... But I guess I still gotta give it a shot!

And Eric can now dispell too

Scyndi, Aziëlla and Irravonia updated respectively to learn these abilities

Sanctuary

Skill experience fault in Dispell Magic

Switched Data

Vanish

Irravonia's version of Yggdrassil

Dispell Magic

Laterz

Running

I really must call it a day now....

Don't announce all nul-buffs

Shot IV

Trivial fix, yet needed to prevent another crash

Get me through this

Shot III

Wrong identifier

Shot II

"nil" value error

Shot I

Testing this is hard, but I'll give it a shot! (if not more) :(

Permanence

Using the spell now will crash the game!

Permanence

Minor permanence issue

Everything is cool now!

Take II

I hope I fixed thatissue this way

but slows down the game

The basic principal works

Take I

While walking in the field Buffs and Debuffs you got in battle should fade away... The speed of this, is (of course) dependent on your chosen difficulty setting

And that'll be all fo rnow... I'm tired!

Invalid data for "War Shout!"

Let's see

Target info in auto help... Something I should have done before!

That works as it should work!

Let's see if that works!

Autohelp adapted to this

License and version info (that will be a lot this time, as tons of files were modified in the process)

#130

All issues appear to be accounted for

Take XII

Code Typo

Take XI

Missing property

Take X

Sub-class error

Take IX

I wasn't planning to do this, but this is all I can do to prevent a bigger issue on the way

Permanence voids as soon as a character is on the back-row
