Player sprite would appear in start up, when it shouldn't.....

Let's check if the "void" I did pays off, though

Well I have some system lags now, so perhaps that influences things....
I know what causes them though, but that's not something I can "fix" in the next few hours... Once the backup is done this will clear up....

I need to sort out why Kthura randomly crashes upon loading maps sometimes... That is, the editor... Not the library used in the game....

At least the map appears to be in order

Eric will gain Sword experience (and a lot at that) when performing "Coup de Grace", and also some extra AP

Using Penta Power Strike may trigger "Strike Streak", and then Rebecca will perform the same move again, without taking extra AP, but with the full power and skill experience the move provides.

That comes later!

Updated

I hope I can void this issue by grouping things together

GRRR!

Let's see....

Hopefully I voided the issue on chaining to the *****ing Xenor Bushes North ... as far as I can tell, the Mysterious Crypt already got my frustration over this giving me the brilliant idea to come up with the GoToLayer function

I can confirm that "Strike Streak" works the way it should

Take II

Case error

Finish him! Fatality

Take I

(Not to mention this may be the first, but not the last grand test before the game will be released at last).....

Testing this will be very hard, but there is a whole game before me to test, so eventually any bugs that might live in Rebecca's will, should certainly come out during this grand test....

Serial Sis!

Rebecca's Strike Streak Will has been scripted

Exam ruins began directly in the boss room.... That was not right!

Does it work now?

Shit happens I suppose

Typo in database

Magic Missle

This is for Irravonia's initial wand

Magic Missle

I made #70 link to all other issues related to it

Half-fix.... so still trouble

Linking syntax error

Crash if Irravonia was to gain a skill level in the kid prologue

And I fixed the fact that "Yo mama!" was never awarded!

I hope I fixed that now!

Apparently not!

I do think I fixed that crash, though

But I must take a break, and I'm getting hungry, so time to put my meal into the oven

That should not be a hard fix, though

However when the game has to give walking control over the player when Eric and Irravonia are on the way to the Exam Ruins, the game crashes

Up to the point where Irravonia meets the Big Mama Slime everything appears to be working

Well, let's roll it again!

Achievement for starting a game was not awarded

#204

Achievement Crystal Clear awarded when that shouldn't happen

Take VI

_ in stead of __

Take V

Let's try this

Take IV

And I fixed this

Oh wait... I'm forgetting something

For some reason, the game claims that the Xenor Bushes has no travel level set.... Fact is... that is a lie... I checked and the level HAS BEEN set....

Okay, that issue appears fixed

Take III

Let's see what will happen this way

Apparently not!

...

I hope I fixed #203

Apparently not! #203

And well.... Let's see if I can start a new game...

I've archived my old savegames... I likely don't need them any more

---

If you have the alpha version, all abilities will look like they where never unlocked, but if you fulfill the requirements (and those remained the same) they will one by one come back... A bit annoying maybe, but harmless on the longer run....

The way the abilities mastered array worked was completely bogus, so I fixed that... Not that you will notice anything, as the end result worked, but this way was not entirely safe, and the new way should be... And for those who know how to hack savegames this will also look better

And this means the basis game is now done.... I'll soon be starting the giant test to test out the entire game from start to finish... This means the "NORMAL" game and not yet the "NEW GAME+".

I will do this too in the CASUAL mode.... why not the easy to the hard more, you wonder? They will be tested later, but this test is also to find out if the game is entirely properly balanced, and that would not be doable in the other difficulty settings as the casual mode is how the game is SUPPOSED to be experienced... The hard mode and the easy more are merely a simplification or a boost in being hard based on the casual game....

I've forced in the achievement for beating the final boss... The chance the auto reward system triggers too late, is too big, and I need to be sure that achievement is awarded

Take I

Well, the next thing to do is obvious, I think.... Test everything out!

All achievements have been properly linked

Some real-life business came in my way

BOW to the MASTER!!

Mission accomplished!

I did great, didn't I?

Linked both achievements to Game Jolt

The Ruins Of Dyrt

The final boss

Instant boss fight

(In other words, the pre-boss scenario + round #1 came back)

Updated

Updated

(Announcement is a too big word, but I used it by lack of a better word).

Personal Will Announcement Eric

Music issue between the two rounds

There are still a few small cosmetic issues to be taken care off, but in the big picture... This looks alright

Not entirely happy, but this will have to do

For that I need to make a test run, but this time without cheating (as I did so far, as testing the finishing would be undoable otherwise) and really as I would do if I were a player

Now this sets the basis of the boss out right.... The trick is now to see if this boss is properly balanced... Especially for the final boss fight, this is very important!

A bit of expansion

Malification

AT LAST!

Everything works now.....

Take XX

Bug in the spell effect of Coup de Grace

Yup! That sleep really did me well.....

Take XIX

I've slept and hopefully I'll be able to squash that cockroach now!

I'll go to bed now.... THIS is gonna cost me my sleep if I try to solve this today

Take XVIII

CODE TYPO

Take XVII

????

Take XVI

Let's FORCE a few things

why doesn't it load Rebecca's will?

Take XV

Extra debug line must confirm this

Rebecca's will non-existent... Or so the system says.... That's bullshit, as it is just present... I wonder what makes it say that...

Take XIV

An extra line must provide some answers

It gets stranger and stranger

Take XIII

Gauge reset prevented Coup de Grace

Take XII

"Day of Judgment" too slow

Yeah, we're drawing near th conclusion now!

Next Act definition error on Coup de Grace

Take XI

Little fix in log

Coup de Grace effect could turn enemies invincible, in stead of killing them instantly

Stat boost final boss

Wrong numbering HP check: Coup de Grace

Take X

...

Take IX

Wrong tag for checking after attack

The cancel cockroach died at last!

Take IX

I need some more data on things, as this does not really look too good

Cockroach

Take VIII

A bit of a stat workout.... The boss was really too weak

Stat debug

Some stats were being a bit awkward... Probably because the Foe compiler ignores unset stats

Silly syntax error

Take VII

Will be better as far as this particular fight is concerned

A little arena change....

GRRR!

Take VI

I must (of course) not forget to deactivate that jump

I've set a quick jump... The fight will now start immediately... Makes testing quicker

AI error

Take V

Well ready to resume the true business now... I think

I did this as Eric could learn new moves and that blocked my testing possibilities, but this crash and map fault complicated things even more...

The missing Orc Rogue lead to a crash, preventing me to deal with the final boss

Parts of the dungeon suffered from visibility issues

I forgot about that one, and the game could crash on it, so....

Orc Rogue

Take VI

Syntax error

Take V

That voids another NIL issue

All templates now have a unique name to prevent NIL from complaining about silly things

Take IV

NIL syntax issue

Take III

Oh well.....

Take II

Code typo

Alias works

Wish me luck...

Take I

Strictly speaking everything should be ready for testing now... I *DO* expect trouble....

Boss start up configuration

If this all works, then scripting Rebecca's "strike streak" should be easy, although this can still be a bit bothersome!

Coup De Grace effect

Coup De Grace

Set up done for Eric's "Coup de Grace"

Alias will

Linked it to the general attack

Final Boss Round #2!

Well, a lot of stuff is in order now.... but a few more vital things do have to be taken care of....

Start up statistics for the final boss round #2!

Round #2!

Day of Judgment

Ultra Charge

But, I'm gonna take a break first!

Next stop.... Round #2!

Take XIV

A few minor things

Take XIII

Build Error

Take XII

I think I tackled this issue

Take XI

Let's get into the deep of this with some extra debug lines

This cannot be happening unless no targets are set....

And let's start take X

Let's rebuild that then.... :-/

Why did my "SwapKill" tool disappear?

Take X

More lack of "self"

Take IX

Class call fault

Take VIII

Syntax error
