Yup, the formula was busted.... New formula created

The level Brendor starts with is too high and cannot be right... I mean 86.... come on....

Link up error

Let's see....

Well that should link it all together I suppose

Link to SASKIA

Link script

Fritz' stock

Medicine

Please note, that merchant will disappear upon completion of that crypt

Merchant in front of crypt

I got a savegame beyond Jaracko now, and I don't give a fucking crap if Jeracko Spin crashes the game or not at this moment! I'll get a better moment to test it out in the storehouse!

For some reason my duplication request was ignored

Take XI

...............

Take X

Well, I did do a few things by now

I really need a break now!

Take IX

Which forces me into this frustration 100000 more times, I'm afraid!

Rounding issues

Take VIII

When I thought I had it!!!!!!!!

Take VII

I am now really furious and I need to destroy something really really valuable!!!!! Too bad I can't afford to do so!

Om het nog maar even GOED kracht bij te zetten!

Take VI

I BEN HET NU ECHT ZAT MET DIE ONZInNIGE TOESTAND!!!!

Take V

Backlinking

Fixes in Jeracko spot to make sure spot recovery will be more smoothly

Also named the layer name back as well

Middle spot Jeracko spin!

Well most issues with Jeracko spot have been resolved, however, it's clear I should NOT wait for the destructor, as that takes waaaay too long, and messes things up even more also

for some strange reason the layer rename didn't work out quite well

Take IV

SASKIA label typo

Take III

Let's see

Fix ignored, eh?

Take II

Deg illegal in Jeracko Spin (I'm afraid this will keep on haunting me.... forever!)

Project

Take I

Well technically after defeating Jeracko, Brendor's prologue should start accordingly... At least that is the idea....

Shanda will be wiped from the memory after Jeracko has been defeated

Something went wrong in my MKL updater for SASKIA script.... I don't know why or how, though

Still LOADS to do

Start up configuration Brendor

Hammer

Confired these abilities on Brandor's character sheet

Charge!

Hammer Smash!

Entrance area Mysterious Crypt

Jeracko's achievement wouldn't be awarded when it was due

I've linked this into the game, so you shoud receive it after defeating Jeracko

I forgot this in the original game, so I decided to make sure you'd get it this time....

Golden Medallion

It's late now.... I guess I have to resume this later... and perhaps I need to a few things out first, as this can otherwise take forever!

Nothing came out of that test as Jeracko refused to use his spin move

i am really really pissed now!

I want this to be over!

As I am dependent on the foe AI this can really take a long time.... :-/

Forgotten "end"

Well... there we go again!

Illegal class call

Or maybe I just want too much!

Let's do the effect differently and see how that will look

Well.... I don't trust on this, but whatever

This is not what I want, but screenshotting in XNA has NOT be properly thought through, and as such the effect that had to be created cannot be created, making XNA a bit failure

As I suspected... The grabber didn't work well, and now that I could make the XDraw routine throw a proper error this surfaces.... The question is of course, where it went wrong.... That will be hard to sort out, but let's give it a try....

Poep!

Extra error to be thrown.... Is this what's wrong?

Well.... whatever!

This will take forever... trust me

riiiiiiiiight!

Let's fuck it!

Well?

And more tests!

MORE CRAP!

GRRRR!!!!!

?????

you're harassing me!

Where were we?

Did I really need this?

And And run another test!

Let's see (I doubt anything good will come, but hey... gotta try)

And let's see how things'll go now!

Extra debug lines to pinpoint the issue

Bought that shit paper (well that's what it is, right?)

Buy toilet paper... I almost ran out!

Although I did have to fix a little linkup

Okay, I can move Jeracko a bit now

Something that simple keeps getting in my way of my primary issue....

Oh crap!

AGAAAAAAAAAAAIN! YAAAAAAAAWN!

GRRRRRR!!

Now???

GRRR!

Let's find out!

I hope?

GRRR!

Here we go again....

Field usage error

Let's see now!

Syntax errors

Take whatever

And see if I can get more answers

I forced Jeracko to a different position as this was getting very very annoying

What I can tell at least is that Jeracko Spin gets correctly initialized... So the error must happen afterward

Extra debug lines must shine a light on this now

NOTHING usefull is returned in the logs, so this is really painful!

Since we were speaking of a .NET error, I guess I need VisualStudio to investigate so I did a data sync (I HATE doing that, but I guess that's the way it is).

And now a .NET error in user code.... This ain't gonna happen today, that's for sure.... Night folks!

I'll have to sort out later why that is

Grabbing the screen properly does not appear to work well

There was a little delay

But now onto take V

(And I hope it works THIS time, as I'm getting drowsy).

Take V

And a lazy solution for screen format

Yup I voided that

Only one way to find out... Take IV

Did I void this?

Module complete with name declared a "nil" value... Now that is in no way possible... Why not... if it was, it could not even know the module name, that's why....

Take III

Another one!

Take II

Glue error

Wish me luck on this, as I really don't know if this is gonna work the way it should -- Take I

And I've linked that to the database

I've scripted the effect for Jeracko Spin

recompiling

Taken care of that

What no rotations?

Although I do think the earlier failure spooked things up there

Version stuff

But first time for a break!

While I gotta wait for my diskcheck I'll check out my grill as there's chicken in there....

This means of course that NALA has be be recompiled

The NIL link code has been written

Screen grabbing added

Lost a temporary dev folder because of that, but that no longer matters as I didn't need it anymore, but it's still spooky!

Something is wrong in my work folder

NOW satisfaction has been reached.....

Take VIII (Now all's good.... pleaaase!)

Case error

Crap!

Take VII

Let's try this...

Partially fixed, but there's still something to be done here!

And now to run another test and see if something happens now...

But first some worstenbroodjes to eat and after that to do some other stuff before I resume my work

Let's see!

So the entire loop check is being ignored, eh?

Take VI

A debug line added which must give me some answers....

Lots of fixes later the TRUE fix is being ignored.... Fantastico! (NOT!)

Take V

A little delay due to some real life stuff

Case error

Take IV

I guess I really must do this the bad way

Code typo

Take III

That would void me some trouble

Let's see if I can tackle it this way

Take II

Nope!

Let's see if that's true!

I think I fixed #97

Yup, that works the way it should

Take I (and hopefully the ONLY test)

Due to lack of time I could not test this before, so let's test this now!

Recovered the damage that caused

A messed up xtra backup

Now I have a busy day tomorrow overall, but at least I can try to see if I can already work out the "Jeracko Spin" spellani.....

I've now scripted out everything prior to the return to prison.... This won't be that easy, as I have to remove Shanda from the party, and also from the memory as she'll leave the group permanently, and I need to set up Brendor as a new character....

As far as I can test, stuff look sto be in order and the boss itself appears properly balanced... The question is if one of the Orcs goes oversoul or not, haha!

Let's see....

I've changed the position of enemies a bit... Hopefully for thebetter

That was because I never had to deal with an "All Targets" move before, and this was an actual error there.... Well that's fixed

Now this is a very strange error.... And how come it never happened before?

Should be taken care of now

Forgot to NEG

Folder naming error!

Well, then NOW everything should be in order.... I hope....

Wrong boss error

Let's see

Should be fixed now!

Arena reference issue

A few syntax errors

I've configured the boss fight setup...

Although the fight with Jeracko will not yet fully work, I can already test a few things out, and that is what I'll do....

I really must check a few things out....

I've decided to still put in confusion and to set Jeracko Spin to that....

Repositories updated

I see that suddenly Irravonia's flame element *is* counted as weakness for Goblins... I only must be sure about fatal elements, before I close that issue

That's good

Take IX (which SHOULD be the final one, in this particular case).

I also fixed a gap over which Irravonia should be able to fly, but that didn't work out the way it should
