Adaptions made to make it all correct in the new game

Shanda's scenario

And made some adaptions for the new game.....

Transferred the map to the Kthura engine

Everything is the way it should be

Take II (Can you believe that?)

Syntax error

Empty scenario page removed

But error or no error, I can test if I get the error I wanted to get

Of course, since the map itself does not yet exist, the link will cause an error... for now

Which links the game to the dungeon

And set up a saskia processing script

I've set up the fisherman who will take you to Shanda

Take V

Max money protection (you cannot buy what you cannot afford)

Works

Take IV

Link error

I solved it

Take III

Let's see what this line gives me

Buying does not, and that was supposed to be the easy part.... :-/

Hoverhelp works

And this we DO need a Take II (Sigh!)

Resource file corrupt

And Take I and let's hope the ONLY take!

Linked that all together

Buying function

Help generation

Hover detection

Some more work to get the shops done... at least the buying part... All I need to do is to make sure the hover detection works, the help text works, and the actual buying... The latter is the easiest part, but only possible when the former has been done.

Added the numbers showing how many you already got in stock yourself

And run the backup in the the background

Time to prepare dinner....

Well, one more test, but no trouble should be expected....

Added to shop hoer's stock

Phoenix

FINALLY!!!!!

Take XI

Bad math

Take X

Fixing that stupid action!

Done that now, anyway

I did forget to link the tab to the table I set up for that, though....

FINALLY!

Take IX

Guesss.....

Take VIII

I wonder how many more of those I'll have to endure

Interstate link error

Take VII

Destructive interstate link

Take VI

Interstate link error

Take V

Syntax Error

Take IV

Code typo

Take III

Bad marco referrence

Take II

Lack of self

Had to be rebuild as a result

I've upgraded NIL with quick modifiers... It's still pretty primitive though

I've done the work to make the stock appear

It works!

Take XII

Syntax error

Take XI

Selling items should work now

Take X

Altering the y coordinate of the sell price

Take IX

Illegal table usage

Although a new issue arises in the process....

Yeah, it's fixed

Take VIII

(I hope)

Still no good, eh?

Take VII

That has been fixed

But that could be because none of the items were marked as "sellable"

Nothing happened

Take VI

Sell price put in

That took care of the little devil!

Take V

Let's see

I think I found the issue

This cockroach also affects the normal fieldmenu screen.... Meaning we got indeed a structural issue

For some reason the inventory screen still "locks" the other tabs, and there is no reason why that can happen, but it happens, and as long as I cannot find the reason why this bug cannot be fixed....

Take IV (Or doesn't it?)

"Sell" should just use the inventory screen plus the sell prices... The latter does not yet work (the pre-config will help to make it happen, at least that's the intension), but the former should

All appears fine now!

More issues with SASKIA's jmp instruction I see

Take III

Misformed instruction in SASKIA

Take II

Let's see why SASKIA caused a crash

I've linked the shop hoer to SASKIA.... Silly me of course that wasn't going to work and I've set up SASKIA for a reason...

Did my devlogger crash?

Shop itself is alright, but in a callback only surrounding, I guess a different approach was needed, eh?

ShopHoer will link to the store routine, although it's just two empty tabs now....

Link code to quickly access a merchant's stock

Some pre-config for merchants

Site preparations

Buy and Sell buttons.... As I wanted them to be clear I made them text base, although I drew the letters manually

I'm gonna call it for today! See ya!

#94 But that is a later concern

It works! At last!

Take XXV

And I fixed that... at least this should work now!

I think the fact that I used the wrong variable as indexer is the source of all evil!

No more crashes, but the move is not registered as "learned" and not only that, Rebecca keeps trying to learn the move, over and over and over!

Take XXIV

Illegal constructor call

Take XXIII

Metatable indexing error

Take XXII

Field name incorrect

Take XXI

Now that's done, so no no more issues, I suppose

And thus the fix was ignored

Forgot to save before rebuilding the game

Take XX

That should fix a certain issue

Callback for BoxText Background....

Devlog HMTL generation lag

That does not yet mean everything's fine now, but at least I got something to continue on

The log confirms my claim below.... That's a branch of programming that never made any sense, but it happens countless times.... oddly enough

Take XIX

Sometimes modifying something and bringing it back EXACTLY the way it was "fixes" something, so let's see

Brought code back to its original (by the way not broken) form

Take XVIII

Illegal function call?

Yeah.... right!

Take XVII

What will happen if....

Take XVII (log checking)

Boxtext not loaded! That is a lie.... How do I know... Because the music and the arena could not be loaded either if the claim was true...

Take XVI

Another target issue

Runnin gin the background

Take XV

Target issue

Take XIV

Tag error

Take XIII

Case Error

Getting closer!

Take XII

Dirty code straight from Hell!

Take XI

Declaration error

take X

Abilities mastered from the start should not be checked at all, so "Start" should never have come up here!

Take IX

So some extra debug info will have to do!

I need to find out what happened here

take VIII

Wrong property name

Test Take VII

Illegal class call

Take VI

Wrong set of brackets?

Take V

Use ref error

take IV

Issue

No dirty style table definitions in NIL, Jeroen! You KNOW that!

Take III

WTF was I doing?

Take II

Var typo

And let's pray it works pretty quickly...

Take I

Set up the new ability announcement text

I do realize I forgot something, so I do need to take care of that!

I've set up a system that SHOULD teach new abilities if the requirments are met... I doubt this will go right in one go, and I expect tons of cockroaches, but we'll have to see

check the food in my kitchen

Meta table for quick finding skills for characters

preparations for learning new moves

Let's make sure all my repositories are up-to-date... and get myself a well-deserved break, as my work today may not look much, but it was more complex than it looked!

However I need to take a break now, so I'll keep that for later, likely tonight.... Since this is an important part of the game, I want to do this right... It's not likely I need tons of code for that, but the code I need to write is not really easy to formulate right... That is not a NIL issue... That is just the difficulties of coding in general!

Just as in the original game, the plan is to make nothing happen on the moment you get the required levels to learn a new ability but to replace the attack move on the moment you get the required level (or other requirements for that matter). The way I set things up now, does not really allow that approach, but I did find a way to cheat my way through....

Take V

Wrong static function name?

Take IV

extra #use

Let's check!

The no appearing messages should be fixed now, though

The sound does work, though!

No crashes but the lv up message does not appear

Take II

Forgotten declaration

Take I

New moves will NOT yet be unlocked, this comes later!

I can at least test if leveling up works in general
