Things do not yet seem fully right

Take VIII

Does that FINALLY cover all of them?

DA FUUUUUCK!

Take VII

In memoriam

Sean Connery

?

Fix completely ignored

Take VI

Lack of "self"

Take V

I hope

The cockroach... I think

Well?

Well, fuck it! It may not work tonight, may it! I'll get back onto this tomorrow, then

Take IV

Will this work?

Fix ignored?

Take III

Case error

Syntax error x2

Take II

Code typo

Take I

I must note it once more, though, no visual effects yet.... Everything that's done now is happening under the hood... The debug log allows me a few insights though

From here I can start the test

Area 003

Not yet entirely done, but far enough to get stuff on the roll... Well, almost

Puzzle initiator

(I could hardly believe this was still missing)

I've set up an object data link

Set up a few more preparations in order to get things right for the geo puzzles

License data

Bad file name

I did set up the basis for the mapscript in the Thief's Den

I've been in a bit of a slowdown... Sorry about that, but I just did too much and I need to remotivate myself or this will not go well

Running

From here I can get into the actual creation of the puzzles themselves, and of course, scripting them out!

THAT should do it!

Take VII

I don't like it, but here goes nothing

Better... But NOT good enough!

Take VI

A bit of map hacking

Calculation error

Things do not work the way they should... Time to take a look "under the hood"

Take V

Let's see

Take IV

I hope

Yeah right

Take III

A var name issue

Take II

And I also saw a few wrong things

I forgot a few important things

Take I

No telling if it works, but here goes nothing!

Floor script

Other stuff comes later!

That part works

Take IV

Color setting

Take III

Many required fixes

Take II

I guess I forgot something

I need to test if this works

I've set up a script that will make putting Geo Points easier

Most stuff appears to be in order.

Take I

At least I can test things until that point is reached

From here things will get complicated due to the unique puzzles of this place

Area 002

The hard work is just about to begin, though!

That works

Let's see how this works out!

Just like the original game this will be "Deadly Deadly Deadly" by Widzy

Linked to the map

Rebuilding music

Script for creating music resource adapted for the Thief's Den

Now I need to look a few things up in the old code

Basis script

Linked to worldmap

First room Thief's Den

Geo points for the Thief's den

It works

Take III

Syntax error

Take II - Will it work this time?

Something must have gone wrong (The building also went incredibly quick so I wonder)

I need to put all this to the test, so here goes!

Put on map, and unlocking Thief's Den

Checked

Texture Fix

Automatically links

Empty function for this guy

As this entry is not yet linked to any dungeon, expect a crash or otherwise unwanted behavior when you try to enter it

Thief's Den

This will be a good spot to work from ....

But he *is* there after she joined

They won't be there prior to Aziïlla joining

Please note, speaking to this guy now will crash the game, as I didn't yet script him out!

As Aziëlla is about to join the group now, perfect time to test this out

Already set to that

Who'll only appear if you are in the New Game+ and only after Aziëlla has joined the party.

Extra guy added in Gagolton

Time to serve my food.... It should be ready now and I'm starving!

Running

part of the Independent forest done

Abyss appears to be okay

And that will mean I'll get on testing The Abyss

I was originally planning get things done on Star Story first, but given my limited time and the conclusion of "Wie is de Mol?" tonight, I decided to can keep it better to testing up Dyrt further....

GJ Crash in Gagolton

Ah yeah, the no access to Game Jolt crash is present in the deserted version of Gagolton as well.... I need to fix that, as this also blocks out The Abyss, and that dungeon is by far too important

Natural break

This was also an issue with my Ryanna builder.... The issue has been found.... My scenario editor has an emergency save timer, and sometimes when I forget to close it, it saves precisely on the same moment the builder tries to include the scenario, and then... BOOM!

build failure

Take II (this is terrible)

Code typo!

But Of course, we'll have to see if that's true

I think I fixed the bug refilling the gauge too quickly in dungeons with infinite encounters

Up to the point that I gotta start on "The Thief's Den" it's nothing but testing.... And the Thief's Den cannot be unlocked until the moment Aziëlla enters the party... My plan is now to do this checking work and also get the movement of enemies in Star Story done, however I am thinking to give the Thief's Den priority over the combat engine in Star Story.... After all.. This game is more important at this time

With that I've done what I wanted to get done prior to working out the combat stuff in Start Story more.... For the time being this game is in a state that I can combine testing this with doing development work for Star Story

That all works

Take I

Well, that should link it all together, but truth is... I don't know if it works... so.....

Handle

Handle

Handle

Handle

This will be used to link to the Jukebox and to link back, the link itself has not yet been established

Jukebox launcher

Quick study to make sure ending the jukebox will NOT lead you back to the main menu

Handle leads to the Jukebox.... Now due to the license some music I've set up, I've also made the jukebox available in the main menu (to avoid composers complaining that the music was not attributed to them, as the credits only names all composers in general. Many composers want their name accredited to only those songs they contributed, and the Jukebox does just that).

And you know what's odd... Handle now just appears in the Hall of Heroes like he should

the Lost Ark is operational now

Take IV

Let's continue then

Banklink

In map backlink not operational

Take III

(I think)

Crap!

It appears I only got part of the problem

Take II

(And I found more of those)

Found the issue

Why?

And the gap in the Lost Ark still doesn't work

The logs confirm that Handle should just be in the Halls of Music (code typo is not possible due to the usage of copy-and-paste)

An I'll scan the variable list in the process, to see why Handle didn't appear, as that should NOT be possible in any way

I need to run another test

gap in Lost Ark did not allow Scyndi over, while it should

Script analysis render this possibility impossible.... So I need to find out what exactly happened there

Handle doesn't appear at all in the Hall of Heroes

He will now only appear if you actually completed the hall of music

Placed Handle in the Hall of Heroes

Handle doesn't yet appear in the Hall of Heroes... Can't do all at once, you know!

Take V

Database reference typo.... So let's deliberately put the same reference in command awarding the achievement (is needed or I also need to hack the link to GJ open)

Take IV

I'm grateful I won't need it anymore in Star Story thanks to no longer be dependent to MonoGame

Although I think I found the issue already.... SASKIA works a bit different than a regular language after all

Extra debug lines in the SASKIA script

Crash

Take III

Did I void that issue?

Why?

For some reason the maptext is not properly read

And so a test II is in order

I saw some damage came up in the dungeon's metadata, so I had to fix that first!

Don't tell me the game "Eternal Sonata" is about Chopin and not about Handel, because I already know that!

Eternal sonata

Eternal sonata

Eternal sonata

Eternal sonata

Eternal Sonata

Handel

Re-read this.... I really had to make sure things were done right here

Scenario

Updated

vUpdate

I also regenerated the monster list in order to make sure the enemies as they appear in the Hall Of Music will be viewable in the Hall of Heroes (if you found Diane Foxey)

Regenerated some important data for the True Abyss

That links it all together

Queen put in the True Abyss

Rammstein put in the True Abyss

Heaven 17 put in the True Abyss

Golden Earring put in the True Abyss

But first a little break

The next step will, of course, be to put in the representative of the Hall of Heroes

AT LAST!

Pfwew... that works

Take III (This is beyond silly)

Exit data swapped

DA FUUUUUUUUUCK!?
