Take XXXII

I think I'm gonna blow!

Take XXXI

I hope?

Take XXX

And XNA enforces another, but that is not *my* fault

Take XXIX

False start

Take XXVIII

I forgot Rebecca's starting equipment

Fixed

And I was hoping to have time to play on my PlayStation and have some dinner tonight

Take XXVII

Now?

Apparently not!

Take XXVI

Did I crush it now?

I wonder what it didn't understand about my request

Take XXV

???

Take XXIV

And I hope this fixes a big I have now

A way to get the current layer

Take XXIII

I hope that's fixed, but we'll find out soon enough... I think

But it still wants to go into a random encounter when it is NOT allowed to do so

The chaining works

Take XXII

I feel like I'm getting closer now (at least I hope so)

Definition of the leader

Take XXI

Invalid definitions in SASKIA

Take XX Let's see

the latter SHOULD also be fixed

I think I fixed the former

And trying to get the correct SASKIA label is confused with the Kthura layer

I hear Rebecca's theme start, and then the general music take it over immediately.... Why?

Take XIX

Removed the original call, and tried another

I'll sort that out later

Sometimes I feel like I'll get to "Take M" someday.... Let's hope I'm wrong!

Take XVIII

Added a few debug lines to get some clarity

Actually THIS tag is in order!

Impossible error

Take XVII

SIIIIIGH!

Take XVI

Code typo

Take XV

Second way to call things

Illegal class usage

Take XIV

And I also forgot to reset the music after Rebecca's introduction

Oh wait, it's there... I only called it the wrong way

Right... ALmost there... I only forgot the alternate music calls, which this dungeon uses, as the start music differs based on if you've been there before... or not

Take XIII

Another Math error

take XII

Math error

Take XI

How much more time do I have to do that? I wonder?

recompiling

I don't wanna talk about it, but it'll save me issues

Take X

GRRR!

Take IX

Config

Take VIII

Illegal Method Call

take VII

I forgot to save

Take VI

Aha!

WTF?

Take V (I'll count on) to see if everything's in order!

Link established

Now to really chain to the exam ruins peeps.....

FINALLY!

take IV

I think I fixed the link to the exam event

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

a few blockmap issues

The data inside Kthura gives me a different picture though

The other exit howerever gives blockmap issues, and therefore doesn't work

Irravonia going into protest when you leave the forest on the wrong end works

With these silly errors things go fast.... The woe of missing a syntax checker in your editor... oh well...

Take III

Missing "end"

Take II

Unfinished string

Sigh!

Take I

I've created some extra map stuff which will allow me to chain forward and also to block leaving the bushes the wrong way when you have not yet been in the Exam Ruins.

Real life stuff (sorry)

The WorldMap won't be available till chapter 2, so you can understand how important it is, this is done right from the start.

I've set up a quick metatable to handle the worldmap... For now all it does it (forcefully) throw errors, but that way I can at least make sure I can script the world map in already without having to deal with unknown identifier compiler errors from nil, and that saves me tons of trouble later....

Please don't go -- Triggers when you leave the west bushes on the wrong side (that is, when this is all scripted)

Something went wrong here... and I wonder why

renamed to make sure the naming is right

Some auto conversions have been done

that appears to be the case indeed

But stuff is once again not right here (that or maybe it calls of the outdated scenario editor)

I transferred the scenario to start the exam ruins

Always look on the bright side of life

The music start up for this particular dungeon has been scripted... This to prevent some unneeded music loads and hearing things you don't want to be heard yet... Rebecca is one of the few characters who has her own theme song (because it was back then hard to get things fully spoken through with the musician (and him underestimating the scope of the original project) Rebecca and Rondomo were the only two characters who actually have music themed to them... There originally were plans to have all playable characters and important key characters have their own theme song, and if this wasn't a low budget project (The budget was so can't get any lower than that) that would have happened.... C'est la vie!

Yes, Irravonia will temporarily leave the party here, but that's not really relevant, that's only one command to get her out and one more command to take her back in... It's the fact that Rebecca comes in for the first time that matters now....

I've set up some start up configuration for Rebecca who'll join the party upon entering the Exam ruins

I'll only end this session for tonight!

And I had to redo a lot on this department in the process, but I'm glad I did it now, as the longer I delayed this the more I'd have to redo, so this was a good thing....

stuff

Made sure the resistances of Eric and Irravonia are all correct!

Put status resistances visible

And now to test if the elemental resistances appear in the field menu

Which also appears to be the case!

Checking if Rebecca's theme is properly aliassed

Which appears to be the case

Checking if the Exam Ruins music is properly aliassed

In the field menu the elemental resistances are now shown

Zack

The starting room of the Exams ruins has been added

Music aliasing for Rebecca's Theme (by Widzy) and Spy vs. Spy (by Matt McFarland)

I've transferred the exam ruins textures

RIGHT!

Take XV

Let's try this...

Looking good....

Take XIV

I hope

Bad luck!

Take XIII

Let's try to play it dirty, then....

For some reason the mouse button is not accepted

Take XII

Let's find out!

Impossible!!!! What the fuckis going on here!

Take XI

Moar syntax errors

Take X

Syntax error

Take IX

This way I can (hopefully) figure this out!

Extra line must provide answers

WTF?

Take VIII

Take VII

"end" error

Take VI

Improvised scroll of achievement overview

Some real life stuff.... Yeah, that is also always an issue, eh?

Right-o... And what I need now is a way to scroll, and that ain't easy.... Scrolling itself ain't the problem.... But a good way to implement it into the UI without ruining it.... :-/

Take V

No decimals needed!

Crash due to syntax error

Take IV

Obtained achievements will now be properly noted as such

Take III

Alignment error

Fix on the description coordinates

The basic setup works, but there are some cosmetic issues....

Take II

Case Error!

Well... I guess I'll have to see if it works...

And I've set the link code

I've set up the achievement overview....

See ya!

Tomorrow it's planned to make a start to the Exam Ruins, and hopefully also the achievement overview screen in which the Field Menu flow and the achievement sub have to co-work with each other. Sounds harder than it is, though....

Time to end this session for today... I need to gain some calmness before I go to bed...

The debug data looks about right

All I can test is if these achievements are read well by the auto-achiever, however I cannot check if they work yet, as getting enough money for that will take awhile.... (duh!)

Who wants to be a millionaire?

I'm filthy stinking rich!

Welcome to Ferringinar

If I were a rich man!

Money! Money! Money! It's so funny! In a rich man's world!

She was hard for the money! So hard for the money!

Young man! There's a place you can go, I said: young man, when you're short on your dough!

Confirming the fix in the process...

Now GameJolt has a nice notification system, so I could very easily see that I got this achievement on Game Jolt now

Take XI

I think I got it.... The achievements were handled by a different VM and the pointers didn't transfer... I made them static (as the API calls weren't supposed to call them directly anyway) and that should make all values equal to all VMs....

The log is clear on it... the login was succesful and the User record was created and its pointer properly assigned... So WHAT THE HELL WENT WRONG HERE?

Take X

Can we solve this?

in other words, the pointer is assigned....

An extra debug line must now provide an answer, because as I thought what I type below was TOO OBVIOUS

The most logical explanation could only be that after checking if a user exists, the pointer was never pass to the required variable.... But that would be too obvious, I guess...

It claims there is no user set.... Which is of course odd, since there has been a user check, so what the hell is going on here?

this is still take IX.... Since there are no crashes and the stuff I need to test takes longer, this is a longer take than usual... that's all

I've set a savegame just 1 kill away from the first kill based achievement... That makes testing easier

But WHY?

It's just something between the game and Game Jolt where it goes wrong

At least the autochecker works the way it should

And that was about time!

Take IX

I hope this works things out
