Well okay, I'll run a backup

And there I'm gonna end today's session

Target Error

Yes, folks, most of the issues a coder has to deal with are these trivial things....

Take III

Done it now, so that issue's out of the way

I forgot to NEG

Will it hold out now?

Put in again

Arena setting gone

(I often forget that thing).

And NOW the test can start....

Random Treasures

Hold the show... I forgot something

Time to put things to the test

Combat settings

Raven

Dernor can learn this move, but there are some extra requirements, as this move is pretty strong

Raven's Peck

Ghoul

A few more fixees

Devlog Config fixes

Hades Strike

Art Ghoul

Art Raven

White Slime

Stach Update

I do need a break now, though, so I'll get back to this later

Well the meta data of the temple has been set now anyway, though

Of course, I did forget we also need encounters in Malabia's cave, so perhaps it's prudent to focus on that first....

Basis script set up which will allow the scripting of the Gordo and also other scenario stuff here, as this will be a very important hub later in the game.

This is gonna take some time

And running

Script adepted

Just like in the original game "Angevin" by Kevin McLeod will be the background music

Entrance area Malabia's Temple

Another chapter

#1

Malabia's Cave complete

Database error

Script linked

Unlock the temple

At least I could link something to the worldmap now

Empty map for the temple... I'll do the map later

Malabia's Temple

Blockmap issues due to "rotten objects"

Area 009

And the linked Game Jolt trophy also kicks in

And so does the achievement, or at least in-game

The room 008 puzzle works

Take V

Tag issue

Take IV

Another

Take III

Illegal Static Function Call

Take II

Corrupted file

Take I

Now THIS is gonna require me to do some testing!

Button links

Area 008

Let's see if this works properly

Area 007

Take IV

Dominance issue

Take III

Code Typo

Take II

Link 004 => 005 was not working

Let's see

A bit of extra scripting was required here to make the "level-effect" possible

Area 005

Area 004

Correction due to a cap bug on the latter "J" in XNA

Area 003

Area 003

And everything is now cooooool!

take XVII (all should work now... at least in room 002)

Barrier did not open

All bugs in the linked button script accounted for... Only one more thing, left for me to do!

Take XVI

Illegal method call

XV

Illegal function call

Take XIV

Did I fix this, yes or no?

I think I found out what I can do about this, but let's see

Take XIII

SOme shit beyond any right person's understanding

I realized that can NEVER work

HOLD THE SHOW!

Take XII

I think I need to use some brute force... especially since the better method failed already it no longer matters

Take XI

I think I found a fix for that, or at least a way to crash out when it still happens

It's clear that some buttons have many dupe definitions, leading to one definition neutralizing the other

Take X

At least that issue's been fixed... Next issue

Multiple ZA_Enter causes some issues, eh?

And some extra debug to provide some anwers, as this is getting beyond me

Tiny fix

still no good

Take IX

so I'll go for the manual approach....

the auto-approach doesn't appear to work well

Resuming Take VIII (which I was still running)

Distrubed by another important phone call

Take VIII

Main table not updated

Take VII

Timeout declaration error

Take VI

Backlink not established

Take V

And an debug timeout enforcer has been put in place also

I hope I tackled that

Apparently an infinite loop is taking place

Take IV

Hopefully

New Setup

False setup

Take III

Code Typo

Illegal function calls

Take II

I HATE case sensitivity..... (It's for a reason I'm experimenting with my own engine (and if unsuccesful I'm gonna make an improved version of Scyndi in order to replace NIL)

Case Error

Take I

It's for a reason I'll save the encounters for this dungeon for the very last moment

And now it's time to get the test running... Which me luck as this ain't gonna be easy....

Area 002

Answered a long but important phone call

Achievement linking to mapscript and game jolt

Sanity is not required for the job! You're not mad enough to be rejected!

I've set up system which will check the button puzzles.... No idea if it works though

#149

It works

#149

Although before I close that issue, I first wanna do a quick test.

Not only that, but the permanencer on the bridge works too....

The bridge works

Take IV

Bridge didn't appear (although the game did not crash)

Take III

Another

Take II

State error

Gotta test it, though

And the crash is "fixed" in the process....

The bridge should now appear

Door room 001 didn't open

Way back didn't work

Target on the right will for now crash the game, as I didn't yet write the mapscript for that

Area 001

The current events will not get me to remove Eric's super file spell "Corona", though

Oh yeah.... achievement 180 worls

Defragmentation of my portable devices was way too long ago, so let's do that.... This will mostly likely take very extremely long (those are MAGNETIC devices, so I still have to do this).

For now this will do.... On Sundays I'm always short on time

Alright

Let's see

Not quite, but I got on the right trail... Now it must be fixed for real! (I hope)

Another take must confirm that

I think I fixed that

for some reason leaving and re-entering crashes the game....

The bolt appears to work, BUT.....

And about time too

vUpdate

Shootings will be terminated immediately if something disappears while the bolt still flies

still slower, but already a bit quicker than it was... This WILL have to do for now, I'm afraid

Let's see

This is not entirely safe.... No objects may be removed as long as the bolt is running, and if that still has to happen, a new table must be created... I hope this will work out, though

I've done a little bit of experimenting to see about #151

Setting up that mapscript is NOT for today, though

Right... Stuff works now....At least the crash I now got is the crash for the non-existent mapscript method, and that crash could only occur when all other bugs are fixed....

Final take I hope!

Take XIX

Syntax error

Take XVIII

#151

reminder #150

(And I'm hope I'm there now, as this is taking its toll on me now)

Take XVII

Tex reference incorrect

Take XVI

Loop kill crash

Take XV

Misformed function call

Take XIV

I need to know more now

The outcome is astounding

Take XIII

Still no good on the targets though, so this debug line must get me some answers

Take XII

closing in

Take XI

Kthura issue?

Right, that appears to be working... Well for a part

Take X
