Go back to bed

Split

Linked it to the map

Eric start config

I've (ab)used the worldmap database in order to make the choice between Eric or Rebecca's scenario

Fruuskbrando -- That is the first of the two missions for Eric after all

When you can pick what you want to do first... Eric's or Rebecca's mission I've set Rebecca's theme by Widzy as background music

Placed a "Start_Split" exit in order to start Eric's part first

TRUTH!

I'll skip the last part for now, as from here the party will split in two for awhile, and that will need extra coding, and it's late!

Made all ways back possible

The game is doing things that should NOT be possible in any kind of scenario, and yet, they happen

What has been said is for you alone

Take II

Several cosmetic bugs

Oracle

Oracle

Sprite Oracle

Crack can be passed now

Automated dominance correction

Now the places will only show when the time is right

Take II

Syntax Error

Let's see!

I've blocked both exits in the "night" scene... This because it's only there for show.... There had to be an exit somewhere

Exit tag typo

It is NOT a bug that Eric walks VERY far when encountering Merya's room.... Her sexual attitude scares him, and thus going as far away as possible

Eric's refusal to enter other people's rooms

I may some other time try to figure out why the scenario editor acts so oddly after moving stuff....

And that will have to do, I suppose

Missing portrait

Wrong scenario text (as left over from old game)

OP HOOP VAN ZEGEN!

For now I did some stuff manually, but why it worked before on much more complex text, and now not on simple text is COMPLETELY beyond me.... (not a single line of code was altered, so....)

I am also forced to redo the transfer

This may take time though

Before I continue I'll be running a mini-backup, to ensure that if this damage happens again, I can recover it more quickly

How the damage could be is beyond me, though

And some damage caused fixed

All data recovered

I really hope I can recover stuff.... Good thing I ran the backup tool this morning

Scenario file damage

Let's see if it works

Link script

Auto-corrections

A few data settings put out right

Scenario transfer

Temp script copied, as I need it later!

Link to Rayal castle by night

A side project of mine has seen some work today.... As NIL is far from ideal, I am experimenting with my own scripting engine....

Nor is the link script to this map and the required SASKIA script etc. etc. etc....

Night Map prepared for the meeting with the Oracle.... Although the Oracle herself is not yet there

Some blockmap issues

Mistagging

King Herondo first time

King Herondo first time

Again!

Code typo (sigh)

False Katha display

False party pop

Lack of space issue entrance guards

Guard Wessel

King placed.... Speaking to him will crash the game for now, though!

Scenario

Art Katha

Art King Herondo

Hmmmm..... Not that it matters, but it's not cool.... :-/

Let's see if that works!

Tagged that guards

Guards at the entrance

All is fine concering Scharum.... for now

Test Scharum Take VIII

I do need to test though, if the others get their moves, and only if Scharum is defeated.... Let's do a quick check

At least I can be sure Eric appears to learn his Scharum ability....

Scharum Take VIII

Eric ability error

Chapter announcement

Scharum Take VII

Reference error

Scharum Take VI

Scharum fights linked to combat engine in order to unlock the moves Scharum can teach you!

Scharum Take V

Alias error

Scharum Take IV

Did I get around that?

crashing for the sake of crashing....

Scharum Take III

Missing SASKIA Label

Scharum Take II

Code Typo

Scharum

Scharum

Scharum

Scharum

Scharum can be fought.... *IF* I actually linked him to the map and *IF* his combat data was actually set.....

Alias for Scharum

Scharum is also in place, but trying to talk to him now will crash the game

A few guards put in

Although the data has been written succesfully by it, oddly enough

It appears that the SQL dump of TBBS was too much for Geany to handle, so it froze

Cool!

Secret Zoning Error

Player Dominance auto-correct

Cool!

Take V

Issues with the garden

Listed the secret Passage

The base code works... Now I need to get it to work with the Kthura Objects of which a few coordinates must be changed to get this to work completely

Take IV

MOAR

Take III

ZA_Action illegal function calls

Take II

Recompiling

Bad fuction definition in Kthura link script

Another (and last one, I hope)

C# Syntax errors

Link error

Let's throw this to da test

#145

And scripted when to appear disappear

Zones marked that should only be seen when asked for

A few edit conflicts may have taken place here, so I need to sort this out..... As it has affected the palace map

Linkup code to make sure all maps have access to this

It WILL (of course) be needed to recompile NALA as a result

Link code in NIL... Due to the delicacy I'll limit myself to the base function.... It won't be needed anyway to get this any more attention that that, as this should not be used too often in good Kthura design... Or well, maybe not

I've added a function which shows only stuff within a zone, or only stuff outside of it.... This is delecate, I tell ya

For the next session I fear I need to add a few more nasty things to the Kthura handler

Let's go!

So We can start testing this....

And it looks good to me

But we're there now

This is always a slow process when using a map converted from TeddyBear (this map is rather big for a TeddyBear map that's only a hub), but now it took even longer.... :-/

In TeddyBear it didn't matter, but in Kthura you can save loads of memory on the Blockmap by staying as close to the origin as possible. In order to make that easier I created a special feature to help you on this, and I used this....

AT LAST!

This very devlog is also slower as a result

Kthura is taking forever to load..... Maybe because the back-up tool is acting up here

All that is there now is a savespot... None of the NPCs are there yet, and areas do also not yet hide and show respectively

I've linked the SASKIA script through to the point that you are in Rayal Palace.

Which I also need to bug fix on a few important things

In the mean time my backup utility is running

For some reason the scenario transfer feature has disappeared.... I guess I need to recheck that source code someday.... Anyway, for the short term, the text has been transferred manually, and that was in this case the shortest way to go

Unfortunately this requires me to rebuild the Music Resource and that is time-consuming :(

A little bit of an error in the Music Resource

I need to note that Rayal Palace will get me quite some work... This is also where Scharum resides who can teach you some interesting moves, providing you can defeat him in combat.

Up to the transfer to Rayal Palace stuff works

Take IV

Definition error

Take III

Welcome

Rayal Palace

Scenario arrival Aeria

No SASKIA

Take II

Scope error in mapscript

A test is possible, although the game WILL crash!

I've written the link script to end up on the beach in Aeria

And "Chamber of Jewels" by Eric Matyas will play here

I've created a special worldmap to travel between Cat-Island, Aeria and Delisto

And with that I'm gonna repack the music resource

Lastly Castle will be used for Rayal Palace

"Music/Original/Frozen Star.wav" will be used for Rayal Palace by night

"Divertimento K131" will just like in the original game, be used for rayal city

Area Beach confirned to the ocean waves (as far as you can speak of "music" here, but the music routine was used for this, so....)

Beach of Area has been developed

This also concludes chapter 3..... I got a bit of a nasty time table today, but I hope I can make a start to chapter 4 soon.... As it has loads of scenario at first, this will be a rather nasty and complex happening with most of all, loads of SASKIA sequences

Abyss concluded.... As I said the "True Abyss" is a later concern

PINK! It's my new obesssion! PINK! It's not even a question!

That will do

III

Less HP for boss... This would simply take TOO long

I hate Murphy's law!

Take II

Hopefully this helps

For some reason the game freezes

Take I (and only take I hope)

Although no trouble can be expected, a test is still in order! Let's go!

Boss Defeated not properly noted, to it would appear again, and a again, and again

Boss

Boss

SuperPink

Art SuperPink

Alpha

vUpdate

The boss itself will be done later!

Yes! It happens like that!

That seems to be happening

Take IX

I've set "The True Abyss" to unlock in the manu menu if the Abyss has been completed

Of course, now to find out if stuff actually works

At least I see the data I wanted to see stored at the respective spot

Take VIII

Illegal API call

Take VII

Of course, it could be something else, but let's see

Like ALWAYS it's likely the .NET error was not an issue in the .NET part of the code.... I forgot a return command in the NIL code
