Take V

Unknown identifier

Take IV

Acceptance issue?

Take III

Misspelled groupname

Take II

Unaccepted group due to order of reading

Take I

But for starters I've been linking the (not yet complete) execution group into the flow, and set it to resume the combat afterward... I will need to test if this works the way it was intended

Plus I must also buy myself some bread today

And I'll need to do some stuff on my VS project too, so this will be a bit of complex planning

The plan today, however is to go for the execution of the attack at last, however this ain't gonna be easy, or at least it will be time consuming

Done

I've been doing some work here, which was planned anyway.... This work may help me on this project also, so it is therefore still vital.

It came to my attention that in Windows 10 (at least on my computer) The Fairy Tale REVAMPED runs terribly slow... Nothing I can do about that right now, as my BlitzMax compiler is broken, and the game will require a complete redo in order to get on the move again.....

It will soon be dumped in the graveyard to die!

Void project in original form archived

And the trophies can be used to SHOW OFF ONCE MORE.... and we all think.... FINALLY!!!!

All errors caused during parsing appear accounted for

Take V

needed

Take IV

Illegal class call

Let's redo take III

Interrupted

Take III

Code typo

Take II

Declaration fault in xmath

Take I

Although it should already have been done, I'll generate the anyway scripts again, to make sure that the class is at least being read.

Okay, time to test this, but all I can test is the absence of parse errors, as this class cannot yet be tested for full workings yet.... Since the execution routine is not fully ready I cannot yet link this stuff, but I needed it to be ready in order to properly write that routine.

Hurt class set up

So I spent quite some time updating all that crap

Oh my! My nil libs repository REALLY was backlogged

Running

Backup tool config updated

a few teeeny weeny things

The linkup function has been written to make the script able to link all chosen targets to the actual effect calcuator.... This routine is vital as this is decisive in making sure that 1-target move and multi-target moves can run by means of the same script, and makes sure that all targets that should be hit are equally hit.... Sounds more complicated than it is....

Execution

Lic

And this required me to regenerate all Anyway collections

I've created an empty NIL script which should help me on the execution of moves... Which is to say the actual calculations of damage, healing, buffs, debuffs, status changes, well everything....

And that is as far as time allows me today

And I made a good start to that....

Started the AltDir project... That was planned anyway, and days with little time, like today, are perfect for that

Today I'll be expecting a friend, so I can better refrain from complicated stuff on the game... So I'll go for some easier projects in stead as long as I got the time!

Updated

Updated

I do have to wrote a few linkthroughs in SpellAni though

As SpellAni has no value in this stage of the game, I'll have to skip that for now, and move on to the next stage and that's where the action is actually being executed...

Nothing should make that possible, but this should be a later concern, perhaps later setups can sort this out....

Almost there, but I wonder what that negative picture was doing there... It doesn't belong there

Test XIX must point out if this actually does (as it should) make Irravonia appear during her attack

Misnaming issue

the pictures are not empty... BUT... I can see the naming does not match the way it should be, so that should be easy to fix

Added tag VERIFIED

Now time to take a look inside my magic JCR file as I do think we need to sort a few things out here

Not sure if that did what I desired

Take XVIII

doesn't solve the problem, but a test is in order

A few changes

Well, that fixes the C# issues, I think, but now Irravonia disappears completely, and that is NOT how things should be, so I wonder what happened!

Take XVII

And that should fix this entire issue (I hope)

Written a new overload for GetBundle and fixed a faulty one that should never have been declared the way it is

I think

And over to TQMG

Code analysis throws the ball back to NALA and not TQMG.... HMMMMM!

But why does this impossible scenario take place?

Right, my suspicion was correct

Take XVI

I've put in a routine that will generate a more proper error message if this is indeed the case

Now this belongs in the realm of impossibilities.... It would suggest no JCR file is properly attached to the bundle loader... This cannot be possible as that would mean that other bundles would generate the same error.... Irravonia's walking in the field wouldn't be possible by that, so I wonder why it still happens.... :-/

Good, at least the system has understood that this is about loading a bundle.... So that means that it must really be TQMG where it goes wrong, or at least where not the right error is being generated to seriously debug.

And now for more detailed information, so that I'll use for Take XV

I've updated my synchronisation script in order to make sure that negatives are also being synced

Link established but now I get an error clearly generated by .NET

So I need to sort a few things out here...

Take XIV

that SHOULD fix stuff, but who knows

Autoloadpic has been added to the animator

Take XIII

I've split a line to see wtf is happening...

The log confirms the impossibility, so further investigation is required

The 'nil' persists despite all impossibilities

Take XII

'nil'

Take XI

Tried to link stance to this shit

I had to adept the database records... All records accounted for!

Stance field added

To fix that I need to work out a few more things in my IAA database

But I think I know why this happens, and that's pretty silly, actually....

But nothing happens, and that's no good!

No more error messages

Take X

I will also watch some commedians so expect some slowdowns

Is running

Extra configuration to my backup tool

Yeah, I'd like to watch TV.... Sometimes... So I did watch Mindfuck

I'm first gonna watch the news

Wrong class called

Take IX

So let's run my powershell compilation script

Forgot to recompile NALA after the last upgrades

And now for take VIII and that brings everything in order, I think

And that was Take VII of course... system is acting up on me

This is the right tag

Take VIIadd Fixed Missing property

Missing object reference

Take VI

Missing Executor

Mesa not understand, but mesa things mesa fixed it

Take V

I hope.... I really don't know or understand it anymore

Fix ignored

Take IV

???

But there are still things not right!

All parse errors appear to be accounted for

Take III

Lack of self

Take II

Declaration syntax errors

Take I

My food is being prepped now, so that will put a damper on my testings... But then again, so did my getting ill

Updated

I'm still not well, but I guess I'll heave to deal with it.... I feel better than I did several hours before

Why am I always ill when I got the time to get some work done?

And link to the next session the spellani

Heroes should animate now on an action

That would link everything together forever!

And I've created the NIL property to make it run smoothly

I've set up a routine that can send to the Lua engine how many frames an animated image has

Skeleton scope setting

This must make sure the attack animation doesn't go too fast

Skiptimer

For the short term I did decide to remove the "jump-to-enemy" routine... It will be too much of a hassle, too much risks for bugs, and I've been in the Xenor Bushes way too long by now too...

I've checked how stuff reacts to attack poses as they are (mostly) fully animated (well fully is a big word, but they do have multiple frames).

I couldn't resist to start a few things up for my next novel, however this might be a true challenge, as the synopsis is very very short this time and lacks loads of details.... Vital details....

I've been looking into some stuff I may need if I'd still write the VOID IDE for the NIL language

Ah, fixed it!

That really sped things up... But NOT in a good way

I've enhanced TQMG with pixmap manipulation support...

I did find out that it took hours to get the Big Mama Slime done, however, a look in Visual Studio's memory monitor did show me why, and I feel stupid for that.... But I know what I can do to get that out of the way.... A good night's sleep can do that, eh?

I did fix a few issues I had with Neg

Now it may seem not much has been done, but don't be fooled... This was an important step in getting stuff working in the combat sequence....

Let's make sure I'll put this in when it's Star Story's turn to be revamped :P

Added tag PLAN

Now I realize I can also add this directly into NALA without the need of pre-rendered stuff.... This can be faster.... Well.... Oh well....

IT WORKS!!!! YAY!!!

Let's review this in GJCR

The builder picks that up

I've made it to just import the negatives... For now it's easier that way

The result has not yet been tested

I've set up the Neg program in C# now

I'm tired now... Trying to keep BlitzMax alive wore me out... And that it didn't even work... CRAP!

TQMG has been enhanced with a quick GetPixel and PutPixel method (well more than that, as there are some overloads, but WHO FREAKIN' CARES!)

I did find some useful stuff though in C#, I only need to work this out a bit more... All in all my time in B+ is not wasted as it does make a nice prototype....

But since B+ does not support transparency and can only output into bmp, the tool was rendered useless still...

A tool which can turn images to negative was doable in B+

Maybe BlitzPlus (or Blitz3D) can still get me a few things done to deal with this matter....

Added tag BLITZPLUS

EPIC FAIL!

I need to write a quick app in BlitzMax.... Since my blitzmax compiler doesn't work in 'real' windows, but only on my Mac, and the Windows compiler inside a Windows driven VirtualBox Virtual Machine, I guess I must have a shutdown in Windows now.... Yeah, it's really stupid that I need a mac to get a windows program working, and I really wouldn't believe it myself if it wasn't happening right before my own two eyes...

Running

However it's likely that won't be for today

With that the next stage of the combat editor can be done

And it all looks the way it should

There is a viewer in my GJCR6 tool and it's png compatible so I can take a look

Let's package all this, as I need to see what this will look like

Converted this to png

The old version had not attack stances. I decided to do them for this version, and thus a sprite of Young Irravonia attacking the enemy has been created

Okay! I decided to gave GraphicsGale a chance when it comes to pixel art manipulation.... I have to get a bit used to it, but it seems to have some very essential stuff for pixel art only, so let's see

Some real-life stuff

I've first been working to finish the first version of my newest novel..... Was about time too....

All items adepted

Added field "Jump2Target" to the IAA databse

My work on my brand new novel also continues folks....

I need some rest now.... This is complex work, and one stage of this complex thing has been taken care of now...

Running

All updated

All updated

That will have to do.... For now....

Take TWELVE will have to confirm this!

Hopefully it's all cool now....

A bit more switching around with numbers

Take ELEVEN!

And adjusted the time as the message was on the screen too short to be readable

Box size enlarged for a better look

All bugs accounted for, but now for some cosmetic issues

Take TEN!

Illegal function call!

Take NINE!

No not the missing link between ape and human

Forgotten link

Take EIGHT!
