Yasathar's temple

All is fine there

Script check

Boss Script worked out

Additions for showing heroes for scenario

Scenario looks to be in order

Scenario for Yasathar's temple

At this moment his will force an error

Boss link made

Absolutely terrible but the best I can do... for now

Take VI

Progress

Take V

And a few blockmap issues?

I think I got PART of the problem....

These housekeepings always come at the worst possible moment, eh?

Take IV

Extra debug lines will have to tell me what the fuck is going on here!

This is NOTHING near what it should look like

Take III

And that fixes everything, I hope....

Recompiled

Ah, my fixed Go script (I refuse to call it an application... Go doesn't come near that level) was not written in .exe form

Take II will have to note if that fixes or at least voids what just happened.... But I am really beyond what could cause that...

At least I fixed an illegal group call

I have NO idea at all what is happen now!

Linked the world map to this place

As I realized I forgot something very important

Take Cancelled!

And as soon as that's done I've set the system to immediately start test Take I

That will condemn me to a music rebuild, however that shouldn't take too long

Angevin will once again be the music used here

I've set up the MapScript to appear and disappear accordingly

I've set up an empty script.... SASKIA does not really come into play here except for the boss and for unlocking the city of Gagolton, before that comes into play I first have other things to take care of

Still a lot of scripting to do... Particularly in this place

Yasathar's Temple

Break-wall in Naked Rocks Cave works

Blocked exit

I am now preparing the game for the next mission, which is Yasathar's temple.... That will not really be a dungeon, but rather a scenario hub, however a boss will be present there, and not a very nice one.... But that comes later!

All appears well now

Take VI

Blockmap issues

Variable defined that will prevent Aldarus coming back over and over

Party should disappear after defeating Aldarus

At least the battle against Aldarus appears to work now, but I need to take care of one tiny little thing

The mouse clicks are still not completely in order.... I think a complete system reset may be required, and in the worst case scenario a new mouse

Okay, let's now start Take V for real!

Just as I thought.... Closing some tabs in my browser helps a bit

And my system has more and more trouble registering my mouse clicks.... I wonder why

Oh, sorry.... I was taken up by a few unexpected real-life things

Take V

There was also a case error furtheron on the script, though

That fix has been confirmed

Take IV

Let's force it to do things right then

I see, the foe compiler busted

Take III Will have to tell me if that is true

So some extra debug lines have been put in place for that

The most obvious explanation could only come from not properly copied statistics.... I need to find out if that is true and why that could possibly happen

Random interval empty?

Take II

AI syntax errors

Probably more here, but I don't care about that

20 commits pushed

So Let's start on Take I

Boss Record will be generated on the way

I'll push them soon

Repositories

False item record

Linked the script to the boss record

And always copy Eric's statistics, so leveling him up prior to this fight is pretty much senseless

Aldarus will follow a specific order on moves

Aldarus

Katana

Pushing will be done later, though

Loads of commits to be done

Aldarus Severing Strike

AutoHelp will automatically respond to this new situation now

Rebecca will learn this move once Aldarus is killed (and I mean killed, not defeated in the encounters you have before).

Lay on hands

The boss fight will not yet start, though....

A missing "defeat" part in the Black Dragon SASKIA script

Boss config

"Are you paying attention? Or are you looking to the woman in the red dress?"

Missing ingame achievement for defeating the black dragon

Aldarus boss art

And that will do for now... The boss fight itself will be scripted later!

Take XVI - Let's just try that again.... Windows must have had a kind of fuck up on me....

Build failure

Take XV

Dupe label in SASKIA scipt

That gets part one of this script fixed, but things do not work out AFTER the cage falls

Take XIV

Will this end it all?

Take XIII

And an extra debug line

Small code adaption

WHAT THE FUCK IS THAT?

Take XII

Link state error

Take XI

Huh????

Take X

I think this fixes the issue with the non-correction of the OnyxBang object, and going to the cage in stead

Not there yet, though

I think I fixed the cage taking too long to come down

That is MUCH of improvement, but we're not there yet as a lot is still NOT in order!

IX

Needs to be rebuilt

Fixes the next issue

Added

No boolean manipulation in Kthura API?

Take VIII

At least the routines are NO LONGER ignored

Boolean transfer error in Map linkage routines

Take VII

Hopefully this solves the problem

Aha... Now the logs confirm a few things I already suspected

Take VI

Let's try this!

WTF???

Take V

Nothing happening under the hood????

Take IV

I need to sort this out!

WTF?

Take III

Did I fix the cage not coming down?

Take II

Fixing Aldarus event being ignored in the process

Linked the SASKIA script to the zone on the map

Aldarus should NOT have been visible from the start

WISH ME LUCK!!!!

But I can at least test how things work so far.....

I've made a record for Yasathar's temple which will unlock once Aldarus is defeated.... The game will for now crash as soon as the battle starts, though

Aldarus

Link code for the SASKIA scriptout

Set up the meganism which will activate the cage

I've unlinked a devlog entry causing trouble... I do not know what was in there, but it's likely caused by wrong keyboard setting as the software updating this devlog does not like non-ascii characters

Prepared for the boss fight scenario

Trap cage now put onto the map, but it's invisible while not in use

At LAST!

Everything is cool now!

Take III

Mistagging breaking the link

Take II

Squashed a cockroach

Take I

Alpha testers who may be gaining access before I set that boss fight up, don't think it's a good idea to go back to the world map unchecked, as the next location to go to will NOT unlock without fighting that boss, so sorry!

The room where the boss will be can be reached now, but the boss will not appear yet

That link back up has been established now

I've linked the stairway to the base floor.... At least that works one way now

BRB

Stairs issue

Take V

Blockmap issue

Hookspot works now

Take IV

And while I was at it I fixed the swap exit points

I think

But the internal debug features already answered why that is, so that is easy to fix

Nope!

Take III

I hope

Hookspot doesn't work

Take II

At this point in my savegame Scyndi should learn "Vitalize"

Eric learns "Neutralize poison" accordingly

Secret passage

Take I

This area can eventually chain back to area 001, where Scyndi can use her whip to get you out of here (that is, if the boss weren't in the way at the exit), but that link has not yet been set up, causing the stairway down to ignore you

Area 008

Warrior's vest

Another test then.....

put onto the map

Steel Dagger

False Clock record

Item Config

Nothing happens

Let's test how Irravonia acts

And for some reason NJCR was acting up on me....

I'll get into the others later

Packed

I've animated Irravonia's attack with her wand....

I hate that fucking randomizer fuction Lua comes with!

I really need to disembowel that code, I guess

Illegal class call in Disembowel

Dang! I should have counted them!

Missing Barrier

Malformed boolean expression in Disembowel script

Eric not gaining skill EXP for Darkness

Treasure Tag

(It was a stupid little error, oh well).
