SASKIA syntax error

Again!

event would trigger again if you already found Eric

You may have noticed that time was not on my side today... Oh well, shit happens, I suppose

I gotta test if this all works

Linked to map

Finding Eric Event

Making Eric and Brendor rejoin the group is now my first priority

Stuff is now alright...

#125

Take III

Target issue in intimidate

Take II

#130

Denor cannot charm the same creature twice

Repackaged Music JCR already

War Shout!

I've downloaded Daily Beetle for the GJ Only dungeon here, but that comes later

And now to test the place with random encounters available

So the data I need here will be generated automatically from now on... Good!

I've set the swapkill generator in my build script

Random encounters added

Azquakunda Prison

Assassin

Regardless of difficulty setting, Merya can learn "Disembowel" when she has both her dagger and rogue skills set to 35+, regardless of difficulty settings

Disembowel effect

Disembowel

Guard Dog

That brings us to the next step... The guard dog enemy ;)

I've linked Growl to Dernor and he can learn it when he manages to charm a Guard Dog

Growl

Updating in the meantime

Take III

A weird wall disappearance issue

Take II

The respawn reset works

Cell hide/show fix

I need to run a little test.... I am only gonna test if stuff works up to the moment Eric and Brendor would normally rejoin the group... For now those two will ignore you. If this all works my next target is to get the random encounters to work first, anyway.....

Upon reaching this floor for the first time the respawner will reset. This because you'll meet a boss at the exit... This was also the reason for some points of no-return in this dungeon

This will be the area were Eric and Brendor will rejoin the party

Area 005

And I am glad that one is out of my way

#92

SCORE!!!

A manual fix in the generated script must tell me if a mistake I made was indeed what I think it is.... Since we're talking about a code generator I must fix the generator to make the fix real, or things will get broken on the next map, requiring a new generation

Take II

?

Wait a minute

Let's run the game again and mess a bit with the debug log, shall we....

Although.... the kill swap script appears to be executed, which makes things even stranger!

No effect

Let's see if it works.... :-/

Should be loaded now while the intro screen is loading... Since this is the first thing that will happen before anything else, this should work a few things out!

as far as i can judge the generated NIL code looks good

Completed (assuming it all works as it should)

In order to tackle #92 I've now set up a quick Go skeleton that does at least scan successfully which maps are present inside the JCR6 resource

But first a little break

Before I move on #92 as this is really beginning to get onto my nerves....

Good

MaxFloor

Area 004

That works

Activated barrier switches

Missing exit

Area 003

Everything works the way it should now....

Take V

Aha... So that is why

fix ignored (the error even shows stuff no longer even mentioned in the source code)

Take V

Wrong zone tag activation

Moron!

Take IV

Link Tag Check error

Take III

Yeah, that was the reason why nothing happened at all

Invalid mapscript name

Nothing happens

Take II

Forgtten "Next" tag

Let's try... Take I

I've also tried to write a script which would automatically hide all secrets Merya scan scan for, and hopefully that works

And linked everything together

Area 002

Script to load Merya's scan tutorial written

Create mapscript for Azquakunda

So far.... for now!

A few minimal adaptions, but other than that this is cool!

Scenario

Scenario text for Azquakunda prison

Small test

Area 001

NEXT!

Wrong exit tag in Azquakunda prison

Something's not right here

I can throw in a little test to see how things are going

Some needed config taken care of

Niets.saskia copied as base script.... No alias as I am damn sure more SASKIA scripting is gonna be required here

Linked to the first room of Azquakunda prison

Area 000 Azquakunda Prison

Transferred Azquakunda Textures

It took too long before the right enemies appeared... I quit this for now, and I'll move on, or this will take forever

Take XV

Missing "end" in Dernor's PowerUp script

Updated

Updated

It was a bit hard to run the tests when the computer crashes on that crap, you know!

Done!

While we are at it, let's go for Merya as well

Present now for Dernor

Ah yeah, I need a proper skill up script for Dernor and Merya... I really forgot about that!

Take XIV will be started, but I may do this is phases as my food comes first

put some leftover Chinese food in my microweave as I need to eat.... I'm hungry

AP issue for bloodsucker

Charming DOES lead to a new move.... so far things work... All I got to check now is the prevention of dupe charms

Take XIII

I can confirm that the charming appears to be working now, but I do not know if dupe charms work or if the spells granted this way work.... But that will be the next step, however an empty RENC bar forced me into a new take

Take XII

Now fixed then?

No!

Take XI

I had to stop halfway this take, because of a visitor arriving here.... Now that he's left I can start a new take

Alias fix, as I coincidentally found out the pollen move aliases were wrong.... Lesser important at this moment, but before I forget!

Take X

That fixes the issue?

Added

"Reg/" required

IX

Log confirms an invalid boolean outcome on the foe check.... Now some more lines to get a better picture!

Take VIII

Moar debug needed as I did not get the info I need... At least I know the charm survives the first check and performs the most outer checking loop, but it comes out with no matches, and that is something I must short out

Take VII

Some debug lines must tell me why charm requests are ignored

That doesn't cover all stuff though

Linked to character

Spores

no crashes, but charm does nothing at all, so my quest to sort out why has begun!

Take VI

And so I could easily fixed a broken enemy referrence

Refixed KTE

But that is for tomorrow

Okay.... I see the death cap is not well tagged in the Kthura map

Take VI

I was right, this was a fault that would have caused a crash anyway even in "pure" Lua code

Syntax error

Take V

Getting the position of this error in the code, this is likely the last direct NIL error, but who knows what is to come

Another one, of a different kind this time

Take IV

Another

Take III

Bad referrence

Take II

I should have added an extra #accept

Take I

Assuming there are no bugs (wishful thinking) everything should work now, except of animals NOT yet appearing in charmed spells... That comes later

Charm check

Which is now still an empty bool function, but hey, everything goes step by step!

Link to charm checker

So that'll be the next step in this operation.

This does NOT yet cause Dernor to learn new moves, oh no.... the checker for that is not yet available

Add Done Charming itself works now, or at least if there are no bugs, as nothing has been tested yet!

#1

I'll start later on the actual first things to do for the charm move, as my time is too short now to even consider starting on that!

Anti-Boss protection for the "Gone" status....

Taken a quick look at a few things I needed to know before really turning things to code

vUpdate

And I guess this is where it must end as I really can't focus anymore

The Gone status change. This status change is basically set up to make "Charm", "SmokeBomb", "Void", and "Blow Away" possible

Since I am not exactly clear minded anymore I won't do much, as I cannot focus that well right now, but I have a few things I can do....

Well that appears to be in order for now

Right, time to sort a few things out... Dernor's charm move is more integrated into the battle system than any other move or spell.... The charm move itself will NOT yet work, but any parse errors can cause the combat routine not to function

My time's up for today... Or at least for the next couple of hours.... I'll have to wait with the charming itself....

And that will do for now when it comes to actual moves to learn... More will have to be added later.

A few non-charm spells added to Dernor's sheet

I've adepted the pollen moves for usage by a playable character

And with that Dernor might well be the only character who has more moves at his disposal when you have a Game Jolt account.... Cool!

I've configured Dernor with the possibility to charm the flowers in Botanica

With that stuff is not yet guaranteed to work when the actual charming begins

Adding the other moves I've listed so far is easy now

Alright!

Now one for which multiple enemies can be charmed (you'll only need one of them, not all)

Of moves of which only one enemy can be charmed this works at least

I need to put this to the test, of coure!

The autohelp should now be able to tell you what Dernor should charm in order to obtain a move

Please note, Charm still does nothing at all, but at least the game should no longer crash when you try to use it now

I've linked his first ability to this skeleton

Trying to work out an environment for Dernor's charming

The time is now right to start on charm, but as it's late at night now, this will have to wait...

The stuff I want to work, does work, good!

Take III

Bad enemy ref
