Teleporter bug

Did I fix transporter animation bug?

Take MDCVII

Fire and glitter sound effects

I really need to find a way to get .jpbf done in KthuraTransfer

Take MDCV

Link to lobster font still turned out faulty

Take MDCIV

Font Transferred

Lobster font search

Take MDCIII

Bad Extern

Take MDCII

Building script not yet set up for building MapData

Take MDCI

I will run a test on a non-boss to see if it happens there too

The game froze on killing the boss.... I don't understand why, though.

Bad Map Script Header Keyword

All this SHOULD make the game playable until the moment that Wendicka is all alone in Excalibur, but we never know before testing... right?

Scenario alias, as the sickbay scene uses the same scenario as the Yaqirpa. I really don't know why I made that foolish decission back then, but let's take it the way it is.

"Panic Stations" by Widzy

"Blip Stream" tune (by Kevin McLeod) which is the background music for Excalibur when all is quiet there.

Excalibur All Quiet map

Excalibur Sick Bay map

Now that the new version of the game is playable up to the first boss, there will soon not be much point in keeping this operation a separate branch. The hard work is done. I've set the milestone to myself that once the entire prologue section of the game is covered to merge this branch to the master branch, and work out things further from there.

Before I actually remove the Apollo game from Game Jolt, I want to be as far as working on the final dungeon first, if not further. Of course, when the first open version is being pushed to itch, the time at Game Jolt will definitely be over as far as Star Story is concerned and more games will likely follow suit.

In any case, an important milestone has been reached, now.

Take MDLXXXV

JCR6.Dir()

Take MDLXXXIV

Case error in Lua core calls

Take MDLXXXIII

Map.Obj.... void delegates (prevents code rot)

Take MDLXXXII

Order of things?

Take MDLXXXI

I think I fixed the issue with the non-disappearing Astrilopups.

It just appears the permakills were not properly loaded.

Take MDLXXX

Not sure, but I think I fixed the bug causing the first box of scenario to be skipped

Take MDLXXIX

I hope

Take MDLXXVIII

Alias for Astrilopups in combat

Take MDLXXVII

Conflict caused it this time... Oh well.

:upper() came up again, but at least he eternal loop, or whatever it was that caused the freeze appears to be fixed.

Take MDLXXVI

I guess the list will need to remain in RPGPureChar. Well at least I know what's bugging it.

Take MDLXXV

Illegal function call

Take MDLXXIV

Maybe making a "pure" call helps...?

The logs do at least indicate the "evil" is not in the list contains checker.

Take MDLXXIII

Tons of code typos, because I'm in a hurry to get this right.

Take MDLXXII

A hardcode debug line has to provide me a few answers.

Everything points out that the list checker might be the evil here. But why?

Take MDLXXI

Some experimental debug crap will have to tell me more.

I need a break first, and after that I need to investigate why this happens

For some reason the game freezes completely when selecting an ability in combat.

Take MDLXX

No "HAS"

Guarding would not work, due to OS target type malfunctioning

Take MDLXIX

I think I fixed the evil behind Wendicka's ability window (nor anyone else's for that matter, but that was not yet shown as Wendicka is the only one who can perform abilities at this point) not being shown.

Problem solved.... At least, so it seems.

Take MDLXVIII

Well, let's do that now, as it needed to be done anyway

Fuck it! Game crashed because Reggie's protrait was not yet transffered.

Take MDLXVII

2nd take required

Take MDLXVI

Oops. Everything disappeared now, but no matter, I can dummy that command. Since Wnedicka's spell list should fix itself anyway, due to installing when being first loaded.

Take MDLXV

Link to game

Build it!

That links it

Glueup code

In order to allow the game to fix itself, I've set up a UniqueOnly filter in SCI

Statistician list contains, fucked.

Take MDLXIV

A debug feature disguised as enhancement

Interesting, yet not the way it should be!

Take MDLXIII

I don't believe it!

Take MDLXII

Apparently not all selfs were accounted for

Take MDLXI

Coderot line

Take MDLX

All selfs accounted for?

Take MDLIX

Moar!

Take MDLIV

Neil >> Scyndi:: Spark SpellAni

It works!

Take MDLIII

More advanced InterState call than Apollo caused me to suffer here.

Take MDLII

Let's try a few more messagse (I hate it when it comes down to that) to narrow this down!

But why?

At least the reports show that whereever it is it goes wrong, it must be somewhere in the Jewel Stat recalculation.

Take MDLI

This is getting crazier

Take MDL

What the hell was I doing?

Take MDXLIX

More debug lines must narrow the issue down

Take MDXLVIII

The tagname wasn't put in uppercase by GetIt, at least not when getting the item, so where does it go wrong then?

Take MDXLVII

Debugging is twice has hard as writing the code in the first place.

Take MDXLVI

Why was the character tag in all caps (there is a way to bypass it, but it'll make the checks slower)

Take MDXLV

Multiple cases of :upper()

I -knew- this was gonna haunt me for awhile

Take MDXLIV

Jeroen, jij slapjanus!

Couldn't resist doing a few more tiny fixes!

But THAT is for later.

Wendicka's DEATH BLOW -does- activate, but the game will crash because the Death Blow effect doesn't yet exist in Scyndi.

Take MDXLIII

And another array 1 or 0 start fuckup

I think there was an identifier conflict guaranteeing nothing but an instant kill

Take MDXLII

No crashes when checking if Wendicka learns something

Take MDXLI

First hero position (where Wendicka stands) not accepted as front row, hence the game would crash when Wendicka has to enter her first move

GINIE error in Crystal's Combat Command Script

Take MDXL

PhotonGun

Take MDXXXIX

The negative versions of enemies

The transfer was done on a bit of a dirty way, but who cares

What works that works, right?

Take MDXXXVIII

The self-property bug

Take MDXXXVII

Take MDXXXVI

Neil -> Scyndi: AI Default

Take MDXXXV

I think I covered this now

Take MDXXXIV

Let's set up something to see what .HASMEMBER has to do exactly in IAA

Take MDXXXIII

HaveStat link

Take MDXXXII

No effect on action

Take MDXXXI

:upper() came to haunt me .... again!

Take MDXXX

Const and := don't mix

Take MDXXIX

Incomplete link

Take MDXXVIII

All assets by GR-Sites have been transferred

All compiler errors accounted for, but this test will now extent into the runtime

Take MDXXVII

Rotation works entirely different in SCI from the way it worked in Apollo

Take MDXXVI
