Sped up fade-out sequence darkness effect in cell... This really took far too long

Alpha issue bar fight

Take VIII

Bad Scenario references

Fade-out darkness not showing

Take VII

Issue

Take VI

Illegal object usage in the creation of Foxy

Take V

String!=Identifier

Unprefixed macro

Take IV

Syntax error

Microsoft DIE with you stupid backslashes!

Fight coordinate boundaries set to screen boundaries

Take II

Conflict

Take I

WISH ME LUCK!

Foxy & Reggie

Step one in speaking to Yirl

NOT yet tested, though!

Yirl's abilities and business points system has been set up

#40

Combat menu: Foxy

Combat menu: Yirl

Now I need to prepare for Yirl and Foxy to join the party

Exit

Speak to Yirl

Leave the bar (not needed, but it makes the game more complete)

Let's find out why

Unpopping doesn't

Popping works

Let's see now!

The basic concept works, though

Some issues

Gotta test this all

Stork

PartyPop

Yirl priror to speaking to Stork

Bladeh at the bar scripted

Yup! #80 is fixed now!

It looks like #80 was a bug in Neil itself.... (one of the core features)... and the "d" is now also explained... figures.... let's see how stuff works now!

The latter is about to be put to the test!

The two astrilopups can be overheard when Wendicka is in the lead. The other two can try but won't understand a word of what they are saying.

Bartender's speech autolinked

Entrance linked to the bar's inside

Yup, a real music generator was used for this... I hate this kind of music,but this one came out quite well, and was actually perfect for this particular location.... I would otherwise just have disposed it XD

The generated music piece "Don't talk too much" has been added to the bar inside

API added for this

And NOW it works!

Take V

More crap

Take IV

I think i got it!

Take III

One more fix

Take II

A few fixes are required here

Take I

Selling by dragiing

Buying works

Take III

Prefix conflict

Take II

Group error

Take I

Cosmetic yet important... On the bottom of the shop panel you can see how much credits you have....

Buying should work now

Trashing now also possible in stores

Item drag store

Take VI (or is it DC by now?)

I lost what I all fixed

Take V

....

IDIOT!

Take IV

Stupidity

Stock

So far, so good!

Take III

Fixed Item data link type

Take II

Tons of syntax errors

Take I

Dum-de-dum

Linkup

I've set up the basics for a store... You can neither buy nor sell at the moment, but at least this gives a bit of a view on things, eh?

Still a long way to go before I can set up the stores, though

Databases converted

Now the time will come to add the first item shop.... There are only a very few of these, but hey they need to be set up well anyway

Some issues we got here

Aurina exchange

Large complex mapscript. here you can find full information about it!

Well, it's not much,but let's put it to the test anyway 😁

Introduction upon arrival

Back to the Grass Jungle, for what good it will do, as it's not like you'll get very far there anyway, but hey, this prevents whiners 😜

All that works is the transporter pad. All else doesn't work yet. NPCs will ignore you and you cannot yet enter the bar.

Some preps for the bar

GOOD!

I guess

Take II

Clear screen error

Coordinate recalc error

Well?

Jump at the end

Boss works!

Boss - Take II

Hotfixes

Well?

Boss tutorial set

Boss fight

Then TAKE XVIII should be the final test as far as this part is concerned (trying to challenge the boss should (for now) crash the game)

Although this does not cover all speed issues (so it seems) it does at least cover a few up, which is already worth a lot, I tell ya!

and so stuff should really be okay... Wheew!

Some blockmap issues

This appears to be working now

Trust me... this is SOOOOO true!

Take XVII

Object error

Take XVI

And I fixed another issue in the Reject assignment routine

Blockmap which was still a total disaster (this I had to do anyway)

I already suspected that some enemies were placed wrong.... This was based on that there could never be this many enemies sharing reject zones

Some code in C++ that will only lead to information I no longer need, at least, at the moment I definitely don't. (If i need it in the future it'll be easy to "undummy")

Take XV

Pointer issue?

Take XIV

And taken care of real-life stuff

Some idiot things in the way

Take XIII

Declaration issue

Take XII

What are the facts? This list must show that

It appears enemies NEVER get rejected even when they should (the map and the log indicate so)

Take XI

Reject swapup fix

Take X

Made myself some coffee

period error

Take IX

Fixed Static error

Good that I know about this, though, and I think I know what causes this.... Oh well....

Void succesful..... (figures)

Take VIII

CSayF " issue?

Take VII

List fuckery

Take VI

Reject resetting error

All PARSE ERRORS appear to be accounted for

Take V

Property fault

The cat has her food now

Take IV

Function definition syntax error

Take III

I really must feed my cat now

Dupe identifier

Take II

Eating

And a meta data fix

ID issue

Take I

And hopefully this helps me to resolve #89

Rejected foes will also move back to their original positions

And the system has been set up NOT to check rejected actors

Routine which will reject the foes has been set up

The reject zones are being detected, and enemies are also scanned for these zones

I'm setting up a reject system... This wil reject all enemies outside the zone the player is now in... I only plan to use this in places where the number of enemies can be quite large and therefore slow the game down. It basically rejects all enemies that are not relevant.

Achievement save

A little test is in order, but no trouble should be expected

And that links back, of course, to the grass jungle

Leave the cave

The next step will be to exit the cave, in order to return to the Grass Jungle.....

And with that the Dark Caves is completable

Take I for the jewels and the second jump + experience + achievement

Emerald and Ruby

Take I for the jumpdowns though....

I do need to see to it that the special rewards you can get here are given... This uses a special system, and I need to do a bit of study behind that

Jump Down

And the first Aurina dropped at last!

And that actually worked easier than I could have imagined

Take III

Void Stat Stats conflict... both will work from now on!

Take II

Bad map read-out

Take I

I am preparping food also now, but as my rice will need time to boil.... I can start a few takes.... Don't know how many I need, but here goes nothing!

Yes, I do expect a LOT of trouble here....

Boss fight set up (I hope)

I really need to know why aurinas never drop

Cancel effect on Crystal's "Dart" ARM
