15:10	CONFIRMED	My RPG character viewer confirms the modifications
15:07	TEST	Take IX (from the normal route again)
15:06	FIXED	I think I found how Briggs could end up in here, but that also means data of non-existent characters could be modified, which should not be possible
15:03	FAILURE	My earlier save also confirmed that Briggs is non-existent
15:01	FAILURE	The system tries to save data related to Briggs, while Briggs was removed from the database completely... How did he magically come back?
15:01	TEST	Take VIII
14:59	DEBUG	I've turned this into a proper panic handling, and perhaps I can also see this where where it goes wrong
14:57	DEBUG	From what I can see in the debug log, one of the statistics has been deemed "NULL"....
14:55	TEST	Take VII will therefore run from there!
14:55	VISUALSTUDIO	Let's take this from inside Visual Studio to sort out!
14:55	HUH	The savegame file (which fortunately did not yet overwrite any existing savegames) exists, but contains 0 bytes, so something must have gone REALLY REALLY wrong here
14:54	HUH	Now Stuff goes very strange... When I make a debug save the entire engine crashes... That should NOT be possible, so that needs to be sorted out!
14:52	TEST	Take VI
14:52	FIXED	Scenario tag typo
14:50	TEST	Take V
14:50	FIXED	Point tag invalid
14:49	TEST	Take IV
14:48	FIXED	Missing underscores
14:46	TEST	Take III
14:46	DONE	Make sure non-existent stuff is linked too
14:39	TEST	Take II
14:39	FIXED	SIIIIGH!
14:37	TEST	Let's test now
14:35	MAPSCRIPT	First part of the scenario set up... This to make sure I see the scenario respond....
14:33	MAPSCRIPT	Crystal Creation
12:58	CONFIRMED	My RPGChar viewer tool confirms that all links have been established...
12:56	CONFIRMED	I can at least confirm that Wendicka did succesfully copy the level from her Uniformed counterpart
12:54	TEST	Take VIII
12:54	FIXED	GRRR!
12:54	STUPIDITY	AAAAARGH! Another bug of that!
12:51	TEST	Take VII
12:51	FIXED	Bug in the C++ link code
12:48	TEST	Take VI
12:48	FIXED	That should take care of that one
12:48	STUPIDITY	Ah, I can already see why this happens (what a dick I am)
12:47	FUCKYOU	Error that cannot possibly be right
12:44	TEST	Take V
12:44	RECOVERED	WTF?
12:44	HUH	Fixed reversed?
12:32	TEST	Take IV
12:32	FIXED	Case error (possible when you have some linkups in pure Lua)
12:29	TEST	Take III
12:29	STUPIDITY	Bad boolean expression (really beyond stupidity actually)
12:23	TEST	Take II
12:23	VOID	And void any negative effect
12:23	CHEAT	Well, since I cannot fix that issue, all I can do is cheat around it
12:01	BUG	Some ghost records are there.... I don't know how they can be there, but it's definitely not the way it should be
11:57	BUG	The system claims the character "Wendicka" already exists (which is NOT the case, so I need to sort out why this happens)
11:55	TEST	Take II
11:55	FIXED	Apollo linkup syntax error
11:54	TEST	Take I
11:54	LINK	Done
11:48	CHEAT	In order to cheat I will make (for now) the discovery of Crystal only create a new version of Wendicka... The actual script otherwise are (for now) of later concern.... I got my tools to check if stuff went right
11:47	SCRIPT	Wendicka in her general form creation script
11:44	FIXED	Hotfix in my C++ code
11:18	APOLLO	Existence checker added
11:08	FIXED	Some warnings popped in the Kthura API.... Fixed them.
11:06	VISUALSTUDIO	Compiling
10:58	NOTE	Testing is NOT yet possible, we'll have to see later if the linkups were all successful... I hate that too, you know, but I got no choice here.
10:58	LINK	That should link it all up... I hope
10:53	LUA	Link up code
10:53	C++	With the little enhancement you can even do all in once (which is for Wendicka the quickest way to go)
10:52	C++	I've set up the code in Apollo to make sure Linking character data will be possible
- = 17 Feb 2021 = -
22:26	CONFIRMED	And Crystal is also lying in her bed (as she should)
22:26	CONFIRMED	That works
22:23	TEST	Should... but does it?
22:23	MAPSCRIPT	If within range the flag should be commented
22:17	TEST	Let's see
22:17	DEBUG	For debugging purposes for now
22:17	LINK	Linked that to the flag of Brabant
22:09	SCRIPT	Distance checker
22:09	SCRIPT	Distance calculator
21:58	NOTE	I'll save the vault for later.... I'll first focus on getting the story done here
21:54	TODO	#82
20:14	FIXED	Ah yeah, the old naming system....
20:00	SCENARIO	I've added some extra scenario for when Wendicka examines the uniform in the living room.
17:52	TEST	Let' see
17:51	DONE	Save spot (computer in Wendicka's bedroom) should work now
17:13	TEST	Take III
17:12	FIXED	Will it work now?
17:09	TEST	Take II

17:09	STUPIDITY	Idiot
17:08	TEST	Take II
17:08	VOID	I guess this isn't working well yet in Neil
17:06	TEST	Let's see
17:06	MAPSCRIPT	I've set the rooms to appear and disappear as you enter and leave them
16:26	STATUS	Time for a leeeetle break!

16:15	TEST	Take IV
16:15	VOID	schedule issue (the price for using C++)
16:10	TEST	Take III
16:10	FIXED	The doors to Sickbay would open (for nobody to see) in stead of Wendicka's front door
16:08	TEST	Take II
16:08	CONFIRMED	The rest appears to be in order
16:08	FIXED	Tag error
15:44	TEST	At least I can test if the entrance itself works, plus if the door to Wendicka's "beloved" neighbor works.... Take I
15:43	NOTE	Now if the correct file plays in all situations can only be tested once the situation arises (and since Wendicka's house is even part of the final dungeon, that can take a long time)
15:41	NOTE	A lot will need to be done to make everything about Wendicka's house work properly, though.....
15:39	MUSIC	The music played in Wendicka's house is dependent on the situation in the story line. The script which should take care of this has been written now.
15:38	LINK	Entrance to Wendicka's house now linked to her house (in other words, you can enter)
14:03	CLOSED	#81
13:06	FIXED	Minor fix

11:14	TEST	Take I
11:14	MAPSCRIPT	Jones
11:14	MAPSCRIPT	Johnson
11:14	CHEAT	A way to make entering Johnson's quarters more easy (Why make stuff needlessly complicated)
- = 16 Feb 2021 = -
21:35	STATUS	from here we get to the point that Wendicka is gonna have her little "chat" with admiral Johnson....
21:26	ENHANCEMENT	Prolonged wait time for autosaves, as 3 minutes was way too short
21:21	CONFIRMED	Success!
20:36	EXPERIMENT	One more experiment, though
20:34	FUCKYOU	FINALLY!
20:31	TEST	Take IX

20:29	TEST	Take VIII
20:29	VOID	Boolean parameter issue
20:25	TEST	Take VII
20:25	EXPERIMENT	Does THIS do the trick to void this issue?
20:25	FUCKYOU	That is bogus
20:15	TEST	Take VI
20:14	DEBUG	Some extra debug crap will have to make clear where it goes wrong
20:02	COCKROACH	Oh well, cockroaches are hard to kill after all
20:02	CONFIRMED	At least Wendicka beams out... But I can't say I am full of satisfaction yet, as the spawn on a different location refuses to work
19:59	TEST	Take V
19:59	FUCKYOU	Let's force a few things through then... hm?
19:58	COCKROACH	Now I wish to know which part of SKIPPING AUTO TEXTURING it doesn't undersand
19:54	TEST	Take IV
19:54	FUCKYOU	Let's try this
19:53	FIXED	I could at least do something about the lingering textbox, but still the wanted effect doesn't happen.... at all
19:53	COCKROACH	No difference
19:50	TEST	Take III
19:50	EXPERIMENT	Let's see
19:50	COCKROACH	This is gonna be a long night, I guess
19:45	TEST	Take II
19:44	CONFIRMED	"No Business" in sickbay works, though
19:44	FIXED	Quick beam de-spawn issue
19:39	STUPIDITY	It's #MACRO not #MARCO -- Come on... Marco Polo is of the past, not of the future.
19:04	TEST	Take I
19:04	STATUS	Time for the thest
19:04	LINK	More stuff linked up
18:54	LINK	Linked that to the Sickbay and Johnson area... But I think I need a few more

18:46	LINK	That should link things
18:45	MAPSCRIPT	Beam set up from sickbay to staff
18:29	KTHURA	Sweet Kthura help me out here
18:28	NOTE	This is not linked properly yet, though
18:24	MAPSCRIPT	Beam
18:11	STATUS	Now the harder part.... The transporter
17:53	CONFIRMED	It works!
17:21	TEST	Take I
17:21	STATUS	Testing time
17:20	SCENARIO	I've also altered a scenario so it would autolink better with the new version of the game...
17:19	NOTE	And that should prevent future conflicts with my builders
17:19	C#	I've enhanced my scenario editor... Now it's autosave feature will only save at fixed intervals in there were actually modifications
1:33	STATUS	That will do for now
1:26	FIXED	Several things
1:16	TEST	Let's see if this works the way it should work
1:16	SCRIPT	And the doors should be initially open but close behind Wendicka's back (you are NOT supposed to get back into sickbay ever)
1:15	SCRIPT	The system should now hide the stuff not part of the sickbay area
0:16	TEST	Take XII
0:16	VOID	That should take care of that!
0:07	SOLVED	Wait a minute, I THINK I know what caused this....
0:06	HUH	DA FUUUUCK! Unknown compression method "lzma".... I didn't even use that method in my packing scripts... wtf is going on here?
0:03	TEST	Take XI - Should be the final test (I hope)
0:03	DONE	reactivated the boss
0:01	COSMETIC	But a little tweak is required on the Doctor's font I see....
0:01	CONFIRMED	That seems to work
- = 15 Feb 2021 = -
23:54	STATUS	A little break, before I move on to the next take
23:53	LINK	This should now be linked automatically every time the doctor speaks
23:53	FONT	Lobster font by Pablo Impallari coverted into jfbf so the game can pick it up
23:45	BUG	What is an issue though is that the Doctor's font doesn't load... Now the font I used before may not be the best font in the new engine, but I gotta try
23:44	VOID	No longer an issue
23:43	BUG	Okay, the system does demand a foe list, even though when there are no foes in a certain map
23:41	TEST	Take IX
23:41	VOID	Make sure that if the wind direction of the "PLAYER" actor is not set, it will automatically assume "NORTH". This to prevent crashes
23:27	TEST	Take VIII
23:27	NOTE	Some maps really don't have music. I made sure these maps can just be loaded, and use the "Silence.ogg" file to prevent further trouble.
23:26	NOTE	Now the music can change during the course in this particular map, however since you cannot save your game here, that doesn't really matter, does it?
23:24	HUH	Your card doesn't support overlay No pts value from demuxer to use for frame! pts after filters MISSING Possibly bad interleaving detected. Use -ni option if this causes playback issues and avoid or fix the program that created the file. WTF is that supposed to mean? It concerns the Blip Stream tune... Well, since it plays fine no need to make a big fuss about it, right?
23:22	MUSIC	"Blip Stream" by Kevin McLeod linked to Excalibur when in "All quiet" mode
22:58	TEST	Take VII
22:58	VOID	FUCK THAT!
