Take XXI

That should do it!

"No value"?

Take XX

VOIDED!

NOT AGAIN!

Take XIX

Bug I DO desperately need a break now, so I'll be back later!

And a debug line has been added to see what is wrong

I do have the feeling though, that HP is not properly being subtracted, or that death is not being counted, anyway stuff doesn't work the way it should

AP Up on actions didn't happen

Take XVIII

?

Take XVII

A debug line has been added to sort this one out!

NOTHING AT ALL could have caused the error I see now to happen (Neil is protected against that, and the class has been checked too).

Take XVI

Scope error

Take XV

AP properties added

Take XIV

Oh really?

Take XIII

Does THIS work then?

Take XII

!

AAARGH!

Take XI

Syntax error

Take X

That's one.... And hopefully not more

Keeps one busy, eh?

The heroes' side however.....

Right, the foes part really seems to be all unknown identifiers accounted for.... (About time)

Take IX

NOW THEN?

Don't blame me for that

I guess I'm not concentrating anymore

Take VIII

....

They just keep on coming!

Take VII

GRRR!

Take VI

Now then?

Apparently not

Take V

All unknown identifiers accounted for? (At least in that particular script, as there are more)

Take IV

Several unknown identifiers

Take III

Scope error!

Take II

Syntax error

Take I

The time to test has begun.....

And I must take a break before I start testing... I expect no trouble, but hey... who knows, eh?

I can only check whatever happens for Wendicka, however this should work now for the other characters too....

AP should increase

However the level up system works seperately as it has to respond instantly, and that part has not yet been setup, so that will have to wait until later.

I've set up the system to count experience points for killing enemies

Alright, that's all fixed, so let's move on to this project, shall we?

A bug has been discovered by a player of Dyrt... Now this was a Game Jolt user, so it's possible the bug has already been fixed, but hey, always investigate as I cannot remember that one

next stop: Killing the enemy

Appears to be working now... At least

Take XX

Code order (oh my goodness)

Take XIX

Hit/Miss check

ALMOST THERE!

Take XVIII

Glue Syntax error

Take XVII

Glue issue

Wrong variable type

Take XVI

Issue in Neil

Take XV

Oh well

How could the old code ever have worked... at all?

Take XIV

Not really sure how this ever worked.... Oh well...

Take XIII

Bad Class Field

Take XII

And time for a break!

Bad field

Take XI

Another problem solved

Take X

Syntax error

Succesful at least (I think)

Take IX

this is terrible

III

SIIIIIGH!

Take VIII

II

Take VII

I

Take VI

Issue

Take V

Well as far as you can speakof a "namespace"

Namespacing error

Take IV

Okay, that syntax is not yet really fantastico in Neil.... Oh well

Take III

Scope issue

Take II

Fix in Neil

But I knew he'd come so I don't blame him....

Attacks should now actually cause pain... However, an important note.... this could not yet be tested due to a visitor coming at rotten timing

Expansion for stat existence detection

I fixed the post-game map with that, which was layerless (Star Story is the ONLY project in which layerless maps were used a lot, as I already deprecated them when I began TFT REVAMPED, and only some maps I directly copied at the time are still layerless, since back then my engine did still support them

I've added a feature in Kthura that will automatically convert layerless maps (which were already deprecated in BlitzMax and where henceforth removed when Kthura was transferred to C#, and will also not live on in C++) into maps with Layers.

This I will only do for C# as the map editor is now written in that language and now able to fix these maps. As I don't expect this issue anymore in future projects, I will not put this into C++ even when the mapeditor gets a C++ remake (which is not unthinkable at this point, but not in the immediate planning).

C# Kthura will now too convert all layer names into uppercase variants, and with that the ties to the BlitzMax version should definitely be severed... Well.. I hope

And it will end here... (for now)

better

Kthura issue with modifying scaling... This issue was there for quite awhile in the C# version of the Kthura Map Editor

Odd way the "hurt" messages came through

Well that's most bugs accounted for, yet I do see a few issues, but those are issues on their own

well?

Some needless return statements.... YAWN!

But I seem to be making progress, so let's not whine

MOAR crap!

GRRR!

Illegal class read-out

Okay, that issue is fixed, but another one pops up

THIS is gonna take awhile

Index error

Gotta find out, eh?

Or at least I hope so....

And fixed it

I think I found the issue

Why?

The log confirms what I already suspected.... For some reason it doesn't iterate the targets....

Forgotten comma... Yeah, that does a great deal when it comes to code.

Syntax error

Ok....

Let's find out why!

No results in the log.... Curious

ANOTHER!

URGH!

Let's see

Why?

Apparently not!

Well?

Issue with missed shots (since I didn't script the attacking out, all shots will (for now) miss, but the system didn't show that too well).

Ironically this bug did confirm the automatic replacement of BlitzMax animations with their jpbf counterparts works the way they should. Never knew bugs could come in handy someday

A bug in my Kthura Scanner

So far everything LOOKS to be in order

I've made an auto fixer in the Kthura Map Editor to replace BlitzMax animations into JPBF bundles if replacement can be found. This is essential since BlitzMax style animations are no longer supported.

And another test coming up

Hero sprite reset

Executor will no longer show as "Cancel"

Close, but no cigar

Well?

I hope

GOTCHA! I guess the dangers of using Marcos got exposed

Unknown identifier "CG3"... checks code... there is no CG3 in the code.... WTF?

It's late now, and I'm beginning to feel tired.... I have likely little time tomorrow, but I hope I can set a few tests up then...

Effect script linked to main execution routine

Man of Steal CC Full version textures transferred (I guess better late than never) :P

That did play off... One rotten object found and removed.... In a map where it was not important at all, but hey, if you're gonna do it, do it right,eh?

I've coded a Kthura Issue Scanner - This scanner will check for compatibility issues between the old and new Kthura... Most issues may be because some textures are either missing or in the old format, as of C# and C++ is no longer supported.

This program may speed up some issues I will undoubtedly encounter during the remake of Star Story and the Fairy Tale, and possibly also by the redo of Sixty-Three Fires of Lung

Next stop, the actual attack

I think that will have to do

Take XXII

But let's try this

Not the results I expected.... The results are correct....

Take XXI

Debug command not properly picked up

concern for later

Although that was what was supposed to happen

Take XX

made sure there are always enemies on the first floor in order not to spook the tutorial

Another syntax error

Take XIX

Syntax error

Take XVIII

I've written some extra debug codes in order to sort that one out

The source check on the specific SpellANI script does show that everything should be in order... But why is the centering ignored on both sides then?

FINALLY! Now I need to make sure the coordinates are in order, and that is not yet the case, but that's just fine tuning...

Take XVII

I'm getting really tired here

Take XVI

Code order

Take XV

WTF?

Take XIV

Field error... I think?

Take XIII

This error is not to be spoken about!

Take XII

Issue

Take XI

How could I forget that?
