Wanted: Serialize

BSOD

Take CCXXIX

SGJCR

Take CCXXVIII

PSaveGame (with the P for Perform)

Later!

But I now got other things that require my immediate attention

Next stop wil be a few savegame workouts

Take CCXXVII

Self

Take CCXXVI

Linked to the library

Yup

Let's check

Music is an external library. However there should be a similar library for Scyndi

Let's look up where to go for this

Music is the obstacle

Take CCXXV

gv replaced by current InterVar references

All PartyPop compiler trouble appears to be accounted for, now to have a look at a gv, but that'll be easy.

Take CCXXIV

Self

Take CCXXIII

= -> :=

Take CCXXII

RPG2Stat

Take CCXXI

Party Pop Conversion

Next stop: Party Pop

Take CCXX

Macros replaced by Externs

Take CCXIX

JCR6

Take CCXVIII

Linkup to crap

Take CCXVII

Apollo -> SCI

Take CCXVI

Another (sigh... again)

Take CCXV

Self (sigh)

Take CCXIV

Another conversion

Take CCXIII

Create -> Self.Create

Take CCXII

Also needed an adaption

That should link it all

Glue script

API for SCI

TagList to vector

Take CCXI

missing links

Take CCX

Neil -> Scyndi: CrystalARM

So be back soon!

A quick study shows that this should not be that much of an issue, but I will still take a break first.

I guess this will mean some searching needs to be done

CrystalARMS

Take CCIX

InterVar

Take CCVIII

Intervar convert

So far so good!

Take CCVII

Fucking around

Take CCVI

Several minor fixes

Take CCV

Neil -> Scyndi: BoxText Link up

Some issues in Star Story II

Well, BoxText is responsible (as the name of the system implies) for the textboxes used to bring you the scenario.
Since this requires me to get into a completely new section of the game, this could be a nice moment to call it a day.

Now the system wants me to take care of BoxText

Take CCIV

Kthura reference missing

Take CCIII

var not allowed in function parameters

Take CCII

Method trouble

Take CCI

Vies, bah!

Take CC

Mini Message

A few checkups, and these checkups do show me the stuff I wanted to see... Good!

Take CXCIX

Syntax error

Take CXCVIII

???

Take CXCVII

Another

Take CXCVI

Code typo

That appears to work

Take CXCV

Scyndi has been set up to have all lDef and dDef functions as pLua (which they strictly speaking are)

Take CXCIV

Trouble

Take CXCIII

Conversions State -> Sys

Take CXCII

Sys

Warning (due to LocExtern not yet being adapted to DDef and LDef)

Take CXCI

Code typo

Take CXC

Syntax error

Take CLXXXIX

Whine

Take CLXXXVIII

Parts of it WILL still throw an error when called by the game. This is a safety precaution. This way the link up script will at least compile, and I can save the complex stuff of later when it actually NEEDS to be called.

Item link up script now adapted to GINIE

Export to GINIE and to the data folder

Right, I guess the IAA (Item, Ability, Action) database comes next.

Take CLXXXVII

Well then

#use line gone?

Da fuck!?

Take CLXXXVI

Code copy issue

Take CLXXXV

Temp module linked to FlowField

Preps for conversion

Config jEdit

What I see is actually quite encouraging.

Stat data

I do have some ideas for this conversion, though, however these WILL be complicated, so I need a break first.

And now we're getting to RPG Char, which is gonna be a nasty one, as I also need to communicate with Statistician here.

Take CLXXXIV

Sys

Take CLXXXIII

More adaptions and hopefully I can debug some more

Take CLXXXII

More adaptions

It is getting annoying but Scyndi now crashes randomly.

Take CLXXXI

And link modules included

Some more void work

And suddenly Scyndi resumes to crash

Take CLXXX

More workout

jEdit sheet adepted

Seems to work too, judging by the errors I now get (they don't fall over := anymore, at least)

Take CLXXIX

And without any kind of logic it appears to work without crashing.

Take CLXXVIII

Debug line added

Take CLXXVII

Scyndi crashed

Take CLXXVI

Caps was already there, but let's #use the Anyway bundle

I've added a little trick in Scyndi which could at least make my life easier in voiding that bug, and partially I had this feature in mind anyway.

And now the system wants me to do the Caps module.

This module has been set up to make sure all level caps, money caps and all that kind of capped crap is taken in correct order. So it is a pretty important one to work.

Take CLXXV

An antother

Take CLXXIV

Another

Take CLXXIII

I've taken a quick study to Scyndi integrity in order to see if this issue can be fixed. Too bad, the way Scyndi has been set up will require me to rewrite the entire compiler from scratch and that's not what I'm planning to do. There may be a few ways around it, though, but I cannot give much hope here.

Declaration bug

Take CLXXII

Old vs new conflict

Take CLXXI

More workout on the automation routine and perhaps that will make the action in C++ not needed. We'll see.

Take CLXX

Scyndi's declaration + definition bug

The new function does at least not appear to throw me any trouble (so far)

Take CLXIX

And yeah, I will also make this tool able to compile the Kthura maps

I am considering to write an external tool to get the clickables done, though, similar to what I did for Luna's father. During the production of Luna's father I noticed this WILL not only enhance the loading speeds, but it also makes debugging a lot easier.

I did write a new Spot method, the old one still exists but will throw an error.

My terminal application crashed completely

I've set up a replacement for the Spot function. The old one is still there, but will always throw an error. This will help me to get things in order more properly.

A faulty function (due to difference in the approach of Kthura) has at least been rendered off trouble with the compiler, but a more structural approach will likely be needed.

Take CLXVIII

...

Take CLXVII

Some more adaptions, but a few strokes of evil are lying on my way, I'm afraid.

Take CLXVI

Audio mod link required

Take CLXV

Take CLXIV

Return was needed in Neil and forbidden in Scyndi.

Take CLXIII

For this instance the constructor itself only contained a debug welcoming message, so I could dummy it all.

Scyndi has no support for static constructors. I really should think about if this feature is really needed, but that's a later concern

Take CLXII

I know this is boring not really informative, but I can't put it any better

More adaptions

Take CLXI

And contrary to the predecessors in Scyndi Arrays start at 0 (as they should)

Convert

Take CLX

No # for len in Scyndi

I got the file involved, but here things can get a bit complicated, as this is also where the communication with Kthura takes place, and that API is in SCI completely different than it was in Apollo, so WISH ME LUCK!

FldMap is the next problem

Take CLIX

More

Take CLVIII

Convert

Take CLVII
