Take XVIII

A proper error message will have to tell me how this can happen

NaN definition

Take XVII

Illegal instance call

Take XVI

Quick usage index error

Take XV

Quotation error..... Lua may not see the difference between " and ', but Neil does (and pretty much tries to handle them the same way C does... well.. almost).

Unknown identifiers

Take XIV

Updated

A nice list of errors, but since they were only possible due to reading the Goddess subscript I do now know the script is at least loaded

Take XIII

Idiot! When you check on upper you must also type in caps lock....

The logs confirm my suspicion

Clearly that script isn't run, however at least the battle starts up, that counts for something already

Take XII

Extra debug stuff must help me on that one

I also got the strong feeling that the Goddess script ain't being run

I need to save before I run the test

Take XI

I think I found the bugger

Multiple goddesses and adds that SHRINK?

Take X

Syntax error

Take IX

And a few adaptions to the offending item...

Catacher done

Aha.... A NAN.... Not quite sure how a NAN could come to be, but the system will now properly catch it and convert NANs to 0

Take VII

Sleep overwhelmed me... so let's do that again!

Take VII

Let's add an extra debug line

And why up to foe 13? Only 6 addons where allowed... not over 10 (even in the hard mode 13 was never allowed).

FUCK YOU!

Take VI

???

Take V

Reference error

Take IV

Illegal function call

Take III

Forward issue

Take II

Code Typo

Take I

Goddess stats based on yours

Hold the show.... I found something I already suspected

And now the testing can finally begin?

And initiating the boss fight is now done

This script will also end the battle once the combat reaches 1 HP... This is a kind of safety measure to bypass the normal fight end. That makes more sense given the final boss status, and is easier to go due to the invulnerability of the drones circling around her.

I've set up the script that will make the drones circle around the goddess

Let's see now!

One more adjustment

Almost there

Well, before we get onto the boss itself one more test (at least, I hope it'll be only one).

A few internal fixes

Issued as TrickyGameTools/Kthura#72

That is a bug in Kthura

Layer issue when layers are renamed

Coordinate fix on Wendicka's position

Post-Boss Script

Pre-Boss All set up

Let's see!

Pre-Goddess fight

Junk

Converted that to JFBF

Electrica Salsa font by WoodCutter

Checked "Spellbound", the song which will (just like in the original game) be used for the final battle

Take II

Yeah, it was really THAT trivial, but it does require more takes....

. that shouldn't be there

Nope.... That's was too much to ask for!

(and I hope this time the only take I need)

I

Examine dead admiral

Void succesful

Take VI

Another! It simply MUST go wrong, eh?

Take V

Syntax error

Take IV

You can't fix what ain't broken, but let's see if this voids the issue???

Crash? That cannot be!

Take III

Code typo

Take II

Tag error

Let's see

From here it should only be the final boss, but I gotta test this all first

Talk to corpse

Last meeting with an admiral

Take III

Did I fix that?

WTF? Doors moment instant in stead of sliding?

Another one then

File misnamed, therefore ignored

I see!

Let's see

Nothing happens

Let's see

Sliding doors in final part shoul work now

Tomorrow I'll get to manipulating the doors, the last even before meeting the final boss, and who knows perhaps I can even get some pre-work done for the boss fight itself.

The boss itself is a complicated one (code wise), but doable... question is if time will be on my side to truly get things done.

Go to the room where the final boss is waiting for you (the point of no return)

Well in order to punish myself for that stupid move, I made myself listen a full hour to that "you are an idiot" song!

Really that was beyond stupid!

And here I end this session for today. The preparations for the final boss are the next stop

All in order!

Take XIV

A few more look ups

Take XIII

FUck it!

Take XII

Stat misreferences

This one is for myself

Still no good?

Take XI

And (just like in the original game) buffed stats will be green and debuffed stats will be red in the status menu

I think I got the little bugger

But stuff is still not in order... The stat ups do not appear to take place...

All compiling errors accounted or

(Slowly getting there... Be patient my friends).

Take X

Missing return statement

Take IX

Syntax error

Take VIII

Scope error

Take VII

Take VI

Ability misreferrence

CRAP!

Take V

I hope

Jeroen, je bent een piemel!

Savegame data

It goes wrong on checking if floor 16 of Excalibur has been unlocked or not.... hmmm

Take IV

OPLETTEN!

Take III

Let's see then

Why?

Crystal does NOT teach "Sisters in all but blood"

Take II

Group error in teaching

Take I

I must note that I must check both obtaining and using this move.... This can take some time to do well

It should be noted that this move only works if both Wendicka and Crystal are up front (since only Wendicka can peform it, so she needed to be up front anyway, I only needed to check for Crystal).

Sisters in all but blood

So far everything appears to be working!

Take III

?

?

Take II

Library order issue

Let's check this out! - Test I

Recover spots will always remove all buffs and debuffs

The manner in how this happen is *of course* dependent on the chosen difficulty setting

This will SLOWLY cause buffs and debuffs to expire

Party.AutoBuffExpire()

Auto buff expire

Announcement stat up

From here I can fully work out the buff code

At last! It works!

Take V

Another round of the barf-script

Take IV (I didn't want to number them, but it seems we're going into that direction now).

NOW we got a real issue to fix.... A syntax mistake in the glue code

FUCK IT!

Code typos

Again!

GRRR!

Quick test

After that I will check if the character tag lister works the way it should

Preparing my lunch

I will have to run the tests later though, so something came in between.....

Tag overview in debug system

BARF = Build Apollo Resource File (what else did you think?)

That's just a matter of barf-ing anew

A small mistake in the glue code

Time to compile all this

That should link it all together

Which I wrote for the RPG APIs in pure Lua due to the complexity of the used Meta Tables

API Glue Script

All chars listout

A few adaptions here needed

Buffing itself works now, but I do need to set a few more things in order (or this would all be too easy)

vUpdates were falling behind? Oh, crap!

(Yeah, they won't have me on that one, again... I hope)

Adapted Item linkup script for buffing

Now Crystal's ARMS would always miss

Start to support buffing

Once again did the system just reset (for updates) without my consent.

I may be a Windows user (by lack of less terrible option at this moment), but my computer is still mine, not Microsoft's!

As this will get me into more complex stuff I'll save that for tomorrow.... The buffs and debuffs can be quite bothersome to code well....

I do need to script out this movem but for that I also need the buff moves to be working properly

Crystal will teach you "Sisters in all but blood" if Wendicka has Voltsunami and all abilities her comrades can teach her, if McLeen has been defeated and if Crystal has obtained the Ark Smash

very irritating, as it really undermines many safety issues

Lua destructor bug

I'll for now bypass the randomizer in Foxy teaching, as otherwise this test will take forever!
