Charge ignore

Take III

Syntax error

Take II

Grouping error

Take I for this spell

During my further test of the secret level I will get more into this

Volttsunami

Charged moves should now activate

Charge up moves should charge, however the engine will not yet respond to charged moves (it's just the required memory storage that is defined now).

As I said now I can script out the charge up moves....

Very very very good

At least I know now that Foxy's Dragon Inferno works the way it should

Idiot!

But at least this confirms that the transporter being ignored is fixed

Wrong group

I also need to note that if I'm correct I'm at the point that Wendicka can learn "Volttusnami" which is a charge up move.... The system does not support that yet, so this should (for now) cause a "miss". The actual code to make this working comes later.

Secret transporter was inoperative

I'll get into the level of the mole later

Take XI

Inferno implementation reference error

Target disappearing when they shouldn't

sped up the planet flow

Size of planet Mercury

Take X

Access to secret level 2

Take IX

Trivial error

AAARGH!

Take VIII

More of those

Take VII

Star coordinate error

Take VI

Y issue

Illegal "Each"

Take V

Broken planet loader

Take IV

Syntax error

Take III

Unknown identifiers in Ark Smash animation

Take II (that fix had nothing to do with the Ark Smash after all)

Blockmap issues in the casino

Take I

I really doubt this will work in one go, but who knows

Ark Smash

My next stop will be to animate the Ark Smash

So far so good

That is if no bugs are there of course, as this has not yet been tested

The Jerrycans on floor 012 will move just like they did in the original version

Yirl can now teach Wendicka "Follow Me" if the conditions are met

Bad Hawk linkups

Alias error

Malformed C string format in the internal Kthura map switch of Excalibur

No music on area 11 and higher

missing period

The boss on floor 10 has been scripted

True!

The boss can now be implemented

Tons of crap

Scriptout of the bridge on floor 10 of Excalibur

Many fixes as a log went wrong here

And Rachel will give you the Ark Smash when you succesfully completed Airom.

So far so good.

PostBoss Scenario didn't activate

Completion issue

Music error

Boss fight should work now

But first a little break.

Right, all's ready now to set up the boss in Airom. This boss is unique in the game as this is the only boss who can all be fought once in all cycles together. This because this boss is only a guardian for Crystal's ultimate ARM. The Ark Smash. (This will also be the only dungeon which will in all cycles that come next be unlocked from the start if you did it in an earlier cycle, although you will need to unlock the world world Phantasar first, which is (I guess) only obvious.

Return Error in "Follow Me"

Wrong class member in "Follow Me"

Panacea icon missing

Combat start = Crash!

Hmmm? Did I just have a syntax error getting these oddities?

And with this the map should work except for the boss and "prize". This however comes later.

Random encounters (this is a Phantasar mission after all)

Take II

Meta error

I will first test if everything works the way it should, before I add the random encounters

Take I

Small error spot in time

Secret passages will be hidden and shown

And the background music didn't work, which has been fixed now

The save spots have been activated

Before I script everything out, I first need to make a quick checkup if everything works properly or not!

So far, so good!

Again!

Da fuuck?

Please note, when completing Airom (which you cannot do yet, as the map is present, but it's script is not yet),the game will for now crash, as I will script obtaining the Ark Smash itself later

Rachel has been set to unlock Airom

So far... I need a break now!

All's well that ends well!

Well?

There was however a fault in the reference to the Rising Nova ARM

Yup, that part of the problem is confirmed now by the log

....

?

Rachel doesn't appear in Frendor when she should... This is what I need to sort out when I resume my actions

Fuck it more!

Right then?

WTF is going on there

Fuck it!

Well, whatever magic caused it, a void has been set up to prevent this from happening again!

WTF? Nothing could have caused a target to be a nil value

Let's see, then...

Dominance issue (cosmetic)

Blockmap issue on last door (very important)

Boss Take IX

I keep doing that! Much much longer will I torture myself with that?

the crash didn't happen again... odd

decimal issue in Neil

Boss Take VIII

Stuff is getting stranger by the minute

Boss Take VII

Non-existent barrier appears to be a problem

I don't know what happened, but I do know that it was not right!

Boss Take VI

....

CODE TYPO! Oh I hate myself for this!

Boss Take V

Extra debug item for me

Boss Take IV

Right-on

Why wasn't this parse error seen before?

Boss Take III

This way then?

FUCK YOU!

Boss Take II

Unknown identifiers in Inferno SpellAni

this is a bug in Neil, but I'll void that for now

Linking members does not really seem to work well, does it?

Identifier issue

Achievement for getting near the Rising Nova

Boss on secret level

Slow as it may be I'll test the secret area up to the boss. It's only one (optional) area after all. If I can find out what causes this slowdown to happen I'll be on it, but at the present time I got no idea at all.

Follow me

The editor also slows down at that point, by the way, so it's hard to pinpoint what's wrong here.

Other than the boss, the secret level does appear to work properly though.

The game slows down like crazy in the secret level. Which is odd. It can't be the number of objects. Frendor bushes has more objects and doesn't show this behavior.

NOW the door should open? (I hope)

Tag error

Take III

Door didn't open?

Take II

Crashes and a few more bad setups

Take I

The way to the secret passage on area 007

Let's see

Not saved?

I'll sort this out, later.

No response

Let's see

Conveyor belt in the first trash department has been scripted

Transporter issue when leaving your house

Gotta test if this all works

Wendicka's Home => Final Dungeon

Final Dungeon => Wendicka's Home

Older savegames will still show this boss if past that point. No point fixing those savegames as this is only cosmetic. In later tests I will make sure the boss does actually disappear

Removal boss actor from map after combat didn't happen

Take IV

In order to avoid conflicts I enforced a "stop walking" upon activating the boss on floor 5

Cyborg reference fault

Take III

Missing link

Take II

Fixes another "issue"

Begone!

How did that loose letter get in my code?

Local declaration error

Take I

Start up Super Cyborg

Boss start script (same for all bosses except the Goddess herself, but she has a seperate Kthura map for herself alone).

The next stop will be, the first boss... The Super Cyborg

And suddenly it just works....

Take IV

Let's add an extra line to make sure!

Fuck that! Nil value... It has a function pointer, come on!

Take III

Scope error

Take II

Something went wrong in the macro line

And that will only be this floor since the first boss is on floor 5 already

I'll test floor 4 this way.

The "Chat" system has been implemented. All 7 spots should work now.

And I'll update the github repository

Running

So far so good.... That covers most of the hard stuff, but it ain't over yet. Excalibur is a large dungeon and in the original version I really put a lot of effort in it. And I don't want that to go to waste, so I'll be busy on this place, that's for sure.

Take VI

Johnson crash in combat

Take V

I think I got it!

I need a different way to announce Johnson's return, I suppose

Take VI

And that should void/fix/whatever another crash

Alias resistance Rolf => Johnson

Take V

Tag error

Take IV
