8:20	TEST	Take I
8:15	LINK	Link back to the map from second part of the facility
8:12	LINK	Facility lab to next floor
8:11	LINK	Facility lab to previous floor
0:39	BUG	#133
0:32	NOTE	Not fully sure if the modifier picks them up accordingly though
0:31	ENHANCEMENT	Hovering the mouse over them shows their tag
0:31	KTHURA	Exit markers appear now
- = 18 Apr 2021 = -
23:21	TEST	No crashes popped up, in Kthura... Makes me expect none in Apollo either....
23:19	KTHURA	I will need this in the Kthura engine (to prevent tons of crashes over non-existent custom pivots)
23:18	TECHNO	Invoke will just call the method of a class or group, if is exists, and ignore it if it doesn't. Furthermore, it it is a member of the class but it's not a method (properties won't count either), the request is also ignored.
23:17	LUA	Invoke feature added to classes in Neil (I hope this works)
22:37	FIXED	A few more fixes
22:31	COSMETIC	Cam position
22:22	FIXED	Sigh!
14:50	MAPSCRIPT	Diablo
13:52	SPELLANI	Moo
13:12	OFFTOPIC	This is post number 8000 - Dang that always goes TOO FAST!
13:12	ANALYSIS	Yup, I did indeed forget something important (which was not what got me now, thanks to Wendicka's Killer Blow ability, but which will surely get me in future tests).
13:10	VOID	Parameter issue
13:06	TEST	Time to run the test.... Take I
12:45	DONE	And I had to feed myself as well.... Damn good eggies!
12:45	DONE	Kitty has her food now
12:16	TODO	Before I start testing, I'm gonna feed Kitty (my cat).
12:15	NOTE	Diablo will for now ignore you, as scripting him is a later concern
12:15	MAPSCRIPT	And once all cows have been killed Diablo should appear
12:15	MAPSCRIPT	Cows should work now!
9:55	MAPSCRIPT	Count the cows
8:43	GO	So the GO language can from this point only do one thing... which is to GO away!
8:42	FAILURE	All documentation considered, it's clear that there's no good alternative for GOPATH, except for moving all my Go modules to the place where I DON'T WANT THEM TO BE UNDER ANY CONDITION!!
- = 17 Apr 2021 = -
22:58	COSMETIC	Dominance fix
22:45	NOTE	Perhaps I need to work out the Apollo CLI engine after all... Crappy idiots!
22:44	FAILURE	For some reason Google saw fit to remove one of the few features that were great about Go! So much fo Go, then!
22:15	GO	Data generator for the Jukebox has been transferred and adapted
22:12	FIXED	Trouble with the background music
22:01	FIXED	Diablo misreferrence
22:01	FIXED	That does indeed fix all trouble
21:45	EXPERIMENT	What will happen if I do this?
21:34	DEBUG	Let's see
21:34	HUH	Impossible bug
20:42	FIXED	Code Typo
20:38	TEST	A small test is easy, at this point
20:37	DONE	Start-up Marlon's Garden
18:36	KTHURA	Fixed Tag overview issue
18:36	MAP	BlockMap Marlon's garden
18:25	C#	That's the launcher part, that is
18:25	KTHURA	Scroll bar to the console output textbox
18:22	VERIFIED	Both tunes for Marlon's Garden are present
16:05	MAPSCRIPT	Quit save block - Marlon's House
16:05	MAPSCRIPT	Quit save block - Space Port
13:47	CONFIRMED	Okay, the quit save block appears to be working! Yay!
13:44	TEST	Another go then!
13:27	BUG	I see I forgot to script the exit of Frendor, I also need to take care of that....
13:27	FIXED	I guess that didn't work so well
13:24	CONFIRMED	Well, quit saving in general works, but how about the place where it's blocked... Let's go!
13:21	TEST	A few tests will have to sort this out....
13:19	DONE	In the Hawk, quit saving should be blocked, but in none of the other maps
12:56	CONFIRMED	Wijze mensen bestaan dus TOCH?
12:32	NOTE	However as no mapscripts have yet been set up for this, this will likely not yet have effect
12:32	SCRIPT	Quit feature should now respond
12:28	NOTE	No visual effect comes from this yet!
12:27	SCRIPT	"Allow Quit Save" property
11:44	NOTE	Still a lot in that department, though, but that is a later concern
11:44	KTHURA	Scripting engine has been set up in the basics
- = 16 Apr 2021 = -
19:47	BACKUP	Well, starting the backup isn't too taxing
15:13	STATUS	Before all that I've also decided to take a day off... I've been working a lot on this game now, and I reckon it's beginning to kill me... Of course, it keeps me busy during this (idiotic) lockdown, but I must also put my mind on other things, as well....
15:11	STATUS	My first step in the development of Star Story at this point will be Marlon's Garden.... Which is a bit unlike any other dungeon of the game. After that I will get the Slagimon Forest on Phantasar done, and then the 2nd part of the Facility and so on... Seems a bit illogical, but this way, I can keep myself a bit clear.
15:06	UPDATED	#1
0:08	TEST	Well?
0:08	COSMETIC	A few sound things with the Merya easter egg event
0:02	FIXED	Several fixes
- = 15 Apr 2021 = -
23:45	SCRIPT	Buying stuff SHOULD work now!
23:04	NOTE	I really should seek a different approach in TFT, that's for sure
23:04	FIXED	Type issue in linkup code
22:54	COSMETIC	Color fix
22:48	DONE	Description on hovering
22:41	FIXED	Crash on item pickup in the Phantasar Shop
22:39	FIXED	Correction
22:26	SCRIPT	The stock should be visible..... However buying is not yet possible
22:17	DATABASE	Adaptions needed for the store
21:49	CONFIRMED	SO FAR, SO GOOD!
21:39	TEST	Take III
21:39	FIXED	Illegal instance call
21:35	CHECKED	Price calculation
20:31	TEST	Take II
20:31	FIXED	Identifier error
20:17	TEST	Take I
20:14	NOTE	Once more all you will see is a blank panel, but at least I can start testing if the entire link up works!
20:12	LINK	This links everything together
20:12	MAPSCRIPT	Merchant activated
20:04	NOTE	For now the merchant will just show a blank panel.... The store code will be added later, I need to know if this works in general.
20:03	LINK	Linked to the field menu
20:03	NOTE	The "Apple" will always be in there, regardless if you found one or not.... First of all, the chance of not having an apple is very unlikely when you reach Frendor, but even if you missed it, it's the weakest item here, so not much harm in this. Second, and more importantly, this can prevent an empty stock, which I wanna prevent, as this is bound to get me a lot of false bug reports.
19:46	SCRIPT	I've set up the updater for the Phantasar Stock. Each item you either have in your inventory or in the vault on the moment you activate the merchant the stock will be updated
15:20	JUDGMENT	Better, but not yet perfect
14:27	TEST	Well, let's see how stuff goes now, eh?
14:23	FIXED	Colors of "colorbar" screen were still black, turning it invisible... Now it should be shown in full colors
14:21	FIXED	Does rotating Reggie work now?
14:21	FIXED	Reggie silhouette... I needed Reggie normally
14:20	BUG	Not quite there yet, I see
13:55	FIXED	Bad boolean formula
13:46	TEST	I hope this all works.... PROPERLY!
13:36	FIXED	Forgotten group
13:30	FIXED	Well, that should do it!
13:18	FUCKYOU	And let's show this again... To make sure, nobody can complain about the protest post covering this one up, anymore
13:16	BUG	Oh, wait a minute, I think I forgot something important!
13:16	NOTE	This will show a very odd easter egg, and I hope it'll work properly
13:16	MAPSCRIPT	Merya
11:16	FIXED	Should be done now
11:01	NOTE	I really must take care of the dominance issue.... :-/
10:49	CONFIRMED	So far, so good!
10:42	TEST	Take I
10:34	MAPSCRIPT	Feenalaria pre-ghosthouse
- = 14 Apr 2021 = -
13:45	CONFIRMED	YAY! That all works!
13:39	TEST	Take IV
13:39	FIXED	Reggie object had to be invisible when not in use
13:38	FIXED	Scenario auto error, after Wendicka and crew learned to speak the common language of Phantasar
13:33	TEST	Take III
13:03	STUPIDITY	Forgot to unpop
11:59	FIXED	Code typo
11:59	STATUS	Something came in between, but the test is now performed
8:47	TEST	Take I
8:47	STATUS	That's better
7:25	STATUS	I am a bit tired stilll (out of bed too early it seems), so I need a little break now.. But I'll get to test all this soon....
7:24	MAPSCRIPT	Rosetta
- = 13 Apr 2021 = -
23:58	STATUS	That leaves all but Rosetta
23:58	NOTE	Merchant scripted... That is the version of her you cannot understand because she too speaks the common language of Phantasar which Wendicka and friends do not understand.
23:50	FIXED	No dupe removals, please!
23:49	CONFIRMED	Merya reacts properly
23:36	STATUS	It's all part o fthe process
23:35	FIXED	Illegal group call
22:03	CONFIRMED	That works!
21:23	NOTE	This font is used in the Phantasar mission to indicate the Phantasar language is spoken but now understood due to Rosetta's language spell.
21:22	TRANSFER	Coolvetica font
18:29	STATUS	Before I get onto the others, I see a font file missng....
18:28	CONFIRMED	Very good, Rachel ain't there, since I don't have all ARMS yet
18:21	FIXED	RPG List check error
18:05	FIXED	Debug version conflict
18:00	MAPSCRIPT	Rachel will not be present if Crystal doesn't have all ARMS (except her final one)
17:41	FIXED	I think something went wrong here... Let's try this again, shall we?
17:37	MAPSCRIPT	I've made sure Rachel can react to you before you've been taught to speak the language of Phantasar
17:36	CONFIRMED	All's well!
15:04	TEST	Take II
15:03	FIXED	Syntax mistake
14:53	TEST	Let's see
14:23	MAPSCRIPT	For that I wrote a few extra functions, but they will serve to make the rest of the NPCs quicker coded, as most of them are just saying something silly anyway (as usual in RPG towns).
14:22	MAPSCRIPT	Irravonia
13:33	STATUS	the next step will be to get the entire town up and running, which is gonna be one hell of a job, folks.....
13:33	CONFIRMED	This works!
13:29	TEST	Another test!
13:01	FAILURE	Answer: No!
13:01	FIXED	Fixed it!
12:40	STUPIDITY	Just what I thought
12:26	BUG	Something did not entirely go the way it should, I'm afraid
12:20	TEST	Well a small test will have to do now!
12:03	FAILURE	Hoe diep zijn we gezonken? How low did we go? DIT geloof je toch niet? You can't believe this can you?
12:02	LINK	Music linked to the city of Frendor
7:46	FAILURE	Sad... Isn't it!?
- = 12 Apr 2021 = -
20:21	NOTE	Some serious Issues have been found in the Phantasar font
19:58	STATUS	System works???
19:28	TEST	Take III
19:28	FIXED	Syntax error
19:15	TEST	Take II
19:15	FIXED	A little error in setup
19:11	TEST	A few tests will have to help me on this one!
19:11	NOTE	I can only HOPE this will work, properly, since a lot of different files had to be changed for this (hard to believe, I know, but true, nonetheless).
18:54	SCRIPT	Shilder system done (untested)
18:25	NOTE	Wisdom!
15:13	FAILURE	So clear!
14:06	FAILURE	Asbolutely PATHETIC... Isn't it?
11:47	KTHURA	A few preps for the scripter, but loads of work to be done here.
1:18	STATUS	So far for today.... Tomorrow is another day
1:00	FIXED	I hope I fixed the issue that the boss forces the Phantasar basic combat tune over the boss
0:37	REMINDER	#132
0:33	MAPSCRIPT	Boss
- = 11 Apr 2021 = -
22:33	CONFIRMED	Savespots appear to work.... good
21:44	MAPSCRIPT	Save spots activated in Frendor Bushes
11:04	STATUS	In the Kthura editor, a start should be made with making the scripting engine, and in the game to activate the save spots... Of course, like all Sundays time is not on my hand today
11:04	STATUS	for now I'll focus on matters at hand...
10:32	NOTE	#131 - More of a note about this mystery, than a serious bug issue... But if it happens during open alpha/beta testing I can at least make my testers know, it's a known issue
10:07	EXPERIMENT	I've dummied the line in question... I really hope that voids the issue... The line in question was a debug line anyway, and on the bright side a "CSayF" line, which means it would be ignored in the final version anyway.
10:05	INVESTIGATION	Seeing that it's the c-string converter, I guess it's the destructor in the action class that is to blame... Apparantly Lua is already flushing data before calling the destructor?
8:24	EXPERIMENT	I've been altering the script a bit... It appears the mysterious crash is caused by a certain line #139 in one of the three class files of the combat routine... (at least so far the C++ traceback shows me)
- = 10 Apr 2021 = -
23:47	OFFTOPIC	I *HOPE* this has been photoshopped
23:44	FAILURE	And the "unexplainable crash" struck me again.... Let's see if I can extract some data this time
23:24	TEST	Take X
23:24	FIXED	Directory error
23:23	CONFIRMED	Earlier fix
23:05	TEST	Take IX
23:05	FIXED	I think I fixed it... I hope so....
23:01	TEST	Take VIII
23:01	DEBUG	Extra debug line
23:00	INVESTIGATION	let's see what happens here
23:00	HUH	This cannot be....
22:51	TEST	Take VII
22:51	MAPSCRIPT	Leave Frendor Bushes
22:04	FIXED	Declaration error
22:04	CONFIG	Numerbic changes
21:59	TEST	Take VI
21:17	FIXED	Another syntax error
