Something did not entirely go the way it should, I'm afraid

Well a small test will have to do now!

Hoe diep zijn we gezonken?

How low did we go?

DIT geloof je toch niet?

You can't believe this can you?

Music linked to the city of Frendor

Sad... Isn't it!?

Some serious Issues have been found in the Phantasar font

System works???

Take III

Syntax error

Take II

A little error in setup

A few tests will have to help me on this one!

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).

Shilder system done (untested)

Wisdom!

So clear!

Asbolutely PATHETIC... Isn't it?

A few preps for the scripter, but loads of work to be done here.

So far for today.... Tomorrow is another day

I hope I fixed the issue that the boss forces the Phantasar basic combat tune over the boss

Boss

Savespots appear to work.... good

Save spots activated in Frendor Bushes

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

for now I'll focus on matters at hand...

#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

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.

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?

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)

I HOPE this has been photoshopped

And the "unexplainable crash" struck me again.... Let's see if I can extract some data this time

Take X

Directory error

Earlier fix

Take IX

I think I fixed it... I hope so....

Take VIII

Extra debug line

let's see what happens here

This cannot be....

Take VII

Leave Frendor Bushes

Declaration error

Numerbic changes

Take VI

Another syntax error

Take V

Syntax error

Dinner!

Take IV

Identifier typo

Put my food onto the heather

Take III

Too eager to remove faulty lines

Take II

Blunder!

I guess I was too fast here

But there's more....

Wrong map linked

Take I (Back to the main thing)

These are not the girls you're looking for

Take B

Code typo

Take A (take I counts for phantasar, and I will do that take again)

"These are not the girls you're looking for"

HOLD THE SHOW! Before I go to Phantasar first something else I forgot!

Take I

The moment supreme!

All linked together

And I expect disaster along the way, to be honest.... This is likely a killer process....

Nothing to see yet.... I now must link it all into the mapscript, and after the that the testing can begin

The announcement of the first encounter

The random encounters in Phantasar have been scripted... Well most of that, as there's one more thing to do!

I know it looks nothing is happening, but I'm in the middle of complex stuff, which contains little to report.

Foe level linkup (I need it for the Phantasar maps).

Metadata copy

Pinned #102

I must check later though if this won't conflict with other characters teaching Wendicka, but that's a later thing

Data in savegame is not the way I wanted to see, but that's alright... It doesn't appear to cause any bugs either, so all's well... At least for now....

As far as I can check Wendicka learning from party members works (at least from Rolf).

#130

Take III

Natural break

Syntax error

Take II

Yeah, that was a bit backlogged there

Scenario tag error

Take I

Well, I gotta put this to da test....

Wendicka can now learn "Kolme" from Rolf if Crystal has obtained the Doping Shot, and Rolf has obtained Kolme..... (Crystal having Doping Shot is after all only possible by completing the Graveyard).

BlockMap should now be in order

Fed my cat... Poor girl was hungry

Before that I will (safety pre-caution) make another backup first

Now for the "real" deal, as the new Kthura will now be put to the real test.... An actual map being used in a project

A few workouts

Take I

And the link to the blockmap viewer, oh yeah!

Linkback to the map from this screen

Blockmap shower (untested)

This can be crucial to the work-out on the Frendor Bushes, where you can get in the Phantasar Easter Egg sidequest section

Working on BlockMap overview

GELUKKIG ZIJN ER OOK NOG GOEDE EN EERVOLLE VIROLOGEN! ZE BESTAAN NOG!

ONGELOOFLIJK

A bit of an extra fix for the Hawk setting

Right a few fixups were needed

So now the risky part begins.... Wish me luck.

This should cause the launcher to start the new Kthura editor, and catch off the console output, but in the current setup I cannot test this

Start up changed

This is because my next step require me to work out things with the building script in order to test.... And when this goes wrong I still need the old Kthura.... So that is why

To make sure I can still use the old Kthura while the new is not fully done, I've placed a temporary copy of the old Kthura

Nearly ready for the great merge

Let's see!

Zone placement

Zone Draw function

Not yet as idiot as the authorities, though!

Idiocy

Complete Belioss

Blockmap issue

Well, will this work?

Boss

Before I can get set to work I'll first work out the boss fight

I've set up the blockmap

SPOOFS!

Some people can bring this up so wonderfully!

Almost there, but still a lot to do!

More stuff's done now!

Well, let's see how things go next

Summon Cultist

And another test

Check formula

Boss

That means I can focus on the boss fight now

Stuff appears to be working now

And let's resume the testing!

Eating....

Right.... How many more are required?

GRRR!

AGAIN!

case error (due to a direct call to a Lua method)

Well, this is gonna gimme nightmares... I think

Script Illegal call

Labels work now

Part of the labelling done in C++

Important!

I see that I did some tricks indeed on the cultists.... I really forgot about that thing... Cultists can appear in both male and female form, and the computer picks them at random.... I must see how to cover that one best.....

Switching between Belioss and the Graveyard should no longer be an issue

For the new Kthura it will just mean commas will be filtered out whenever you type them in tags

For some reasons the system fails whenever commas are encountered in tag names, however no odd code about commas is found so I really do not understand what the fuck is happening here.

And now a statement towards some unacceptable policies!

In-Window shelling in WPF(C#).... The Kthura Launcher will need this with the current C++ editor being attached soon....

Well?

The OTHER way, around, IDIOT!

Well?

Secret issue?

Reloc worked

Some work done here

Let's see

A cheat to fix this

Leftover from map adaptations

Aha!

Why did the player sprite get hidden (while I never asked the system to do this)?

This should make things ready to prepare for the secret dungeon

Show/Hide the secret areas

Metadata editor completed

Imbecile

I do not know if this speeds things up, but I've made a random interval in which enemies recalculate the levels between you and themselves.

Meta Data Edit done for a part.... The map does not yet get modified, though

Data cannot be edited yet!

Set up for Meta Data

established

I forgot to link some zones to the mapscript

I will test this first... especially since this involves one of Crystal's ARMS.

Blockmap area 006

If you wanna keep track

My overview

Or Pull request page

Taking more and more shape

The save routine in the new Kthura is almost done, which is good, isn't it? With that one of the most crucial features before the new editor can definitely be put into use is present. There are more important features though, that must be worked out and be tested before the grand merge, and I think a planboard is now definitely needed

appears to be working, yay!

Small test

Computer activated

Blockmap for the first part of Belioss up to the hut where the savespot van be found (using it will (for now) crash the game).

Cannot yet save, and more things are to be done

More updates.... The first things in the map can be done

Map will be drawn in the new editor, but no visual effects yet

See ya later!

The C++ version of Kthura is almost ready to make the first actual map adaptions possible.... WOOOHOOO excitement :P

That's for tomorrow though.... I need some rest

I need to set the blockmap.... Forest location.... Hee hee... How could I forget....

"Taunt" was removed... The move is next to impossible to transfer well in the new system, and in the original it's use already was too obscure.... I will try to see if I can replace it with something better, but no promises yet!

Ah, I need to script Yirl's "Taunt" move

Well,let's go for it, then!

I should be able to test all this up to the point where there space spot is....
