Requires another script generation... A smaller one this time, though

Broken IAA record

And the spellani is also called even after rejection.... That should not happen

Something went wrong with the SpellAni linkup

Take XIX

Something I should not have forgotten, but you know how some things go, eh?

Linkup issue in items linker

Take XVIII

Well what should be and what is are often two different things, and hardly related at all, so I gotta test stuff out now,eh?

And that should link everything together ready to resume the testing

General healing effect

An updata on MyData that might be years overdue (oops)

And fixed a few bugs that were in the original code, which were only a minor thing in Dyrt, but would be really terrible for Star Story

I've copied the "glitter" effect from Dyrt and adapted the code a little

Yikes.... What was my original engine a primitive one.... Having a separate spellani for group and single healing, why with my current technology that is no longer needed.... Well, I think I know a way to cover this... It's dirty, but it saves me the trouble to go through all records one by one

All I can check now is if the game doesn't crash on that particular thing.... The items I got now are still a bit dependent on a non-existent SpellAni script, so I guess I need to cover that first

An item should now be taken away from you if you use one

The game will (for safety reason) still crash, as there are still a few important things to be done, but the basis works now, which is good... right?

No longer needed debug lines

that works

Take XVII

Code typo

Take XVI

I think

Take XV

What I did see though is that the hovering does always return false when used on the heroes... Even on briggs, yet why he still seems targetable and the girls appear not is still beyond me

No icon for Guard

Take XIV

C-String issue

Take XIII

GRRR!

Take XII

I've added an extra debug line that must gimme a few answers

But the question is still how come that Wendicka and Crystal are not being targeted

Indiscriminate error

Take XI

Does it work now?

Fix ignored

Take X

I think I fixed that target issue... well part of it, as it appears that both Wendicka and Crystal are untargetable from the start... but why

TAKE IX

Guard - Will always miss for now, but that will make it easier not to let Briggs to be in my way

I could select the enemy and Briggs, but not Wendicka and not Crystal... WTF is going on here?

Take VIII

Prefix issue?

Take VII

Did I fix the argumentation?

Take VI

Linkup elsewhere faulty

Cancel feature did not properly link back to the combat

Take V

?

AARGH!

Take IV

Well?

Take II

CRAP!

To work or not to work... that's the question

Take I

I've linked everything together now

Although I think this is better

This should affect both items and abilities, but the latter cannot yet be checked

Cancel function

I did check out a few things

Sometimes MAGA idiots know how to amuse the MAGA opposers :P

Come one, this is just funny :P

It works the way it has to work for now, but there is still a lot of work to be done here.... :-/

Take VI

AH!

Take V

What is happening here?

Take IV

Syntax error in Field Menu script

Take III

Identifier issue

Take II

Scope error

Take I

Since there's no link back, calling for items basically ends the game for now, but still I can test stuff out, and that is what I will do

The link to the selector has been made already, and should even work, however there is still a lot to be done.

Scripted the functions that can be used to link the item selector to the combat flow

Some unexpected stuff came in my way today, so I couldn't do as much as I planned

Set up for usage of items, ARMS and abilities in combat.... This setup will aslo help in switching party members

LOL

We'll see I guess...

I think either items or abilities should be next

Color changes on combatant actors due to "hurt" messages should not happen

It works

Take V

???

And that brings us to

Test IV

No "Cast" for Briggs

Take III

Missing underscores

Take II

Dupe declaration

Let's see if that works the way it should, eh?

Linked to the combat menu

Reload

Reload effect

Of course!

Syntax error

Another quick test!

And as in the original game, the ammo does NOT reset in the hard mode

This does NOT count for Crystal's ARMS, only for the hand weapons that replace regular attacks

Ammo reset at the start of each battle

Close, but no cigar.... not yet!

Let's see now!

It actually appears that the not going down of ammo wasn't the result of a yet unscripted part, but of a bug... Congratulations, Jeroen!

I think the next stop will be bullet subtraction and reloading

Right!

And let's see how things turn out now, eh?

#68 Defense stat was not properly compiled... It should be now

Thanks to an issue in the Neil syntax when it comes to numbers as .1212 (the 0 must always come first in Neil... Not sure what to do to fix this).

#68 - Indeed the damage done was indeed way too high

A table for storing status change data

time for a break

AT LAST!

Well?

And that should also fix the enemies that do not always appear even when they should

Case issue in Kthura for C++

more debug

WTF is going on here?

Well?

Let's narrow things down a bit

And how about now?

GRRR!

Let's see

I've set an "Always" field to enemies on the field guaranteeing they always appear. This is in order to make sure the enemy tutorial doesn't go off in an empty room, which would be quite ludicrous

Monster should also disappear from the map after defeat

Almost there.

Take III

The error does however confirm that the main issue appears to be fixed, but I gotta test more to make sure!

Old code typo...

Take II

Scope issue

Take I

And should fix this issue

This has been don enow

Enemy freeze examined... Yes, I didn't yet completely work out the conflict prevention routine....

Okay, that's in order for now... The next challenge will be why all enemies deactivate after combat as that is really puzzling me, but it's time to have break now... Be back soon

Take VI

speed and y coordinate reconfigured

Level number didn't increase

Take V (I forgot to mentio take IV)

angle fix?

Experience bar must reset after leveling up

Anyway, it's fixed now!

WTF? How did that tag get like that?

Take III

Scope error

Take II

Declaration issue

Take I

Level Up has been implemented for the front row

I am first gonna see if I can make Wendicka and Crystal actually gain levels

#70 - Later concern, but I must sort it out!

Better

Take X

Let's try this

Not quite

Take IX

Let's see what happens now then?

Does a bit batter on the rotation, but there is some question about the hotspot I think

Take VIII

Sped up "You win" animation

I see rotation is still a bit of an issue

Extra property

Take VII

Normally not possible in Neil, but the linkup with C++ can something cause this to happen

Case error

Take VI

Error in Apollo Glue code

Error in boolean expression checking victory

Take V

Bad boolean expression

Take IV

Yawn

Take III

Huh?

Take II

Voided that! (This is Microsoft's failure not mine, so I refuse to speak of a fix)

This is what I hate about MS-DOS and systems derived of it..... backslashes where slashes should have been used in stead!

In the meantime I can prepare for take I, though

And put some snert on in my kitchen in order to eat

Taken a break

Linked

The Victory Screen has been scripted

For starters recompiling Apollo

But before that a lot needs to be done first

No telling if it works,yet, but the upcoming tests will tell... Likely

Glue code

Well yeah, I did have to prepare Apollo for that.... Not fully there yet!
