Myrah magic bonus

Okay, true, true, and error pops up, BUT.... that error was only possible if the core stuff works, and that is already worth a lot.

Take MDCLXV

Wrong ability sent to combat interface

Pose error

Take MDCLXIV

A typo in that process

Take MDCLXIII

Missing link

Take MDCLXII

This is going to take forever. I've added an FP bonus to guarding. Something I was planning to do anyway.

Take MDCLXI

Voided it!

Take MDCLX

No act?

Take MDCLIX

Did I fix it?

Take MDCLVIII

Debug line should provide more clarity

How come?

computer lies

Take MDCLVII

Illegal function definition

Take MDCLVI

Huh?

Take MDCLV

Oops... I did see a tiny mistake. The more you see before the test, the better it is

Link to target selector

A rar tempfile entered this very devlog? I do not want that!

I've linked the ability menu to the action function which will create an action out of it, so the combat routines can handle it.

I need to attend other things first, but I'll soon be back to get the magic done.

It's okay?! Alright! I can live with that!

Take MDCLIV

Cancel spells

Take MDCLIII

Removed irrelevant (and error causing) code

Take MDCLII

Two more

Take MDCLI

Wrong class called

Take MDCL

Illegal function call

Take MDCXLIX

Object error

Take MDCXLVIII

You cannot YET select any spells though

In theory Myrah's magic menu should now pop up in combat when the player asks for it.

Combat menu linked

Take MDCXLVII

ANOTHER!

Take MDCXLVI

Another one of those

Take MDCXLV

Variable correction

Take MDCXLIV

Large unneeded part

Take MDCXLIII

I can only see if it all compiles

Workout

And I am going to enjoy the rest of the evening.

Let's run the back up

For now the game will ignore your attempts to make Myrah cast a spell. But as it's late in the evening and I am having trouble to focus now, I'll leave that for another time.

"Magic" does appear in Myrah's combat screen

Take MDCXLII

No encounters

Take MDCXLI

Fights may now be more of a test to see if magic pops up in Myrah's combat screen. There's still work to be done, though

Tutorial Myrah about magic

Another BSOD without any fucking reason at all!

Take MDCXLIV

I hate XAML

Take MDCXLIII

Syntax error

Take MDCXLII

Attacking in hover explanation now

Take MDCXLI

Did I fix this?

Take MDCXL

BULLSHIT! But why does it throw bullshit?

Take MDCXXXIX

Explanation on hover

So far... So good!

Take MDCXXXVIII

Stupidity Iaa call? Why?

Take MDCXXXVII

Illegal Points Readout

Take MDCXXXVI

Ah, I named that differently... My memory is getting bad

Take MDCXXXV

Minor mistake

Take MDCXXXIV

Now the overview SHOULD work (of course it won't but we'll see)

So far, so good!

Take MDCXXXIII

Another 404

Take MDCXXXII

I think I got it covered!

Things happen.... yet there's a 404

Take MDCXXXI

Well, no compiler errors thrown either, so let's hope a run-time test, does show the results I want.

And now it works, and as a result I can't fix anything. Cool, huh?

Take MDCXXX

The hard part is that I cannot always replicate this in the debug environment. But we'll try

Scyndi has crashed during compilation

Take MDCXXIX

There will be no visual effects, but at least I can check if stuff compiles and more importantly, if it loads.

A base setup has been done.

But things worked out too long, so it was to be expected.

Blue Screen Of Death

Some last workout

Basis friendly magic for Myrah

I've set up the basis attacking spells for Myrah

Of course, now that Myrah has obtained her mana orb I can start on her magic spells. That will also be quite some work.

Take MDCXXVIII

One more thing I need to check, though.

Stuff appears to be working now.

Take MDCXXVII

Ah, I found the error!

Chill? But how come?

All compiler errors accounted for, but now the rest

Take MDCXXVI

ANOTHER syntax error

Take MDCXXV

Missed two more

Take MDCXXIV

Syntax error x2

Take MDCXXIII

x2

Forgotten object variable

Take MDCXXII

Picking up a mana orb should work accordingly.

So far, so good!

Take MDCXXI

Required definition missing

Take MDCXX

What the hell was I thinking?

Take MDCXIX

#use Graphics

Take MDCXVIII

Scyndi syntax error

Take MDCXVII

Actual selection is not yet possible, but hovering should work

A base script to select the element for Myrah

As soon as I get back the next step will (of course) be to make Myrah able to actually pick the mana orb up and use it.

I need to get to some real life stuff first.

It appears to be working

Take MDCXVI

Alpha added to the API

No Alpha?

Take MDCXV

Did I forget to save the scenario files?

404?

Take MDCXIV

Another one

Take MDCXIII

Mssing links

Take MDCXII

Oh yeah, in the meantime Sugarland has been imported from Dyrt, but full work on that comes later.

Picking up the the mana orb does not yet fully work, but the first time you do this should trigger Myrah to talk about it, and to open the barrier blocking the next floor.

It seems I had to force my way around deprecated stuff to access older crap... Oh well...

Take MDCXI

#28

Another (already known) bug in the way. Let's take care of it, as it's really beginning to annoy the crap out of me.

Take MDCX

Missing Renc data

Take MDCIX

And not to test area 006

That works

Take MDCVIII

Traveler's emblems will also be ignored

Take MDCVII

Compass data generator can now globally ignore and I've configured it to ignore all "pass" zones

006 (untested)

Area 006

And that will be all for now!

SCI

MyData II

This very Devlog Tool

Slyvina Bank

Apollo? Oh well!

Scyndi

Kthura Updated

I may need to see if the other repos also need updating, but that is a later concern

Repository Updated

Not gonna fire up a test for that, though

Now to prevent trouble when you'd get yourself wiped out after passing floor 003, I've set the system to perform the stuff to get you through if you'd arrive here again.

I've confirmed that dead enemies can attack. Issued that as #27

And the next thing will be area 006, but that comes later

If you come alpha testing I'm sure you'll note chat you may find some nameless items. No worries. Those are items for Francis' manamental extraction and I haven't yet had the time to name them all, but I'm on it!

That appears to be working

Take MDCVI

Take MDCV

Wrong texture

That will be the save area

Area 005

While this test runs, I'll fire up the backup

Take MDCIV

I've lowered the chance you'll meet a red spook as they may be a bit too hard

Take MDCIII

A dead enemy attacking? Well, I need to sort that out later.
