Take MDCCIII

Bad boolean expression

Take MDCCII

Property typo

Take MDCCI

#30 should be fixed now

Time shortened for boss intro and random encounter intro

Take MDCC

Harsh debug

Take MDCXCIX

Time shorter boss intro?

I'll put priority on #30 for now...

#30

#29

Boss did still not disappear

Take MDCC

Trying to speak to Feenalaria WILL for now crash the game.

Final room

Boss didn't disappear when you take it on

Take MDCXCIX

Enemy attack still had to be subject to accuracy

Take MDCXCVIII

Spells should never miss

Take MDCXCVII

A change of plans needs a change of code, eh?

Take MDCXCVI

Sped up intro

AI settings were not present.

Boss invisible in combat

Take MDCXCV

GRRR!

Take MDCXCIV

Set standard enemy pose to none... I will not use negative unless I have to

Take MDCXCIII

Sped up the sequence boss intro

Bad sprintf call

Take MDCXCII

Another

Take MDCXCI

Old system vs new system conflict

AT LAST!

Take MDCXC

I think I found the motherfucker!

Take MDCLXXXIX

More debug shit

Not true is according ot Lua also true.... Yeah right

Take MDCLXXXVIII

Music played, but a crash. Will it still work, as the crash is likely before the line that is bugging everything

Take MDCLXXXVII

I really need to sort out why the music doesn't work anymore

Take MDCLXXXVI

Bad definition

Take MDCLXXXV

Perhaps I tacked that music issue

The boss intro plays, but the music does not. So we can at least safely assume that the fix on the faulty music tag killed the music routine... Now that's rich...

Take MDCLXXXIV

I need to check this out!

I really don't know what's going on here, but something is triggered.

Take MDCLXXXIII

Here goes nothing!

Linked to the start up

Well, copied into this game once again

the file for this does indeed not seem to be present.

Well, it appers that the boss intro tag is indeed a null pointer. I need to sort out why that is.

Rebooted

I think a complete reboot is required

Take MDCLXXXII

No more audio at all?

Take MDCLXXXI

Only throw that error screen on null pointers. Not always

Take MDCLXXX

Function pointer used to load music?

Take MDCLXXIX

Audio appears to be a null pointer?

So it's about a audio. The boss intro audio even?

Take MDCLXXVIII

Crash

Take MDCLXXVII

Database issue

Take MDCLXXVI

Music stop crash

Take MDCLXXV

Copied code from Neil. Should have removed the reference to Neil and replace it with Scyndi XD

Myrah should stop walking in the pre-boss scenario

Take MDCLXXIV

I keep mixing up MAPTEXT and MAPSCRIPT.....

Take MDCLXXIII

Here goes nothing!

Boss start

And now to link it to the map

Link code

So far, so good!

Take MDCLXXII

...

Take MDCLXXI

It's not yet linked or anything, so all I can do now is see if it all compiles

A Start Boss Script

Pre-boss

The next stage will be (of course) to integrate boss fights into the game.

Complete

Myrah's boss fight has now been configured

Some finishing touches

Set up an editor for the boss fight configuration

But that will be for another time.

Well, what I invented for Star Story for the repeatitive Bosses worked too good for the vital bosses there, so why not use it in a regular RPG, as well?

I will also have to adapt the encounter tool which will now also be needed to configure boss fights.

I've enabled to Foe editor to quickly access a statistician data for my analysis.

The Mana Guardian

Added tag BOSS

So far so good

Take MDCLXX

corrupted savegame?

Take MDCLXIX

Although I can test the linkthrough between floor 008 and floor 009

The boss is hear,but approaching it will (for now) crash the game.

Area 009 set up

Art for boss

Take MDCLXVIII

Declaration issue

Take MDCLXVII

Invalid file name

Take MDCLXVI

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
