Missing link

Take DCIX

Some extra debug log data will have to tell me wtf is happening here

For some silly reason, the game still goes for the faulty data

During this take I could only make the new savegames that will have to provide me the info I need.

Take DCVIII

Now that specific savegame is busted, so it can best be destroyed, but let's first get some things done, shall we?

I've done a bit of fixing, or rather voiding... You can't fix what ain't broken and what was PUC-RIO's fault in the first place.

I think I found the bugger. The system counts the removal of the player as a "PermaKill" which shouldn't happen. This has always been a bit of an issue, due to Lua not being able to send booleans through C/C++ APIs.... Highly frustrating. But at least the bugger has been found.

Take DCVII

Well?

Take DCVI

Still in the dark, but new debug data confirms that the actor has indeed disappeared

Take DCV

No haste work in debugging, Jeroen

Take DCIV

Fuck that!

Take DCIII

No player? Why?

Take DCII

Another?????

Take DCI

Voided?

Stubborn, eh?

Take DC

Another?

Take DXCIX

Should be fixed now

Take DXCVIII

Before I fix that, forst I need to get a few other things in order for later occurances of this mess

Now a different kind of bug reveals that the compass routine is to blame.

Take DXCVII

A 'nil' GRRR!

Take DXCVI

And now it claims the player does not exist. I do not know (or care) how, since this should not be possible, but I must find out how the impossible could still happen.

Take DXCV

A quick test to make sure nothing disastrous will happen

Skeleton script for the handling of Random Treasures. Does nothing yet, but at least it prevents failures and crashes, by simply existing

In Luna's father, you will most of all encounter ingredients Francis can use for her alchemy. And also cash.

The editor for the random treasures setting is now working

I've set things that way that I can start linking this to actual data... For now you can just fill in some data and nothing will happen. The next step will be the data about random treasures actually being changed and saved, so the random treasures in game can be set to work

Now it may seem nothing has happened, but au contraire.... I have been working hard on the basis for an app that will help me to set the treasures on map in order. A similar app will be created later to do the random encounters and boss fight configuration.

It compiles.... right-o!

Take DXCIV

Code typo

Take DXCIII

I will have to limit myself to compiling tests, but they are important too, you know!

IAA

A little talk by Marrilona is now divided over multiple textboxes

And the rest is for another day

Worked without issues.

Take DXCII

Marrilona

Take DXCI

Conflict prevention?

Take DXC

Misnamed callback

Take DLXXXIX

Exit chief's house

Take DLXXXVIII

?

Take DLXXXVII

Forcing some remaps on spawn

Take DLXXXVI

Trying to void the texture issue

Take DLXXXV

Proper error message

The crash confuses me

Take DLXXXIV

Let's see what a test in VS brings up

But at least the house was picked up

CRRRRRASH!

Take DLXXXIII

Could be some conflicts in data being saved or not. Extra checkups needed

Nothing happens

Take DLXXXII

Now spekaing to Marrilona should crash the game. She has a link tag, but no event function yet.

The auto-linkups MapAction creates should link it all to get it to work

Entering the chief's house

A no longer needed debug line

Take DLXXXI

????

Conflict due to unsaved data????

Take DLXXX

Syntax error

Take DLXXIX

Auto dominance change on going up and down (left over from the bridge effect in TFT)

Take DLXXVIII

A bit of wriggling to get the compass needles at the correct height

Take DLXXVII

Little code error

Take DLXXVI

as far as I can see everything works the way it should

MapAction should tag everything properly

Savespot functions (for links)

To check if the savespot in Vandar is indeed replaced

Take DLXXV

That does not yet activate them. That's the next step

Automated Savespot replacer

Next stop: Activating the save spots

Take DLXXIV

I think I fixed the issue with the compass needless pointing the opposite way

Take DLXXIII

Alignment error

Y coordinate not increasng for next spot

Take DLXXII

Syntax error in C++ code

Take DLXXI

Now then?

No Dark?

Take DLXX

It seems that "Self" is in properties acting like the class as a static rather than the instance they belong to. I need to sort that out

Take DLXIX

Da fuck?

Take DLXVIII

fucking crap voided?

Take DLXVII

Wrong var

Take DLXVI

Illegal constructor call

Take DLXV

The current spots are likely outtdated, but that doesn't matter. For now they will do fine

Link Established

Everything appears to compile

Take DLXIV

Syntax error

Take DLXIII

Won't do anything, yet... But I can check if everything compiles properly

Compass scripted

Take DLXII

Set the margins of the text in the textboxes a bit

Well, that clears things up, I guess

Take DLXI

I think I found the reason why this could happen

Just as I thought. All booleans "magically" turn to false when loading the savegame somehow

Take DLX

I need another experiment here with TWO takes

But the DONE effect is still faulty

The Permakill took effect I see

Take DLIX

This experiment requires another take to see the results

Take DLVIII

I hope

Worse than before as Francis didn't even disappear at all

Take DLVII

I see no reason how the Done call could have gone wrong, though, but I'd like to pull of a little experiment here

I hope I fixed the PermaKill issue

Start the game was put in as "True" so I need to sort out what went wrong there

No data in PERMAKILL, so either it's not saved at all, or the perma didn't work. I need to sort that out

But the event with Francis doesn't work too well. Both the event triggers again, and the permakill didn't take effect. Two things that should work, so what the fuck is going on there?

Leaving the village without meeting Marrilona works

Take DLVI

Don't try to leave the village without saying "hi" to Marrilona.

Take DLV

GRRR!

Take DLIV

Autoremap was not present in Kill (Kthura)

Take DLIII

Missing Kthura script link

Take DLII

Let's do it this way then

Take DLI

I hate that boolean issue. I really gotta find a solution for that somehow.

" does not appear to work so nicely, eh?

A few typos

The start scenario works

Take DL

Missnamed event function

Take DXLIX

I completely messed up the Zone Action generated data... What was I thinking?

Take DXLVIII

API error

Take DXLVII

Case trouble

Take DXLVI

Trouble voided

Take DXLV

???

Take DXLIV

Wrong var

Take DXLIII

If everything works (probaly won't)) loading the savegame I have and starting a new game should both initiate the opening talk between Myrah and Francis. Let's see.

Linked it all together

Zone Action Checker

The Game Start event has been scripted (not a hard one, but hey, it has to be done, right??)

Added tag MAPSCRIPT

I need a bit more time to get my off topic stuff done. But I won't take superlong before I can resume the action

It all appears to be in working other now

Take DXLII

Word mistake

Take DXLI

Missing links

Everything happens "under the hood", but my logs are handy here

Take DXL

A small check will be required to see if it actually loads at all

Zone Action Loader.... Although that was easy as that's just the same as the clickables as it's just a pre-generated script

Time issues will now play up on me, so I hope I can still get a few things done in the little time I've left.

The Map Action tool confirms to have picked this area up and that it's linked to the not yet existent ZA system (leading that the game will (for now) ignore it).

I've already marked the area that should start the game start event in order to get things done

Next stop is the Zone Action
