Take CDLXX

Syntax error

Take CDLXIX

Tiny mistake

Take CDLXVIII

All I can test now is if everything compiles. That is already worth a lot at this point

Boxtext script completed

Background callback for BoxText (Verrrrry important)

SCI should be able to give the name of the current flow

The config menu had a bit of an issue in Dutch, I voided that.

So far so good!

Take CDLXVII

Field name not appearing

Dutch and English mised up

Take CDLXVI

And THAT I can test!

speed of the textboxtext is now settable

All I know is that the code compiles. I cannot yet test if it all works the way it should

I've set up a final line parsing routine which has to make sure all text fits on screen and that lines that turn out too long as cut accordingly

All compilation errors accounted for

Take CDLXV

Syntax error

Take CDLXIV

Font link up issues

Take CDLXIII

Missing declarations

Take CDLXII

Guess.....

Take CDLXI

Another code typo

Take CDLX

AAARGH!

Take CDLIX

One code typo escaped me, eh?

Take CDLVIII

Missing #use

Take CDLVII

Code order mistake

Take CDLVI

Syntax error

Take CDLV

Code typo

Take CDLIV

With it didn't... missing #use

Take CDLIII

Set up the basis for the BotText, but it doesn't work yet! It's only a loader now and all I can test if it compiles

Now the next stage will be to add the boxtext feature. Once that works I can also get to setting up the game's opening scene.

Time for a break

As far as I can check the clickables load fine

Take CDLII

Let's not talk about THAT one!

Take CDLI

Illegal function call

Take CDL

Quick script to prevet errors. True workout comes later!

Take CDXLIX

Conflict

Take CDXLVIII

General error

Take CDXLVII

That's ONLY the loader... The clickables themselves are ignored for the time being.

Clickables loaded added

This ends the issue of Kthura crashing in the item store of Vandar. Since I merely removed the items that caused this to happen, I refuse to speak of a fix. By the way, the removed carpet was more decoration if anything anyway, so I doubt any players will miss it, unless you have those idiots seeking out every little detail between this game and TFT. Well 200 years have passed will ya, so could it be possible the carpet is removed by now?

I've put in some animation detection in the Kthura fixer

Tag overview. That will definitely make my life a lot easier

Take CDXLVI

Now my Dijkstra routine may be a bit odd, but it begins to calculate at the end of the route and tries to seek the player position in stead of the other way around. This has been done because my Dijkstra routine relies on linked lists and it was easier to link the entries together this way. Due to that the end was never checked for being blocked or not. I now forced it to.

But it DOES explain a few things, though

Myrah walks straight INTO the wall? That should NOT be possible

Take CDXLV

I need to investigate why Myrah gets stuck on the top layer, while she shouldn't

At least the needless zigzag has gone

I did run a little analysis. It's interesting to see the zigzag only happens when going North or West and not when going East or South. And I think I also found out why this could happen, but I do need to properly sort that one out.

Added tag ANALYSIS

And that will have to do for now.

Issued as #6

Still some stuff to sort out, but as I am expecting a visitor soon I must keep it to a little list up on my issue tracker, as this may be too complicated to sort out right away

Take CDXLIV

A forceful method, I know, but it has to do

Take CDXLIII

Although I'm not sure if that will help

To be more secure texture chaning resets stuff

Myrah does begin to move, but the game crashes and likely because the texture was changed

Take CDXLII

Let's see

At leas THAT has been taken care of

Take CDXLI

I think I fixed that and before I get Myrah to walk I first need to make sure

It seems the game crashes when Dijkstra can't establish a path. And I think I know why

Well, this is cool.... The log indicates that Dijkstra found the path for Myrah to walk has been succesfully found, yet she doesn't walk... Now, this has always been a bit odd, but I guess I should try something

Take CDXL

???

Take CDXXXIX

Good, good, now for some more trouble then

Take CDXXXVIII

An extra debug line for more information

Okay, the Kthura walk system does recognize Myrah as an actor... so far, so good

Take CDXXXVII

Let's first check if there's actor data present in Myrah

So now the investigation continues in SCI but also with checking the Kthura libs

That does at least mean that Kthura itself doesn't appear to blame, at least not as far as its its internal core features are concerned. The next question is of course (which I cannot check in the editor) if the communication with Dijkstra is in order.

As far as I can judge the blockmap for the city of Vandar appears to be in working order

The blockmap builder appears to be in working order

Take CDXXXVI

C++ Syntax error

Take CDXXXV

Linked to the pulldown menus

Blockmap view basis (will only show the boundaries, but that's already an important step, y'know)

The first step in investigating this will be in Kthura itself and not in the game. A blockmap builder is after all present, but does it work the way it should? That has not yet been properly investigated.

Added tag KTHURA

Now I did expect this to require some time, but the big question is WHY nothing happens. At least I know that Dijkstra itself works, but is the link up to Kthura good, is the blockmap properly generated, well that sort of stuff will now be required to figure out.

NOTHING HAPPENS AT ALL!

Take CDXXXIV

#use line forgotten

Take CDXXXIII

Walking should work now, that is, just walking.... talking to people or any other kinds of interactions on the map do not work yet

As far as I can check at the present time, this works

Take CDXXXII

That allows me some debugging already, so let's take another take

A basis has been made to make it possible to pick the position Myrah (and friends) should walk to. She won't walk to it yet, but some information will be shown on the debug console

Added tag SCREENSHOT

Perfect!

Take CDXXXI

Fine tuning now

Take CDXXX

Shees... still more?

Take CDXXIX

Adjusting to make it JUUUST right.... the x is fine, the y needs a bit more precission

And I must stress how stupid I was!

Fix confirmed

Take CDXXVIII

I think

I think I got it!

Take CDXXVII

I relaly hope it's not the alignment. Let's remove it to see what happens

Take CDXXVI

One half appears and the other does not, and no telling why that is

Take CDXXV

Adjusting a bit

Things are as I feared

Take CDXXIV

Let's force things a little

Take CDXXIII

Well?

Take CDXXII

Cloesr look then

I could fix one issue, but that doesn't explain the otheres

Nothing happens

Take CDXXI

Illegal function call

Take CDXX

Field Stats

And also resized Luna's picture as that one was even bigger

Scyndi's portrait has been resized... Better for the status bar and also for the savegame routine

Now THAT is settled. Now the true work on the game can begin.

Take CDXIX

Although the game is still not playable (Myrah won't walk after all) I can at least start the official development play session now.

Test saves.... I no longer need them

Sill a few things to do, but the basis WORKS!

Loading games appears to be working, YAY!

Take CDXVIII

Misisng #use

Take CDXVII

Directory inclusion that I do not what and which the game cannot handle either

Fix confirmed

Take CDXVI

I think I found the bugger! GINIE was not to blame... The API linking to GINIE was

So GINIE compiles to compile the tag in stead of the source? But how can that happen?

Take CDXV

I was too quick in deactivating the debugger in Statistician blocking the compiler in the process

Take CDXIV

GINIE is lying to me and I need to find out why. Extra data has been put in the error message so I can find out!

Take CDXIII

I hope I voded that

For no reason at all GINIE throws an error about no category being set. I wonder why.

Take CDXII

I think I found the source of evil

Take CDXI

Empty string loaded????

Take CDX

Why? An extra debug line must tell me

Empty string for map?

Take CDIX

The last issues... I hope

Take CDVIII

Parsing Map data and player position

Parsing Variables

Take CDVII

And now linking it all up and see what happens

It works

Take CDVI

I think?

Take CDV

Moar Debug lines

At least I can confirm that the text files are read.... The statistics were asked for, but skipped

Take CDIV

Judging by my code the game MUST crash on that, but the stage has been skipped. Now it's only a crash, but later it will be the missing character data of Myrah and Francis (and the later character who'll join), so I must sort this out

Now this is odd, as it throws the error for not being bale to chain to the game, but shouldn't have been able to get that far because.... The statician loaded is supposed to cause trouble first.

Take CDIII
