Not the most beautiful solution I ever created, but it'll have to do

Treasure chest editor set

Walking to NPC tagged objects is not alawys going the way it should. I hope this is nothing serious, though

Take DCLVII

Let's try to force things then

The computer decided to act up on me

Take DCLVI

SAVE FIRST!

Take DCLV

A little error in copying and adepting the code

Take DCLIV

Inns played an important role in The Fairy Tale, for which Vander was primary created, but they have no role at all in this game, so Margaery (the innkeeper) will just be a useless NPC like the others.

The Inn can be entered, left and you can speak to the innkeeper.

Well, going on endlessly into that inventory check is gonna take forever, so let's not waste any time on that one. I will be able to do better on those things later.

Take DCLIII

At least I see inventory data in the savegame file, but I do need more workout on things as no items were dropped this time :(

Take DCLII

Illegal GINIE call

(which does NOT justify another take).

I KNEW the permakill wasn't operating the way it should. Well, that has been fixed now.

Take DCLI

Savegames will now cover the inventory as well

Take DCL

And I need to make sure the inventory is saved now, which right now also doesn't happen, but first things first.

I need to see why the d4 roll that decides if a bag should permanently be removed or not never hits 1 causing the removal to be permanent.

Take DCXLIX

0

Take DCXLVIII

.INI.INI

Take DCXLVII

Let's try that again, shall we?

Take DCXLVI

Register update error

Take DCXLV

Case issue?

Take DCXLIV

Must use and extra #use

Take DCXLIII

Illegal variable usage (this affects the pick up of alchemy ingredients. None were dropped in the earlier test, hence no errors coming with it, either).

Take DCXLII

Random treasure would always announce that you only found 1 shilder.... even if you found more

Space on multicolor mini messages in better proportion

And suddenly the mini messages work... Curious....

Take DCXLI

Some debug lines that should help me on telling why no mini messages appear

No shilders shown

Music stops as soon as Cha-Ching sounds

For-Each error

Take DCXL

What was I thinking filling in .lua in stead of .ini as the extension of the Random Treasure data in a map?

Take DCXXXIX

Another one

Take DCXXXVIII

A tag requirement taken care of???

Take DCXXXVII

Another missing link

Take DCXXXVI

#Use typo

Take DCXXXV

Let's re-insert it then

Added tag RECOVERED

Missing line? How did it disappear

Take DCXXXIV

Another one of those

Take DCXXXIII

Misisng link to audio

Take DCXXXII

And now for the REAL test!

Audio effects added.

And for now that will do as a few more things had to be done.

It compiles

Take DCXXXI

Missing link

Take DCXXX

Missing declaration

Take DCXXIX

Wrong dir

Take DCXXVIII

Dum-de-dum

Take DCXXVII

#use ref typo

Take DCXXVI

ANOTHER code typo

Take DCXXV

Missing var + code typo

Take DCXXIV

Missing declaration

Take DCXXIII

Code typo

Take DCXXII

Missing link

Take DCXXI

Workout on the random treasures

And I will have to deal with other crap later!

And now it works

Take DCXX

The Scyndi compiler was producting VERY VERY weird data (for no reason at all)

Take DCXIX

s or no s... that's the question

Take DCXVIII

?

Take DCXVII

code typo

Take DCXVI

I can only test if it compiles, as nothing will happen when you pick up the bags

Base script for random treasures

Thanks to this nasty bug setting up a good go for the random treasures has been a bit endangered today, but I will do what I can....

Time to serve dinner, alright

Take DCXV

Another take must tell if this is true or not

Now Stach does show the data I wanna see...

Take DCXIV

If this doesn't void the problem forever, I don't know what will

Despite all forcefully implemented code,, the system keep insisting in using the permakill.... I guess there is only ONE thing left to do now!

Take DCXIII

????

Take DCXII

LEER TYPEN, JEROEN!

Take DCXI

Code typo

Take DCX

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
