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

#4

Added tag REMINDER

Take CDII

Let's do it from here to make sure the C++ code is recompiled (GRR!)

Take CDI

400 takes already and still nothing really playable.... Good start... Well, I guess that's the price of a brand new engine

Slash error

Take CD

Faulty assign check

Take CCCXCIX

Alias for Text

Take CCCXCVIII

As the chain to the game itself and the statician loaded have not yet been set up fully errors will be thrown, no matter what!

The call to load game has been made

Finally it all works

Take CCCXCVII

Syntax error

Take CCCXCVI

Picking a new session SHOULD be possible now

Finally

Take CCCXCV

Mistake on the y coordinate calculation

C++ Issue on StripDir

Take CCCXCIV

Missing #use

Take CCCXCIII

The log showed that the Test session did had to be added, but it doesn't, so more investigation is needed to find out why

Link up error

Take CCCXCII

Well, another test needed as we can't be sure

I think I know what's wrong... I think I fixed it

HOLD IT!

Take CCCXCI

A debug line must provide an answer (I hope)

Why?

Empty sesssion list

Take CCCXC

C++ Boolean issue

Take CCCLXXXIX

Meddled a bit with the code, but that shouldn't be what caused the misery

Still ignored?

Take CCCLXXXVIII

Nil call from linkscript

Take CCCLXXXVII

File name typo

Take CCCLXXXVI

Code typo

Take CCCLXXXV

Basis for session picking. (I really wanna do this NOW, as when I delay this to later I'll not be willing to sort this out. This is a feature you seldom need, but still it must be there)

Force reload of page on entering the loading screen. This is needed to make sure changing sessions won't spook things up.

Take CCCLXXXIV

Session hover in LoadGame sequence

Take CCCLXXXIII

???

Take CCCLXXXII

Here goes nothing

Take CCCLXXXI

I can't see why this shouldn't happen, but let's do more investigations

Still no good though

Two takes. the first one was only to access the existing part but it had to create data th enew part needs

Take CCCLXXX

Take CCCLXXIX

Issue in C++ handler (I wonder how it worked in the first place, though

Take CCCLXXVIII

FUCK IT!

Take CCCLXXVII

General var trouble

Take CCCLXXVI

Savegame routine nou linked to the main menu to make loading savegames possible

And that brings me to the next stage AT FUCKING LAST!

So far so good!

Take CCCLXXV

Ref error

Take CCCLXXIV

Syntax error

Take CCCLXXIII

Initiation in declaration really needs some work, I tell ya!

Take CCCLXXII
