It does indeed handle a violation. It appears we got a null call here

Take CCXVII

Since no error message pops up, this is likely to be either a stack overflow or a memory violation.

Given the circumstances the latter appears more likely, but it's hard to tell at this point.

Another run to Visual Studio I guess!

Little script adaption

Something goes wrong when loading the music. That much is clear!

Take CCXVI

Fix

Take CCXV

Headless module

Take CCXIV

Scope error in link code

Take CCXIII

Music should change when a new map is loaded (if the music is supposed to change, that is)

And some Scyndi linkup code was (of course) required as well

Kthura Meta Data can now be accessed by the game scripts

AT LAST!

Take CCXII

Link to the FIELD flow

Typical how such trivial things can cause so much trouble

And I forgot one last important thing

Take CCXI

Syntax error

Take CCX

(I got the feeling this is gonna happen much of times. Forgotten #include commands is what I also suffer from in C++)

Anther missing #use

Take CCIX

And now that I was at it, I've also put in the mouse pointer

An another

Take CCVIII

Missing #use

Take CCVII

Right now, it's nothing more but a block screen, but terminating the game already works (at least, it should)

A main flow function is made for the field.

"Are you sure you wanna quit"?

Was about time.... wasn't it?

And now the first moves can be made to get into the game itself....

It will go straight to the point where the fake error is in place

Take CCVI

Layer check faulty. Would crash if layer DID exist in stead of did not

Take CCV

AAARGH!

Take CCIV

Now then?

Take CCIII

?

Take CCII

Markers

Elementary, my dear Watson!

"Out of Range Memory Location".... I guess things are not yet the way they should be

Take CCI

Crash with no warnings or errors or anything,.... Stack overflow?

Take CC

No referrence to the direcitory Kthura in the JCR6 file were all maps will be stored

We're getting somewhere

Take CXCIX

It's all experimenting in this new environment

Take CXCVIII

Got them all now?

Take CXCVII

I hope

But not nearly there yet (unfortunately)

Indeed

Take CXCVI

Bugger found

Take CXCV

Debug line added

Take CXCIV

Code typo

Take CXCIII

Definition fault in Kthura link up code

Take CXCII

The same error should pop up, but at least some fruitful data about the matter should be produced

Some linkup code has been written

No visual effects at all yet, though, so this is as far as I can go now

All compilation stuff so far accounted for...

Take CXCI

#Use issue

Take CXC

Syntax error

Take CLXXXIX

The first preparations to loading a map have been done.... We're not there yet, though... FAR from it!

And now the artificial error pops up that the game has not yet been created.... That is what is supposed to happen.

Take CLXXXVIII

More aliassing done

Take CLXXXVII

A code typo in the link up code appears to be the source of evil

Take CLXXXVI

Another crash without warning... Mostly that is a a stack overflow....

Take CLXXXV

Alias to prevent me from havving to fix tons of code

Added tag LAZINESS

A DIFFERENT ERROR (and with a message this).... PROGRESS!

Take CLXXXIV

I think I found the source of evil

The metamethod which should call the entire shit SHOULD do all this... good

Take CLXXXIII

Let's see now

The API needed for this is not even called, which is just as I thought

Take CLXXXII

The hard way then as this does seem impossible... Yet it happens, so I need to know why

Believe it or not, but it seems that setting the base experience to 0 points is what's doing the evil here...

Trying to narrow everything down even further

Oh... more DID happen

Take CLXXXI

Extra measures taken

Even before setting the name, but a little more breakdown is needed

Take CLXXX

As the data about base stats is not shown in the log, it's safe to assume the stack overflow happened before that. Multiple debug messages have been added in hopes to pinpoint the exact location of the "evil"

Due to the limited support by VS on this, this will be even harder to debug

Stack overflows are (due to the stack containing too much datga... hence the overflow) the most terrible things to deal with as the source of evil is downright impossible to find

So a stack overflow is the source of evil here?

Take CLXXIX

I guess more config was needed

Take CLXXVIII

Let's go to VS then where a more detailed error report awaits me (hopefully)

And the game crashes without a warning when creating the character Myrah.

Take CLXXVII

So now testing in runtime

Well it seems to compile now... Sheesh!

Take CLXXVI

The Intelligent IDE is not always doing what I want

Take CLXXV

Let's compile SCI

That should link it all together

Scyndli link up code

Well, in order to fix that first two API functions to make it happen

It seems I forgot to implement Character name changes.... How silly of me

Take CLXXIV

Or void... whatever

Take CLXXIII

One instance escaped the fix.... Fixed now anyway

Take CLXXII

Well, that's been taken care of now

Consequently used the wrong variable for the wrong purpose

Take CLXXI

I really hate it that Lua does not support sending booleans to the C/C++ APIs

Take CLXX

Method called by wrong name

Take CLXIX

Internal library fault... That caused this to happen... Hey... SCI itself is also know and this project is its maidens voyage!

Take CLXVIII

Extra data required

An error that should be impssoble is thrown without any traceback data... That makes it hard on me

Take CLXVII

File not found

Take CLXVI

And an alias to prevent further trouble on loading new states

Take CLXV

Shows as there are some C++ syntax errors in there

I first should have made sure SCI was recompiled as I did have to make a few changes there.

Take CLXIV

All set data for characters SHOULD be accounted for now, except for passive skills, but that comes later

More scripting

Quick dice menu... Yes the game mechanics are not based on real dice, hence the lower stats and HP

All errrors I can check up so far have been accounted for

Take CLXIII

Syntax error

Take CLXII

Code typo

Take CLXI

Another

Take CLX

Referrence error

Take CLIX

I guess the keyword "Number" was not recognized as a type by Scyndi

Take CLVIII

???

Dat fuck?

Added tag HUH

Take CLVII

Another issue

Voiding worked

Take CLVI

Voided the issue, but it does look like the parser needs a bit of a workout... at least the chopper... But then again, much of Scyndi needs it

Take CLV

It seems to happen in the chopping stage, which comes before the actual parsing

Take CLIV

Let's take it to VisiualStudio and see there

Something's wrong, making the compiler hang in an infinite loop.... Why?

Take CLIII

Now this is all based on prototyp code I wrote in C and which I had to adept for Scyndi in order to make it work inside the scripted environment (I know. Mostly coders work the other way around, but I am not "most coders"), so basically they SHOULD work.... However all I can do to test is seeing if no compilation errors pop up (for now)

I've set up how the basic statistics should be dealt with on level ups.

I've set up some base data for the six girls who are going to be with you during this entire game.

At this point I have NO IDEA if this all works the way it should and I have NO WAY to test... I can however soon start to set everything in motion, though....

Spawn implemented

Please note the former I could test already, the latter will have to be tested as I now begin on the game itself

Actors should also appear now

I've build in Kthura animation support

JCR6_Show has (at least for now) had the support for WestWood PAK files removed. Somehow this lead to conflicts. Now Westwood has a very bad PAK system anyway, so I'm not surprised.

Added tag VISUALSTUDIO

Take CLII

A tool has been written that will create the compass spots. I chose this approach is during the production of The Fairy Tale REVAMPED I quite often forgot many

The only big thing is now that actors cannot yet be drawn, that willl be one of the next important things to cover...

It compiles so what I have is ready to use

Some fixes along the way

Link up scripts

Kthura API

In order to put my mind onto something else first, I've first made the welcoming banners for Vandar, Frendor and the Frendor Bushes, respectively the first three locations Myrah and Francis will come through.

But that API will have to come later....

The API has not yet been written... That will be the next step
