Take IV

Another?

Take III

FUCK YOU, ASSHOLE!

Take II

Scope error

Take I

Well, before I get onto the boss fight itself, I first want to see if wiping works... That is the event that should later be triggered when you lose a fight. I don't need to trigger a fight for that (it's not even yet linked to the combat engine).

Getting there.... slowly.....

Schedul Flushing

(Only available in the debug version).

Quick "wipe" cheat from the field

Most of the pre-work is done, but I'm not there yet!

It does... good

Let's see if the alias linkups work as intended

Alias setting

Setup for wipe out

I've set up the wipe system, needed for lost battles

George McLeen

What I wanted to work today, does at least work

Take IV

Linkup error in Apollo

Quick test

Analysing software gives the results I wanted to see

And I need another neg

Alias

Admiral's name change was forgotten, so good thing I remembered

Take II then?

Yup a linkup error

Still a small test is possible to check if the entire link up works

And if you would win the fight anyhow, the game will crash anyway

But his AI (which is special due to him refusing to target Crystal) has not yet been set up and that will lead to a crash when the battle starts or when he's about to make his first move

Boss McLeen will activate

As players of the original game should know is that McLeen will NEVER attack Crystal, however if she remains as the "last-man-standing" (or in her case "last-woman-standing") the battle will end, McLeen will beam her out of the station, causing a "game over". In this new game this will just count as a "wipe" causing the game to continue at the last respawn point. This has however not yet been implemented so I need to set a few things up here.

The music has been properly transferred into the new game

The music for the McLeen fight was not present

Before I go on, I first need to do my backlogged bookkeeping

Works....

Again?

Forgot to save a Map adaption?

Link issue

Quick Test

Made sure some scenario stuff that should not be seen right away on floor 015 is properly hidden

But that's not for today

The fight against "The Mole" is next

Works

So let's see

If that works, I got covered what I wanted today

Lab of "The Mole"

That settles it for this particular part

Take X

almost there....

Infinite loop in the Voltsunami SpellAni

Take IX

(was possible due to the spellani being copied, and adjusted, but as the new engine has a diferent approach, this didn't work out so well)

Conflict between the old game and new new

Take VII

That linkup could never be an issue if the charge didn't work

SpellAni link up

The charge up itself appears to be working....

No extra tests needed for that one (it all comes down to the results of the current test).

State pose reset

Hey, eating is important too, you know!

Eaten my pizza

Take VI

Infinite charge loop

Take IV & V

Put my pizza in the oven

Case issue

Well at least the main parse error all seem to be accounted for now, which counts for something

Charge ignore

Take III

Syntax error

Take II

Grouping error

Take I for this spell

During my further test of the secret level I will get more into this

Volttsunami

Charged moves should now activate

Charge up moves should charge, however the engine will not yet respond to charged moves (it's just the required memory storage that is defined now).

As I said now I can script out the charge up moves....

Very very very good

At least I know now that Foxy's Dragon Inferno works the way it should

Idiot!

But at least this confirms that the transporter being ignored is fixed

Wrong group

I also need to note that if I'm correct I'm at the point that Wendicka can learn "Volttusnami" which is a charge up move.... The system does not support that yet, so this should (for now) cause a "miss". The actual code to make this working comes later.

Secret transporter was inoperative

I'll get into the level of the mole later

Take XI

Inferno implementation reference error

Target disappearing when they shouldn't

sped up the planet flow

Size of planet Mercury

Take X

Access to secret level 2

Take IX

Trivial error

AAARGH!

Take VIII

More of those

Take VII

Star coordinate error

Take VI

Y issue

Illegal "Each"

Take V

Broken planet loader

Take IV

Syntax error

Take III

Unknown identifiers in Ark Smash animation

Take II (that fix had nothing to do with the Ark Smash after all)

Blockmap issues in the casino

Take I

I really doubt this will work in one go, but who knows

Ark Smash

My next stop will be to animate the Ark Smash

So far so good

That is if no bugs are there of course, as this has not yet been tested

The Jerrycans on floor 012 will move just like they did in the original version

Yirl can now teach Wendicka "Follow Me" if the conditions are met

Bad Hawk linkups

Alias error

Malformed C string format in the internal Kthura map switch of Excalibur

No music on area 11 and higher

missing period

The boss on floor 10 has been scripted

True!

The boss can now be implemented

Tons of crap

Scriptout of the bridge on floor 10 of Excalibur

Many fixes as a log went wrong here

And Rachel will give you the Ark Smash when you succesfully completed Airom.

So far so good.

PostBoss Scenario didn't activate

Completion issue

Music error

Boss fight should work now

But first a little break.

Right, all's ready now to set up the boss in Airom. This boss is unique in the game as this is the only boss who can all be fought once in all cycles together. This because this boss is only a guardian for Crystal's ultimate ARM. The Ark Smash. (This will also be the only dungeon which will in all cycles that come next be unlocked from the start if you did it in an earlier cycle, although you will need to unlock the world world Phantasar first, which is (I guess) only obvious.

Return Error in "Follow Me"

Wrong class member in "Follow Me"

Panacea icon missing

Combat start = Crash!

Hmmm? Did I just have a syntax error getting these oddities?

And with this the map should work except for the boss and "prize". This however comes later.

Random encounters (this is a Phantasar mission after all)

Take II

Meta error

I will first test if everything works the way it should, before I add the random encounters

Take I

Small error spot in time

Secret passages will be hidden and shown

And the background music didn't work, which has been fixed now

The save spots have been activated

Before I script everything out, I first need to make a quick checkup if everything works properly or not!

So far, so good!

Again!

Da fuuck?

Please note, when completing Airom (which you cannot do yet, as the map is present, but it's script is not yet),the game will for now crash, as I will script obtaining the Ark Smash itself later

Rachel has been set to unlock Airom

So far... I need a break now!

All's well that ends well!

Well?

There was however a fault in the reference to the Rising Nova ARM

Yup, that part of the problem is confirmed now by the log

....

?

Rachel doesn't appear in Frendor when she should... This is what I need to sort out when I resume my actions

Fuck it more!

Right then?

WTF is going on there

Fuck it!

Well, whatever magic caused it, a void has been set up to prevent this from happening again!

WTF? Nothing could have caused a target to be a nil value

Let's see, then...

Dominance issue (cosmetic)

Blockmap issue on last door (very important)

Boss Take IX

I keep doing that! Much much longer will I torture myself with that?

the crash didn't happen again... odd

decimal issue in Neil

Boss Take VIII

Stuff is getting stranger by the minute

Boss Take VII

Non-existent barrier appears to be a problem

I don't know what happened, but I do know that it was not right!

Boss Take VI

....

CODE TYPO! Oh I hate myself for this!

Boss Take V

Extra debug item for me

Boss Take IV

Right-on

Why wasn't this parse error seen before?

Boss Take III

This way then?

FUCK YOU!

Boss Take II
