Unknown identifiers in Inferno SpellAni

this is a bug in Neil, but I'll void that for now

Linking members does not really seem to work well, does it?

Identifier issue

Achievement for getting near the Rising Nova

Boss on secret level

Slow as it may be I'll test the secret area up to the boss. It's only one (optional) area after all. If I can find out what causes this slowdown to happen I'll be on it, but at the present time I got no idea at all.

Follow me

The editor also slows down at that point, by the way, so it's hard to pinpoint what's wrong here.

Other than the boss, the secret level does appear to work properly though.

The game slows down like crazy in the secret level. Which is odd. It can't be the number of objects. Frendor bushes has more objects and doesn't show this behavior.

NOW the door should open? (I hope)

Tag error

Take III

Door didn't open?

Take II

Crashes and a few more bad setups

Take I

The way to the secret passage on area 007

Let's see

Not saved?

I'll sort this out, later.

No response

Let's see

Conveyor belt in the first trash department has been scripted

Transporter issue when leaving your house

Gotta test if this all works

Wendicka's Home => Final Dungeon

Final Dungeon => Wendicka's Home

Older savegames will still show this boss if past that point. No point fixing those savegames as this is only cosmetic. In later tests I will make sure the boss does actually disappear

Removal boss actor from map after combat didn't happen

Take IV

In order to avoid conflicts I enforced a "stop walking" upon activating the boss on floor 5

Cyborg reference fault

Take III

Missing link

Take II

Fixes another "issue"

Begone!

How did that loose letter get in my code?

Local declaration error

Take I

Start up Super Cyborg

Boss start script (same for all bosses except the Goddess herself, but she has a seperate Kthura map for herself alone).

The next stop will be, the first boss... The Super Cyborg

And suddenly it just works....

Take IV

Let's add an extra line to make sure!

Fuck that! Nil value... It has a function pointer, come on!

Take III

Scope error

Take II

Something went wrong in the macro line

And that will only be this floor since the first boss is on floor 5 already

I'll test floor 4 this way.

The "Chat" system has been implemented. All 7 spots should work now.

And I'll update the github repository

Running

So far so good.... That covers most of the hard stuff, but it ain't over yet. Excalibur is a large dungeon and in the original version I really put a lot of effort in it. And I don't want that to go to waste, so I'll be busy on this place, that's for sure.

Take VI

Johnson crash in combat

Take V

I think I got it!

I need a different way to announce Johnson's return, I suppose

Take VI

And that should void/fix/whatever another crash

Alias resistance Rolf => Johnson

Take V

Tag error

Take IV

Spawn Johnson crash

Take III

Macro conflict

Take II

Several fixes

Johnson - Take I

Johnson

Johnson

I'm going to take a break now, the next stop will be The Lady Of The Lake Artificial Park, where the last new character joins the group.

Things do appear to work now

Take XIV

Crash

Take XIII

Did I void that issue properly?

I do see though, that the doors that were previously opened do not open again... They should, though

Issue voided

Take XII

Let's see

I do have issues with the distance to keycards, meaning your heroes will refuse to pick it up

Door on the right had issues, but that was easy to fix

Removed Itch.io downloads of the old version

Take XI

Let's do it THIS way then?

Fuck you!

Take X

Bad operator

Take IX

Did I fix it?

Take VIII

Let's see what's wrong

But the door refuses to open!

Key is taken and marker disappears

Area behind door shows

Take VII

GRRR!

Take VI

Syntax error

Take V

Forgot some linkup code

Take IV

Extra info I think I may need

Door color issue

I guess I must first recompile Apollo....

Sigh!

Take III

OH FUCK IT!

Take II

Idiocy

Take I

I've scripted the automated doors. They should all be functional now, in the entire dungeon

But finally it seems I got it all covered

and there one ANOTHER

Need to recompile both Kthura Editor and Apollo now

Ah, another one there

Tile framing error in TSQG

NOW it works

Again!?

Forgotten "Return" instruction in order to enforce the rejection

Ah, that's why

No effect?

A little test

Getting keys that are too far away should not be possible anymore

Time to update the repository

Beaming works

Take XXVII

Back to the field after the beam

An event flush must prevent a red-card take bug

First a coloring bug

Take XXVI

Yeah, the last one was cosmetic, but still it was a bug

Color issue

C-String-Format Error

Take XXV

Trying to be the smart one, eh?

Take XXIV

Beaming between one room to another should work now

The next step is... beaming to other rooms

First floor available now on Hawk

ALmost there, but I did realize a stupid thing along the way, I really need to fix

(Now the user wouldn't really notice anyway, but it was getting on my nerves)

Dummied a few debug lines that only slowed down loading a new map

Take XXIII

So let's do this manually then

I think there's a state release conflict going on here. A common issue. Scotty() was never meant for this purpose after all

Take XXII

Why?

A total crash

Take XXI

....

Take XX

Syntax error x2

Take XIX

And Johnson should be replaced by Rolf if she already joined. If she hasn't yet joined,then Rolf should just rejoin

Return to the Hawk

Take XVIII

Did I void the coordinate conflicts now?

Take XVII

Hawk linkups

This because that is the most complex feature of them all

Extra features work now, except for beaming back to the Hawk.

Take XVI

Hover conflict?

Take XV

Missing mouse pointer

Take XIV

Extra features bar

And suddenly it works

Take XIII

Moar look up then

Really, what the fuck is going on here?

Take XII

AAAARGH!

Take XI

This way then?

Take X

Syntax error

Take IX

A different approach as this is getting nowhere

Take VIII

Moar debug info

No real clear sign where this goes wrong. The log is clear, but why doesn't the computer comply?

Take VII

Syntax error

Take VI

I need answers

Hmmm... No... apparently not!

But I THINK I found out more in which direction to look to get it to work

Part of the problem,...

Take V

A different X calc formula, maybe?
