Let's throw in a little test. I'm 100% sure I'll get an error, but let's see what I gotta do next.

Not NEARLY there yet, though.

All required assets are probably missing, but I'll find out later.

IT COMPILES!

Take XLIII

Another one

Take XLII

Dev class no longer really needed

Take XLI

More conversions

Take XL

and is not a keyword in Scyndi

Take XXXIX

More conversions falling behind?

Take XXXVIII

One static method calling another is still an issue in Scyndi (for some odd reason)

Take XXXVII

or is NOT a keyword in Scyndi

Take XXXVI

And another

Take XXXV

Delegate is always nil by default. Scyndi doesn't need to be told

Take XXXIV

Declaration bug

Take XXXIII

More of that

Take XXXII

Conversion things

Take XXXI

Scyndi declaration bug for locals. Still clueless about how to tackle that one properly

Take XXX

Missing link to core library

And that was about time too

+= and -= support

Take XXIX

Loading converted

Take XXVIII

Loading adapted

There are propbably even more takes, but this was so plex that I couldn't log everything.

Take XXVII

Take XXVI

Take XXV

Take XXIV

Take XXIII

Several work outs

Take XXII

Group -> Class

Take XXI

Scyndi IS now able to handle macros. The support is just as dirty as in NIL, and I wouldn't recommend using these unless you KNOW what you are doing!

A bit of workout on PSaveGame

Function that won't be used anymore anyway

Take XX

Glue code

API created

Now it's funny to see the checker flag and the starting shot on the same page

Only if you check the dates you can see that a lot of time had passed.

I also see the plan to kill. Something SCI does not yet even yet support, so that's gonna need to be done also

it will likely not work anyway, as there's too much to adapt.

Okay, I couldn't resist, yet I shouldn't

The main menu comes later

So far so good

Take XIX

Link issue

Take XVIII

Sigh!

Well, let's just fire it once more, shall we.

Now that's not ALL assets, only the base ones.

All base assets accounted for

Take XVII

Name in l337. Not gonna repeat.

Take XVI

OCAL

Take XV

Tricky CC

Take XIV

System font

Take XIII

Robotica font

Take XII

Tricky Private Graphics

The first issue due to missing assets

Take XI

Flip

Take X

upper conflict

Don't you hate BOSDs as much as I do?

(But this is actually the EASY part)

All compiling errors accounted for

Take IX

Missing link

Take VIII

It's just laziness. It'll void me tons of problems later!

I just set up a quick Flow library.

Take VII

?

Take VI

Correction error

Take V

No more or in Scyndi

Take IV

Well, that's been taken care of!

Magically code transforms back in its original form

Take III

And I have the feeling this one will haunt me for a very long time. I might even set up a library for it, to save me a lot of trouble.

Take II

Not Screen. but Graphics.

Take I

I'm gonna reset the takes ONE LAST time, and I will keep them counting during the course of this remake

Yeah something tells me I'm gonna need that one. I will icon it, and set up the proper style later.

Added tag SCYNDI

The main script (only used for starting up and loading some core assets) has been converted to Scyndi

It does go without saying, but everything posted on this DevLog from this day henchforth only applies to the new SCI version, okay?

I can copy them in and adept them. Easy as pie.

Searching the original databases.

And to link to to the new

I had to unlink my GitHub desktop from the old folder

Syldeyn should not be bothered by the original .neil scripts anymore.

Since most of the data appears to be set up in pure Neil code, I have the feeling I'll be getting a bit of work here.

Syldeyn will have to ignore all Neil scripts.

They are only still there for referrence purposes anyway, but will all disappear over time.

Author and copyright data.

No need at all to manually re-enter all that crap!

Base project set up

#170 will remain untouched. I need to make sure this works properly in the new version, anyway.

I don't even understand myself what #169 is supposed to mean, but perhaps it'll be clear during the conversion.

#167 is an actual bug in the Kthura data most likely. This issue will be untouched, as it's likely it will pop up during the conversion

At least I converted this devlog to Azor, so that part has been put on the way

As you know I am planning to get this show on the road to convert Star Story to Scyndi's Creative Interpreter. That should end the long loading times at all battles, and hopefully if I can get SCI on the run in Linux, also get me to a Linux version of the game.

The game will NOT yet be updated. This due to some technical issues arising due to me dumping Apollo.

Now I was planning to (as soon as Luna's Father has been finished) to give Star Story another upgrade (the long loading times at each battle somehow force me to) this game to Scyndi's Creative Interpreter, and with that in mind, it's perhaps better to leave things the way they are.

Should be added into the Kthura map

Text has been added for James Earl Jones in order to put his tombstone into the Dark Graveyard.

Compiling

Allow editor to automatically fix deprecated ALPHA tag to ALPHA255 tag

Michael Jackson killed the game

A new release where this is taken in order will be uploaded momentarily

Level nerf in Groenhart forest. All things considered things there were berely insane, especially since you cannot leave that please until it's been completed at least once

Now this picture was drawn for Luna's father. My next planned project, yet since she already makes a cameo in Star Story, she's been included in that game as well and will appear in the next release on itch.io

The fixed version is incoming here!

An important fix! SDL2.dll wasn't included in release builds by the Apollo builder. This has been fixed.... This will require an immediate update of both The Fairy Tale REVAMPED and Star Story.

Which is happening as we speak!

Wrong devlog

Drown works, though

Target error in Mega Quake and in Catastrophe

This MAY happen later.... As you know my GameJolt account is in a kind of "closing" mode....

Updated

It's completely beyond me how it got there in the first place

A crash on Nizozemska.

Added tag IMPORTANT

I am actually clueless what causes that to happen, actually....

The exe file is acting up again and I do not know why

Not fully sure, but as far as I can see now it appears to be working... Later tests will have to confirm this, though....

Take V

Possible crash when having to create the proper directory

Security messing stuff up?

No game tag in medals

Take IV

C++ code was not yet properly set to fire things up

Indeed!

Take III

There they are again?

???

Savegames disappeared?

Take II

C++ is just pretty primiteive and I should never forget that after using more sophisticated languages

C++ code init issue

Take I

I hope I do not have to turn on the development mode to check this all out, but we'll see

That would link it all together

Achievement sub adapted

Glue code

Completed underlying APIs

Medal synchronizer

Small issue in Y Anhysbys

Well, and that's it for now. I'm gonna take a break, and then focus on my other projects... See ya!

Announcement posted

Announcement posted (and scheduled)

Uploaded, but will be visible in a week!

And with that the project has ended.... Only some fine tuning will come next!

Beta on-line

Quick release builder

And after that Game Jolt will have to be prepared.

Update the script to upload to itch with Butler

Make sure a No-Music version can be easily created

With this being done, I can finally get onto the last leg of the project before the project itself is officially closed and ready for beta. Please note, the project being officially closed doesn't mean no updates can be done. There are still some things in the issue tracker that need addressing, however, the main stuff is then done, and when this step is over the checker flag will be waved.

Well, that covers the final Alpha Test

Once that's done, it's not time to release the beta YET, but then we certainly are closer to that point

All that remains now in the final boss fight

Done

Final part of Excalibur (not counting the final boss section)

Okay, it was still bad luck, eh?

Let's see now

For this some extra debug is going to be required

I really wonder why Foxy keeps refusing to teach Wendicka "Pickpocket" ... The random factors can not be THAT unlucky

Success there.....
