22:26	CONFIRMED	That works
22:23	TEST	Should... but does it?
22:23	MAPSCRIPT	If within range the flag should be commented
22:17	TEST	Let's see
22:17	DEBUG	For debugging purposes for now
22:17	LINK	Linked that to the flag of Brabant
22:09	SCRIPT	Distance checker
22:09	SCRIPT	Distance calculator
21:58	NOTE	I'll save the vault for later.... I'll first focus on getting the story done here
21:54	TODO	#82
20:14	FIXED	Ah yeah, the old naming system....

16:08	FIXED	Tag error
15:44	TEST	At least I can test if the entrance itself works, plus if the door to Wendicka's "beloved" neighbor works.... Take I
15:43	NOTE	Now if the correct file plays in all situations can only be tested once the situation arises (and since Wendicka's house is even part of the final dungeon, that can take a long time)
15:41	NOTE	A lot will need to be done to make everything about Wendicka's house work properly, though.....
15:39	MUSIC	The music played in Wendicka's house is dependent on the situation in the story line. The script which should take care of this has been written now.

19:58	COCKROACH	Now I wish to know which part of SKIPPING AUTO TEXTURING it doesn't undersand

19:54	FUCKYOU	Let's try this
19:53	FIXED	I could at least do something about the lingering textbox, but still the wanted effect doesn't happen.... at all
19:53	COCKROACH	No difference
19:50	TEST	Take III
19:50	EXPERIMENT	Let's see
19:50	COCKROACH	This is gonna be a long night, I guess
19:45	TEST	Take II
19:44	CONFIRMED	"No Business" in sickbay works, though
19:44	FIXED	Quick beam de-spawn issue

18:45	MAPSCRIPT	Beam set up from sickbay to staff
18:29	KTHURA	Sweet Kthura help me out here
18:28	NOTE	This is not linked properly yet, though
18:24	MAPSCRIPT	Beam
18:11	STATUS	Now the harder part.... The transporter
17:53	CONFIRMED	It works!
17:21	TEST	Take I
17:21	STATUS	Testing time
17:20	SCENARIO	I've also altered a scenario so it would autolink better with the new version of the game...
17:19	NOTE	And that should prevent future conflicts with my builders
17:19	C#	I've enhanced my scenario editor... Now it's autosave feature will only save at fixed intervals in there were actually modifications
1:33	STATUS	That will do for now
1:26	FIXED	Several things
1:16	TEST	Let's see if this works the way it should work
1:16	SCRIPT	And the doors should be initially open but close behind Wendicka's back (you are NOT supposed to get back into sickbay ever)
1:15	SCRIPT	The system should now hide the stuff not part of the sickbay area
0:16	TEST	Take XII
0:16	VOID	That should take care of that!
0:07	SOLVED	Wait a minute, I THINK I know what caused this....
0:06	HUH	DA FUUUUCK! Unknown compression method "lzma".... I didn't even use that method in my packing scripts... wtf is going on here?
0:03	TEST	Take XI - Should be the final test (I hope)
0:03	DONE	reactivated the boss
0:01	COSMETIC	But a little tweak is required on the Doctor's font I see....
0:01	CONFIRMED	That seems to work
- = 15 Feb 2021 = -
23:54	STATUS	A little break, before I move on to the next take
23:53	LINK	This should now be linked automatically every time the doctor speaks
23:53	FONT	Lobster font by Pablo Impallari coverted into jfbf so the game can pick it up
23:45	BUG	What is an issue though is that the Doctor's font doesn't load... Now the font I used before may not be the best font in the new engine, but I gotta try
23:44	VOID	No longer an issue
23:43	BUG	Okay, the system does demand a foe list, even though when there are no foes in a certain map
23:41	TEST	Take IX
23:41	VOID	Make sure that if the wind direction of the "PLAYER" actor is not set, it will automatically assume "NORTH". This to prevent crashes
23:27	TEST	Take VIII
23:27	NOTE	Some maps really don't have music. I made sure these maps can just be loaded, and use the "Silence.ogg" file to prevent further trouble.
23:26	NOTE	Now the music can change during the course in this particular map, however since you cannot save your game here, that doesn't really matter, does it?
23:24	HUH	Your card doesn't support overlay No pts value from demuxer to use for frame! pts after filters MISSING Possibly bad interleaving detected. Use -ni option if this causes playback issues and avoid or fix the program that created the file. WTF is that supposed to mean? It concerns the Blip Stream tune... Well, since it plays fine no need to make a big fuss about it, right?
23:22	MUSIC	"Blip Stream" by Kevin McLeod linked to Excalibur when in "All quiet" mode
22:58	TEST	Take VII
22:58	VOID	FUCK THAT!
22:52	TEST	Take VI
22:45	VOID	Voided that issue (I can't speak of a 'fix' here. Microsoft caused this issue and never fixed it either).
22:44	FAILURE	Or rather another punch I should give to the moron who introduced \ as directory separator in DOS
22:44	BUG	But leads to another crash
22:44	CONFIRMED	The chain now appears to be working
22:42	TEST	Take V
22:42	FIXED	Another typo
22:42	FUCKYOU	GRRR!
22:41	TEST	Take IV
22:41	FIXED	Code typo
22:40	TEST	Take III
22:40	VOID	Does that solve the problem?
22:39	CHEAT	I've done things a bit differently
22:36	TECHNO	It really does seem to be a scheduling conflict.... Let's sort this out
22:33	NOTE	Let's see why the road to sickbay isn't done then....
22:33	DONE	a bit of a slowdown then?
22:11	MYSTERY	For some reason, the fade-out, and the transfer to the Excalibur sickbay are completely ignored... Of course, this could also be due to this being a schedule inside a schedule? (Should not be the reason, as not even the map loads)
21:39	FIXED	Color issue
21:33	TEST	Take I
21:32	NOTE	What should and what is, are always two different things, so testing is in order.
21:32	SCRIPT	All the script that comes after the boss SHOULD work now....
21:10	KTHURA	Some "evil names" set right.... I didn't like that original setup and since the mapscript have not yet been set up, things are a bit easier.
21:03	VISUALSTUDIO	Time to compile... again....
21:02	APOLLO	Always in development ;)
21:02	C++	Sleep API
20:55	FIXED	Fixed that
20:55	FAILURE	Oh yeah, who was it who came up with \ in stead of / for directory sperators?
20:54	CONVERT	And converted it to .ogg, as for some reason it was still .wav
20:54	RECOVERED	That should do it
20:53	TRANSFER	Well it was used before in Scyndi's forest quest
20:52	AUDIO	No explosion audio
20:24	FIXED	A few minor things (I hope)
20:16	TEST	So let's see.....
20:16	MAPSCRIPT	The easy part is done (I think), but the easier the code, the more bugs pop up for some odd reason
20:16	NEIL	I gotta love it that Neil supports conditional compiling :P
20:15	DEBUG	Now that I know that the boss fight itself works, I'll focus on getting the event around it to work properly, and that ain't as easy it you may think it is, so I temporarily turned off the boss fight
15:37	OFFTOPIC	Dang!
15:11	TEST	Take VIII
15:10	VOID	WTF?
15:06	TEST	Take VII
15:05	BOOST	A few more levels for the boss
15:05	FIXED	Forgotten schedule
15:05	COSMETIC	clearup issue fix
14:59	TEST	Take VI
14:59	FIXED	Bad stat definition
14:55	TEST	Take V
14:54	VISUALSTUDIO	So I need to compile again
14:54	C++	That was a bug in my C++ code
14:54	FIXED	Removal from party impossible due to bug in the checker
14:50	TEST	Take IV
14:50	NOTE	(And I did not yet get to test the boss fight... sheesh)
14:50	FIXED	Another syntax error
14:47	TEST	Take III
14:47	FIXED	Scope error
14:47	STUPIDITY	Ah, now I see!
14:44	TEST	Take II
14:44	HUH	?
14:38	TEST	Take I
14:38	STATUS	But first, the fight itself
14:38	DEBUG	I can quickly turn the fight itself off for testing the events that come next... Due to their complexity I'm afraid that's needed
14:18	NOTE	A safety crash will be put in place after the boss... This to prevent some spooking up on things....
14:18	MAPSCRIPT	Boss set up
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 41 42 43 44 45 46 47 48 49 50 51 52 53 54 55 56 57 58 59
