Tricky CC

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.....

I hope I can cover the mines of Airom properly now

Oh, I changed the names of the junk colleciton areas to names more fitting for the current political situation

Let's go for the Eugorvnia caves

#170

Another day, let's get things done.

Time to call it though

The decimal error in Eugorvnia Caves. I already had my suspicions

Apparently this fixes the issue. Not sure how this could happen, though.

Talked enough let's resume the action

Now I also tested the sideway in the Volcania plains dungeon

It goes without saying also that this means the Flower Jungle has been succesfully tested

Oh yeah, I guess it was obvious I was testing Excalibur now

Did I fix it?

No "LeaveTrans"? My source code says otherwise

With that the end of the final alpha is coming near, at least!

Eugorvnia science facility II

Time now to set Marlon's Garden in order

Testing of the graveyard concluded

Let's go... again!

For the casual mode no changes

Higher level boss graveyard in hard mode

Lower level in easy mode, boss Graveyard

And let's resume the test!

Boss in Dark Graveyard really had the wrong level calculation. That has been fixed

Let's resume the action!

Syntax error

Don't be too fast, Jeroen

Belioss

Testing will go along the way, but for now this will do

Not that it mattesr for Star Story anymore, though, but for "The Fairy Tale REVAMPED","63 fires of lung" and "Star Story II" (the latter two in particular) this will still matter

And this will make my work in Kthura much easier

Some updates for June19

Void confirmed

In which I am now testing Frendor bushes of the "Phantasar" sidequest

Updating the alpha

And I lost a lot of fucking data with that crash too.

And I hope that covers them all now!

Well, let's void that for Blizzard.

Crash in multi target spellani (that famous impossible cockroach that keeps popping up)

#167 Must be easy to fix, however, this is not yet important to make the game go into beta. It's only cosmetic after all.

Black Castle (side quest tested)

Alpha done up to the point where the first stuff on Nizozemska is done

Complete up to Volcania completed

Oh, I see #165 was already fixed... Closed it!

Let's roll it!

vUpdate

Updating

For now I'll close #166, however I *is* possible things are not in order yet!

But I'll continue that later today

The Alpha is by the way up to the point where I gotta start on Volcania

Only on the next wipe I'll know if this works, as this is hard to test at the present time, but for now this will do.

I'll force my way though then

It's that fucking scheduling conflict again... I'm gonna go to very drastic measures now!

#166

Completed up to the point where Crystal has to fight her solo-boss

This particular bug however will need to be looked at when I got my debugger fully turned back on, as this is a rather complex one, I'm afraid

#166

I've tested the game up to the point where you get onto the Hawk.... So far so good.

Let's continue in the Dark Caves

Ah, a miscalculation in Neil's bug for decimals without leading zero

For some odd reason the boss' level in the Dark Caves in incredibly high in the easy mode

Yaqirpa completed

A few important things came in between, however I got myself a start up savegame now in the Yaqirpa

Starting an easy-mode game in order to make the final alpha test myself. I do hope my alpha tester can also do a bit more before XMas as I really hope I can release the game as beta before 2022

Fixed at last!

Take III

Will THIS do the trick then?
