I looks like ISGET is for some reason making pure Lua calls, while it should be based on Neil.... I need to check this out, though

Did this affect the code? (Take XII)

Stuff taken care off?

Geany is acting up on me a bit....

Fix ignored???

Take XI

A certain local function had to be declared as a global (or interstate data traffic wouldn't be possible)

Take X

Illegal function call

Take IX

Compiling

That should link it all

Neil code

Wrote access to this

Ah, I see

No "data"?

Take VIII

barf

Fixed that

Some connections between script and engine are not in order, I see

Take VII

Fixed that

Yup, it was a bug!

The item spots have all been seen but also all been skipped... Question is if this is coincidence due to the random routine, or if this is actually a bug.... I think the latter, though....

No more crashes, but I need to check the log to see more... I didn't see any items in the field, but due to my limit possibilities at the present time, that's not a very viable source of information

Take VI

Did I void it now?

Take V

So let's force Neil to dump out its translation

Lua insists on an unexpected ) that Neil should never be able to create at that point

Take IV

Some chopping faults neil produces (I think)

Take III

Identifier issue

Take II

"end" too many

Okay, testing time -- Take ONE!

Nerd humor!

Well, that hit da spot!

After that the test can begin! ;)

I am hungry, I need to feed myself, and the clock also tells me I need to fill my cat's food bowl as well, so let's take care of that serious issue first!

Trith is that I do not expect anything to work at all, as this is pretty delecate code, however now all code that should lead to a result as at least been written allowing me to start an actual test....

When everything works the way it should Wendicka will leave the item itself be, but her arrival should cause a message to be generated in my debug log, allowing me to test if everything works

I've set up the routine which will allow Wendicka to walk to the item

And now it appears to work!

Again!

Syntax error in API

Compiling!

And that should link it all together

Neil code

API set up to make it possible for Apollo to create new Kthura objects of any kind and not just actors

It's late now... I hope I can get into the deep of all this tomorrow....

Assuming everything works the way it should (which is as I cannot test yet, far from certain) adding items to the field should be easy now, however I must take in mind that a few adaptions to the Apollo engine could be needed, as spawning actors is already possible but creating other kinds of Kthura objects may not yet be fully covered....

I've set up a generator which determines which items can be found randomly in a dungeon... This script is also set up to keep in mind that more kinds of items can be added when you enter the same dungeon during later cycles

I had to set a few things in order ... It's been a long time, so you cannot expect me to remember everything

I will do things a bit different than in the original game. In the original game you merely had to come close to an item to pick it up.... On slower computers this is bound to cause lags. In order to get rid of that I decided to make all items in the field clickables. This can make you miss some items in longer runs when you merely use Dijkstra to get to the next floor in one click as the heroes will no longer pick up items they come past, but it saves so much CPU speed in the process (as I now only have to check stuff whe you actually click something) I'll take that as a valid price to pay.

The way things are now cannot be tested... I cannot tell if this works now.... But from here I can set up the system that places items at random in dungeons

And now a headache is getting the better of me

Sub itself

More linkup done

I've set up some linkup code for Inventory read-outs

Big backup running now... May take longer than one day, but it's needed sometimes

The next step should be to make it possible for items to appear in the dungeons. After all, no items, no inventory

Take III

Coordinate fix

Wrong color fixed

The basis works, but some more work is required

Take II

That!

I wish I could say that for the inventory code

At least it appers the link works

Take I

Does it work?

Done

That is once I linked it to the core part

All it does is show the sockets... No items are there yet!

A start to the inventory screen

Loader will see this now

Graphic check

Icon

A full database in once (as I need for achievements) comes later!

MyData should now be able to export to Neil record by record

MyData is now faster when saving big databases!

IAA database adapted for the new version of the project

One of the first things to do next will likely be to adapt MyData in order to support exporting to Neil, plus I need to make some adaptions anyway, as the original database was for the BlitzMax versions of MyData

#33

First, a break!

I do wanna make a few changes, though, but that's a later concern... That's just configuration

Stuff works now!

Take IV

You kidding me?

Take III

I hope

Not bad! But the percentages are not written THROUGH the icon

Take II

Minor

Let's see -- Take I

Status resistance should now be shown

Well, if I can put on the elemental resistances now, we're set!

Always nice, since math wonders

And Wendicka's "Fatal" and "Absorb" enforcement for water and lightining respectively also work.

The elemental resistances work now

Take XII

Code typo

Take XI

An element that had to be listed added to case chain

Take X

Also funny is that the "string" addition is not longer coming in error (which also never happened in the first place, but its disappearance is just as mysterious as its appearance).

Repeated crap

what?

Take IX

Well, let's see!

So I added a few extra debug lines

Math with string is the complaint.... The functions used should however return numbers.... I need to sort out how that can happen!

Take VIII

Crash due to mispelled filename

Take VII

I think I fixed

Ah.... This was why

Error that doesn't make sense.... The traceback data doesn't seem to in line with anything possible

Take VI

I think I fixed the "nil" value produced

Take V

Missing declaration

Take VI

Syntax error

Take V

Elemental resistances should be shown now (I hope)

Take IV

WTF?

Take III

Syntax error

Take II

IDIOT!

Let's go! Take I

I've made the elemental icons appear on the status screen

Link up so the values in resistances can be generated and used

Whatever

Missing ) x4

Take IV

Bad function type

Take III (oh should I restart the numbering now?)

This is an unrelated syntax error elsewhere, but good thing it's fixed anyway

The loading works

Take II

a few errors , but they were expected

Take I

I need to test if they work, though (while loading I mean)

And the status change icons too

For starters, all status icons should be loaded now

Some real life stuff can block my actions today, but I'll try to do get a few things done

I've done some stuff to handle resistances... But I must rest now... I'll get into the deep of this later!

The others come later!

and Briggs

Same done with Crystal

Wendicka Resistance settings set up (although Wendicka needs a bit of extra workout due to her "curse"

And a bit more study done

Set basic resistances regarding characters

Study about resistances, as that is something I didn't yet cover

Take X

The order of the stats have now been set in a more logical order from RPG perspective

That works

Take IX

I do need to change the order of things, but that is not that hard

The values should now appear

Take I

The names of the stats should appear

BINGO!

Take VIII

That's only a matter of changing one number

My routine works in the basis, but a bit more speed is desirable

Take VII

I really hate myself for this one

I forgot to add something important to my fading calculation formula

Take VI

Extra debug lines to investigate the matter

I don't believe the outcome

And we move on to take V

Take IV was not announced

Does it work now?

"Not Static" I didn't even ask for that!

...

Take III

Conflict

Take II

A bug in Neil about new object from classes without parameters

Take I

And yup a small adaption was required there too

But before that, I must also check some menu code

I must check if this works though

The flashing of a character being chosen in the field menu

Enhanced the character bar link.... The Party boxes do not respond to this yet, though

Compiling!

Well indeed, stuff appears to auto-link, so that saves me work

Configured for Alpha

First a break

Now this only covers the core.... There's more to this, but that comes later!

Default values
