Live DevLog

18 Aug 2017
18:56:25	FAILURE	And let's close down the monster called "browser" ... If the system lags.... shut down the browser... Always works...
18:55:52	CONCLUSION	Ah, I found the "evil"
18:52:37	FAILURE	As I was trying to say.... I deem it possible that due to the system lags (most likely also responsible for the failure below), I deep it possible my builder picked up outdated code
18:52:01	FAILURE	The system removed my item while I was typing WITHOUT ANY REASON AT ALL!!!! Long live modern computers, folks!
18:50:01	COCKROACH	Code ignored
18:00:12	FIXED	Illegal table readout
17:14:37	MAP	The base of the outcropping is done... Some cosmetic fine tuning is in order, but at least this is workable.
16:57:30	UPDATED	#9
16:57:24	ART	Zamzi
15:31:47	CLEANUP	Some shit in the Kthura directory removed
15:26:11	OFFTOPIC	I stumbled upon Zero Install... I need to properly study it, and maybe this game (and some of my earlier work) will be available through it.
15:19:29	WINDOWS	Synchronizing.... again....
15:03:33	WINDOWS	Synchronizing
15:01:54	WINDOWS	Let's try it again
15:01:32	WINDOWS	I've rewritten a few things
15:01:21	FAILURE	Always MINGW
14:51:21	WINDOWS	Module synchronisation
14:37:46	UPGRADE	Some personal software upgrades
14:37:20	SITE	Added tag UPGRADE
14:32:52	MAP	And so I could complete at least a small portion of stuff
14:26:21	FIXED	Cosmetic issue
14:17:11	FIXED	Fixed that in a way that will never allow this bug from happening again no matter how many panels I add.
14:16:29	CONCLUSION	Right, the modify tab is to blame... I should've known....
14:16:09	SITE	Added tag CONCLUSION
14:15:06	KTHURA	I've colored all Kthura config panels.... This way I can be 100% sure I see the correct one!
14:09:43	COCKROACH	That was fixed before... How come this is undone?
14:09:33	INVESTIGATION	There still seems to be a panel show issue...
14:02:19	BLITZMAX	So let's fire up BlitzMax again... :-/
14:01:44	KTHURA	The Kthura editor is still bugged after the last big operation, so I need to see what can be done to fix that... :-/
13:47:20	MAP	I've tried to set up a start of the starting map... But... many things seem wrong. The config window is not acting like it should....
13:47:16	SITE	Added tag MAP
12:55:27	DONE	After the start config just a black blank screen... It will be that way until I had the possibility to set things up.
12:54:56	ART	Alternate set that can help me to allow "top" view...
12:39:13	ART	The Dark Cave Base Tile Set recycled from Dyrt (Black Dragon Cave).
10:33:27	STATUS	Now it's time to make it possible to start a game... Best is to first make an empty routine that will for now just link to the game (which will, of course eventually be used to contact GJ and Anna). When it comes to the game I need of course the Lua version of the Kthura map system. Best approach there is to design a map first, so I can see immediately the results in game when things are going.... I need to sort this out a bit... :-/
17 Aug 2017
22:45:06	NOTE	And there I'm gonna call it!
22:45:00	CONFIG	Backup Tool
22:44:39	BACKUP	Running Daily Backup
22:44:15	STATUS	And that's where it ends. The game start up routines and (of course) Kthura Map System porting, and then we can FINALLY begin. ;)
22:43:38	CONFIRMED	Ok!
22:42:47	FIXED	Visibility Error
22:38:04	NOTE	For now this button will crash the game as there is no way to enter the game itself yet.
22:37:30	DONE	"Next" button set
22:35:47	FIXED	Check error

22:34:56	FIXED	Color error
22:33:56	FIXED	Ref error
22:20:44	FIXED	Illegal table index
22:19:24	FIXED	Fixed that!
22:12:31	BUG	But a "nil" crash pops up
22:12:20	DONE	Fields are there
22:04:14	FIXED	Linkback error
22:01:07	DONE	From Anna to GameJolt is now possible.
21:57:45	ANNA	Actual logging in comes at a later stage... I'm now gonna set up the log in screen for Game Jolt
21:46:28	FIXED	A bug in Anna that was lingering there for awhile
21:31:00	CLEANUP	To prevent any sort of abuse I've banned the test account
21:28:43	ANNA	And from now on the Game can create Anna accounts...
21:28:29	JUDGMENT	It appears to be working now
21:23:50	FIXED	nil
21:15:20	FIXED	Secu code generation error.
21:15:06	FIXED	Type mismatch
21:12:58	BUG	"Nil" AAAH?
21:12:31	JUDGMENT	That looks better
21:10:29	COSMETIC	Pivot moved
21:10:23	SITE	Added tag COSMETIC
21:09:20	FIXED	Wrong linkup
21:08:12	FIXED	Parse Errors

19:23:00	OFFTOPIC	SOY BARCELONA SÓC BARCELONA
19:22:43	SITE	Added tag OFFTOPIC
17:59:21	DONE	Backspace no event
17:59:15	DONE	"Typing" event
17:53:41	FIXED	nil-transfer
17:51:14	FIXED	Those issues are fixed
17:49:38	BUG	Although it does not workthe way it should... yet...
17:49:29	DONE	Textfields
17:28:10	CONFIRMED	And I can confirm that chosing for Anna or skipping Anna works
17:27:40	DONE	A base of the Game Jolt Login Screen
17:25:38	CONFIRMED	that fix
17:07:32	FIXED	I think I fixed it... Or at least I hope so
17:06:01	BUG	??? An infinite loop leading to a stack overflow.... Now how is that possible?
17:04:32	FIXED	Order error
17:04:27	DONE	A base of the Anna login screen
16:28:04	SOLVED	I think I solved the mystery
16:25:47	DEBUG	Based on this data not ignoring should be possible, so let's sort this out: X-EVENT font for: afterdraw > function X-EVENT font for: keypressed > function X-EVENT font for: keyreleased > function X-EVENT font for: mousepressed > function X-EVENT font for: mousereleased > function X-EVENT font for: update > function
16:23:25	COCKROACH	This could prove to be a long go as mouse clicks appear to be ignored...
16:17:33	FIXED	A few confusing under-the-hood-errors
16:11:33	ENHANCEMENT	Better mouse capturing
15:40:33	STUPIDITY	I only must not be too fast leaving parse errors behind.
15:40:22	SOLVED	I think I found it
15:37:44	DEBUG	Maybe this debug line provides me some answers how the impossible becomes possible
15:34:17	BUG	But NOT I got a very strange error.... :-/
15:34:01	FIXED	Pivot Crash
15:23:27	STATUS	Yay! We have a start screen showing the logo of Morker :P
15:21:28	FIXED	Well it's fixed, and that's what matters....
15:21:15	STUPIDITY	Definition/declaration error
15:20:32	ENHANCEMENT	Set up a draw feature for when none is given
15:16:49	FIXED	bad startup go
15:16:39	FIXED	Gadget Without kind
15:01:11	BUG	Aha! Depite I said "NO" the system is still trying to import itself causing a stack overflow
14:55:36	DEBUG	Set up a debug startup script
14:55:32	SITE	Added tag DEBUG
14:55:12	LUA	a (buggy) base
14:10:01	NOTE	Starting the game will result into an error now. That is supposed to happen. That's what you get for trying to open half-baked code :P
14:09:23	CONFIRMED	Config written
13:51:00	LUA	I've set up a chain+lunarmorica-merger... This can make my life MUCH easier ;)
13:29:24	PHANTASAR	Well I had to take care of some crucial things in The Fairy Tale REVAMPED :(
08:10:38	NOTE	Well some serious bugs were reported on The Fairy Tale, so I guess it goes without saying they have priority now...
16 Aug 2017
23:46:42	NOTE	see ya!
23:46:29	NOTE	And with that note I'm calling it a day!
23:46:03	LIST	#7
23:44:15	SITE	Added tag LIST
23:32:38	STATUS	When I got Kthura covered in Love I got the most important obstacle out of the way. Since Kthura will export all its maps into Lua format I don't have to write a loader, but I still need to write a Core and a drawer so there is still A LOT to do here After that I need to set up the basic adventure scripter in Love. This sounds easier than it is, trust me The idea is that when no savegame files exist a new game will automatically start, if it does exist you should get a small menu asking you what you want. When that is done, I will still require some work on the interface Full animations on the Kthura sprite in all 4 wind directions And the first map Kthura can walk on All in all I still got a lot to do before I actually got something playable.
23:29:13	BACKUP	Daily Backup
23:28:31	CONFIG	Backup Tool
23:27:12	KTHURA	Given the time I think it goes without saying that the Lua version of the Kthura displayer will NOT be done today at all...
23:23:53	DEVLOG	"Closed" icon :P
23:20:44	CLOSED	Tricky1975/Kthura#53
23:20:40	SITE	Added tag CLOSED
23:18:22	TODO	Tricky1975/Kthura#62
23:04:14	KTHURA	Possible now to link the saver to the Lua exporter... This is not yet supported for Python.
22:34:21	JUDGMENT	At least no parse errors
22:34:11	SOLVED	that
22:26:58	BLITZMAX	Compilation conflict
22:25:23	KTHURA	Bundle support
22:04:34	KTHURA	That is when it comes to the pic-kind support, since we do also have to deal with making Kthura able to load picbundles... And that can be a chore as ALL separate kinds... PLUS the editor will have to be adapted... Wish me luck on that one.
22:02:59	KTHURA	And that updates Kthura fully for editing.
22:02:13	FIXED	And that bug is also out of the way
21:55:24	FIXED	One crasher out of the way
21:48:19	SOLVED	Found the bugger... It was a division by zero error I was hoping Blitz had better error support for that
21:44:49	FAILURE	Kthura keeps crashing without throwing a proper error message, and that is getting on my nerves
21:24:49	CONFIRMED	that fix
21:23:11	FIXED	Repetition bug... At the cost of no scaling support in repetition.
21:13:55	FIXED	Panels
21:09:14	FIXED	ANOTHER out of bound error :-/
21:04:27	FIXED	Memory out of bounds error
21:00:16	FIXED	Rep issues
20:56:47	FIXED	Bad linkup
20:46:08	FIXED	"Updated" icon
20:40:09	NOTE	This is not yet tested!
20:40:01	KTHURA	Updates to the drawing core
20:39:52	KTHURA	Editor updated
20:10:08	KTHURA	Picture Tab Created
20:00:40	UPDATED	#6
19:19:56	BLITZMAX	Recompiled
19:17:47	FIXED	Folder architecture not properly taken in mind in Love2d
18:58:28	UPDATED	#2
18:58:24	SITE	Added tag UPDATED
18:52:34	BLITZMAX	Version number update
18:51:00	BLITZMAX	Another initfile2 set over to Gini
17:50:28	LOVE2D	As the Windows modules are outdated for Blitzmax it will take awhile before I can recompile the builder for Windows. I will update the builder soon, though...
17:45:29	JUDGMENT	It works! ;)
17:45:20	TEST	Putting it to the test
17:30:02	LOVE2D	I had to adapt my Mac builder in my Love Builder, as I overlooked the fact that the Love2D works with symlinks in the Mac Applications. Something BlitzMax (in which the builder is written) does not support, so I need to rely on the zip tools a little bit more...
17:27:58	LOVE2D	New versions of Love downloaded
16:48:48	ARCHIVED	LoveBuilder for Love 0.10.0 -- I'll now get onto love 0.10.2 for the love builder... I shall also set the lovebuilder to configure the .love files it creates with this version as requirement...
16:46:38	SITE	Added tag ARCHIVED
16:33:42	KTHURA	When it comes to the Lua Scripting we now come to the point that Operation Kthura can begin. This will be a large operation. However I do want to take care of some stuff first.... :-/
16:31:40	LUA	QGFX should now support it. I have put it into QGFX2 in order for backward compatibility. I need to make sure that BallPlay Cupid remains buildable you know.
14:44:04	LUA	Made the base to make multi-picture possible.
13:57:29	LUA	Gini conversion complete
13:52:57	NOTE	Since the "[OLD]" tag was only needed for some quick backward compatibility of the deprecated predecessor of GINI I've removed support for that in Lua. The only reason why I didn't remove it in BlitzMax already was because it was more trouble than it was worth to remove it :P
13:51:37	LUA	Gini Saver and loader implemented
13:00:26	GAMEJOLT	And I had to fight off another spammer's attack...
12:47:09	DONE	Damn good shower
12:20:04	STUDY	<EOL>
11:29:46	LUA	A fake lister also set up...
11:29:38	LUA	Gini worked out up to the save routine
10:25:06	LUA	Part of Gini translated to Lua (this was planned anyway).
10:24:53	LUA	A few "fake" routines set up to make some more BlitzMax conversions easier
09:16:19	GAMEJOLT	They sure make me work for my title as mod... Those spambots!
15 Aug 2017
23:44:51	MISC	Calling it a day...
23:43:27	CONFIG	Ah yeah, and some reconfiguration of my DevLog tool is in order
23:43:14	BACKUP	Time for my daily backup
23:37:28	FIXED	Well NOW they should be fixed.... Damn!
23:34:26	COCKROACH	More parse errors?
23:32:01	FIXED	Fixed it :P
23:31:56	BLITZMAX	Oh, a lttiel parse error... HOw cute
23:30:44	KTHURA	Given the time now though, I will not update Kthura today anymore, so that will be schedules for tomorrow.
23:29:47	ENHANCEMENT	Better hotspot support... Well at least in the JCR6 read that is.... That makes my life in Kthura a lot easier.
22:57:22	JUDGMENT	IT WORKS!
22:53:25	CONFIRMED	Well the format checker works on the fact that all images must be as big
22:41:54	BLITZMAX	The alternate pic animation loader has been set up. This will make it easier to make texture in Kthura both BlitzMax as Love2D compatible.
21:41:38	BLITZMAX	It was hard to imagine I'd need this tag in a game that will not be written in BlitzMax (or at least not as far as it seems now).
21:41:11	SITE	Added tag BLITZMAX
20:59:39	STATUS	Now before I can begin the project in Love2D I will need to work on Kthura. First of all, I need to take care of it that Love2D can actually read Kthura maps. In order to save code and needless complications, the Kthura Map Editor can export a map into pure Lua code (also in pure Python code, but unfortunately I don't need that). So far the easy part, as I need to make sure Love2D can work with stuff like blockmaps, tagmaps, labelmaps, etc, so there is still a lot to be done on this department. Second, since Love2D has no native support for viewports and tiling, or at least not in the way BlitzMax does, I will be more reliation on obstacles an "pictures". The latter is not yet properly supported in the editor. I will also need to be able to work things out in the editor more properly. The way BlitzMax works with animated pictures is not supported in Love2D. I am planning to set up an alternate unit in Blitzmax for this, so I can do animations more easily in both languages. It will not be hard to adept the Kthura Map Editor for this. All in all I have good faith in getting things to work ;) I will only be LOTS of owrk
20:49:05	LOVE2D	This success brings the decision for Love2D a bit closer.... Not yet final, but closer....
20:44:58	JUDGMENT	SUCCESS!!! ;)
20:44:52	SITE	Added tag JUDGMENT
20:10:33	STATUS	It appears the Pathfinder now does it job....BUT, the data is not yet outputted... That is no trouble at all, really... I just need to work that one out PROPERLY :P
20:09:46	FIXED	Oh, that was easier to find than I though....
20:08:22	BUG	Well it appears, the pathfinder could not find the way, even though it does not through any errors...
20:07:57	FIXED	bank issues
20:03:42	FIXED	import error
20:01:02	FIXED	Well I fixed that...
20:00:56	STUPIDITY	Forgot a very important function in the bank library
19:56:57	FIXED	Ah, the given variable was not nil. Another variable used to define it was thanks to a case error.... which has now been fixed.
19:53:19	FIXED	I've set this up hoping that will 'fix' all this...
