Session Ident: #coneheads
* Now talking in #coneheads
-L- [#coneheads] Hi, welcome to #coneheads, the Epileptic Fish team channel. If you are not a member of this team then GET OUT!
<Darty> Good... morning. -_-
<DaveGilbert> Hey dart!
<DaveGilbert> mad dash to the finish
<Darty> Alright, send me that new beta version quick! :D
<DaveGilbert> it starts in the end room, but just do a control-x to get back to room 1
<DaveGilbert> just make sure you pick the player character to answer the phone! :)
<Darty> Okay. -_-
<Darty> Hey, I don't feel sleepy anymore. :D
<Darty> Time for some hardcore testing. :P
<Darty> Erm... the game freezes everytime I try to use CTRL X.
<DaveGilbert> gah?
<Darty> Nevermind...
<Darty> It only works in some rooms, and some rooms it doesn't.
<DaveGilbert> ok
<DaveGilbert> ok, first part of puzzle finished.  now to code the spell casting bit
<DaveGilbert> GAH
* DaveGilbert stresses out
<Darty> Davey... Whenever the twins try to talk to each other, they won't stop.
<Darty> They keep aying "Doing all right, Tim" and then "Yeah I'm holding up okay" for an endless loop. -_-
<DaveGilbert> oh right. I fixed that in this version.
<DaveGilbert> hold on
<Darty> K.
<DaveGilbert> it's the same link. should be uploaded in a few mins
<Darty> Okay. Thanks. :D
<DaveGilbert> ok uploaded
<Darty> Erm... In this version, I can't exit the dialog tree between Tif and Tim.
<Darty> So basically once I talk to them, I can't stop. -_-
<DaveGilbert> really?
<DaveGilbert> GAH
<Darty> Yeah.
<DaveGilbert> thought I fixed that.
<DaveGilbert> hold on
<Darty> K.
<DaveGilbert> ah. oops. :-$
<DaveGilbert> I moved the "exit" line down one option to make room for some more.
<DaveGilbert> forgot to activate it
<YOke> http://home.no.net/thanma/misc/timvswall.png
<DaveGilbert> ok, uploading again.
<YOke> it's shit, but it's the best i can do
<DaveGilbert> that's ok
<DaveGilbert> hey yoke
<DaveGilbert> I noticed one thing with your code
<DaveGilbert> the "follow" works fine with the twin is in the cave, the twin says "he/she can't come in"
<DaveGilbert> then if I switch to the other twin, it won't let me switch back
<YOke> ok
<YOke> oh?
<DaveGilbert> But I can still click "follow" and the other twin comes back in
<DaveGilbert> here, I'll upload a quick source
<DaveGilbert> dart, the beta is uploaded
<Darty> w00t.
<YOke> oh... i think i know the problem
<DaveGilbert> www.davelgil.com/ags/kindsource.zip if you are so include
<DaveGilbert> inclined
<YOke> heh... i was tired and stupid :)
<DaveGilbert> bad yoke
<DaveGilbert> no cookie
<YOke> http://home.no.net/thanma/misc/kindsource6.rar
<YOke> fixed
<Darty> Erm... Davey?
<Darty> I still get stuck whenever I try to enter the mansion.
<DaveGilbert> what happens?
<Darty> Well, whenever I walk to the mansion gate and open the door, I get stuck on the upper floor.
<Darty> Upper floor of the mansion.*
<DaveGilbert> Ah. OK. I see what happened.
<DaveGilbert> My GOD.
<DaveGilbert> Time's almost up
<Darty> We still have an hour.
<Darty> Don't worry.
<YOke> heh
<Darty> I'm beta-testing and it's all been good up to the mansion point.
<Darty> I know how to get around the mansion bug, so I'll just do that now.
<Darty> BRB.
<YOke> it is in an hour
<DaveGilbert> GAh
* DaveGilbert catches breath
<DaveGilbert> BRAAAAAAAAAAAGGGHHHHHH!
<YOke> what's left to code?
<DaveGilbert> ok
<DaveGilbert> feel better now
<DaveGilbert> finishing up the last scene.  
<DaveGilbert> The intro
<Darty> Erm, whenever I click on 'open mansion' in the mansion gate, the character immediately goes inside without walking to the mansion door.
<DaveGilbert> which shouldn't take too long
<DaveGilbert> ok, that's fixed now darty
<DaveGilbert> and want to add some descrptions to objects if there is time
<YOke> check the walkto points in all the mansiom rooms
<YOke> something funny is going on there
<Darty> Er... there are still two waxes.
<Darty> -_-
<DaveGilbert> thought I fixed that too
<Darty> Maybe it's because I went 'use beehive' AND 'get beehive' at the bee farm.
<Darty> Might've caused that.
<DaveGilbert> I thought I set a flag for that
<DaveGilbert> kay, I'm going to FINISH this last scene and then you can bombard me with bugs. :)
<DaveGilbert> I can breath a little, knowing that I have one more hour
<Darty> There's no 'look at circle' message in the mansion basement.
<Darty> The game freezes when I go to the cliff from the map screen.
<DaveGilbert> IT WORKS
<DaveGilbert> THE LAST PUZZLE FRIGGING WORKS
<DaveGilbert> albeit with a messload of bugs, BUT IT WORKS!
<DaveGilbert> Hm, that's weird Dart.
<DaveGilbert> I'll check
<Darty> Oooh. Okay.
<DaveGilbert> ok, I fixed that
<DaveGilbert> the crashing-entering-the-cliff thing
<DaveGilbert> Yoke!
<Darty> This is weird... When I choose the option 'Close book' while reading the book, the characters go directly to the last room in the game.
<DaveGilbert> Ohhh NUTS
<DaveGilbert> i know what I did. :)
<DaveGilbert> hold o
<DaveGilbert> n
<YOke> did the animation of tim work out at all?
<DaveGilbert> trying it now
* DaveGilbert sees light at end of tunnel
<Darty> You fixed the mansion thing, right?
<DaveGilbert> yeah
<Darty> Because that was the main bug.
<DaveGilbert> yoke. you awake?
<YOke> yup
<DaveGilbert> two things
<DaveGilbert> one- can you tell me what you did to the source?
<DaveGilbert> Since I changed so much, I wouldn't want to just replace the file.
<DaveGilbert> Is it something you can explain easily?
<YOke> the follow thing?
<DaveGilbert> yeah
<YOke> it's a series of if's
<YOke> if the player character is in a certain room when they turn on follow (or switch with follow turned on) it will check where the non-playing character is and set the proper coordinates for them to appear at
<YOke> what's not working?
<DaveGilbert> well what did you fix?
<DaveGilbert> Can you just send me a .txt with the code and I'll paste it?  Is it majorly conmplicated?
<Darty> Did you add the cutscene at the very beginning yet, Davey?
<YOke> no... it requires a total replacement on the switch character code
<DaveGilbert> not yet darty
<DaveGilbert> ok yoke. is it just the global script that is changed?
<YOke> yeah. just the switch character bit. i got things a bit backwards there in my first try
<YOke> nah
<YOke> it works perfectly now
<YOke> http://home.no.net/thanma/misc/replacementcode.txt
<DaveGilbert> the link doesn't work. :(
<YOke> doh!
<YOke> http://home.no.net/thanma/posted/replacementcode.txt
<YOke> there :)
<DaveGilbert> heh thanks
* DaveGilbert saves a copy of the original global script in notepad jUST IN CASE
<YOke> just replace the switch character function. nothing else
<Darty> When you open/close the door to the cliff in the underground cavern, the animation of pushing is still displayed...
<Darty> ...even after the door is already open.
<DaveGilbert> ok. it compiled.  I'll just assume it works
<DaveGilbert> ah, thanks dart.
<YOke> 20 minutes!!!! argh!!!
<Darty> We'll be fine, we'll be fine.
<Darty> I'm sure Andy wouldn't mind if we handed it 2 minutes after.
<YOke> i know! i just can't comprehend it :)
<DaveGilbert> ok, think that's fixed dart
<Darty> Alrighty.
<DaveGilbert> kay, now you can go into the lair room from the hallway
<YOke> soon this will all be over.
<Darty> Allll over. :D
<YOke> all the hours of work...
<Darty> Unless we release a final FINAL version with all of the bugs fixed.
<YOke> we have to. doubly so if we win
<YOke> how long playtime would you say our game has?
<Darty> A lot.
<YOke> 1.5-2 hours?
<Darty> It took me about 30-45 minutes to complete the game...
<Darty> Knowing all of the puzzles before-hand.
<YOke> damn
<Darty> Well, most of them anyway.
<YOke> that's excelelnt!!! :)
<YOke> heh
<Darty> People would have trouble with the bees and bird, I would think.
<YOke> excellent*+
<Darty> Probably take them 20 minutes or so to figure out, I'm guessing.
<YOke> of shucks!
<YOke> i just remembered i forgot to add the box to the shop interior!
<YOke> haha
<Darty> Hahaha... ha? -_-
<Darty> Vel's game is 11-12 rooms long.
<DaveGilbert> Yoke - i did that. :)
<Darty> I think his team and our team are the only ones that will hand in our games by the deadline.
<YOke> i noticed. it will be very exiting to see what they have come up with
<YOke> good one, dave! ;)
<DaveGilbert> I'm trying! I'm trying!
<YOke> a lot left?
<DaveGilbert> still fixing the last puzzle! :(
<YOke> big problem, or just a matter of tweaking?
<DaveGilbert> Not sure!
<DaveGilbert> Tweaking mostly
<DaveGilbert> it won't work quite right
<Darty> We don't need to add the beginning cutscene for this version, Davey.
<YOke> what's the problem?
<Darty> We can just do for our finalized version after the ATC ends.
<DaveGilbert> ok, Ithink I'm just going to forget about the intro text
<DaveGilbert> and just quickly put on the splash screen
<DaveGilbert> soon as I figure this out
<DaveGilbert> heh ok
<DaveGilbert> think I figured it out!
<YOke> yay!
<YOke> go gilbert!
<DaveGilbert> i hope
<Darty> Go go gadget Gilbert!
<Darty> o_O
<DaveGilbert> GAAAARRRRGGGGHHH!
<YOke> i guess that's a no
<YOke> what's the problem dave?
* Darty is lucky she isn't the coder for this team
<DaveGilbert> somehow i must have copied/pasted my code by accident
<DaveGilbert> so the code is doubled and causing all sort of errors
<DaveGilbert> see what happens when I'm rusheD!
<YOke> aha
<Darty> We have plenty of time, Davey.
<YOke> just remember to breathe (the most redundant piece of advice ever)
<DaveGilbert> hah
<DaveGilbert> actually, that's good advice
<DaveGilbert> okay, i got it sussed
<DaveGilbert> just set the wrong animation view. ;)
<Darty> :D :D
<Darty> Once you're done uploading the new version of the game...
<Darty> Send it to ME. :P
<YOke> and ME!
<YOke> ...and then go to bed!
<Darty> Then I can quickly beta-test it and you can upload the newest version. :P
<YOke> then*
<DaveGilbert> OK
<DaveGilbert> k, one more go
<DaveGilbert> HECK, that tim falling is all wonky. I have an idea
<Darty> And what's this idea, Davey?
<DaveGilbert> tim disappears
<DaveGilbert> when the demon is defeated, tim comes back
<DaveGilbert> ok. finishing the scene
<DaveGilbert> going to end it here, instead of the office
<Darty> 10 minutes. :o
<Darty> Alrighty.
<Darty> Hah, maybe Tif and Tim can play Candyland right in the cave. :P
* DaveGilbert tries to breath
* Darty breathes for Davey
* YOke holds his breath for Davey
<DaveGilbert> ok, it sort of works.  Needs tweaking. :)
<Darty> When did Taily go to sleep? -_-
<DaveGilbert> is this game not hi-color?
<YOke> it is hi-color
<YOke> how so?
<DaveGilbert> transparency doesn't work. :(
<YOke> ?
<YOke> in what context?
<DaveGilbert> trying to make the portal fade away, but I don't want to waste time figuring it out
<YOke> SetObjectTransparency doesn't work?
<DaveGilbert> nope. :(
<Darty> Gwah. :/
<YOke> bah
<YOke> later
<Darty> You're leaving, Yokey? -_-
<DaveGilbert> Yoke wait!
<YOke> no... we'll fix the bug later
<DaveGilbert> where's your tiff candy land animation?
<YOke> uhh...
<YOke> http://home.no.net/thanma/misc/candytalk.png
<DaveGilbert> ok, almost done
<DaveGilbert> kay, testing now
<YOke> at least when one has been up all night finishing the damn thing
<Darty> Yeah, and Vel's game has tons of bugs in it as well.
<DaveGilbert> k, one more test
<DaveGilbert> almost got it!
<Darty> :S
<Darty> :D*
<DaveGilbert> OK. think i got it
<Darty> That's better than almost getting it. :D
<YOke> COME ON!!! Get this game uploaded so I can let my shoulders down for the first time in a month!!!
<YOke> ;)
<DaveGilbert> DONE
<YOke> *exhales*
<DaveGilbert> do you want to beta quickly?
<YOke> upload
<DaveGilbert> qhile you beta, I'll add the splash screen and do a "the end" screen"
<YOke> we'll replace it if it needs to be replaced
<DaveGilbert> ok
<Darty> K.
* Darty prepares for some speed-betaing.
<DaveGilbert> dart! quick- where's your splash?
<Darty> Hold up.
<Darty> http://www.2dadventure.com/ags/titledraft.bmp
<Darty> Bing!
<Darty> I think Andy's gonna PM you now.
<Darty> He's the first active in the forums. -_-
<DaveGilbert> he hasn't yet
<DaveGilbert> dart, did you do a "the end" screem"
<DaveGilbert> ?
<Darty> Nope.
<DaveGilbert> oh heck, I'l just make the game quit
<Darty> Want me to really quickly?
<DaveGilbert> If you can. :-D
<Darty> Photoshop error!
<Darty> Aaah.
<Darty> I'll need to restart my comp.
<Darty> Just make it quit. -_-
<DaveGilbert> gonna play the map music over the splash
<DaveGilbert> one more go to make sure it works
<Darty> Or you can just play the credits screen over the splash
<Darty> .*
<DaveGilbert> forgot to hide the player character! gah
<YOke> haha! :)
<YOke> dave is getting an ulcer... ;)
<DaveGilbert> THE RESTORE GUI WON'T POP UP

<Darty> Say that you weren't thinking right after spending ALL night on the game.
<Darty> :D
<DaveGilbert> guess I can change it, just in case
<Darty> I guess it's too late, but a very simple "The End": http://www.2dadventure.com/ags/theend.bmp
<DaveGilbert> ok DONE
<DaveGilbert> hm. i didn't have time to write a dialog when you enter the lair. hope it makes sense.
<Darty> It's fine without the dialog, Davey. :)
<Darty> So... are we finally finished for today?
<YOke> now, go to bed!
<Darty> Or shall I do some mad beta-testing right now?
