01:27 <Schism> It's fun going back around and reading all the post-scene NPC dialogue. I'd forgotten how enjoyable those simple things are.
01:34 <Schism> Ah yes, this enjoyable trial scene. X3
01:35 <PinkieShy> I'm serious when i saw. Pinkieshy.exe has stopped responding.. After seeing that episode of Steven Universe.. It was just that epic.

01:46 * Schism mutters about what a ripoff Melchior is.
01:47 <Schism> PinkieShy: In this game, there are three sages called Melchior, Gaspar, and Balthazar. o3o
01:51 <Schism> And they each offer their gifts to the savior of the world. Gotta say, I'm amazed, simply amazed that got past the censor department at Nintendo of America.
01:53 <Stormspark> at the time yeah...Nintendo doesn't censor anymore
01:53 <Stormspark> they didn't censor Stick of Truth lol
01:53 <Cepheid> Mmm. Hook Claws. Just need the feather, now.
01:54 <Cepheid> And a stronger whip.
01:55 <Schism> If you've got the right seal, I seem to recall there's one room in the Roots of Yggdrasil which requires just the claws to get into.
01:55 <Stormspark> honestly, the "how did this get past censors" thing that surprised me the most was back in Mists of Pandaria. I saw this on the beta, and I was like it's a joke, there's no way that's going to make it to live...and it did, and is stilli in-game today (granted I haven't played WOW for a year now but they never changed it)
01:55 <Stormspark> https://wow.gamepedia.com/Master_Baiter
01:56 <Cepheid> Not sure I get it.
01:56 <Schism> Heh. Cepheid: You mean the Balthazar, Melchior, and Gaspar bit?
01:57 <Cepheid> Nah, Stormspark's thing.

02:27 <Cepheid> I think it may be all of Nigoro's flash games. But for the moment, the rooms appear to all be empty.

02:41 <ADragonDreaming> You're still hungry, though.
02:42 <Schism> Yes. :(
02:43 <Schism> Hmm. Marle or Lucca... eh, Robo's got cure, I'll bring Lucca.
02:45 <Schism> And of course the first chest I open is a weapon for Marle, heh.
02:51 <Cepheid> Go figure.
02:51 <Cepheid> I spend all that time on a challenge..
02:51 <Cepheid> And it's something for late-game.
02:51 <Cepheid> Which I cannot yet do.
02:52 <Schism> Every time, huh?
02:56 <Cepheid> And with my track record, when I do need this room, I'll have long forgotten about it.
03:02 <Schism> Ah yes, the fight against the R-series. For some reason I thought that this would be the point I fought the computer, but that's not for a while.
03:03 * Cepheid jumps, tries to double jump, ends up falling a screen down and plants into the ground. "I need that feather."

05:16 *** Joins: FelixIa (Felix@Pony-ih1teb.static.versatel.nl)
05:16 <Schism> Good question. I can't say I know for sure, but it may be that both sides existed in reality, just that they were sealed off from one another.
05:21 <Cepheid> Hmm. Of course, there are other issues to consider. Like the non-euclidean nature of the entire ruins. One of these days I should draw out the ruins maps connected as best as possible, with gates identified on both maps, and see if the gates match up.
05:21 <Schism> Ah... well. Remember that with the right path, you can keep going downwards and downwards when logically you should've hit the bottom long ago.
05:23 <Cepheid> Just go to the path of the hell temple for that.
05:23 <Cepheid> 20 screens of lava to sink in. And then loop.
05:24 <Schism> Yea. Though even before that, you can see the looping room in the Chamber of Birth.
05:24 <Schism> I meant from area to area, on a larger scale.
05:24 <Cepheid> Fun note, while I sank, I didn't read the guide. My health was getting low. I check the guide, and realize what I have to do. By the time I found the door, and got in, I had 3 health left.
05:25 <Cepheid> Right, and on top of that there is an area that goes on forever horizontally as well.
05:27 <Cepheid> There is also a screen you cannot legitimately gain access to as far as I know with the progress I have on the hell temple.
05:29 <Cepheid> Really spitfire? At this time of night? While we are in bed? You're gonna do this?
05:30 <Cepheid> Hasn't my right arm suffered enough?
05:31 <Schism> Oh nice. Heading through the Hunting Grounds in the Prehistoric period, before fighting Azula, lets you see a niiiice big red star in the sky.

17:36 <Schism> Eh, I'll get the helms for now. I think I might not be taking Marle or Lucca in for the Lavos fight this time.
17:37 <ADragonDreaming> are you taking Ayla?
17:37 <ADragonDreaming> I wound up going with Ayla/Marle/Crono after a couple of false starts the first time I beat Lavos
17:37 <Schism> Hmm, maybe. Problem with that arrangement is a lack of party heals.
17:38 <Schism> I might do Ayla / Glenn / Crono.
17:38 <Schism> Mmm. Rainbow sword.
17:39 <Schism> I know I'm forgetting something, just forget what-- oh! Atropos.
17:40 <Schism> Bleh. Also forgot to charm the extra mail off Yakra.
17:41 <ADragonDreaming> Eh, party heals wound up not being a problem.
17:41 <ADragonDreaming> Marle hasted up and then functioned to keep everyone alive.
17:41 <Schism> I take it you gave her a bunch of the speed tabs, though.
17:41 <ADragonDreaming> Nah.
17:42 <Schism> Eh? Well.
17:44 <ADragonDreaming> Haste was sufficient
17:44 <ADragonDreaming> Ayla and Crono served to pound very hard on Lavos with Falcon hit
17:44 <ADragonDreaming> and in a pinch, max-speed Crono would pull out a healing item.
17:46 <Schism> Marle also has the benefit of Life 2, I suppose.

17:47 <Schism> Gluh. Should also grind Magus up a bit, shouldn't I?

18:51 <Cepheid> Hum, it's nice to mimic old systems and all, but I think for benefits of ease, I'll just straight up implement 32-bit colour rendering. Too bad mode-7 rendering is such a pain in the rear to implement in a graphically accurate manner, if I opt for pixel graphics, etc.
18:52 <Cepheid> .. Or, is it?
18:53 <Cepheid> If I rendered everything to a texture of accurate pixel dimensions, then scaled that up accordingly to the resolution of the display, it'd look accurate.
18:55 <Cepheid> Silly way to do things, but it'd work.
18:55 <Cepheid> ... And arguably be easier than the alternative.
18:55 <Cepheid> So that's what I'll do I guess.
18:56 <ADragonDreaming> Go for it!
18:58 <Schism> Oh wow. These enemies charm for more Gold Studs. WANT.
18:59 *** Quits: FelixIa (Felix@Pony-ih1teb.static.versatel.nl) (Connection closed)
18:59 <Cepheid> Next on the docket then I guess is tile size. Unless I should somehow allow that to be configurable through external files.
19:00 <ADragonDreaming> really? which ones?
19:00 <ADragonDreaming> I seem to remember that, actually, but...
19:00 <ADragonDreaming> oh, right, you can charm prism dresses from Zeal, I think.
19:01 <Schism> Ah yes.
19:02 <Schism> Huh. Ruminators. I seem to recall that these things... charm for Megalixers. Nice.
19:03 <Schism> They are also evil and if I can't beat Lavos with 5 megalixers I should turn in my hat.
19:04 <Cepheid> La-Mulana's(Original) tile sizes were... looks like 8x8 tiles. Grouped into 2x2 blocks to create 16x16 tile blocks.
19:05 <DerpyBot> New post on Equestria Daily by Sethisto: Pony Rewind - Brony 2018 [ http://tinyurl.com/y8a2r4lp ]
19:05 <Cepheid> Meanwhile, the remake is..
19:06 *** Joins: JonTheVGNerd (JonTheVGNer@Pony-48j.p7d.45.70.IP)
19:07 <Cepheid> 20x20.
19:07 <Cepheid> Grouped into 2x2 blocks of 40x40.
19:07 <Cepheid> Apparently this caused issue with the Gate of Time.
19:09 <Cepheid> As the original game's graphics were 8x8, and 20 / 8 = 2 remainder 4, simply scaling them up wouldn't work.
19:09 <Cepheid> Which is why you see a slight bit of extra detail in the Gate of Time compared to the original game.
19:14 <Cepheid> Funny thing, the reason La-Mulana's original doesn't work on Windows 10 is because the game uses 8-bit graphics, which while Windows 10 supports, it does so poorly, so poorly in fact it's a pain in the rear for it.
19:15 <Cepheid> Schism: Is it just me, or does Tiamat's theme from La-Mulana Remake sound like it'd come out of a Megaman X game?
19:16 <Schism> You're asking the wrong person, I'm afraid; I was never big into the X series.
19:16 <Schism> Ah, TEC list almost complete. Lucca just needs Flare.
19:16 <Cepheid> Fair enough.
19:17 <Cepheid> It definitely draws from something, though.
19:17 <Cepheid> As the style is familiar.
19:17 <Cepheid> Viy's theme, meanwhile is simple. But somehow glorious sounding.
19:18 <Schism> So, 16 elixirs, 23 hyperethers, 10 megalixers. I think I should be fine.
19:18 * Cepheid shows Viy the items that Schism has collected, by raising Viy's eyelid.
19:19 <Cepheid> A loud *FOOM* is heard.
19:19 * Schism sobs!
19:21 * Cepheid also ceases to exist, because he was holding up the eyelid.
19:21 <Cepheid> I like how that happens. Viy is cold-blooded.
19:21 <Cepheid> They even try to escape, knowing what's possibly coming.
19:22 <Schism> I like to think that, despite their devilish demeanor, they're actually trying to help Lemeza.
19:23 <Cepheid> Heh.
19:23 <Cepheid> There's something strange about the monster graphics, by the way.
19:23 <Cepheid> Remember the worm boss in the Dimensional Corridor?
19:23 <Schism> Which one? The giant worm, or the many small ones?
19:23 <Cepheid> Giant one.
19:23 <Schism> Yes, then.
19:23 <Cepheid> There's two variations of it's sprites.
19:24 <Cepheid> One for the Dimensional Corridor, and another set for somewhere else. If I had to guess, based on the rest of the enemies in the sheet..
19:24 <Cepheid> It appears in the Hell Temple.
19:27 <Cepheid> Also, apparently, if you get the swimsuit, Mulbruk shows up in it during the ending.
19:28 <Cepheid> And despite what Elder Xelpud says, he does *NOT* have a special sprite with it on.
19:28 <Schism> No, he's not even wearing it in the Steam Trading Card.
19:29 <Cepheid> Disappointing, really.
19:29 <Cepheid> .. Oh, hey, the PC Shop owner really does have the creepy demonic look in the game.
19:29 <Cepheid> Her eyes turn red.
19:32 <Cepheid> Geezus, they actually attempted to cram kanji into 8x8 pixels in the original version.
19:32 <Cepheid> That takes skill.
19:35 <Cepheid> Meanwhile, I'm going to use the same tile/sprite size as La-Mulana's remake, 10x10 pixels, 32-bit colour. Font, I'll implement the same way. Apparently, the devs used a tool to scan over each script, figure out which glyphs were needed, then did glyph packing into a set of images.
19:36 <Cepheid> Audio was a mix of .wav for sound effects and .ogg for music, with a separate file used to indicate the repeat points for music.
19:40 * Schism gets another two speed tabs, bringing his total to six. "...Huh. So they were all hiding inside the Black Omen."
19:40 <Finwe> o3o
19:40 * Finwe noms on Schism's tail.
19:43 <Schism> o3o;
19:43 <Cepheid> La-Mulanese has no differentiation between upper case and lower case.
19:43 * Schism considers giving all these speed tabs to Lucca.
19:43 <Cepheid> But it does have an effin' ton of unused characters in English.
19:44 <Cepheid> The unused characters appear to have an Egyptian styling to them.
19:47 * Finwe hats on Cepheid.
19:48 <Cepheid> Morning Finwe.
19:48 <Finwe> Good evening.
19:48 <Schism> Theeeere, every single tech learned, no need to worry about party switching for those Rubble or Boss Eyes.
19:55 <Cepheid> Hmm.
19:56 <Cepheid> For each area/field of the world, do I want to store each screen in it's own, independent file, or do I want to place the entire world/field into a single file? There's up and downsides to both approaches.
19:57 <Cepheid> Individual files, ensures that I don't over- or under-draw each screen, but I lose the ability to easily line up elements from screen to screen.
19:58 <Cepheid> A single large file is faster to load and stuff into memory, but there's a chance, depending on the editor I use, that I may end up mis-aligning the screens. On the other hand, lining things up becomes much easier.
19:58 *** Joins: RyuImperator (RyuImperato@Pony-cf7hg4.dip0.t-ipconnect.de)

20:07 <Schism> Yeah, I felt that it wasn't too terribly busy for the most part, just about right.

20:10 <Cepheid> Hmm, single large file for maps, but a sparse file. It'll only store screens that have data associated with them, using an index at the top of the file to specify where each screen should go in the grand layout of the field.
20:10 <Cepheid> ... A small part of me wants to use such a file for the whole world.
20:10 <Cepheid> Rather than individual fields. That way, in the editor, I can keep the layout internally consistent.
20:11 <Cepheid> None of this "That door's slightly off slightly by one block." or "These don't line up between the fields" stuff.

20:26 <DerpyBot> I need to ask Twilight about that one.
20:26 <DerpyBot> Twilight told me this video is about Track 01 - THUNDER FORCE IV『Lightning Strikes Again - Metal Squad』
20:27 <Cepheid> Hum, music associated with room, or region?
20:29 <Cepheid> Hum, field definition will contain the default song. Room definition will have a bitflag variable. If a given bit is set, it will imply that a song specification header follows the room header, specifying a different song to use.
20:29 <Schism> So far so good, with Crono, Ayla and Marle. o5o
20:30 <Cepheid> Huzzah.
20:30 <ADragonDreaming> If you're associating by room, you'll need to set it up so that changing rooms won't necessarily restart playback, when rooms share the same music.
20:30 <Cepheid> That's not hard to do.
20:30 <ADragonDreaming> Schism: yeah, crono and ayla's dual-tech is perfect for hitting all of Lavos in a single strike.
20:30 <Schism> Oh, I'm still on Zeal.
20:30 <Cepheid> But a default song for the field(group of rooms), while special cases for individual rooms would be a better way to handle it.
20:30 <Cepheid> That said, it does raise a question for special case handling.
20:30 <Schism> Well, on the Mammon Machine now.
20:31 <ADragonDreaming> Ah.
20:31 <Cepheid> If the player enters a room that has a special case, and then leaves that room, should the default song start over from the beginning, or continue from where it left off?
20:32 <Schism> Adra: Though the Mammon Machine is a very silly 'fight'.
20:32 <Cepheid> !link https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5CBOU-42eJE Schism, for you.
20:32 <DerpyBot> I need to ask Twilight about that one.
20:34 <Schism> Cepheid: Noice. o3o
20:34 <Cepheid> Hum, four bits for indicating that there are different connections in one of the four cardinal directions. To allow non-euclidean setups like the Chamber of Birth infinite pit.
20:36 <DerpyBot> Twilight told me this video is about Tor (Iji) - GaMetal Remix
20:39 <Cepheid> Hum, is 32-bit integers really "right" for tiles? That's a possible 4 billion tile choices.
20:40 <Cepheid> Which is excessive, since I doubt I'll have every single tileset loaded at once. Though I could do that with modern graphics memory capacities. 16-bit gives me 65536 - 1 tiles to choose from. 0 is reserved as "empty space"
20:43 <Cepheid> But since I'll be using chunks of 2x2 tiles for most blocks, that means 4 indices are taken up per block, giving me access to a total of 16,383 blocks. ... Yeah, 16-bit will do for tile index. I'll keep it 32-bit per tile location, using the remaining 16 bits for extras.
20:43 <Schism> Whew. Hallation is the best use for Megalixers.
20:45 <Cepheid> To represent 360 degrees at 1 degree of accuracy minimum, I'll need... 9 bits.
20:45 <Cepheid> At 9 bits, I get 0.703125 degrees of accuracy. I'll utilize those 9 bits for hue shifting of tiles.

21:24 <Cepheid> Speed-run it, cutting out all cutscenes, and using 10x EXP and 10x damage? 6 hours.
21:24 <Cepheid> The 10x damage makes things dicey though. Sure, you kill stuff rapidly, but it can also do the same to you. Some attacks are also instant-death as a result.

21:59 <Cepheid> There's also the detail of foreground and background bits.

22:03 <Cepheid> Might be best to separate the foreground and background into painters method lists of tile grids. 0 being the lowest layer, 1 the next layer up, and so on. No upper limit of layers. If a person wants to add 82 layers, they bloody well can.

22:07 <Cepheid> Or, for simplification, just a single list of layers. Each one is layered atop the previous layers. A given layer N is specified as the entity layer, and when the (N-1)th layer is drawn, the entities are drawn, then the remaining layers.
22:08 <Cepheid> Allows an arbitrary number of layers as a result.

22:14 <Cepheid> I got enough here to make a basic engine that uses square block collision detection only.
22:17 <Cepheid> With capability for extension to allow more complex shapes.

22:37 * Schism makes a quick snack before napping.
22:38 * Thelema5 waves hello
22:45 <PinkieShy> I didn't sleep at all hardly last night..
22:45 <PinkieShy> I got to sleep at 6am and woke at 11am..
22:46 <PinkieShy> So hopefully waking up at 11am will help me get to sleep tonight >.>
22:47 <Thelema5> That's me most nights
22:47 <Thelema5> I usually get 4 hours
22:47 <Thelema5> 4-5

22:50 * Cepheid just makes a simple solid-colour sphere with a face for temporary player placeholder.
22:53 <Cepheid> I can't art worth beans, but at least I can still do placeholders.
22:53 <Cepheid> Schism: Huh. Viy is based on an actual story.
22:54 <Schism> Most of La*Mulana's stuff is.
22:54 <Cepheid> True.
22:55 <Cepheid> The bosses, not so much, I don't think.
22:55 <Cepheid> Though they do have elements taken from stories.
22:55 <Schism> https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amphisbaena
22:56 <Cepheid> ... Okay then. o3o
22:57 <Schism> And surely I needn't link any particular references to Baphomet.
22:57 *** Joins: Reia (Reia_Hope@TheCowPony)
22:58 <Cepheid> https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Double-headed_serpent Probably more this than the above link, though.
22:58 <Cepheid> And yeah, Baphomet's obvious.
22:58 <Schism> Mm, considering that it's an Azteca-themed area, the Gate of Guidance, that one is closer to the boss itself, yes.
22:58 <Cepheid> All of the bosses seem to be involved in either historic lore, or conspiracy theories. Like Palenque, for example.
22:59 <Schism> Most of the enemies, too.
23:00 <Schism> Catball is known as Cait Sith. o3o
23:00 <Cepheid> Yeah, I know.
23:01 <Cepheid> Viy is basically a combination of the Russian folklore tale The Viy, and the Cyclops. In the folklore tale, he's about human-sized, and his eyelids droop to the floor. Meanwhile, the Viy in LM is depicted as a giant with one eye.
23:01 <Cepheid> But otherwise, both use demons to help with the eyelids.
23:01 <Cepheid> The demons thus, are under Viy's control, not helping the player. They're there to serve their master, however short their servitude may be due to Viy's well... lack of compassion for the demons.
23:02 <Schism> Worst thing is, that means those tentacles that kept smacking us down were in fact his eyelid hairs.
23:02 <Cepheid> Ah, it's Ukranian actually, not Russian.
23:02 <Cepheid> Pretty much yeah, Schism.
23:02 <Schism> Thankfully, there's no ancient cultural myth about spinning blue hedgehogs.
23:03 <Cepheid> Gods, what was UP with those?
23:03 <Cepheid> A reference to Sonic the Hedgehog?
23:03 <Schism> I'm just going to put it down to a protracted Sonic reference and leave it be.
23:03 <Cepheid> Yeah, sounds about right.
23:05 <Schism> I'm surprised some folks don't get that the screaming baby-like plants are mandrakes.
23:05 <Schism> Also, heh. Cepheid, what'd you think of the first punchline in Hell Temple?
23:05 <Cepheid> I knew what they were.
23:06 <Cepheid> I was wondering what the hell they were all about, as they seemed so random.
23:06 <Cepheid> I don't recall the punchline.
23:06 <Schism> Ah - how far've you gotten?
23:06 <PinkieShy> Thelema5 did you see Steven Universe ep last night or the rerun of it this morning?
23:07 <Thelema5> No PinkieShy... missed it
23:07 <Thelema5> Sucks
23:07 <PinkieShy> oof :(
23:08 <PinkieShy> It was a great episode
23:08 <PinkieShy> Leaving everyone on another cliffhanger until next week :/
23:08 <Thelema5> I want to see it, but time doesn't allow it
23:08 <PinkieShy> There is links i could get you if you want :3
23:09 <PinkieShy> Found a dailymotion one that is the full ep :3
23:09 <Thelema5> Sure, although I am pretty drunk at this point and prolly wont remember it

23:10 <Thelema5> Thanks!
23:10 * Thelema5 goes to watch
23:11 <Cepheid> Schism: Room with the pillars that descend, and two daises each on a different pillar.
23:12 <Schism> Oh, that one.
23:12 <Schism> I don't know if I'd seen something like the solution to that one before, or if it was just my weird intuition, but /that/ one clicked. Meanwhile, I spent at least three sacks of bombs trying to get through that one puzzle with the Lamp.
23:13 <Cepheid> Heh.
23:13 <Cepheid> That one clicked with me relatively quickly.
