Phew... All done with the event

Gonna push and get some sleep, simple events = tomorrow.

***
- Added Magic Tower location
- Added Angelica NPC
- Version bumped to 0.43
- Added new Alignment choice events


====

Do you have any pointers how to add a new magic skill into the game from separate file? (start_id)

Same way as in be assets file.

*4 Tomorrow:
- Check arena rewards
- Check cost of rankups
- Add XP bonus from training with NPC
- Add simple events

Thanks, it's working now too, so I remove Mars skill from the assets file.


------------------
These init priority numbers (init -9 python:), how should I use them?

Order of loading from -9999 to 9999, everything out of -999 to 999 range is generally reserved for Ren'Py development team and should not be used unless you know what you're doing.

Basically just throw everything on init python or if you want to be really safe, init 999 python Remember that everything in the init is run every time game starts/being loaded so you can only initialize stuff there. All instantiation goes to labels.

Everything that needs to be saved goes to labels with other words:

For example:

Library.Skills.MarsSniper = ... <-- can go to the init or label.

char["Mars"].magic_skills["Mars Sniper"] = 1  <-- should go to a label.

 btw. It seems that there is a little bit of confusion in showing pictures for arena.
MC, moobs, npc arena fighters have pics called "combat". They're loaded by filenames (combat 0).
but for girls, we have main tag called "battle". So "combat" for them will not find anything, and it's currently showing just a profile pic.

Ah, ok... I'll fix this tomorrow as well.

I wonder, what are bytecode files? I mean, why they were in the game in the first place, while they can be deleted anytime? 

[Xela]

Basically Human Readable converted into a slightly more convenient form for the interpreter to read.

What kind of writing is needed?

What kind of writing is needed?

We will release an Alpha version soon, you'll see it then. There are too many game elements you can write lines/texts for to plainly answer this question...

As usual you just cannot find my obscure buttons

Damn it 
Where are Peevish and Aine? I cannot find anything in the forest.

Events are conditioned now 

Buy/equip some magic boosting item. I am not sure you can meet Aine at level one but Peevish should not be a problem. You cannot meet Aine before you meet Peevish btw.

Events without conditions are only available at test phase.

How to disable dev mode again?
