Together in Battle / Re: Together in Battle Dev Log
Last post by CraigStern - Yesterday at 07:28:00 PMDid some searching online to find an artist able to draw a map of Dese.
- worked on the final battle some more.
- new script action: ChangeArmyColor. Two parameters: army number and color.
- fixed: the Transfer script action would add a character to the destination roster even if they no longer existed in the roster they were to be transferred from, causing characters who fell to permadeath during the bandit fortress escape maps to appear on the main roster anyway.
- fixed: the -ATKX- and -ATKY- special characters had started each returning 0 when using skill scripts regardless of where the attack was centered.

Last post by CraigStern - March 04, 2025, 03:46:57 PM- fixed: the option to scan Prince Ajit during his interrogation was not leading to the correct dialogue branch.
- fixed: Nihal Agarwal was not informing the player that his mission wouldn't occur that same day until they'd already accepted it.
- fixed: in some instances, clicking to skip score tallying in the victory box could fail to end the "score tallying" sound loop, leaving it playing until the player quit to the title screen.

Last post by CraigStern - March 01, 2025, 10:31:47 AM- fixed: female axefighter sprites were not displaying their character hair palettes correctly; replaced their bandana with uncovered medium-length hair to make their hair color easier to see.
- fixed: human photokineticist sprites were displaying character hair color in a much darker shade than intended.
- male pyrokineticist sprites and pyrokurios/pyrarch sprites are no longer bald; they display character hair color correctly.
- cleaned up a frame in the right-facing human female photokineticist casting animation that was offset by a pixel.
- updated one of the lines in the dissident interrogation dialogue to make more sense.
