I probably will not, but if I can, I will try

Looks nice as usual. =)

For GroupHook, I tried a technique suggested by Runer that has worked excellently. I am still working on adding better features, but currently, you can:

• Disable GroupHooks
• Enable GroupHooks
• Get which apps are in the GroupHook

Using command 126:
dim(126,#) will return the name of the nth app in the grouphook. (Returns ".DNE" if the number is out of range)
dim(126.1) will disable all grouphooks
dim(126.2) will enable all grouphooks
dim(126.3,#) will enable the nth app in the grouphook
dim(126.4,#) will disable the nth app in the grouphook

Nevermind, I forgot to put the updated one on my flash drive, so 126.3 and 126.4 aren't available. Anyways, GroupHook is now slightly faster and it now uses a GDB var (a hacked one) to store data.

This is not an official update because it is still not finished. However, feel free to take a look

ooh, that sounds fantastically useful in helping to maintain consistent speeds =D

[Sorunome]

Sounds nice!
And i have to add more comments to LibBot....

xeda, as a somewhat late response to your name question, i don't know how to do it, but you can just use rabbitsign to convert your 8xk to a .app, find the name and replace the chars you want, and resign it to an 8xk with -r. it's annoying, but can be scripted into your build process if you can't figure anything else out.

Awesome, thanks I might decide to keep this normal name as a way to differentiate it from the old version. I'm still thinking about it...

i found a bug with graphing!
i don't know if it is only in batlibg, it is the only one where i tested.
It addes some kind of shade to the graphs. screenshot:

[Xeda112358]

Wow, that is weird. I am going to need to figure out how it is doing that. It doesn't seem to be setting flags and I am pretty sure all the RAM that I use is decently documented. Have you tried it with the most recent BatLib? (Not BatLibG) I am at school right now and I cannot test on this computer (no USB ports work so I cannot even use Wabbit on my flash drive)

I stopped BatLibG in the last update since the new code for GroupHook was fast enough for my liking. (I just added in GroupHook to the normal BatLib)

[Sorunome]

oh, so there is no batlibg/batlib difference anymore? i'll try it out after doing some homework with that version

[Xeda112358]

Hmm, I did test it and the issue is similar (shading is on the other side). Also, I forgot to release a fixed version for a bug I found a few weeks ago If you have no apps with GroupHook enabled, running BatLib will crash your calc. The fix was simple, but I have to remember to put it on my flashdrive before I come to campus

I still don't know why the shading occurs, though, but I suspect it has to do with GroupHook

EDIT: I am pretty sure this is the problem because a certain register isn't preserved (A). When I manually preserved it, it worked fine.

[Sorunome]

Ok, lets hope that you can fix that bug soon! As i was going like WTF?!?!?! when i graphed stuff for ap calculus

[Xeda112358]

Okay, I think it is bug hunting time I have fixed the graphing bug, and I have added more to dim(126) to make it even better.
Taken from the readme:

126-GroupHookMode dim(126.x,arg1,arg2)

This is used to control the GroupHook settings. Since BatLib automatically
installs all GroupHook apps on the calc in the order they appear in memory, this
command is very useful to manage conflicts. For example, Celtic 3 installed
before Omnicalc will render Omnicalc's real() commands useless (because Celtic 3
thinks they belong to it). You can use this command to swap the order in which
apps are checked.

• dim(126,#) returns the name of the nth app in the GroupHook.
• dim(126.1) will disable all grouphooks.
• dim(126.2) will enable all the apps in the grouphook.
• dim(126.3,#) will disable the nth app in the grouphook.
• dim(126.4,#) will enable the nth app in the grouphook.
• dim(126.5,#,"App") will allow you to rearrange the grouphook order. For

example, to make sure Celtic 3 is checked first, set it in slot 0:

Code: Select All | Copy To Clipboard

1	:dim(126.5,"Celtic 3

Notes:

• ".DNE" is returned with dim(126.4) and below if there is no nth app (meaning #

was too big).
When using dim(126.5), the hooks are swapped. In the example, the App
previously in position zero will now be in whatever position Celtic 3 was in.

• ".BAD NUMBER" is returned with dim(126.5) if there is no nth app.
• ".DNE" is returned with dim(126.5) if the app does not exist
• ".BAD NAME" is returned with dim(126.5) if the app exists, but is not a

grouphook app.
Basically, if you have a program that you want to run Celtic 3, Omnicalc, and BatLib routines in, you should include this at the start of your program:

Code: Select All | Copy To Clipboard

1 2 3

dim(126.5,"Omnicalc      ;put Omnicalc first so that Celtic 3 doesn't conflict with Omnicalc's real() token. dim(126.5,1,"Celtic 3

Oh, as another note, app names are usually 8 characters long, so they get padded with spaces at the end. However, since this is not always the case, BatLib does not automatically pad names.

Wow, nice, i'll download as soon as i'm on my pc
and once again i have to change libbot xD

[Xeda112358]

I wish I could use libbot I also cannot wait to start making solid example programs, either. Now that I am basically done with BatLib, I can start focusing on using it
