zStart - an app that runs on ram clears

[parserp]

Yet another bug: run this code from the archive: (TI-BASIC)

Code: Select All | Copy To Clipboard

1 2 3

:ClrHome :Prompt A

Once it prompts you, if you press "2ND", "QUIT", it leaves the copy of the program unarchived.
To fix it: run the archived program again and exit through a designated way or press "ON".

Firstly, I've notice that whenever you update zStart, everything goes nuts. I'm not exactly sure why this happens, but usually the first ram clear fixes it.

Awesomeness as usual, even more so this time (that zHelp 0.o)!

Did the labels menu always scroll?


Edit: some bugs.
The Entries menu (via omnicalc) disappeared a couple of times.  Still trying to figure out the conditions in which it happened but iirc it was after running an asm program from the homescreen.
After running MirageOS using the on+apps keyhook and quitting, I got one of those spectacular crashes complete with flashing contrast and vat corruption. This only happened once.

Just deleted the appvar and re-set the stuff, and I'll keep an eye out for more weird stuff


Also not sure if I ever mentioned this: Omnicalc's VirtualCalc thing crashes when used with the program editor.  Switching to the other calc works fine but it goes boom when you switch back.

The label menus have always scrolled. You just never noticed it.

When you say entries disappear, what exactly does this entail?

Mirage, not a clue. That might have been your first crash like I was talking about.

Well, i got some baaaaaad bugs back here....
First of all, when trying it out the first time my calc crashed when exiting zstart.
Then, basic programs won't work anymore, calc crashes or it gives some error at normal lines like ClrHome.
Chaining hooks doesn't seem to work to me at all.
Maybe my archive is corrupted as I am having also some problems with DCS, and they were still there after deleting and resending it.

Umm... If it crashes while exiting, delete your appvar. But, if you are having other problems like you say, you might as well run my archive cleaner which you can get to through my sig.

that's not a new thing. a few days ago, TAP was changed to TABoxplot for me

EDIT: i just noticed that the axe compile option doesn't do fusion yet.

Ok, it's interesting that you managed to actually rename one. If you can figure something consistent out, I can fix it. But most likely editing the one with the wrong name will fix it.

I don't know what fusion is, is it important enough to add?

This has been around a while. I actually know how to fix it now, so I might try it.

Yes it was the first time I (remember) getting a crash when quitting mirage, and yeah it was just after updating
As for the Entries menu disappearing, it just didn't work.  2nd+Enter did nothing, while Prgm+Prgm did work (as in it brought up the secondary menu thing).  It hasn't happened since, tho, so I guess it's a one-time thing?

Also, one of two things:
1) can there be a way to compile an Axe program from the homescreen?
2) can the on+sto shortcut return to the homescreen after the compile?

[shmibs]

axe fusion is a new compile method quigibo added that makes smaller programs but requires axe to run.

What? WOOOO

[Darl181]

Keep in mind that it's in no way bug-free, though.

Also random crazy idea #18691: in MP OSes using the 96th column as a scrollbar at the homescreen.
Maybe even the 64th row as a horizontal bar for the current active line
And/or using alpha up/down to page up/down.

It would prolly need classic mode, tho.

[Happybobjr]

Hopeful idea.

How about turning mathprint off when entering the program editor.
That will remove 90% of my crashes.

I am using a previous version. maybe its already been fixed.

Back to normal stuff :
I'm getting a bug in the program editor.  Sometimes after jumping to a label, or even just exiting the label menu, the cursor disappears.
It still edits fine, there's just no blinking box to tell you where you are.
I'm not sure if it's because of the zStart update or because of the 2.53 I recently upgraded to, but it seems to be recurring.

After using your archive cleaner stuff seemed to work normal again, except that about executing basic programs...

I got that bug too on the previous version

That actually would be pretty epic, maybe On-Up/Down to scroll or something.

In other (not) news, the label menu is really useful. Like really useful. WAY too useful. Props, penguin.

2nd, 3rd, and 4thed.
EDIT: That and the availability to edit programs from the archive and compile from the program.

I guess I could do that. But, how often do you get into a situation where you are lost in your 30 line homescreen equation?

Actually, the problem with mathprint arises when I try to close and open the edit buffer. If I were to turn mathprint off and on, I would have to close and open the edit buffer yet again, which wouldn't actually change anything.

You could use classic

I know exactly what flag, causes this, but I have no idea how it's getting reset. In any case, I just made it so this can't happen any more.

Have you tried deleting the zStart appvar yet? I don't know what would cause basic programs to fail, but killing the appvar might fix it.

Yay

That didn't help at all....I have no idea what could be wrong.

I tried "hardware" ==> "execute>C000" ==> Yes ==> No ==> Crash.

I'm testing it now I've time !
