I think its becasue you forgot to close the parenthesis on {J*2+I+GDB1}→A

Remember, parenthesis matter when storing to variables.

Tried doing that and it still didn't work.

I loaded the last code in Sourcecoder, saved, opened in Wabbitemu, making sure the code was intact, compiled fine with latest Axe version, and when running Asm(prgmB it just says Done

Don't forget the DispGraph at the end.

Okay I'm starting with the original code and making revisions.  I bolded things that needed fixing:

:.B
:[1111→GDB1
:[1001
:[1001
:[1111
:[FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF→Pic1
:ClrDraw
:For(I,0,1
:For(J,0,3
:{J*2+I+GDB1}→A      <--Grid is 2x4 bytes.
:A^16→B
:A/16→A
:If A
:Pt-On(I*8,J*8,A-1*8+Pic1     <--Don't forget, order of operations is left to right always.
:End
:If B
:Pt-On(I*8,J*8,B-1*8+Pic1     <--Minus 1 is more efficient than minus 8 anyway
:End
:End
:End
:DispGraph

If this doesn't work then something is wrong...

It works now, thank you.  Now to go over the code and see why it works.

well, figured since there was already a tilemapper in axe thread I would put this here.  I made another tilemapper that works with 8x8 sprites, and scrolls.  I believe it works on the same principle as SIr's program, I'll have to look at it a bit more.  anyways, here goes (it's attached at the bottom as well)

Pic3 holds the tilemap data
Pic4 holds the tile data
W is the X position for the tilemapper
R is the Y position
W is how many bytes each row of tile makes (ie in a tilemap of 18x5, 18/2=9=W)  W is also used to check if you are too far in one direction
I didn't add something to limit the Y movement, you'll have to add that yourself, not too much work really
Code: [Select]
:.B
:Full
:[0000000000000000FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF→Pic4
:[111111111111111100→Pic3
:[000000000000000000
:[000000000000000000
:[000000000000000000
:[000000000000000000
:[000000000000010100
:[000000000000001010
:[000000000000000101
:[000000000000000000
:9→M
:2→W
:0→R
:ClrDraw
:Repeat getKey(15)
:Repeat getKey(0)
:End
:
:If getKey(2)
:W-1+(W=2)→W
:End
:If getKey(3)
:W+1-(2*M-8=W)→W
:End
:If getKey(4)
:R-1+(R=0)→R
:End
:If getKey(1)
:R+1→R
:End
:sub(AA)
:DispGraph
:Pause 100
:End
:
:
:Return
:Lbl AA
:For(V,0,7
:For(Z,0,3
:Pt-Off(16*Z+(W^2*8),8*V,Pic4+({R+V*M+Pic3+Z+(W/2)+(W^2)}/16*8)
:Pt-Off(16*Z+8-(W^2*8),8*V,Pic4+({R+V*M+Pic3+Z+(W/2)}^16*8)
:End
:End
:

Lbl AA is the specific tilemapping part, the rest just shows how to use it

hope it proves useful to someone

DJ, try changing a single character.  For example, add a single comment anywhere in the code.  Then, try it again.

try making your own map, just use some random map but keep the lbl A part and try it (might be group corruption which would suck)

no need to post the full code, all I did was adding a line break, changing map data a bit then trying, then changing it back, removing comments and stuff


This means there's a problem with the posted code or it's an Axe Parser bug

Ok ty the attached file works. Is the tilemapper supposed to look weird like this tho? It doesn't appear to have any limit of how much it can scroll down.

Yeah, he didn't put a limit on the Y movement for whatever reason.

Personally, I'd think that if you were sharing an engine, that you'd at least get it to run right on it's own without those weird errors.
If they edit it from there and it messes up, THEN it's the user's problem.

To each his own, I guess.
