Title: Omnicalc problem
Post by: Sorunome on October 14, 2011, 10:31:06 am
I got two problems with omnicalc: I can't set things into the VARS-Menu, if I press in catalog ON+NUMBER it just doesn't put it into the menu, and the ENTRIES-MENU doesn't work, if there is more than one entry the screen looks crazy and then the ram is cleared. Please help me! EDIT: It doesn't even work anymore with one entry... :S

What OS are you using? Omnicalc doesn't work with any of the MathPrint OSes (2.53 and above).

Oh, that explains it, I'm using 2.55MP. Is there somewhere a version how to make it run on them?

The best way to get Omnicalc to function correctly is to downgrade your OS to 2.43 (http://education.ti.com/downloads/files/83plus/TI84Plus_OS243.8Xu).

Yep, and there are a ton of other compatibility problems introduced by MathPrint as well, not just Omnicalc. You can download OS 2.43 here: http://education.ti.com/downloads/files/83plus/TI84Plus_OS243.8Xu

Ok, thanks, I'll might downgrade, but I would still recommend to the maker of it (I dunno who that is) to make it compatible with the math print versions. Well, I found out a solution for the extra vars-menu. The steps are: 1) Archive everything important 2) send OS 2.43 to your calc 3) make the vars-menu 4) archive the appvars "Omnicalc" and "custom" 5) send OS2.55MP to your calc 6) unarchive the appvars "Omnicalc" and "custom" 7) run Omnicalc Then the vars menu should be customized.

There are still glitches in Omnicalc and just about every major utility app last updated before 2010 though, as well as bugs in the OS itself and certain BASIC commands such as Output() that are several times slower before. I highly recommend downgrading.

Maybe a assembly programmer wants to take the code and modify it so that it works out? I think I woulddo it, if I knew how to program assembly, but that's to high for me.... :( EDIT: I downgraded, but I would still recommend that.

The developers might not be active anymore. And you know how difficult it is to read someone else's code; imagine that with assembly, where it's hard enough to read your own ;)

There's a modified version of Omnicalc by DrDnar that runs on OS 2.53MP. Not sure if it runs on 2.55, though. It was on United-TI somewhere.
If you ever plan to use Omnicalc just for the sprite/execASM command in the future, however, I would recommend using Doors CS since it's backwards compatible.
EDIT: The United-TI download of Omnicalc that works on MP OSes: http://www.unitedti.org/forum/index.php?showtopic=9316&view=findpost&p=141035

cool! Thanks! I'll try that out! :) EDIT: It says I don't have permission to download the file, even thought I just created a account there..... :S Could someone please send me the file via e-mail?

On an unrelated thing, is it allowed for only the functions under the PRGM menu (sprite() play() ExecAsm()) to be put in a program? I tried to make a program that would run on RAM clears via zStart
Spoiler For CLRSCRPT:
Menu("RAM Cleared","Restore",1,"Quit",2) Lbl 1 real(32,0) //real(32,0) is RestoreMem Lbl 2
And it throws some error or another only when it gets to the RestoreMem part >.<

library's are uninstalled at ram clears, so that real(32,0) gets executed as normal basic code.

This is through zStart tho, which automatically installs Omnicalc on ram clears.

Maybe zStart runs the program before starting up Omnicalc?
