Well, I have finished the border for the pokedex, and will start working on the actual selection sometime today. Here is a screenshot with the borders:

What do you think of the border? Should I change it for something else? Should I have Spellshaper make one? :P

I know there were different options for the border in the game, but the calc screen isn't exactly big enough for that...
That border is good; I can't think of anything better in its place but Spelli probably could :D

Keep up the good work! I still can't wait for this to be done

I am using a heavily modified version of the RPGSK, since there are tons of events the calculator will have to handle.

As to the houses, it will be a matter of having the program look if it stepped on the D character, and then going to the appropriate program to figure out where it needs to go.

It does, but all he programs' memory usage mushed together need to be below 17k. PP has way too many programs to be put into the BasicBuilder app.

However, tifreak8x, you could possible make two or three BasicBuilder apps:
One for the pictures, one for the maps, and one for the rest

There are only 2 or 3 pics so far, so having 16k designated for pics in an app would be pointless... :P

Installation of this game will be so easy, a 5 year old could do it, though I understand there will be some moron out there that will get it wrong... :/

Basically, you send all the files in the RAM folder to RAM, and all the archive files to ARCHIVE, and there you go, all done. :)

I am going to spend the time sometime to day, and copy the PTI program and folder, and see about making it specifically for Pokemon purple. What I will have to do is set each program to RAM from my calc, and recall all the data program by program, and manually set it to archive in PTI. This way, I can give screenshots of the game in action.

That's still not that hard to work out.

So if it won't scroll, here's the idea expanded for different map subsections:
You store the X/Y coordinates of the boulder AND X/Y coordinates of the subsection and edit when appropriate.
Boulders don't appear on the main world map iirc, only in dungeons. Leaving the cave would obviously reset the boulder coordinates, no problem at all!

If it does scroll:
Same thing, just edit it a little.

Come one, you're the master coder, not me :D

Question about your asm lib "Resource" (i don't know if it's really yours, but oh well).

Does it archive and unarchive really fast? because i had used codex, and it wasn't fast enough (you could tell when it was arching and unarching). If it's decently fast, i might have to use it.

All in all, if you didn't want to read that poorly worded question:

Is Resource fast?

Title: [PP] Progress, Starting in '07
Post by: tifreak on January 30, 2007, 09:53:00 am

THE POST 12476686

Resource does not archive and unarchive programs, it takes a program, copies it into a temp program, and then you can execute it.

http://tifreakware.net/tutorials/83p/b/misc/resource.htm

You should be able to get a grasp on how to use it there.

As to your first question, I am focusing on the menu right now. I have almost everything completed except for the inventory menu, and the Party menu. The rest of it is complete. I can't test the Inventory menu, until I have a Party menu, and I can't test the Party menu until you are able to get your first pokemon. So the next thing to do is add the interiors of the buildings, which I still have not done... -.-

Also, if I get bored, I could spend some more time developing the maps, as that is the easiest part of making this game.

Compared to CODEX: whaddahellyesh!
Why? That's why:

CODEX takes the prgm and UNARCHIVES it. (take program, copy to RAM, delete ROM copy)
Resource COPIES the prgm to RAM. (take program, copy to RAM, done)

Poking around in ROM (read-only-memory ?) areas takes more time than messing with the RAM (random-access-memory ?).

It's NOT the same thing, that is why resource is faster. It's just that they both try to achieve the same thing

shorter version:
Codex: unarchives the program, then deletes the archived version
Resource: copies the program to a temporary program in the RAM

Archiving/unarchiving takes longer than copying into a temporary program

Actually, you got it wrong too.

Codex does what you do manually, it will archive and unarchive a program. Resource creates a temporary program of the file, whether in RAM or Archive.

I spent some time yesterday, going through the programs for Pokemon, and writing down on paper how each program called to eachother, and what the values were for the while loops in each program.

With this information now on paper, I can finally integrate and test the Pokedex system into the rest of the game.

My next step is to work on the rest of the pokemon data; the equations, the lists, and the pokemon party menu.

Well, somethings have come up with this project, namely me becoming the supreme dictator of the world, so this project has been dropped.

j/k :P

Actually, I have gone with a new direction. Save data will now be stored to programs, instead of lists. The "live data" will be stored to a list while the program is running.

When saving and continuing, I will have an indicator bar, to show progress on loading/saving.

This will be the fastest way to do things, I am afraid, but it will be for the better.

I am hoping for a screenshot of the new system in action in a couple weeks. :)

Hopefully, this will be one hurdle easily overcome, and the next few will hopefully be just as easy to beat.

Save system is going together fairly smoothly. I have the first 8 lists saved into a program, which takes roughly 5k in the program. The lists were normally 13kb, but when sent to the program to be stored, they are only600 bytes, give or take a couple bytes. ;)

And this is if they all have 3 digit numbers stored in the list. The smaller the numbers, the less room it will take in the save programs, to be sure.

Once I get the program to save all the lists, and recall them, I will see about setting up an indicator bar of sorts, to show saving and loading progress. This way, the person doesn't think the calc has frozen on them or anything...

Actually, I feel quite the opposite. If this version is so close to the original, then people who have gotten bored or didn't like the original will not play it. I feel that this should be close to the original, but tifreak should add some of his own personal touches. This way, not only will the people who liked the original play the game, but also the people who DID NOT like the original because the game will have stuff that they haven't seen before. Just my two cents...

As for me, I haven't played any pokemon game before because *dun, dun, dun* I do not have, never had, and will possibly never have a Gameboy of any type. So, I have almost no experience whatsoever of any pokemon version (except for what I saw my friends play) and is the most impatient of anybody to play this game, even if it will be a beta (I :wub:

betas).

So, tifreak, what will some of the twists be from the original?

Well, so far, the only things that will be majorly different is that you will be able to catch Mew in one version, and Mewtwo in another. You will only be able to catch one of a pokemon, sadly, due to limitations via the lists.

I have not totally decided on other twists, yet. :)

Well... How to say this... I am terribly unhappy with the current saving system, and will most likely be just as unhappy with the speed of the continue system. To remedy this, I am going to rewrite the save syste yet again, but this time, I have an idea worth exploring :)

each pokemon will have their own individual list. the 6 party pokemon will be saved to individual lists, while anything > than 6 will be stored to the PC boxes, just like in the original. This way, I won't have any problem with needing hundreds of lists, and a person can catch 2 of one type of pokemon. :)

So, I will see about getting this set up, and this will hopefully cut saving time down to just a few seconds, instead of 2 minutes... -.-

I have also decided that I can have up to 35 pokemon per PC box, though it might be better to just have 30 per box, and have 7 boxes, which would give room for 210 pokemon, plus the 6 party pokemon.

Working on the map system, going to try to get it to have 4 way scrolling. Some changes will be made, things like it not taking up the whole screen, it will only take 8x10 instead of the 8x16. This will allow me to make the map exactly like the original, which will give me tons of room map data wise, as it won't be split up like it was. I am also workin on 4-way scrolling, and since I have the entire map in there (1458 characters o.o

couldn't you just overlap the map segments where they switch from one to another, that way it would produce a smooth transition like in the real game, and there would be no "Loading Pallet Town Map..." Screen or any awkward transition like that...

And using them, I will be able to make it so it can move from map segment to map segment anyways, so it will work out better in the end.

Well, some good and bad news.

The bad news first: I messed up in the test map, slightly, and will require me to fix it. I seem to have forgotten 4 rows somehow, not sure how the heck that happened. Should not take too long to fix though.

The good news is I have Vermilion town done, though in order to create and test the right and left linker routines, I will still need to create Route 22, the road going to the pokemon league. I am SO going to have to find more large graph paper... :/

Anyways, the screenie: user posted image

If someone would like to help me out, I could really use a good map editor. It would have to ask how many rows and columns, and have all letters, numbers, and everything from http://www.ticalc.org/archives/files/fileinfo/384/38404.html If you would be willing to do that, that would be of tremendous help. And heck, you could even throw it on ticalc as the "official" RPGSK2 map editor. :P

unless he had 1000 sub routines, since each takes between 8 and 15 bytes of RAM even when archived, depending of the name, he would only have 8-15 KB of RAM free with nothing else in the RAM then o.o

Well, I thought I would present you all with an updated screenie, of everything slowly coming together. I got the new walking engine uploaded to the project calc, and getting things tied in. Next few things to do:

1. convert all the menu boxes to the new dynamic system (didn't I already do this?! :/

)

2. pray that Iambian can come up with a way for his list to string converter to read decimal values in the list elements, otherwise, a rewrite/rethink of the interior maps is in order

3. optimize

4. more optimizing

:P

After that, I will spend lots of time getting some maps done, probably through pewter. At least the exterior. The problem is going to arise from the fact that for the interiors, I need to play as I build. So for the rest of the interiors, I am going to have to set this up so you can battle and catch pokemon. So the next release is going to be really fun. ^_^

I am using Celtic II for the saving feature, I have no plans, at this time, to upgrade to C3, since that would most likely require me to rewrite things again, and I SO do not look forward to that. >.<

I am dissapointed with Cemetech though, because you posted like 4 updates in a row in a few weeks period and nobody replied, then you posted that you're not posting pokemon progress here anymore and even the admin doesn't even bother replying trying to convince you to stay.

I just put my (unfinished) map editor in the PP topic on UTI here. I've been distracted with school and hopefully I'll finish it tomorrow, but since you're having trouble tonight it could help a little (it still works but you can't load previous maps [except manually] and the cursor is just an elipsis [I know that's not spelled right], but the finished will be like vurrobin's with the last character used as the cursor)

Two things to note:

I already know about the border not completely clearing for the option box in the in game menu, didnt remember it until the screenshot was made.

I noticed that Ash's mom looks wierd... I think I missed the hands, because of the way the sprite is on the chair when you talk to her... I will have this fixed later.

Things added:

NPC interactions (obviously)

Made it so the character shows change of direction, without actually having to move.

Fixed some of the borders to the new border system.

Now that this is done, time to work on that mapmaker, and get it to work, hopefully. I *have* to have it to get anywhere else in this game at this point.

if you could somehow store your strings in a string var, you could just have 2 separate string vars, 1 for english, 1 for french. Then it doesn't take any extra space, cuz you only need the language you use.

Well, got the names of the pokemon put up, and the good people of TI-Bank *coughtamacough* was kind enough to post the errors. They are fixed on calc, but not yet in the zip. Should get that reposted tonight.

I have also been working on the attacks. The list is alphabatized in French, and my old list is alphabatized in English. Since I don't want to have to reprogram that part of the game when it comes to crunch time, I am going through this massive list, and weeding out the ones that were for the originals, then putting them in the appropriate spot. 165 attacks...

On the plus side. It seems going to French is actually an optimization! If things stay constant, the longest French attack is 12 letters. The longest for the English version is 13. So, taking this into account:

French: 1980 byte string
English: 2145 byte string

I find that too funny... lol

A bit of an update:

Oak's lab is now completed, with NPCs and their associated text.

I have managed to get it so you can examine bookcases (although every single one says the same thing in the game)

Next I need to see about setting some more of the characters as "un-walkable", and then see about workin on being able to check the rest of the stuff that is in Pallet town.

Once that is complete (maybe an hour or two worth of work) I have to see about setting up an event system. I have decided to move the code that examines things to another program, to shrink the primary program back down, and see about optimizing a bit, to make it as small as possible, because it will have to also detect certain events that happen.

At this point, sadly, that first one would not be able to catch up. 7-13 vote. :/

not counting the fact that like 5 others here voted for #2, so that would put it at 7-18. :/

I managed to get the map integrated in, only viewable through Gary's house rigt now, with a blinking cursor. Once you are able to get a copy of the map from Gary's sister, I already have the current maps set up to blink when viewed. I fixed the saving problem where it would not rearchive the save program, and I made it so it would actually quit the game.

Ok so far there's a little problem with text in option menu. When changing text speed it erase the last row of pixels for "TEXT SPEED". For battle style if u change it to "SET" it doesnt erase the first row of pixels for the S and the T in "SHIFT".

Also when saving the game in the menu, after completed does it reload Ash sprite again? I would skip ash sprite loading part if I was you since it's alerady drawn before saving process, would speed it up more. If it's not what make the game load after saving it's ok though, I suspect save data to be huge :P

And how do u exit "STATS/ASH"? o.o

I am stuck here now X_X it just keep reloading Ash face every 5 seconds

*kills the game using ON and reloads saved data*

Ok now I hope this isn't a crash because there's plenty of numbers on homescreen and an inverted equal sign like on the Y= menu sometimes O_O

Now restarting, is it me or the game walking is much faster than in the screenshots? That's cool ^^

Now the lil thing in the middle of the room, it says ash is playing a game: you should move the text higher because it is displayed on top of menu borders x.x

Oh the TV in the first room doesn't work it seems, it shows it, show menu border then quickly exits

Also the menu border choice isn't saved when restarting the game, even if you saved

I'm glad you used my ASCII character suggestion for main character (the one from ROL4ever) so now you have 4 directional char ^^

I like char sprites, even thought they take a while to load x.x

And maps are fast loading

Ok now I see where the number junk comes from, when u exit the menu a bunch of digits fills the entire home screen (see screenshot at bottom of post)

Now I am stuck, what do u do at the beginning. Professor Oak seems busy x.x

Anyway the game is @###@*&@#*&@#*&@?@??& @\/\/3$()/\/\3! It will be the best and most complete Pok

Umm, I have *never* had that happen before... It should not be possible, since I am not displaying data to those parts of the screen... I will try to reproduce this if I can. What emu are you running, with what ROM?

And I have not got the event system started yet. That is what I am going to start on tonight.

Thanks for the bug reports, I will check in to all of it. x.x

Problem *has* to be from Celtic, when it rearchives the save file, because I did not have that problem before I added that in. :/

Well, to get rid of the problem, I added a ClrHome after it saved, making it flash the screen. Nothing that can really be done about that, unless I can find the exact cause of the problem. I know it is nothing I am doing, it has to be asm, because mine displayed the ; char, which is not readily available on the 83+.

Iambian was nice enough to test as well, giving many errors, most of which is fixed.

Also, you looked at the back of the TV, DJ. I will add that as one of the "Oops, wrong side" bit. :P

Well, the save file has to be transferred from ROM to RAM to save the data to it, then back to ROM to keep it safe. Resource is only used on the programs that need to be in RAM to be executed.
I have fixed a great deal of the errors that were posted. Still one or two more that I need to try to confirm, like your error with exiting the Stats/Ash part. I cannot replicate that. >.<

Hi tifreak8x,

I'm also working on a Pokemon game for the TI-83+ (TI-84+).
But I'm not trying to produce the whole game. Just a small Pokemon game (Pokemon TI Version) featuring about 80 pokemon, 6 towns an the Elite Four at the end. I found your topic on the sprites for the Pokedex, and I was wondering if I could use those sprites in my game too.
I would be very happy, cause its loads of stupid work to tune those sprites for the 'BattleScene'.
I was also wondering; in your Battle Scene, do you see your own pokemon bigger and from behind, and the enemy just the same pictures as in the Pokedex?

Appreciated

I suggest you google for pokemon firered/leafgreen sprites or sapphire/ruby/emerald sprites and look for the menu screen sprites (the really tiny sprites that show up next to your pokemon's name when you go to select from the menu)

those are 24x24 or 32x32 on a limited pallete iirc, so they are pretty easy to convert to a managable size for calc in b/w or 4 lvl gs.

Well, some success. I managed to rewrite the original part of the text displayer, that did char by char. The next plan is to set it up so that the line by line works properly. When a user selects *fast* it will automatically go to the line by line mode. :)

well if the bug wont cause trouble and is hard to trigger it shouldnt be a big pb

all my games (except maybe XXR since it's so simple) had glitches, like:

-SUper Mario Smash Dance: When selecting song sometimes text appeared, disappeared then reappeared again when pressing arrows a lot
-RL3: last column of pixel not getting displayed properly during ultimate magic animation, and char tile last pixel row not being erased when he walked over the last row of pixels
-Metroid II: Last chozo: Flickering enemies/HUD/Lava when shooting them and destroyed blocks reappearing when getting an item, the samus shooting glitch after kraid dies
-Illusiat 9: The glitchy evil wall battle and if you run into a battle at the same time you walk on an event when fight finishes the map won't reload until the event ended

there are more, but I can't think of anymore atm
