Title: Pokemon Sprites
Post by: tifreak on July 09, 2006, 03:00:00 pm

Well, I dont have many screenshots for the Pokemon, yet. I will of course create a page for them, when I get around to it. As of right now, however, I thought I would go ahead and let you know about progress that is being made on it.

I have Pokemon #1-10 complete, and getting ready to start on the next one. Progress on the sprites have increased because of a handy program I made called Sprite2Hex (http://omnimaga.dyndns.org/index.php?showtopic=385&st=0&#last) (http://www.calcgames.org/cgi-bin/files/files.cgi?ID=1172)

This took the nearly 50 minutes (usually 40) for Pokemon converting, and took it down to roughly 10 minutes to create a sprite. Hopefully, I will be able to make all the sprites in a very short time. :)

Very nice, I am happy to see this moving along each day. I hope you find time to judge the contest entriees and finish this :P.

Post by: tifreak on July 09, 2006, 05:02:00 pm

heh, I should be well on my way to a demo, or have one out already, before I need to judge them entries. Besides, I might even just shoot to have it done, before next summer... :D

Pokemon #13 (Weedle) has been completed. More to be completed tommorrow.

Got 3 more Pokemon finished. I have decided that once I get to Pokemon #30, I will take a small break and finish up the items system, at least as far as I can get until I get all the Pokemon data and pics put in.

Title: Pokemon Sprites
Post by: tifreak on July 12, 2006, 04:28:00 pm

oh, heck no. lol, I am FAR from a battle system. :(

Here is another image though:

This image is of one of the pokemon. Once I get time, I am going to post a page with all the Pokemon images posted up. Until then, this should be a good enough preview of what I am doing. And yes, that is an image of it being worked on in Sprite2Hex. :)

Post by: mdjenkins86 on July 19, 2006, 02:32:00 am

Nice work.  But there is one thing I don't understand, 83 Basic Programmers:

How do you store sprites that you programs are going to use?  Do You store them in lists, or Pic1-9 files.  

Title: Pokemon Sprites
Post by: DJ Omnimaga on July 19, 2006, 02:40:00 am

i think he store them in hexadecimal in strings, not the fastest but small. Some ppl uses lines and pixel commands tho, much faster but it can become very very huge. That applies to pure basic programmers tho as xlib programmers can use xlib to recall sprites from pictures

oh and some ppl use two ASCII character together to make sprites as well like in war of mmruda (what happened to this RPG?)

Title: Pokemon Sprites
Post by: mdjenkins86 on July 19, 2006, 02:55:00 am

Hex in strings, I haven't done much work with hex...Must look into it

Title: Pokemon Sprites
Post by: tifreak on July 19, 2006, 04:54:00 am

Well, on the 83+SE, the hex2sprite displayer is fairly fast. The only problem I seem to be having is the bit of lag for the 32x32 sprite sizes, but there is not much I can do about it... :(

Hmm, I might have to port hex2sprite and sprite2hex to the 89... :P

Title: Pokemon Sprites
Post by: Speler on July 19, 2006, 12:56:00 pm

I think Hex2Sprite and Sprite2Hex would make a usefull flash application for those who know how (which would not be me since I don't), you could even have support for four level grayscale.

Post by: tifreak on July 24, 2006, 11:05:00 am

Well, I regret to inform you that Pokemon Purple is dead.










































Wait a sec, that isn't what I was gonna say... Oh yeah! Now I remember, I picked back up on converting the sprites, got 2 done while at work, will continue to work on them tonight, maybe I can get 10 or so more completed. Hopefully a whole lot more, but eh.

Oh yeah, hope none of you died of a heart attack on me. ;)

Title: Pokemon Sprites
Post by: tifreak on July 25, 2006, 06:00:00 am

hehehe, I just wanted to make sure I had your attention, and of course throw out a bit of randomness ^_^

I have approx 110 more to go, give or take one or two :P I managed to convert 4 of them this morning eating breakfast, in less than 15 minutes. (approx 4 minutes per sprite). So at this rate, I might have them all complete in 2 weeks. Then I need to start workin on a stats system, which I will just have to create based on the one that Pokemon actually uses. I might have to see if Mathstuf would be willing to assist with that... :)

And THEN, I might finally be able to finish the items screen. :)

Title: Pokemon Sprites
Post by: DJ Omnimaga on July 25, 2006, 06:07:00 am

aaah I c, still a lot to convert tho >.< good thing you arent porting pokemon leaf green or somehing like this O_O

Title: Pokemon Sprites
Post by: tifreak on July 25, 2006, 06:17:00 am

lol, it is basically the same game as Blue, with added areas, more Pokemon, and better, cleaner graphics. The Pokemon sprites are actually from Leaf Green/Fire Red.

Title: Pokemon Sprites
Post by: DJ Omnimaga on July 25, 2006, 06:28:00 am

yeah but i thought there was like 1000 pokemons in this game O-o in blue there is about 150

Title: Pokemon Sprites
Post by: tifreak on July 25, 2006, 06:40:00 am

In Red/Blue, there were 151, in the newer ones, there are close to 500 I am guessing... I dont honestly know though

Title: Pokemon Sprites
Post by: Radical Pi on July 25, 2006, 08:09:00 am

Right now there are still 386, but the competitive online community is eagerly awaiting the 500 mark with the upcoming release of Diamond and Pearl for DS. I'll add it'll have Wi-Fi battling too. ^^
I could probably advertise PP around on forums that would be allowed on...

So stats are next, after 100 more sprites? The stat/base stat data will take a load of memory from you. It'll depend more on if you decide to have the special stat broken or not; In RBY, the stats were Attack, Defend, Speed, and Special. In all generations since then, Special turned into Sp.Atk. and Sp.Def. I prefer the split, even if it wasn't part of the original games.

Title: Pokemon Sprites
Post by: Liazon on July 25, 2006, 01:06:00 pm

The split is probably key to balance.  If you ask me, the GBA versions brought a huge amount of balance between stat totals, possible movesets, and strategy.  With GBC version way back, my friend just pwned me all the time with a level 100 Alakazam, which really annoyed me.

I'm sad that pkmn will depart the GBX handhelds.  oh well, it would have really made me sad a long time ago.

 Mew was the 151th one, right?

Title: Pokemon Sprites
Post by: tifreak on July 26, 2006, 03:19:00 am

Yes, Mew was #151. Once I complete the sprites, I will create a program to thumb through them, and use the pti/calccapture to take pics of each, so I can make the sprite sheet. :)

Title: Pokemon Sprites
Post by: tifreak on July 26, 2006, 08:11:00 am

Well, I have not heard of it, but I have been kind of preoccupied with other things. ;)

Anyways, got the files sent over to the 83+SE, though I will still develop sprites on one of the other calcs. I noticed a definite increase in speed being on the 83+SE. I am fairly certain that I had read somewhere that BASIC for the 84+/SE is slower than on the 83+SE, something to do with a flag needing to be set or something. I dunno though. Anyways, back to developing. :)

Title: Pokemon Sprites

If you did this with xlib you could have the mons in grayscale. With omnicalc you could have the background music.

Title: Pokemon Sprites

Title: Pokemon Sprites
Post by: tifreak on August 02, 2006, 07:56:00 am

I think when the pokemon sprites are complete, it should be somewhere around 70k in size. Give or take a lil of course. I do have some optimizations to do to the pokemon data, but I doubt that it would shave more than 100 bytes off. Hopefully things go well enough that I can get to 90 or 95 tonight. Hopefully. :)

Title: Pokemon Sprites

Title: Pokemon Sprites

Title: Pokemon Sprites
Post by: tifreak on August 02, 2006, 09:06:00 am

not 70k of pokemon sprites, it will only be ~42k for pokemon sprites. And xlibman is correct, the game was like 3 mb in size on the original GB, and I am gonna try to squeeze that into an 83+SE. ;)

With the way I am doing things, I am hoping to cut quite a bit down on that. :)

Well, once the Pokemon sprites are in, I think I could bump up the total progress to 9%, dunno... :)

I have 88 done now... :):D

Only 63 sprites left to do, if I could get 10 done a day, this would be wrapped up really soon. :)

Title: Pokemon Sprites
Post by: DJ Omnimaga on August 03, 2006, 01:42:00 am

I think most of the files may be maps as it progress, as this stuff take the most space. does the game has a lot of maps? I never played so I dunno if its as big as FF6 or more like zelda >.<

Title: Pokemon Sprites

Title: Pokemon Sprites
Post by: tifreak on August 03, 2006, 07:36:00 am

That doesn't do it justice really, since that doesn't include any of the interior maps, and the caves... Victory Road is also quite a long cave system as well...

Title: Pokemon Sprites

Title: Pokemon Sprites
Post by: tifreak on August 03, 2006, 04:00:00 pm

I have large sheets of graph paper that I jot it all down on (I usually do a city/Road at a time, so it all matches up).

Once I get the item system up and done, and maybe the Pokedex (since that should be very easy) I will go back to map making.

Title: Pokemon Sprites

Title: Pokemon Sprites

Well, once I have it drawn out on paper, it is a matter of hard coding it as a string in a program. :)

 The RBY series is 1MB, the GSC is 2MB and the RSE is 16MB (probably a few megs of empty space to fill the entire cartridge mem though). Diamond and Pearl will probably take up either 16MB or 32MB on the cartridge, but the games themselves probably won't reach 8MB.

I will probably see about getting the stats put in, so Mathstuf, get ready... XD

I might also take the time to finish the rest of the items system. Stupid me forgot how I had planned on implementing the which item selected system was gonna be... Oh well, shouldn't be too hard to figure out. :)

It is just gonna feel wierd programming again, since I have spent all that time working on sprites... >.<

lol true, will there be any other demos or will you wait until the entire game is finished before next release?

When you finish this I'm posting it on all pokemon forums I can find. :D

I still say you should give the game an original/strategic twist. New area maybe?

I hit reply... I dunno, anyways, I have started in on the actual Pokedex code, and should have this done relatively soon. :D Depending on how well it turns out, I might use the exact same routine/etc for the actual Pokedex on Pokemon Purple, thought with the "have you caught this yet?" checker.

 Well, I have started in on adding the equations, but that shouldn't take too long. Then on to integrating the Pokedex program into the actual game...

And yes, I wish there was a way, but I don't know of any... I thought about doing some compressing, but have not yet done anything yet...

After looking through the Hex->Sprite Program.I optimised it a little to shave off about 5 sec's when displaying the sprite :D


c1-->

CODE

ec1If not(z:return I->C:J->U length(Str4 Ans/(2+2(Ans>16)+4(Ans>64->O If min(Ans/={8,16,32 Then "FFC3A59999A5C3FF->Str4 8->O End length(Str4->Z C-4->C For(B,1,Z C+4->C U+(C=I+O->U If C=I+O:I->C inString("123456789ABCDEF",sub(Str4,B,1 If not(Ans:End If 7Pxl-On(U,C If 3<8fPart(Ans/8 Pxl-On(U,C+1 If 1<4fPart(Ans/4 Pxl-On(U,C+2 Pxl-On(U,C+3 Endc2

ec2

Hope this helps! Another method of speeding things up is to use a token,say "/" to represent a 16 blank pixels,since i noticed that in your sprites,there is a lot of empty space. Then in your code, just add in:
:if sub(str4,b,1="/":U+16->U
The only downside is that you might have to go back and reedit all the hex for the sprites :(

 Thanks, I will plug it in and see what happens. :)

As to the 0's idea, I had planned on doing something like that already, thought it up last night. I was going to designate "G" for a row of 0's, which is... I don't have a clue per row.  :paf:  The only problem I have with this is I wont be able to use the error detection... which I guess can be removed...


Thanks, xlibman. I am working on decreasing loading time :)
