[Pokemon Purple] Progress 2012

Minuscule update, I had to change around the item listing a bit to accommodate a change in the item system. I realized I had made the item system biased to if you selected an item, it would automatically send you off to choose a pokemon to use it on.

There are at least 27 items that you can acquire that aren't usable on pokemon at all. So I've moved them to the end of the list of items, and I am going to have it check the value of the element it selects to see if it is less than #, to go to the party screen, otherwise it will do things slightly differently. I'm not sure if those items will also be in the appvar containing the item code or not, we'll just have to see how that pans out.

Seems I had forgotten roughly 8 items on the items list. Those have been added, and the lines have been changed in ZITU to show the changes. Means I'll have to probably delete the ZITU topic until I can see about getting everything caught up because now they won't be in sequential order. :\

On a side note, I've gotten quite a few items done on the list, going to see if I can't get all the battle usable items done today. Plus I think I have an optimization that will severely help in shrinking ZITU down.

Edit:

I've made some changes to the item display program. I hadn't before taken into account that some items can only be displayed or used at certain points. So I've broken the selection of an item into multiple parts, based on 2 scenarios; if in battle and if not in battle. I still have to deal with adding in code for usage of the pokeballs, and to finish off usage of items outside of battle.

Then I need to clean up the ZITU appvar of all the segments of code that says 'Cannot use during battles' since that is now handled by the item display program, and will hopefully save almost 13kb of space in the appvar from all the items that aren't usable during battles.

Determined I need to write in a small routine to determine level up checking, to see if evolution happens, or if a pokemon learns a new attack. I'll probably be dropping that into ZMISC, which is also an appvar with single lines of code for routines and equations. Rather close now to having all usable items for battles working.

You post way too many updates--I can't keep up! Sounds like progress is good, though, and the items are coming along. How many battle items do you have left?

There is still Dire Hit, Guard Spec, X Accuracy, X Attack, X Defend, X Special, X Speed, and the 4 pokeballs. After that is all said and done, I will still have all the TMs and HMs to add, plus key items.

Edit: I sure hope this will get read..

I am in need of some help in regards with information searching. I must not be putting in the right info, or something. I need specific data regarding Dire Hit, X Accuracy, X Attack, X Defense, X Speed, X Special. Guard spec seems to keep your stats from being damaged, but how many turns is it supposed to last? :<

If you could help me find this information and post it here, I'd be grateful.

First page of first result for "Pokemon guard spec":

Each item increases the respective stat by one stage (most sites will call this a level). These are the stages:

I spent a little time looking at things this morning. I've decided I need a temp list to store when certain items are in effect and how many of certain items have been used. I still need to have the switch out aspect of ZPP clear this list, and then begin programming ZITU with the code for the items to get them to be usable. I might even have to change the saving list aspect when switching out of battles or when the battle is finished.

Yep, that was what I was talking about. :p the non-volatile statuses are part of the main lists for the pokemon. The rest will be in a temp list.

From here, I've determined that there are certain stats created only for battling.

This sucks. Neutral

This means a bit more work needs doing for the battle engine beginning, and I'll have to do more modifying to the swap-out-of-battle code. Neutral

It doesn't seem like those stats are too complicated, though, so that shouldn't be too bad. You should also include the Belly stat.

The only complications will be the figuring out if I have any free slots in the stat lists (I might have added 3 at some point, but I don't have a clue) and making sure they aren't saved or maybe just over written when ZBA is restarted. I don't know yet. Have to figure out what it is I have going, first.

Yes, but I don't think the extra slots were noted, I think it was something I did in one of the programs, somewhere. Neutral

0x5 thanks.

I just have to spend some time figuring out where I might have set the dimensions for the list. Might be in the initializing program, or could be in the program that sets up a new game. Just requires some digging. Smile
