Progress '09

[tifreak8x]

I cannot honestly give any real estimates at this time.

On a side note, I have saved 1,032 bytes as of now. I still have 7 programs to go through, 1 to re-add, and one to completely rebuild, before any real headway will be done.

[tifreak8x]

I have rebuilt the GUI for the items system mostly, I still need to add the ability to page turn, and then utilize the items, but that won't really happen until I get pokemon to where you can use them, so yeah. Once I get the page by page scrolling to work, I will see about posting a screenshot or two.

[tifreak8x]

And something for the masses:

Currently, only the scrolling and page by page turning is working. I still need to add:

X -the ability to move an item
X -the ability to toss an item
X -the ability to use an item

Using an item won't happen until I get it to where you can have a pokemon to use one on. That will be somewhat difficult, as each item does different things. I will also need to devise a dynamic routine for all the TMs and HMs, since they will all essentially do the same, and make it easier, but if the pokemon knows 4 moves already, it will have to replace the selected move with the TM/HM.

Oh what fun.. I think I will work on moving an item and tossing an item to at least get those out of the way. =]

Man, what an incredible amount of work... :worship: when you get it done...


(it looks nice, and almost pure basic!)

That looks really good. kinda a follow up question on what ztrumpet said can you view more that 4 items as of right now?

[tifreak8x]

Thank you guys.

Can you put the X(number) above to put another item in the menu?
Forget if you have to rewrite all...

I could, will slow it down further, and take up the room I had intended for the use/toss menu.

I take it that you can have a maximum of only 99 for each item.

per item line. however, you can have two rows of super potions at 99 each. =]

That looks really good. kinda a follow up question on what ztrumpet said can you view more that 4 items as of right now?

at a time? no. but it does scroll through the available items in the list, so yes. =p

Just depends on how you look at it.

[panyan]

its looking really good, i cant wait for its release - good luck with this and your future projects

[tifreak8x]

Hey, thanks. :0x5:

Been hammering out some ideas on how I want to handle tossing of items and such. I have to figure out which item is tossable, which is not, what items are usable only during battles, what are usable all the time, and what only works for certain things, like doors. I hadn't realized how amazingly complicated this was going to be. =/ But I will eventually get it to work, one way or another.

[tifreak8x]

0x5.

Well, working on a list of items that are not tossable, a list of items that can be used outside of battle, and items that can be used only during a battle. From there, I have to come up with a way, probably using a list element, to tell whether a person is in battle or not. I am thinking at this point, that will be the easiest way for that specific bit. For usage, I will no doubt have to spread that out similar to that of the map data. Basically, going with a few programs, and having one program that calls the correct one based off the item #.

[Graphmastur]

Wait, so you didn't map out what you where going to do beforehand? Adding stuff like that is a coding nightmare.

[luby]

Have you implemented a no cheat method? Like a few hash checks in the save files to keep people from altering Master balls from 1 to 99?

[AMkiller]

No Problem

[tifreak8x]

You would have to go through a lot of trouble to get that kind of cheat, since the list data for that is stored in a program, and the lists are not labeled. Hoping tonot need such a checker in mine.
