i know i just copy and pasted his code and did not feel like changing it.

adding a ,$d6 to the end of the line did not make it go down an extra line. it still only showed the first line.

this is the code i am using:

Code:


and it is not making it so that it goes down one line. it just shows the first line and cuts off part of the n on ansalon. also i am programming it in ion but is there still a way i can make it have a custom dcs icon.

I just found out that $D6 is ASCII for the new line found in the program editor, so it only works on the homescreen.

so i am going to have to use a seperate label for each line.

I guess so. There is a _vnewline call for Mirage OS but MOS isn't on the 83s, unfortunately.

The ASCII for a newline is 10 ($0A), $D6 (214) is outside of ASCII range (You are correct in that $D6 is TI's newline, but not that it is ASCII - may seem nitpicky, but it is an important distiction due to TI not following ASCII, which could trip up newbs)

@Lafferjm: Or you could create your own multi-line text display. Shouldn't be overly hard, just check each byte for D6, and if it is, scroll down a line and continue, if its not, then check if its 0, and if it is, return from the call, otherwise call _vputc and display it

If you use the GUIStack, just use multiline text with $D6's as newlines.

Ah, but remember that he has a normal 83, therefore, no GUIStack.

and kllrnohj i am not that talented at asm so i might just use seperate labels

Plz, just use this routine:


Code:


Just replace all of your bcall(_vputs) with call vputs.

so insert your code call it and than everything else leave as is.

Yep, and you don't need those padding spaces as people already discussed.

i wish i was that good at asm. maybe someday i will be.

At this point, I'd suggest you just copy the routine in, and accept that it works. If you work on the basics and keep practicing than there's nothing you can't do.

alright. and i added that and my sprite draw and erase to an inc file called usefull.inc. and when i do the header i put:


Code:


oh and usefull has an include to ion.inc in it. but i get this error when it comes time to compile


File too large! Binary file may not be larger than 26000 bytes.

how would i fix that.

I'm honestly unsure of what the problem is, but I don't profess to be an expert on include files so maybe we can both learn something here. I'm going to guess that you can't include a file in an include file. In other words, your including ion.inc in usefull.inc. I'd try just including ion.inc in the main program and not in usefull.inc and see if that helps at all. If that's not the problem, than I'm not sure what is. Usefull.inc isn't over 26000 bytes, right

ive tried that. i dont even think all three combined are that big. who knows.

Hmph. You do have .end's at the end of the include files, right?

no. but i will try. if that doesnt work i will just save the routines and paste them in if i need them.
