| If you were dealing with sprites then I'd have an editor for you. But, I could create one if you like. I just need to know what number to identify each character with. (I'm assuming 0=empty) |

| vurrobin created an ASCII map editor, it's over here. I'm not sure what size maps it support though. |

Making the maps for inside houses shouldn't be too hard, since they're all basically the same inside all you have to do is alter it a little. But I started making a map editor a couple days ago, so I think I'll have it done fairly soon.
Tell me if anything's wrong:
The map is stored as a string
Each row is just placed right after the previous (so if you have an n*m map, then the 2nd row would be the m+1th element of the string)
For editing, you want to move the cursor around and just place the symbol wherever you want it.
If you have any other specs you want, just PM me (or post it here for other people that want to make one)

Well, it would need to ask the dimensions of the map, and yes, it is just one long string...
You might want to look at the RPG Starter Kit2 to see the layout of things... This might almost be best as an asm program, not sure though... :/ |

I don't know much asm, so whatever I make would be in Basic. The way I have mine right now is that it starts with a string filled with spaces the dimensions I want, and then a cursor moves around it (just like moving around a normal map) and hitting f1-f5 displays a list of symbols and you select one (I have it in so many so you're not scrolling through a really long list) and it changes the symbol in your current location into the corresponding location of the string and on the map.
[edit]I could use the number keys instead (or in addition to) of f1-f5 for the symbols. Also, is there any way that you think would be easiest to organize them by? like all the caps letters in one, lower case another, greek, arrows... it's very flexible so whichever way you want it would be easy to do. Or if you think another way to select symbols would be better.

| anyway that would make logical sense to the user, and would allow it to be fast. |

| I've combined all the symbols from Kerm's program and the ones on-calc, and my total is 203. Does that number sound right to you? I've gone through all the menus. I'm just making sure I'm not missing anything. |

| I just finished the basics for this and now all I have to do is add in custom lists of chars (I use f1-f4 for menus of chars, so f5 can be a custom one) and refine the code. But I just now looked at Vurrobin's and the only difference between the two is that mine has different menus for chars and it can do anything greater than 8*16. Even choosing the chars looks the same. If you still want it I'll post the finished version up tomorrow. |

I have 209 so I'm sure you are missing some 
I'm also using celtic3.07 to try to get some other symbols, like the black, 2nd, and alpha cursor. no luck so far 
I was planning to allow my editor to use smaller maps for single and dubbel layer maps and bigger maps for single layer maps, but I got a bit distrackted by my gamepack and some other stuff. I even was planning to use celtic to put the maps in a program so the user didn't had to recall the maps themself.
I am planning to finish it, but I don't know how long it will take.
and who knows, perhaps after that I'll restart working on an old idea I once had |

I found three more in the catalog (the symbols for stat plots), which makes it 206. If you count spaces there are 207. Are the other two (or three) you're talking about the cursors?
(I can't believe how similar ours' are even though I never looked at yours ) |

I am counting spaces but not the cursors because I haven't found them (yet).
I suggest you look in getchar of my editor to see which tokens you have forgot.
I have looked in the ti83plus include file but I haven't found the cursorsor any other tokens that I don't have. I am going to wait until Iambian finish the token list or until someone with more knowledge of asm/the include file will take a look at it. |

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.  |

Nice screenshot 
Keep up the good work!
But...
In the event I do not think of a way to write my program to accept decimal input, you can overcome it in this way, if you didn't understand the PM I sent you.
When you want to store the list, let's say you want to store it with the accuracy of 3 decimal places (should be nice enough for what you may be doing), then you'd store it like this:
Code:
1000L1->L1
"L1->Str0
Asm(prgmZLIST)
When you're ready to recall the list, you'd do it like so (provided, say, you've got the stored list in prgmZDAT and it's on the first line and this is Celtic II):
Code:
1->THETA
"ZDAT->Str0
1:Asm(prgmCELTIC2
expr(Str0)/1000->L1
If that won't work for you... I guess I could see what I can do about the decimal thing.

I am unsure, it might conflict with one of the elements, containing the amount of money the person has... :/
I will have to experiment a little bit, see what I can come up with... |

nice
so will this mean that battles will be done before the rest of the maps? |

Well, spent 40 minutes last night, got most of a map editor done. Now all that is required for me to do is make the engine, and add the string, and it will be done. Well, besides testing. How far along are the rest of you? :)
Edit:
Well, things are not cooperating with me, and the system does not currently work. I will hopefully have more work done on it soon though, or someone on one of the many forums will post theirs.

Here's what I have: [attachment=1934:attachment] [attachment=1935:attachment]. MAPEDIT is the main program and MAPCHARS is a sub. I've gotten distracted with school, so they're not completely finished yet. It can support any map greater than 8*16, it has every character I could find, and returns the map in Str1. You exit by hitting clear. To select a character, hit f1-f4 and then you'll be able to choose a character by moving under it and hitting 2nd.
Hopefully I'll be able to finish tomorrow, but since you're having trouble right now I thought this could help. |
