New topic to start off progress in the new year ^^
Well, at this time, I am working on writing up a heal pokemon party program, that utilizes Celtic2 to create a temp program, dynamically create/assemble code, paste it to the temp program, execute the program, and then delete.
Right now, in the pseudo code stage. :P
Hoping to have something to actually post about by the weekend. |

woohoo, new topic and progress 
but wouldn't healing just be storing the max hp into the current hp, storing max pp into current pp and resetting the status? why would you need the temp program and the assembly code for? |

Well, If I just have it store like that, I will take up alot of RAM for nearly nothing. this way, it is temporary, and the only thing being taken up is less than 400 bytes of memory to make the program in the first place.  and, it is dynamic in a sense that it cycles through lists P1-P6 (party lists).
If you want to see what I am attempting: http://tifreakware.net/tifreak8x/AAA.8xg |

| I looked at the code, and still don't get it. How can all this "temporary code" mumbo-jumbo be better than just running the code itself? You still need to have the original code in RAM to create the temporary program, right? |

| I do believe that you can have the code in archive and make a temp program from that. |

Ok, a lil bettr explanation of what I was looking to do, and did, in the end.
For the pokemon party, there are 6 lists that are identical. When a pokemon is healed, 5 slots are stored over 5 other slots. Of course, there is the basic way of doing this, by going in, having the program unarchive all 6 lists, making the changes to all 6 lists, and then reacrhiving them. Just checked that, cost 479 bytes of RAM.
So, I came up with that code to essentially go through and have only one line of code, in essence, and just have the numbers changed in it dynamically. My original cost 319 bytes.
Weregoose got a hold of it, figured out a pattern, and optimized, bringing the size of the program down to 219 bytes with name. the temp program is 52 bytes (50 if I were to make it a 3 letter name instead of 5)
And, it only takes roughly 1 second longer for it to write the program, execute it, edit, execute, etc for 6 lists than just running that one program.
Now on to other things... |

If I'm understanding correctly, the problem is that you can't do the equivalent of the following with Celtic2:
For(F,1,6
Unarchive L<f>
mess with L<F>
Archive L <F>
End
My question is now, can you do this with CelticIII?
Quote: TOGGLEARC
det(5,"filename")
Switches a file between RAM and ROM. The output of this will be zero if the file is in RAM, and some other number if it is in ROM.
(Or perhaps you just don't want to use CIII, in which case I'll leave you alone.  )

I finally did manage to get it to work. rewriting and threatening the life of the TI-83+ OS programmers seemed to motivate it, I guess. :P
If you want, I can repackage it, and post, so you can see what it is actually doing.
And thanks. I thought it would be an interesting way to do it too.  |

well, haven't posted lately, but there has been some slow, but steady progress. I have managed to get 105 of 151 of the attack lists a pokemon can learn by natural level up completed. Should be able to get the last 46 done tommorrow. From there, will work on the tm/hm list that pokemon can learn.
Getting so very close to begin implementing random encouters |

Hi.
Sorry i have been gone for so long.. Life has been keeping me busy, on top of my primary laptop having gone south just recently, and with recent events in the community, I was kinda takin a break, workin on some other things.
I am hopeful to resume my attack on the pokemon sprites that I had restarted, at the urging of Weregoose, to get it set up to optimize for speed and size of the sprite data. If I can get some time tonight, I will probably resume work on this project, though I am wondering if some people have thought of this project as dead.. :/ Sorry bout that. It isn't, and I promise to start putting up some updates. |

Yeah.. :/
Oh well, hopefully it will be something simple and I can have my main system back soon. In the mean time, I have a couple backup machines that I can partially continue my work on, so it won't slow me down much, considering things were not moving at all before... XD |

Looking for some help with this one. Basically, if you could make it look decent, all I need is the full hex, for the 32x32 pic. Use Sprite2hex to make that easier. Your help would be greatly appreciated. :lol:
edit: fixed link

| No, I do believe it's still broken. It's a gif file, not a bmp. |

lol, oops XD
I thought it was bmp.. since all the original ones were. ;)
It does not really matter at this point, someone was kind enough to do it last night, so I can get it accomplished really quick like, and I can continue. |

Ok... since this is sort of off the wall, though still part of pokemon.. and is following the line of the sprite compressing.. :P
http://tifreakware.net/tifreak8x/pokemon/s...ecompressor.zip
I decided to just have the calc do all the work for me, save me the trouble.. even after going through them all and placing them on paper, and leaving mistakes... :P
I believe that all bugs have been killed in this... Please check it out, see what you think, and see if you happen to stumble across any bugs. :D
Code:
File Name: Old New
ZPM1: 4,363 3,015
ZPM2: 4,440 2,900
ZPM3: 4,325 3,059
ZPM4: 4,440 3,384
ZPM5: 4,135 2,692
ZPM6: 4,257 2,950
Totals: 25,960 18,000
Edit:
Well, I managed to work on updating the basic pokedex.. and it seems that my little scheme did not work like I wanted it to... I have to get it set up to where it does not replace the last "0" at the end of an 8 char string if it is the only 0 at the end, or I am going to have to rewrite the G part of the sprite displayer... I think I will take a look at the code for that first...

Well, if some would be so kind as to go through the sprites real quick and help me out on seeing if the sprites look correct (trust me, if there is an error, you would know pretty quick like )
Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.  |
