More tiles will be coming later. And I mean a lot more tiles. The original game had over 3000 different tiles. I'm planning to have around 500 maybe.

@xlibman: everytime I try it gives me a transmission error.

did u got the recent version of PTI? Maybe your ROM is corrupted or the save files. I would suggest deleting the .pti and .conf file as well as the ROM and retry again with new files

@Spellshper: Thanx, I'll try that.

@dragon_lance: I use TilEm for testing purposes and it does work great, but I need one to make animated screenshots with. TilEm doesn't allow animated screenshots, only still ones.

I did figure out a way to make animated ones but it requires a lot of work and a ton of time!!! (taking a bunch of stills and animating them together)

u can use calc capture, it can be found on ticalc.org

Right now I'm struggling making sprites for the overworld. I have the grass and dirt paths thanx to necro, but I need some for mtns. and trees. They have to be zoomed out versions like in goldensun. Any help would be greatly appreciated as I'm horrible at making very small sprites. I can't decide whether to make sprites very close to the orig. game or make totally new ones. If I made them like goldensun, I'd prob. need 3 sheets just for overworld sprites so I was thinking of making some with out tons of curves and diagonals like in the original game.

hmmmm,i say stick with golden sun graphics. don't worry about sprite sheet space, as new xlib should have 16-bit indexing which means unlimited tiles

(supposebly)

Really, we're not going to be limited by 256 tiles anymore? That's excellent. Anyways, even without that, you could simply switch the sprite data pics when you enter a new area with different tiles.

tenniskid493 · « **Reply #127 on:** December 18, 2005, 01:01:00 pm »

Thats what I'm going to do. I use Pic 0 as the pic for active sprites, and then when I switch between overworld, town, cave, and temple, it copies those sprites into pic 0.

Does xLib work where if you have the pic set at 0 in the real( statement but put in a number over that pic, does it go on to the next pic???

DJ Omnimaga · « **Reply #128 on:** December 18, 2005, 01:10:00 pm »

Reuben did that too. I dunno if the new xlib still go to next pic when displaying sprites outside the current one tho. I remember xlib 0.5 had this feature

necro · « **Reply #129 on:** December 18, 2005, 01:12:00 pm »

yes...curently only 256 tiles worth (2 full and some of a 3rd picture)

dysfunction · « **Reply #130 on:** December 18, 2005, 06:34:00 pm »

The current xlib supports 256 tiles, but I heard that the new version will support 16-bit indexing, which I assume means 65536 tiles??

katmaster · « **Reply #131 on:** December 18, 2005, 06:49:00 pm »

65536 tiles!? O_O

Well, thats one thing we never have to worry about again

DJ Omnimaga · « **Reply #132 on:** December 19, 2005, 03:48:00 am »

OMG O_O

lol now we can have 40 frames animated movies as background image in scrolling maps j/k

I still hope tr1p1ea plan to release that new version to public I havent seen him on #tcpa for 5-6 days and normally he comes online almost everyday during week. If he doesnt release it to ticalc.org I'll ask him if I can add it in the archives here. That would also prevent 1000 people from asking me the latest version of xLIB via email

dysfunction · « **Reply #133 on:** December 19, 2005, 05:55:00 am »

This is just what I heard on the xlib topic at MC, I think it was necro who said this.

necro · « **Reply #134 on:** December 20, 2005, 04:41:00 pm »

tr1ea confirmed it quite a while ago, and again recently. He apearently is hammering out the bug in the memory functions
