battle systems can be hard indeed , especially with a lot of abilities. Strangely enough, though, what I always found the hardest iN RPG making was to code building/maps exits/entrances that are doors type, not going outside the map, because when you have many, it gets quite hard to read through the list of events that just contains warping code . Events themselves gets hard to code after a while because you'll always forget to add a few Ends or add too many of them sometimes, then when you test your entire game later, you run into plenty of errors in code that used to work fine, and since these programs are often huge, it gets friggin hard to search for the bug.

Can't wait for more screenshots

Awesome! Good luck.

2 feet! Wow!  How much time do you think has been spent writing out all that code?

no no, that is just paper I have to take notes on

So far, I have roughly 4 inches of paper notes on pokemon alone, probably another 3-4 on the other projects combined.

Edit: I have decided today to move lists that only get used to recall data into programs, on a line by line basis. This way they don't take up space in Archive as a list and have to have the entire list in RAM. I can then utilize Celtic2 to recall the data corresponding to the pokemon # directly from the archived app var.

I have already done this, sort of, with the pokemon element type list. I have at least one more to do this for, and it is the list that contains the  evolution at what level list. Beyond that, I am uncertain if there are any more lists that I can do this to, but I will of course scour the code to see.

Sad thing is, the program that kerm made for me to change a program into an appvar, causes instability within the vat, and if your code errors, you get a RAM clear. So to keep the project safe, I have the program to change programs to appvars on another 83+ of unimportance, that will allow me to make the change and transfer back to the project calculator.

Have also went through and confirmed what list elements need to be filled out before sending it through the equations to get the stats generated. So I should have that working this afternoon .

Your fingers will get seriously tired if you get to the situation of put that down to calculator.

I have a bunch of notes in paper too.

oh I meant less files, sorry , not data

that's why I am using the other 83+, I don't care about it at all.

also, for those that might be interested and have excel or openoffice, http://tifreakware.net/tifreak8x/pokemon/files/pokemonmemoryusage.xls

From what I remember about 5 years ago, I think he isn't planning for 84+ support, just SE models, as such game would be far too big to fit on non SE ones. It's alerady 100 KB even if 15% complete
