Are those sprites displayed with a BASIC program, btw, or are they displayed with an ASM routine? I think somebody around here, with the help of others, managed to have complex sprites show up using line() commands, after being generated from a program. I wonder if it's very large, though...

Ya, I'm the one who helped MRide with the compression/decompression of the sprites. I wrote the different routines I made here.

Ah ok, sounds good. Good luck tifreak

Ah right I remember now.

So, back in the game I think. Been digging around in my notes, trying to refresh myself on where I left off. Decided to:

-Draw the 16x16 npc sprites as I come to them.
-Dropping the 32x32 sprites for NPCs, that's extra work over something that has already been started.
-Get this blasted battle system underway.

That is all, for the moment.

So, after going over what I had of the battle engine written down on paper and that that was working on calc, I have come up with a check list of sorts to go through and build the code on paper in chunks and I will assemble it later as I figure out exactly how I want the program to be done, since I need this thing to be extremely dynamic in what I want it to do.

-Clear screen
-recall data on enemy pokemon
-recall data on user pokemon
-Display text box
-Determine if wild or trainer battle
--if trainer battle, display NPC sprites and text
---clear sprites and post info bars
--if wild battle, post info bars
-store screen to temp pic var
-post pokemon sprites and hp data
-post menu options

This is as far as I have planned ahead so far with the battle system. I know, I have a LONG way to go, but this is the start. I didn't get the time this morning to work on this like I would wanted, but it is definitely a start.

I'm glad that the battle system will start being coded. I hope you have more free time for yourself in the upcoming year so you can work on this more often and do other stuff as well. You seemed incredibly busy in the past 2 years for some reasons, compared to before. X.x

I remember you easily pulled 50-100 posts a day on every forum combined back in the days.

That is awesome Good luck with all the work you have ahead of you!

It depends. If you mean the one under the nickname mtgross111, then nope, although both are really cool.
