I, uh, went out side the box and created my own method of compression.

Wasn't there something about replacing a row of zeros with one char?

tifreak · « **Reply #47 on:** August 23, 2006, 05:01:00 am »

yes, 8 0's with the letter G. made a huge dent in the size of the file, that and removing all the 0's at the end of the sprite.

Awesome!

14Kb of saved memory is amazing with that one simple trick! Do you have anymore tricks up your sleeve?

Keep up the great work! :king:

tricks? what tricks?

lol, I am working on it.

I will try my hardests to pull things like that off in the future...

how fast does it uncompress now?

tifreak · « **Reply #51 on:** August 23, 2006, 06:10:00 am »

Well, it isn't so much a compression, as it was just a new way of interpreting the hex. now when it sees the "G" character, it knows to skip a row, speeding things up considerably.

Are you planning on including all the orignial towns/gym leaders?
By the way: Just to let everyone know: In the original games, to get into Sapphron city, you have to give the guards something to drink. This literally took me AGES to figure out. Give me a break though, I was like, 8

Yes, the maps will be all there, though in ascii, and all the trainers should also be in it. (Did you see the pic of Ash's ID card? look around, I am sure I have it in one of my topics, if not, will repost it, or you could look in on the projects section of UTI.)

how much map done btw?

tifreak · « **Reply #57 on:** August 24, 2006, 08:18:00 am »

I am guessing high when I say this, but I guess some where around 5% of the maps are done.

Spellshaper · « **Reply #58 on:** August 24, 2006, 09:05:00 am »

Well, better than 4% I guess ^_^

Maps can be a pain cause it gets so repetitive to make them.
Make sure to work on it for not too long, or you'll end screaming at the wall for nothing but annoyance like I once did. Creeped my mom out.

tifreak · « **Reply #59 on:** August 24, 2006, 02:28:00 pm »

meh, the maps I actually look forward to, because they will be easy compared to the battle system, the equations for the Pokemon, and last but not least, the events system... <.<
