Escheron: Shadow over Ragnoth / "Lost Legends" for 84+, An ASM RPG

It uses the advanced(when MOS came out) technique of ram swapping. The 8KB limit can even be passed with the un-advanced technique of ram copying.

With ram copying the limit is:
24k - program size

With ram swapping the limit is:
24k

Basically the limit is imposed by TI's built-in assembly runner. Which means you can bypass it simply writing your own assembly runner.

Swap the program to $9D95
call $9D95

simple as that. (Well ram swapping isn't that simple, but you get the point.)

Well the 8KB limit is a thing of the past with advanced shells like MOS. 24KB is the limit now, and that is virtually impossible to break.

Secondly I like SVN better than email because it is easier to use, and also if IIRC you couldn't just sign up for a Gmail account.

Ah, alright I never thought of that.

So ctrl-j will make one mesh snap to the other one? And not add triangles to the inside of the mesh?

Alright, cool, and can someone point me to the SVN?

Liazon: It would be great if you could setup a SVN, and maybe we should put together some coding standards so we can modify each others code easier.

@Liazon: Ahhh, I used to have the answer to that question because Jim_e said so one time. He has been holding the "fixed" source on his HD, and you would have to ask him for it.

Also, yeah, it shouldn't be that flickery.

@grendel: Can I sign up for this project too, but I don't have a gmail account. :(sad.gif

Also if this was made in C, it would be much more maintainable, in my eyes. z80 assembly can be maintainable too, but I think it has to be done "right".

Hmm this seems like one of the most promising things that I have ever seen. So maps, data, NPC text, and all that is planned out for the most part or at least 50%?

If so I would love to help you with coding this project, if it is real. :Ptongue.gif

I think you have quite a gem on your hand.

@Liazon: Jim_e's interlaced GS mapper is pretty good with scrolling. And overall I wouldn't try rewriting the map, I would just run it in RAM.

Ah, yeah that makes it a bit clearer. I will try some graph paper.

@necro: Yeah, Blender is good, I have been using it for about a year. The workflow is far superior to that of 3DS MAX, and right up there with Maya. Either way, MAX and Maya don't contain a UV mapper that can even match that of Blender's

And ah, that is a little too many quads for a gun. Have you ever messed around with creating detail meshes, then game meshes with UV map coords on them, and running it through a program that produces a normal map from the detail mesh, and applies it to the game mesh?

Anyways, I have another question. I will try to explain this as best as I can.

Say I have a sword, and it has a bottom handle, and a top "sword part" :Ptongue.gif that I have not yet connected. Is there any way that I can possibly attach a vertex from the top part to a vertex on the bottom part?

I don't quite know how to do that.

Hmm well I tried looking at the RPGSK2 documentation, and tried plugging in my own maps, but I don't get how to setup the variables for the place to put the character when he is coming from the right, left, top, and down.

In the examples there are some crazy numbers for coming from the right like 1025 or something. Can someone explain how to setup the map list to me better? (tifreak)

Don't you have a TI Handbook handy to look up inString()?

It is hard for me to explain.

TI-BASIC / NPC dialogue?
« on: October 27, 2007, 07:07:00 am »
Well I used the instring method

Goes like this(in pseudo code):

instring(1,SlashYouWant)->A
instring(A,1)->B
B-A->length

sub(Str, A, length)

pretty simple

Well, this is how I used to solve it.

Have a string like this:

"/npc text 1/npc text 2/npc text 3" etc.

Then find out which NPC the player is talking to, and then from there you do an inString() look for the '/' that is NPC number. Does that make sense?
