huh, whats Axe?

Come on, seriously? -.-

Well, it says he was last active only 4 hours ago

Anyway, good luck with this project and all that; it looks great so far...

*necropost

Um. Well, I have no safeRAM to use for holding the "last" save file, so I've been using the 256 bytes at $8000. Can anyone affirm that this is safe, or tell me what procedures corrupt it? It seems to be very difficult (to say the least) to make dying behave the way I want it to, so unless I can figure out what is going wrong I may just opt for going to the main menu on death. It will make the save file half the size and improve on size within the main app as well

edit: Well, it seems like $8000 is ok....I'll try and figure this out though

Btw, here is the code for loading/saving/making restore points/dying if anyone can figure out what is wrong with it...

Edit: case closed, bug found.

Wouldn't having a large, detailed overworld take up the same amount of space (unless you are purposely making it emptier for RLE purposes)?

Anyway, I'm not sure what I'd want...Obviously a large overworld that is just...empty is no good, but having an extremely cramped one (like the original pokemon ones) won't necessarily be better. Like all the other questions, I'd say try and find a balance

Du-dudu!
Ash:Phoenix Demo 3rd Release

Changelist:
Fixed that annoying shop bug that caused RAM clears
Fixed other annoying shop bug that made selling anything except for stuff in the first slot impossible
Fixed other annoying shop bug that made you sell all your stuff if you sold the first item in the slot
Fixed NPC convo bug that would prevent getting weapons in Kumaso Tower, and in the case of the dagger, get it twice
Fixed bug with battle engine that would trigger only after talking to NPCs with conversations over 40 characters
Fixed bug with battle engine that triggered only on lower level opponents because of a divide-by-zero
Adjusted some enemies' stats
Small cosmetic changes (shift stuff around by a couple of pixels)
Changed a few tiles to make gray look slightly less horrendous (it still is annoying in the main town though)
Added scrolls to the engine (but you can't get any in the demo)
Fixed bug with item gaining where the item gained would appear on the top of the screen
Made frequency of item gain lower
Changed Wasteland map to make it a bit more...chaotic.
Added the Eastern Pass area, complete with 3 new enemies and new tiles. Get there by talking to the king after defeating the robed bandit
Fixed bug with level up system where you'd gain way too much after leveling up
Made the skill learning system work if you don't have an empty moveslot
Fixed bug with level up system where you'd learn the same move over...and over..and over again every battle
Added a stat change after you choose your weapon and class
Fixed bug that allowed enemies to select a 5th move...when they only have 4 moves
Added fake wordwrapping and variable-spaced font to NPC engine
Fixed bug with save file and dying
Centered/adjusted "Victory" dialogue box
...and some other stuff

And with all this stuff added, the app's total change in size is....42 bytes smaller




Enjoy! This build *should* be bug free!

Edit: and, of course, it's not . Check this post for the newest build

optimized:

Code: [Select]

("THIS TEXT WILL BE SCROLLING DOWN, AND IT WILL BE WRAPPED SO IT FITS THE SCREEN. HOWEVER, SOME WORDS MAY BE CUT HALF")
sub(TX)

@leafiness: are you interested in wordwrapping, or is having some words cut in half acceptable?

What happens if you try to compile an app with Axe? Does that allow you over 6 apps?

I might try and fix this up later... and yeah i know it's 24x21 The dimensions just didn't work out well, I even ended up not using 2 pixels on the side
