Thanks Builder.

I have managed to get a bit done with the GUI. I think all that is left is to do for the display at this moment is display the player's pokemon and data info and the options.

Edit:

I managed to get the code theoretically up to the point where it will display the fight options, and the start of the RUN function. Go me!

lol I shall definitely try to do so. I have made some progress with the code for the GUI. It should, in theory, post the NPC and player sprites, display the text that NPC TRAINER wants to fight, clear out NPC TRAINER sprite and display TRAINER POKEMON and generate the stats for it, plus display said stats, the ones that are important, anyways.

Been chipping away at the battle system. I'd rather not try to update 2 different forums with the code, so you can see what I am working on code wise here: http://www.cemetech.net/forum/viewtopic.php?p=129899

This is like the 5th revision of the battle GUI. I hope it will be the last.

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.

They are going to be displayed with the asm program, Just got to finish the sprite compressor to work with single sprites passed to it instead of a complete program. ><

smitty: yeah, it definitely isn't going to be greyscale, I need to remove the 'colors' from the sprites and make them strictly black and white sprites, then resize them. Hoping to have time to try tomorrow when I don't have tons to do.

Just work. And at the end of the day I am so tired I can't bring myself to do a ton of much of anything. I have troubles sleeping at night, and life has just sort of been.. not worth much to me. Things have been changing though over the last year, so yeah. Trying to keep up progress, work just keeps overworking me at times.

Progress as it stands now, working on making those 56x56 sprites into 32x32 sprites, thanks to KermMartian for showing me how.

Basically, I am wondering if there are any sprite artists that could shrink those down to fit in a 32x32 and still look good. I have cropped the sprites as they are, but you really only see a face and part of the body in most, but you can tell they are different people in each. It was a suggestion made in the main pokemon topic, so yeah. Anyone that would have the time and inclination to help? They would need to be straight black and white, I can get the hex of them myself, so no need to go that extra bit.

Thanks in advance!
