I'm not sure what went wrong with your code, but the way you're doing it is kinda convoluted. The det(5 function returns the line as a string in Ans, so using "expr(Ans→[A]" will work just as well.

THAT'S the function I couldn't remember the name of!
Thanks, that ought to fix it.
LINEREPLACE and LINEWRITE have always had glitches for me... this will do a lot better.

I have not played with Celtic, might work with it someday and be able to help you

I've been really sick all day... but I got something done so far.
All 12 maps (for the first zone outside, there will be more for caves and such) is now stored in a program.
It sucks typing out multiple 8x8 matrices... >_<
I'll do what I can to get a version up that can explore the new areas tonight.
I don't know if I'll be done enough by my standards though.

We'll see... if not tonight then definitely tomorrow.

I think you might like Draw'n'Map (see TI RPG programming tools archives) just backup first

The matrix editor that comes with TI-connect is actually pretty nice (

amazing that TI-Connect is useful for something, ain't it?). It only takes me a few minutes to create the 32x32 matrices for Chip's Challenge.

Draw n Map is nice, I just made my own back when xlib came in app form and adjusted it as my needs changed

.

DJ Omnimaga · « **Reply #172 on:** January 24, 2009, 03:56:31 pm »

true, the only downside is that it doesn't support matrices under 12x8, which gave me a lot of trouble when working on Metroid II The Last Chozo Expansion Set

Yeah, well a simple modification could fix that ( or a few ). Is Draw N Map created my Nikacu?

DJ Omnimaga · « **Reply #174 on:** January 24, 2009, 04:06:50 pm »

I actually had a modified version that had 4 level grayscale support, but it was horribly slow and grayscale sucked on the non-SE model. I doubt I have this anymore

Draw'N'Map was made by Lolje and Spellshaper/Spelli. The image editor part was by Lolje and the map editor by Spellshaper

Yeah, I need 8x8 so it wouldn't help much.

It's not too bad now... I was just complaining.
Anyway, I have a working version that can explore the first zone now, but... I'm thinking of a way to handle random encounters.
Or creature encounters in general.
I could just have randomly generated creatures spawn upon loading the map. Then you could either skip them, or battle them.
Or come up with a good way of handling random encounters. I have a feeling I'll either have them pop up every step... or not nearly often enough.
Or something else that evades my imagination...

DJ Omnimaga · « **Reply #176 on:** January 24, 2009, 07:59:09 pm »

i usually have randon encounters so that when the map engine first loads, a number from 10 to 50 is randomly set to a variable and every step it goes down by 1 and when it reaches 0 it triggers a battle, then it's set again to a number from 10 to 50. Illusiat 6, 7, 9 through 12, the 2004 remakes of 1 through 4, ROL series, Mana Force 2, Reuben series as well as Mana Force 1 newest versions (the ones with two difficulty settings) all had this system. In Reuben it was 10 through 30 though

With your system, (I found 50 too high though and lowered it slightly) I now have a working set-up.
I lack a good recorder though. I lost my old program with my new computer... and WabbitEmu isn't doing very well.

So, I'll see what I can do about that... I'd release it for download, but there's a few features I want to add before I do this.

Great, I would suggest being able to have a item (to buy in game) that worked like in pokemon (the repel potion) so that you can not have encounters while the potion was effective..

DJ Omnimaga · « **Reply #179 on:** January 25, 2009, 03:31:07 am »

oh true 50 might be quite high for some games, I had it setup that high because most of my RPGs had incredibly huge maps that took a while to go through
