Yeah I noticed that x.x. That said it might be good to clarify it on the DCS wiki in case more people get confused.

On a side note, how goes bug fixing?

Yeah ill be sure to update the wiki once its released. The bug fixing is going well, im nearly there i think :).

Good to hear. Hopefully it can come out soon with the official DCSE release. As the 1st 84+CSE shell with xLIBC combined, it should hopefully become mainstream as 84+CSE program, since it will pretty much run every hybrid and ASM game.

Also as seen on IRC, I'm glad you added a load tile into temp RAM feature. For games that only uses a few sprites this should be handy, since we won't be wasting an entire 8192 bytes of RAM just for 12 sprites. :)

Yeah that features should be handy although it will take some understanding of how sprites are structured in memory from a data perspective, but i can help out with that :).

Also the conversion tool now does nearest colour matching with the xLIB palette as well.

I have also made the DRAWSTRING_VALUE function return the converted value as a string in Ans if anyone would find that useful.

I am busy testing everything as much as i can prior to release, if anyone has any other bugs etc can they please let me know. Also if anyone just wants to test out random functions to see if they work i would be grateful as well :).

Sounds cool. I wonder if returning the converted DRAWSTRING_VALUE to Ans could pose problems in certain situations though? That said, I guess we can just temporarily store the old value elsewhere in case we need it afterward.

So far I found no other bug, btw. I need to try some functions I didn't use yet, though.

Tr1p1ea, I found a bug with DrawSpriteBGB D:

:real(0,1,1
:real(5,0,0
:
:"000102030405060708091011121314151617181920212223242526272829303132333435363738394041424344454647484950515253545556575859
:Ans+Ans+Ans+Ans+Ans→Str0
:For(Z,0,1
:real(3,0,0,0,20,10,0,0,19,14,1
:End
:real(1,1,0,76
:real(1,1,1,56
:While 1
:real(4,5,0,1,2,2,0,0,160,0,20,10
:real(2,2,0,1,1,1
:real(4,1,0,1,1,1,0,0,112,1,0,21
:End

Basically, no matter the value of uservar #1 (which I use as Y value), the background will always display the same row of tiles from the tilemap, like if the tilemap Y always started at zero. X works fine, though. When I use TI-OS values, I don't have this problem. For example, the following code works fine:

:real(0,1,1
:real(5,0,0
:
:"000102030405060708091011121314151617181920212223242526272829303132333435363738394041424344454647484950515253545556575859
:Ans+Ans+Ans+Ans+Ans→Str0
:For(Z,0,1
:real(3,0,0,0,20,10,0,0,19,14,1
:End
:real(1,1,0,76
:real(1,1,1,56
:While 1
:real(1,0,0->A
:real(1,0,1->B
:real(4,4,A,B,2,2,0,0,160,0,20,10
:real(2,2,0,1,1,1
:real(4,1,0,1,1,1,0,0,112,1,0,21
:End

???
EDIT: Nvm, fixed. It's because map width is an uservar too, but wiki didn't specify that.

We spoke on irc about this issue, and at least it isnt really a bug, rather the documentation needs to be more descriptive :embarrassed:.

For others looking on the MAPWIDTH argument also needs to be a uservar reference when calling the B version of DrawSpriteTileBG.

Also HOORAY! DCSE8.0 has been released! Remember, remember! The Fifth of November! :D.

Indeed, I was happy when I saw it was out. :D

Some clarification:

Real(10 is actually Real(9 since xLIBC merged into DCSE. It was just not updated in the doc. This is why Real(10 didn't do anything. >.<

Feature suggestion for the map functions: A mode which supports 1-bit tiles. That way, people who only uses two kind of tiles per map would have much smaller map data. There could be an extra argument allowing the use of three kind of tiles, where you would choose a 3rd tile for walls (rather than just floor and ceiling). Both the ceiling and floor would be 0, while the floor would be 1, and whether a wall or ceiling tile appears would be determined based on if the tile right below it is a floor tile.

Maybe an option to have a cliff tile instead of wall (displaying below the floors instead of above) would be nice too.

Illusiat 6, 7, 9, 10, 11, 12, as well as Mystique and many parts of Mana Force 2 and the Reign of Legends series used such map format and Illusiat 12/Mana Force 2/ROL series used the triple tiles trick. Most maps in those games were stored inside pictures (8xi files), in which each tile were 1-bit.

I would definitively be helpful, otherwise if me or someone was to ever port Illusiat 12 to the 84+CSE, for example, map data would be 8 times larger O.O

Note that all xLIBC development from me is now halted until further notice. Don't ask why, I'll just know Friday if it continues or not. For the time being I'll simply focus on bug testing and posting feedback.

It isn't really flooding as double (tripple, quadruple, ...) etc posts are allowed if the last post is more than a day ago, which is clearley the way in this case.

On a side note tr1p1ea, since xLIB is starting to get old, a lot of younger TI-Z80 programmers are probably unaware of what the original version was, here. So as a suggestion, I would change the topic title to xLIB 84C - fast ASM lib for BASIC programmers or something like that, to attract more people. :P
Wasn't it that you have to put stuff in ans and then call Asm(prmXLIB ?

And nice thingy, the xlib for the cse!
i /really/ should get one...........

indeed you should.
i have one!!!!! :evillaugh:

OH, and omnimaga?( :mad:)
hate to be critical, but what you are doing IS FLOODING.
O.O
since its only fair, pls use the modify button.

As Sorunome said, it isn't flooding. Even if it were, you need to be more polite when saying things to people. Furthermore, you should let staff deal with posts if there is a problem. Thank you.

What Soru and Art said. You are beginning to sound trolling/provocative there (since it is the 2nd time in a week). I find it ironic that people who constantly double-post or get warned for spamming suddenly starts reprimanding others for doing the same thing. They should start improving first before telling others what to do.
