^tantrum. I know I've been a huge meganoob in the past, but at least I changed. DreamDragon, the upvotes or downvotes or reputation counts aren't really significant here. It's mostly just a nice favor. Any upvoting usually doesn't mean much, but a downvot emeans you've seriously stepped over your bounds. Js.
I can't believe it took me this long that there is going to be an Xlib for the 84C

Gentlemen, I understand there is a pressing issue at hand but perhaps it could be handled outside of the xLIB thread.

Happy to field any xLIBC related questions, queries or suggestions!

That being said, i really do need to finish my example programs.

so i over stepped my bounds by simply stating how i feel?

Nah, you can say what you want, but since Omnimaga has rules, it doesn't mean there won't be any consequences. For example, if you say or do certain things to start a fight, falsely accuse people or are being confrontational to members for no valid reason (eg trying to enforce non-existent rules or complaining about downvotes) and you get caught, there will obviously be consequences (starting with downvotes).

Besides, when you are new on a forum and haven't contributed anything constructive yet, it's generally a bad idea to reprimand members who have contributed constructively for much longer than you. We are generally more tolerant about it on Omni, but not if the new member already broke the rules himself several times.


Anyway, this is off-topic, so if you feel that Omnimaga should become anarchy with no rules, you should PM the people in blue or yellow color directly or e-mail [email protected]. Let's discuss about xLIBC now (and especially if it will ever be updated again).

I'm still curious if in the future it will be possible to change the GRAM offsets btw? It would make it much easier to create side-scrolling games

Bug report: the xLIBC map drawing commands do not work when the map string is archived. In such case, real(3 does nothing at all.

With a smaller string (my original string was 43 KB large so it won't fit in RAM) I tried putting it in RAM and it works fine:



With it in archive this is what happens:

Is that... Reuben Quest

yes...in color
And it is looking amazing

What is GP

It should be noted that archived strings not working is not a bug, xLIB 84C has never advertised that it works with archived strings - its not meant to.

However, i can look into adding support for it by the next release, since it should prove useful for large maps. This however means that setTile will not work while a string is archived ... but maybe i can look into adding support for that too.


On the other hand, the screenies look sweeet.

By the way, would it be easy to add an extra, optional argument to xLIBC DrawMap so that if a tile ID is outside the tilemap boundaries, it just displays nothing there instead of the other side of the map/garbage? It could be handy for people who want to use scrolling maps without having to add full of extra columns on each side of their map data.
