i just do a random, and then eventually i weigh it so that its all balanced.
but with under 200 different AI's and like four times as many combinations of abilities to handle, it does seem daunting.
hmmm.
you should inquire certain hackers in some ROM networks how the original AI works

This is the new Event engine, it uses lists to tell the NPC and Char where to go. I could totally make the game out of just this... just let the players suffer through it playing all by itself... BWHAHAHAhahaha... *cough-hack*
Anyways..
These show that you can enter either of the two * and still make it to the door. I still have a couple things to add. Like 1, make it so that you don't force Prof. Oak up the front of his lab, and 2, see about adding in the door/stair detection at the end of the loop, so that it actually will see it.

Besides, they are not that big, and don't take long to load.
Also have been improving on that engine of mine, once I get it to where you go inside, I will see about posting a screenshot.

Total Posts: 39 | How/what are you using to store and recall text, because I am in the process of making a game that is on a similar scale as this (as much Basic as possible w/asm utilities), and I have to say text seems awfully inefficient to store as is. Another question I have is how you account for items, after bought and when looking in your items bag? And I agree with you that Celtic2 is acting weird (not only from my other post), now I can't create programs through it anymore! But I love what your doing here it is the game I look forward most to(besides mine own.) Lastly could you tell us where we could find some of the asm utilities you're using? I have Celtic2, but you're using at least 3 and I feel that I could probably benefit from acquiring these. Thank you!

Total Posts: 419 | Well, Resource is on ticalc.org, just search for it in the archives. As to the others, I am unsure if they were released to the internet or not.
Also, are you talking about dialogue text, or map text, or what? For the most part, it is just text in a program stored to string variables. The items will be stored via lists. I plan on changing the current items system, because, well, it sucks. I will use a format, such as Item#.Qty per element. This *should* allow me to make the items movable in the list. But, that will wait until I get that far. ;)
As to celtic2 acting weird, that only happens when the values are not stored correctly, as if you are expecting something to stay the same but it does not. I have not had any major issues to date, once I got all bugs out of the programs.

As for text I was wondering about dialogue text.
As for Celtic2, whenever I try to use it to create a program, it doesn't and sends back the error "..P.IS.FN" it is totally strange
Anyway thanks once again and sorry for plugging up your forum!

As to creating a program, make sure you have it set like this:
4->/theta/
"NAME->Str0
That will create a program. if it still screws up, maybe you should get the copy I have out of the beta I posted a bit back...
Progress:
I promise, I have not been super lame for the last bit. Here is a screenshot to prove it!
Working next on getting it to see the pokeballs...
This screenshot shows how that an NPC can be forced off screen and brought back with no trouble. :D life is good.

I should start a new topic.. but meh.
Anyways, got tangled up in the variables, so I have been writing out the code so I can see about getting that all straightened out and optimized to the best of my ability.
also thinking about revamping the items system, to make it like the original system. Shouldn't take too long for that, honestly.
Umm.. I don't think I showed it here, but I also revamped the pokedex. I will have to look back and see if I ever posted a screenshot.. <<

Total Posts: 419 | I have been going through some of this code.. and realized that for just the starter program alone I had left chunks of unneeded code from previous versions. XD oh wow, it annoys me.
Also, in the game now, instead of having
"0
prgmZRS
I am simplifying those to
prgmZC1
Mainly because I call on that function of RESOURCE so often. =/ I figured it up, it would take 7 times to call prgmZC1 to make it worth the effort. prgmPOKEMON calls it 4 times by itself. So yeah, more savings of RAM.
for the border display program, using Ans as a list to store the values, and immediately call the program, where it will store from Ans to the correct variables. Same thing with prgmZSP, for the values on where the sprites are to go.
It is interesting to see, just in two programs I have worked on, how much blue pen ink I have used correcting things. XD
I also took the liberty to create the version as it is now as 0.1.7a, as a placeholder to know how much RAM/ROM is being used up. At this time, between pics and prgms, the game takes 89,659 bytes. I am eager to see what the changes I make to the game affect the amount of space it uses.

Total Posts: 419 | I have managed to redo the items system a bit better, as it will now scroll through the list of items so long as it is greater than 4. I plan on adding page turning, so to speak, to be a little quicker to get through the list, plus I need to add in the ability to move the items around in the list. Plus I have to devise a way to remove an item from the list once it is used up. Oh the fun..

Total Posts: 419 | And something for the masses: 
Currently, only the scrolling and page by page turning is working. I still need to add:
X -the ability to move an item
X -the ability to toss an item
X -the ability to use an item
Using an item won't happen until I get it to where you can have a pokemon to use one on. That will be somewhat difficult, as each item does different things. I will also need to devise a dynamic routine for all the TMs and HMs, since they will all essentially do the same, and make it easier, but if the pokemon knows 4 moves already, it will have to replace the selected move with the TM/HM.
Oh what fun.. I think I will work on moving an item and tossing an item to at least get those out of the way. =]

Total Posts: 419 | Well, expect more progress on this now that I have an easy way of converting programs to appvars and back again. I probably will complete the celtic2 helper program at a later date.
Thanks to Kerm for making this program as quickly as he did. Hope it invigorates him into making some progress on DCS7 soon. ^^
So, next bit of work for me to do for the project is to convert the data programs to appvars and making the game engine recognize the data as such. From there, I have to figure out if the event system is still working. <<
Actually, I need to go through and see if the game itself still works, since that has not been tested since I did the massive bit of code clean up a while back. Let you know how that goes.

just having something ready to play unloads a bit of stress in the matter, and tackling some of the more, daresay, noticeable pieces of the puzzle feels more noteworthy and will keep you chugging along nicely :) also then you could, say, release different versions of what you have, constantly adding new pieces, then youd feel more accomplished ;)

Total Posts: 419 | Progress is still on going with the event system code. I was sadly ill most of last week, with some odd form of virus that had given me a massive headache from saturday until thursday, and a flu bug on monday.
Feeling decent enough now, finally getting some progress done with the pokemon shift routine, from when you catch it in the wild. Absorbing it into the party of 6 is complete (on paper, not tested) and I am currently writing the code out to put them in the proper PC box. This code is a bit.. complex, to say the least. I am writing code, that will create a program and write code based on which box number was last successfully uploaded to, and scans it for an open slot. If all slots are full, it moves on to the next pc box and starts the process over again.
So.. I am writing code.. that has to write code as a dynamic program, which calls an asm program to convert a list to a string, and then unarchive the proper pc box appvar, and write the pokemon data to it.
Probably the most complex BASIC/Celtic hybrid code I have written yet.
