| And if the hospital you're going to can't perform the sergery really soon, then you need to either pester the hell out of them to do it real' soon, or go to a different hospital that can help you even sooner. (edited by Atma X on 12-17-04 06:09 PM) |

Well that's cool (now I know of somebody who's interested in Sonic and SMW  ). Usually, I don't recognize names very well unless I can easily pronounce them without having to think about it for more than a couple seconds.Infact, whenever I did see your name, I just mentally pronouced it as something like Shwala (or something), becuase I only glanced over at it for a sec. And then the next time I see it, I end up pronouncing it differently, so I end up not recognizing it XD .Originally posted by HyperHacker lol, I didn't notice it at all. Though oddly enough, one thing I did noticed, is that all the Oldbies are posting in this Thread,... not even 1 Newbie so far  ...  . XD oh well, maybe they at least decided to glance in here.(edited by Atma X on 12-17-04 09:10 PM) |

Yea, I also came to the Board through Fu's site (but even before then, I had also been to Acmlm's home page). I actually saw the link to the Board, but wasn't interested until I had a question that I absolutely couldn't figure out on my own. As you can tell, I like to learn by using my Brain to figure things out,... rather than just asking someone else for the answers to all of my problems (talking to people and sharing information with each other is encouraged though  ).@ Mr. F-Zero: Yea lol, I'm glad I didn't get lazy. And becuase I didn't get lazy, I'm ready to start learning the 65816 (SNES ASM) language now. It takes a few years to get the proper knowledge and experience for that kind of stuff. And you must always think of new possibilites and different ways to make something work if you want to REALLY succeed at this, or anything below it (and not get the idea that this stuff is really hard to learn, or even too hard to learn). Another thing is, that learning how to program isn't everything, a good hack, and hacker also requires other skills. I know plenty of programmers on Acmlm's (and elsewhere) that can't make graphics very well (and some aren't very good with level design either), and so their hacks turn out to be interesting (because of the new stuff the've programmed in), but incomplete in my opinion (a good game should have good graphics, level design, etc. as well). Anyway, welcome davesacre. (you should also look at, and understand the above info  )(edited by Atma X on 12-18-04 04:30 AM) (edited by Atma X on 12-18-04 04:40 AM) |

Originally posted by HyperHacker To explain a little: This Pointer Table (like many, if not all others,... depends on the Code that sets it up) has some Code (routine I suppose,... code of some sort) that says, that starting at the Address it specifies, each Gfx/ExGfx # from 0-FF will be assigned 3 Bytes (the Bytes vary between Pointer Tables) and will follow in order by Gfx/ExGfx #. So the first 3 Bytes will specify an Address to load Graphics from, and will use the Graphics at that Address for Gfx/ExGfx # 00. Then, the next 3 Bytes will specify an Address to load Graphics for Gfx/ExGfx # 01, and so on, until it reaches the end of the Pointer Table. So if you want to change the Address in the Rom that the Graphics is being read from for a certain Gfx/ExGfx #, change the 3 Bytes in the Pointer Table that coresponds to that Gfx/ExGfx # to whatever you want,... and then it'll use a different Address to read the Grahpics from. You'll find that Pointer Tables (also refered to a Offset Indexes) are used in numerous places in any Rom (I personally like Pointer Tables a lot . They make things a lot easier).I hope this explination is helpful in some way. Also, thanks BMF for supplying those Addresses, maybe I'll have some use for it in a little bit.

Originally posted by Banedon Yea, you're right, I'm not a Newbie and I'm not introducing myself to anyone. But what better place for this Thread than a place where newbies to run into it. (though not many, if any have come by so far  ,... the're probably too busy talking about themselves [damm egotists ] to see what anybody else has to say,... or show them)Anyway, to be serious, I hope some of them actually do come by (...that was- my intention for posting it) (edited by Atma X on 12-18-04 03:30 PM) |

| It's because the Graphics are compressed (meaning that they are in a format that is designed to save space, and the game interprets/reads them differently then uncompressed graphics). Lunar Magic can help you with this. Read about Gfx and ExGfx (Graphics and Extra Graphics) in the Lunar Magic Help File,... and also the 8x8 Editor (and after you understand all that, then read about the 16x16 Editor).(edited by Atma X on 12-18-04 04:19 PM) (edited by Atma X on 12-18-04 04:21 PM) |

| I haven't had TLP crash in the longest time, which is because I know what makes it crash, so I avoid making those kinds of mistakes (though I avoid most of them naturally anymore) So actually, once you get to know TLP, it becomes very easy to use (I personally didn't like a few things in YY-CHR, things that were quite unfriendly,... and limited in some ways,... so I use TLP and avoid making mistakes that crash the program).

| Ok, I think I see what you're saying,... or at least part of what you're saying (so are you looking for the Address that it is loaded into RAM, so you can have part of the code in your Routine change it while the game is running, right?,... and then aside from that, you also need to figure out what way you need to write the Routine to make it function properly, correct?). Also, btw, I'm learning some of this stuff right now, so I may have some questions,... and I may explain something in a little too much detail (or explain something that you already know to make sure that I know how it works,...and then I may even get carried away and explain it as if you didn't know that yet,... um, so yea, sorry about that last post. I got a bit carried away on that) (edited by Atma X on 12-18-04 07:36 PM) |

| I can't think of everything off hand (I avoid most of the problems with out even thinking of them half the time,... because it has become so natural to me anymore), but for now, I'll name the one's that I can remember off hand. Note that the following things usually won't close TLP instantly: Clicking in the Bottom Right 8x8 Tile will cause it to complain, and it will close if you do certain things after that. I can't remember this one for sure, but I am most likely right,... but I think if you move & copy a Tile to the bottom right corner, it'll also complain, etc.. Exporting and setting a bitmap that's too wide (it won't close at first, but it will if you do certain things after that). Streatching an opened file too far in the wrong directions. Also, if you import bitmaps wrong in a few other ways (that I can't think of right now), it'll end up closing. I'll post more when I think of them. |

| I think one of the main reasons I didn't like YY-CHR was because I was not able to import bitmaps,... or not in a friendly way (I can't remember for sure if that's waht it was though. I'll have to look at that again because I knew it wouldn't allow me to do something that was essential to me when working with graphics). | |||

Well, any Files being opened in TLP and viewed in any of the Higher Graphics Modes must be at least 2000kb (Hex) in size (8192 in Decimal). That's what I do to make sure TLP doesn't complain, rather than streatching the File's window size before changing Gfx Modes (because it likes to complain a lot if you do it that way)Originally Posted by HyperHacker Before switiching Gfx Modes? I don't think it's ever done that to me before (unless I happened to open a File that was so small, that even in 1bpp Mode TLP complained about the Scroll Bar Being out of Range).

| Really, I sometimes have around 8 windows or more open and I still have no problems with it. How much RAM does your computer have Kyouji? |

| The only problem with that is when you go to make a new Post, it covers over part of the area where you type (because it shows all previous Posts that have been made in this Thread) Maybe one of the Admins or Mods should lock it, so no body can reply. I went ahead and placed the Flash file in the main area of my post so you can see how that works, and incase an Admin or Mod does come by and locks it, it'll be in the right place,... since I can't even modify an already exising Post if the Thread gets locked,... and also because it's more convenient for them not to have to move my stuff around for me.

| It's on whatever Gfx/ExGfx File that you want it to be on, because it uses the 3rd Page of the Sprite's Graphics if you were to view it in the 8x8 Editor (Tile #'s 366 & 376). (edited by Atma X on 12-20-04 10:12 PM) |

| Hmm, DAVALLR's Going to be unbanned on the second on January, but he's broken more rules than many of the other newbies that have been banned permanently,... I'm just a little curious as to why he's going to be unbanned ,... since there is about a 1% chance he's going to improve enough to stay unbanned(since his issue is obviously a major lack of Intelect... not to be harsh, but it's really hard to ignore) @ DAVALLR: Well, if you want to stay, just try not to be so noobish. If you have a basic question, it's best not to make Threads for them. Also, make sure you're Posting in the right Forum. If you have a basic quesion, do a little research (search Google on the Topic, or look around the Forum a little harder), if that doesn't work, then PM someone (send a Personal Message). Another tip is to not use Caps when typing (I'm not accusing you of it, I'm just pointing something out that many newbies do, that they shouldn't), and to use proper Grammar and Spelling as much as Possible. And using good Grammar includes using Commas and Periods when needed, otherwise the Person's sentences get mixed together, and it is hard to understand what the Person is trying to state. Also, watch this. It's funny, but has some good info for newcommers (try not to feel that it is making fun of newibes,... because that is not reason that I posted it). http://board.acmlm.org/thread.php?id=8588 |
