New Direction

[Super Speler]

I think it's time to push this project through to completion. Here are my proposals:
-Eliminate Enemies
-Eliminate Story
-Add More puzzles, and a more mazey map (some puzzles that don't really lead anywhere)
-More puzzle mechanics
-Lots of minigames

Thoughts?

I second that motion. Everything we have up till now would still work. Just need to add to it.

[luby]

I play the Necropost coupled with a "Bytes Recycler" to bring both this topic/forum and program back from the graveyard.

Well, I started editing Protocol to make it more puzzle oriented. So far, not hard. I just removed the EMP and modified one or two rooms. I would suggest we leave the laser in, so we can use it in future puzzles.

[Super Speler]

That sounds good. I think I'll put my other RPG down for a couple weeks and try to work a lot more on this project. Tomorrow I'll brainstorm some other puzzle mechanics we can use and try to code them in.

[luby]

Here's what I've done. The Screenshot is right after the 3rd node.

I coded some puzzle mechanics also... I'll upload them later this vacaction.

[luby]

What's up?

[bananaman]

It's summer now and I have some free time. If I got the latest version of the code, I would be interested in trying to help again.

[luby]

I'll look for it (had a major memory clear, but I think I have a copy somewhere)

[luby]

Allright, I think this is the latest version

[bananaman]

If it's not too much to ask. Could you possibly not send it in group format. The mac version of Ti-Connect doesn't handle them very well and neither does wabbitemu.

[luby]

Okay. except, I can't find a way to send you the pics. The compression doesn't like them.
The best I've come up with is this:
http://www.luby.unitedti.org/project/protocol/Pic1.8xi
http://www.luby.unitedti.org/project/protocol/Pic2.8xi
http://www.luby.unitedti.org/project/protocol/Pic3.8xi

You might have to rename them to pic 110,111,112, I think.

[bananaman]

I still was not able to transfer the pics to my calc, but I was able to transfer them to wabbitemu. They were already lbl'd 110,111,112. So I used xLib to store them into pics 1,2,3 then sent them to my calc and then transfered them back to their proper numbers.

After all of this, I still can't tell what program to run to start.

What else still needs to be done with the project?

Edit: I can't get the program MAPS to transfer to my calc. I am assuming this one is really big and holds all of the data for the different maps.

[luby]

XT(theta)N will start

Hmm.. you do kind of need maps for it to run. What error are you getting??

[bananaman]

The weirdest thing just happened. I was actually able to send prgmMAPS to my calc when I tried it again to see what error message it was creating.

Edit:
I figured out what the problem with the group is. The mac version of TI-Connect is stupid. It tries to be smart and when you send a group to the calc it ungroups it and then sends the original files. There is no option whatsoever to send the group as a group to the calc.

Unfortunately when I sent the files to wabbitemu and changed the pics, I failed to realize that I cannot transfer the files to my computer.

Could you possibly save those pics as 1,2, and 3 (don't just change the filename, save them on your calc and then retransfer.)

[luby]

This should be it.
note: since the calc doesn't care what we call them on the computer, I renamed them 110,111,112 instead of their weird other names, but anyway, pic0 is 110, pic1 is 111 and pic 2 is 112

[bananaman]

Thanks for all this work just to let me be able to see where the project is right now.

[luby]

no problemo. Have you been solving it?
