Displaying DVs directly on the stats screen?

ShockSlayer · 2017-07-22 07:00:18

Has anyone ever actually done this specifically? I think I've seen at least one discussion about it but I can't seem to find it.

I've currently got the fourth stats page/characteristics code ported from TPP Anniversary Crystal, but I can't make heads or tails of how it works yet, so I'm not sure how to get it to just spit out the raw information into text.

I had a good friend help me out. It took quite a bit this morning, but the result was worth it. It even calculates the HP value!

This is just the relevant code; it doesn't have anything other than the DV text. On the plus side, you can drop this into any vanilla project fairly easily, edit the coords and call it on any of the stat screens. (pls leave credits in thank)
My personal taste was to display the numbers vertically, but it could easily be done as just two lines horizontally.

Anyways, it might not be the most optimal or efficient code, but I'm just happy it works.

I would love to implement this, where would I place this code? Super new to the disassembly and playing around with it yielded no results.

ShockSlayer · 2017-12-29 01:52:52

You can put it at the bottom of stats_screen.asm. It'll probably be more suitable to use if you port the fourth stats screen page.

Pagz · 2017-12-29 02:57:28

Oh I see... I'll try what you did at the top and port it from TPP and see how I go tonight. Thanks ShockSlayer!

ShockSlayer · 2017-12-29 02:59:49

Sure thing. If you get stuck, let me know, and I'll send you my version of the file. I don't remember 100% but I think everything is contained within the file, so you miiiight be able to replace it directly.

I tried to use this awesome code you posted, but the fourth stat screen I got from TPP doesn't show up. Is there anything I need to port or change besides fourth_stats_screen.asm?
