Homebrew PokédexDS

[alex]

Thanks!

I'm happy.
So any clue on a demo release? hmm?

 

[Wabsta]

@Social: Why?
@Alex: Nope, but definatly not in august...

EDIT:
Sites down.
Dreamweaver thought that it was a lot of fun to save everything twice, in my root, and in my PokedexDS folder. And it also thought that it had to replace the index

There goes the site I was working for today.

Damnit.
I'm going to make an all new site, with a new host, and not saving to my ftp using dreamweaver, but another FTP program.
So sites down for a while.

Working on the Pokedex now.. Will try to get it as detailed as possible.. Will post a screenie shortly....

 

[CurleyAU]

Ok, so far I have done what is shown below.. But... I would like to know any improvements.. e.g, Maybe changing the region buttons... etc..

Its not perfect but its only a draft.. Improvements have to be made of course, as do most things, But i would like to ask everyone.. What do you want??

AND.. Can anyone maybe point me in a direction to a new program I can use.. Photoshop will not let me put text on.. Actually it will but it looks shit..

EDIT: Actually never mind, Microsoft word will work and it looks good..

EDIT: Newer Pokedex, Looks better.. Methinks

Nice!
Also, Alex... If you want I have some other images for the alternate uservars, if you want... I spent ages on deviantart and on google looking for good pics, an I FOUND SOME!

Ok, What does everyone want me to do next? I can;t really do anything at this time...
So... Of my own initiative, I'm hacking into said awesome pokedes program and extracting everything I can find, If theres anything more urgent, please tell me.

EDIT: Hey, Curley. Add an "options" button, and make a soft reset button, that is the same size as the power button. Then we can set soft reset from the options menu.

 

[CurleyAU]

will do..

 

[Wabsta]

Wow! Very nice!

Few requests:
Could you add a Menu button? And Im not fond of the font. Could you use a Pokémon font?

Antoligy:
The font Plaino sent me was kinda unuseable... Do you still have that font?

 

[Frederica Bernkastel]

will do..

Thanks!

Here you are Wabsta:
I compiled ALL of my pokemon font files:
Here: Pkmnfonts.zip

 

[Wabsta]

I need the font in a image file:

Custom font

Basically, a custom font is a tiled background, each tile representing a specific character. Here is a basic custom font layout:

The layout is very important, each character has its very own coordinate in this layout, so don’t mix them up (unless it’s voluntary). A character has the same size as a tile (8×8 pixels). You can edit this layout to make your own custom font.

For a more accurate editing, I suggest you to display a grid (8×8 pixels) in your favourite graphics editor, like this (zoomed):

One more thing to know about this layout, is how to differentiate capital from normal letters. In this example, capital and normal letters are the same. In fact, the first letter line is for capital letters and the second line is for normal letters.

But, nvm, I'll do it myself (again, last time didn't work out).
Okay, today, I won't have time to work on it. I'm spending time with my girlfriend

But, tonight, I will work on it, untill the region buttons work.

Oh, and probably, I will work on the site.
First wabsta.com, and then I will install some real blogware, for the PokédexDS site.

 

[CurleyAU]

What type of font should I use??? Im using Microsoft work and want to know what font.. I will work on it tomorrow.. I have to go now..

Hey, for the site, I recomend installing wordpress...
Or using blogspot and making an Iframe, cause with blogspot, other people from the project can be allowed to post.
For the blog, you can design a better homepage and use a RSS feed from the blog, that automaticly shows the latest posts, like the one I se for DStemp.com

Could you PM me, and tell me how you did DStemp?
With blogspot and iframes (I know both, but not in combination

).

ok...
for DStemp, I chose to do a RSS feed, and so I searched on google, and forund "feedinformer" who take your blog/sites RSS feed, and put it onto a script which displays it.
You need to sign up, but its free... AND:
For iframe, you simply instead of posting text, post a link starting WITH HTTP:// and tell it to go where the site you want to be displayed. (kinda like your old site!)
Then the user reads the content inside the iframe, instead of some content replacing the page!
Hope I helped, I'm really good with code based websites!

[Wabsta]

@Antoligy:
Yes, I already knew about the iframe, it's just that I was afraid that it wouldn't fit.
Because most of the blogs I see, have a menu themself!
So, that wouldn't be very nice.
But I'll look into it tonight

@Curley:
http://www.upokecenter.com/pkmnfonts.zip
Could you use this font?

 

[CurleyAU]

I cant really.. I was just wondering what type of font I could use in Microsoft word to do this.. Anyway I have to go.. Stoopid school.. At least its friday

 

[superdude]

good luck with this

 

[Wabsta]

Okay, thanks.. I guess?

Curley, why don't you just install the font? Then it will be useable in all your software...
So in word, in works, in photoshop, everything

Oh, I'm not really able to work on it tonight, because I don't sleep at home.
So I promise a nice update tommorow night(GMT+1)/day after tommorow.
