Does anybody know of a good tutorial that tells you how to use raw files when programming in C? I also need a tutorial that tells you how to use pal files when using C. Your help would be greatly appreciated.

Are you using that tool that I told you about?
All you have to do is copy the raw data to VRAM and the palette data to palette memory.

yeah i'm using that tool you told me about
could you give me a example of copying the raw file to VRAM and the pal file to palette mem?

Well, I can't really give you an example since I only used the tool when I was still using the HAM SDK but it should be something like this:
Just suppose you had a 16x16 size sprite called sprite:
| Code: |
// How to copy the palette
u16* temp = (u16*)sprite_Palette;
for (loop = 0; loop < 256; loop++)
OBJPaletteMem [loop] = temp [loop];
// How to copy the sprite data
u16 loop;
u16* temp = (u16*)sprite_Bitmap;
for (loop = 0; loop < 16 * 16 / 2; loop++)
OAMData [loop] = temp [loop];
|
There is one more thing though. When copying to sprite mem that isn't at index 0, more math has to be done. But I have decided to do it for you. Here is an example of copying data to tile index 512 with a 16x16 sprite. Just replace 512 with the tile index you want.
| Code: |
u16 loop;
u16* temp = (u16*)sprite_Bitmap;
for (loop = 512*16; loop < (16 * 16 / 2) + (512 * 16); loop++)
OAMData [loop] = temp [loop-(512*16)];
|
It should work. I just tested it.
