Lol, yeah, I probably would argue back. Guess it's a good thing you've deleted before I've saw it :).

Then what was "TylFrankTygard" comment about? Out of curiousity :/

Okay, out of curiosity, when I got back from work, I noticed there's a lot of posts were deleted in my thread. I'm just curious what did the posts said.

Ok, thanks for the answer. I think I'm going to try and start a hack then, but I have an admittedly naive question that I hope won't fluster you. Aside from the team discussion sub forum, is there a more conducive way of recruiting help with a hack? In all honesty, most of the threads asking for help in the TD sub look to be massively unsuccessful at either getting a hack done or drawing quality talent, and I'd like to avoid both of those fates.

Yeah, I'm not doubting you mathematical sense :P
The censorship on this website though, can't say that 4 letter synonym for digestive excretion.

I feel like you didn't read what I said, but rather disagreed and then echo'd it with more words :P

When I say linear curving, I'm referring to a 0 slope, a raise by a constant percentage. That may have been where we flew off.

Anyways, the Profs tend to curve the class average to some value, then apply the increase everyone's marks. That is to say, they curve a variable amount. So in a class of say 20 students, the median was 60, but the average was 50 then indeed the lower end marks get affected the most. However, if the average was say 60% and a median of 45% (kinda drastic, but just an example), then you'd notice that the curve applied to the class average is very very small. In the end the guy who scored 10% in this case can (probably, depending on the distribution) not hope to get over 20%. That was probably the ♥♥♥♥tiest explanation ever, but you get the idea.

I've taken calculus pretty much every year so far. I've studied from integration to real analysis and number theory for my program requirements (even done some linear algebra stuff, design, analysis of data, probability & statistics) . This grade curving problem is more like applying a function to a set of grade distributions than it is calculus.

Well, unless you do it linearly, there is no way to grade curve "fairly". Everyone with a unique grade will receive a different amount of free marks.

Yeah, because despite the large majority doing horrible, there's always those 1 or 2 guys who score high enough such that a linear increase would shoot them over 100%.

Not always good, sometimes I score a 65 and the prof curves up the grades for the average to hit 60%. I gain nothing from these, but I still retain my bad mark :D

Yup! Though sadly most of the time my mark is high enough that it doesn't get affected by the curve lol.

Hey, sorry for the disturbance but I have a question about rom hacking and I was told by darkrisinggirl you were the best person to answer it. In terms of the player's decision making during a game altering the gameplay (like how it works in the mass effect series), how complex can the changes to the game be depending on a player's actions in a gen 3 hack?

I have a relatively detailed idea for a hack, but it relies heavily on the player's decision(s) to align or fight the revolutionary organization of the story--decisions that would probably force even dialogue to change based on what the player chooses. Anyway, an answer would be much appreciated.

Sure, no problem, when I get home after school.

Lol. I actually think that im going to have trade evos though. I planned on making a big battle colloseum and a nice new trade area. What do you think about that?

I havent gotten to try out the position editor yet. But imglad its there i cant think of a program for emerald that has that.

I feel like I've posted too many times in your thread, so if you don't mind I'll post it here... The main error is that the program just closes after opening my rom...

Oh yeah, it happens after expanding the pokedex..

Hmm well that sucks
I'll just search topics in the research forum and see what happens lol.
Thanks!

Also, in your reply to my animation question, you said pokemon animations have a separate scripting language right? Do you have any links to documentations I can look at by any chance?

Awesome, now I have an ini file again! Thanks! Somehow, my original ini file from PGE got deleted lol

Hey Karatekid! Do you have a copy of Pokemon Game Editor with you by any chance? I think Gamer2020 pulled the link down...

How am I supposed to make a sexual innuendo joke about you now? D:

You are back to karatekid552. It was really nice to have a friend called onixkid552 and scytherkid552 though :).
