    Hello, I am currently working on a hack of the GB Pokemon TCG game. I am almost done with most of it, but then realized a potential source of frustrations near the end of pokemon programming: the fact that the AI may not know how to use the new attacks I made. The list (SRC -> Engine -> Duel -> AI --> Special attacks) is quite limited when compared to the number of new special attacks on Pokemon that I've made. I expanded the list by 1 entry, but then after that I get the following errors:

    error: src/main.asm(84) -> src/engine/duel/ai/core.asm(1811) -> src/engine/duel/ai/special_attacks.asm(31): jr target out of re
    ach (expected -129 < 129 < 128)
    error: src/main.asm(84) -> src/engine/duel/ai/core.asm(1811) -> src/engine/duel/ai/special_attacks.asm(15): jr target out of re
    ach (expected -129 < 131 < 128)

    I'm not sure what this means but it appears to imply that I can't make my list any bigger. Can anyone help me with this?

    I am just copying existing code to a new space whenever I do this. For example, I add:
    cp SEAKING
    jp z, .Teleport

    - And then get those errors. If I can't expand the list, is there a way to fill the cp line with multiple pokemon?

    Click to expand...
    The problem is that the jr instruction can only jump to code within 128 bytes of the instruction and your new code is causing the distance between the instruction and the jump destination to be greater than that.

    I think you might be able to just fix this by just replacing the jr instructions with jp.
