After looking for something like this on the forums and zcwiki, I made a "map grid" with the non-hexadecimal screen numbers, which you might need if working with warps or such in zscript. So I thought I should share it with you guys in case anyone needs it.

 

 

One of the few times that Excel was useful to me.

Oooh, very handy. Me Like!

This is actually really useful. Thanks for making that, this makes scripting screen and map related stuff easier!

Ooh, this is very handy. Thanks! Just so you all know, since it's a related topic, there is a way to convert hex to decimal in ZC. If you're working with warps and such, just type in "0x*screen number in hex*", for example, "0x5D", and ZScript will handle the rest. You can't do this for the argument for a FFC or item script though, so this grid will still come in handy for those situations.

Yes that's exactly what I'm using it for Russ, FFC "tile"warps.

You've got to me kidding me Russ. 0x7F is screen 7F. Holy crap, that's going to make making scripted screen thingies so much easier.

I don't like having to convert stuff from hex to decimal in order to use a script, so I prefer to use two arguments (column and row) for the screen number like this:

Screen->SetSideWarp(0, ScreenC+ScreenR*16, DMap, WT_IWARPBLACKOUT);

It makes it a little easier to set up warps and if you have some basic knowledge of ZScript you can tweak older scripts to work the same way.

That's actually a interesting resolution of the hexidecimal problem Moosh. In fact I recall doing something similar with a combo changing thing from the game boy games. You know the things in the fire dungeons that turned lava to stone.
