Ooh, reading Derv's post just gave me an idea relating to mapheight. How about having a setting where the developer could set the max height offset? :o

Hey, MGC. I see you're like me and respond to individual quotes. Heh. Happy

I think that's possible (but not beyond a height of 8 tiles). I just made some tests with all heights doubled, and there seemed to have no supplementary lag.
The main problem is the configuration. Perhaps I'll have to create a small external tool to associate tiles with theirs heights and textures.
Going up to 8 tiles in height? I was thinking just 4 myself. 5 if you consider the pre-defined 'priorities' settings that let you walk behind trees and such. And regarding an external tool... why not check the height of the 'Texture_' files when the maps load to garner the heightmap data? You could use a single tile that looks like brickwork and associate it with 'Texture_004' which could be 3-tiles/108px high.

For the moment, it's still really difficult, because the ISO engine works with a 3D gameplay, wheareas the HM7 modifies only what is displayed on the screen.
It must be the movement system. With the visually appealing system you created here and the new chase-view add-on requested by Kristovski (he beat me to the punch...), one could say you could have a faux-ISO system here.

Heh. I guess you mean that black(0,0,0,0) being absolute 0 heightmax and white(255,255,255,255) being 'max height' and the system recalculates the increments when the range at initialization. I wouldn't go beyond a 64 heightmap if that's the case (merely doubling the range if the heightmap goes to 32).

OMG MGC!
That's amazing, a piece of art.
Some things are kinda strange, like the jump command, that acts more like a fast slide, but it's in a early version, so it's normal.
Very interesting the way you used the textures and lightning to give a 3D feeling to the game.
Perfect for FFT and Disgaea like games.
Another great work, congratulations.

Best Regards!

That last value's the alpha/opacity. ;p But yeah, that pretty much sums up what I'm thinking. :)

Textures files are optionnal, so I don't think it's a good idea to read the height here.

PK8 & DerV > I like the idea of a "max height" setting but it will be applied on all the elements without distinction... So I don't know if it's really useful (or I didn't understand what you truly mean).

MetalRenard, blackheart & AzorMachine : thank you for your comments !

Oops ! I didn't try the jump command... (Must change that in the next version).

MGC hasn't been back since the recent hack, so I'm posting this little ... BUMP ... to version 1.1.

There were a few bug fixes, including a float-point thing he resolved. And he added the ability to have more than the default 4 sides for events and the player sprite. And for those interested, it does work with Cogwheel's Pixelmovement script.

I updated the link in the first post.
I must add that the DLL has changed since the v.1.0.
