Questions about the mode-7 - Talesdreamer - 03-17-2014

I want to use a mode-7 script for my little project, but I found lots of different scripts for this effect... H-mode 7, New mode 7, Neo mode 7, tons of other generic scripts. Which one should I use?
I don't care about vertical textures, heightmaps and map rotation, I just need the popup effect + maybe a zoom in/out function. The simpler, the better.
I want to keep the lag at minimum! Because I'd like to have the battles directly on the map, Chrono trigger style. Do you think it could work? I'd use a turn-based battle system without ATB. Slow pacing, few animations, no lag! (I hope)
What if I zoom on the characters during the battle, so there will be less background to render? Things should run pretty smoothly, right?

One last question: mode 7 + a better resolution. Is this possible? I fiddled with the scripts and I think they can become compatible, but again, the lag scares me.

Sorry if they are vague questions. I know the answer to everything is "try it", but I'm not really a scripter and I don't know how to make it all work together... I prefer to understand if it's possible before stressing a scripter for the work. :3


RE: Questions about the mode-7 - DerVVulfman - 03-17-2014

NeoMode7 by MGC already has a map-zooming feature pre-built. Fairly decent but rewrites a bit of the default scripts. And you need to have his custom .dll file in your project. Extras, it has map rotation. As to having it so the battles directly on the map, I am not sure if you need a patch to work with any existing 'map for battleback' script.

Mode7 by MGC. Smaller and older. Not bad, but has fewer features. It does NOT have a prebuilt camera zoom feature, so you may not wish to use it. But it doesn't require any external .dll file. His pastebin link therein was busted, so I uploaded two versions he had available at the bottom of his thread. It is more likely to be compatible with existing systems... mebby even a map for battleback. Can't say for sure.

IF you are using a resolution script (say Selwyn's), you will likely need a dll for it. Selwyn's DLL an attachment to the thread, and I added my own variant that allows up to 1024x768 games ... if you tweak it enough. BUT, you may need to do a little work with any HMODE script to get it to recognize that many tiles on the screen at a time.


RE: Questions about the mode-7 - Talesdreamer - 03-18-2014

I did some testing!
I used the following scripts, FOR SCIENCE:
- Goldaryn Multiple Resolution Kit 2.1
- ACBS - Atoa Custom Battle System 3 for the battles on map thing
- MGCaladtogel's Mode-7 sript because is old but very light

The results:
- ACBS and the multiple resolution kit aren't friends :<
[Image: RjS8tk8.png]

- The ACBS doesn't like the Mode-7 script, either: the camera flips to a standard map view as soon as the battle starts.
I'm starting to think doing the battle system old-style, using only events, would be the better choice...

- On the other hand, the Mode-7 and the resolution kit might be good friends! I just changed some digits here and there, and obtained promising results:

I'm sure a scripter will easily fix the problem.


RE: Questions about the mode-7 - DerVVulfman - 03-19-2014

I won't say 'Easily', and I don't know if this helps. I am not using a resolution in tandem with Mode7 myself. And I don't know if you're dealing with the same Mode7... though I am betting you are using the original one by MGC.

Okay, enough with me assuming stuff. ^_^
Do a search for a class called "Tilemap_Mode7"
In the 'initialize' method, you may encounter
Code:
@distance_h = 480
change it to
Code:
@distance_h = 600
..... assuming you're using an 800x600 window.

Even further down that class, you should have an 'init_sprites' method with the following:
Code:
sprite.x = 320
change it to
Code:
sprite.x = 400
Again, assuming an 800x600 window. The change should center your screen horizontally... I hope.

And I am thinking that these two lines further down...
Code:
sprite.length = 2 + (640.to_f / sprite.zoom_x).to_i
sprite.x_origin_bitmap_i  =   ((642 - sprite.length) / 2)
should become
Code:
sprite.length = 2 + (800.to_f / sprite.zoom_x).to_i
sprite.x_origin_bitmap_i  =   ((802 - sprite.length) / 2)

And again... further...
Code:
sprite2.x = 320
to
Code:
sprite2.x = 400

After that, look for the 'draw_map' method.
Within that, the
Code:
offset        = ($game_system.loop_x ? 640 : 0)
should be
Code:
offset        = ($game_system.loop_x ? 800 : 0)

And hopefully... that's it! *DerVVulfman prays* [Image: please.gif]


RE: Questions about the mode-7 - JayRay - 03-19-2014

It would be interestig to see if this works for H-Mode 7 as well...


RE: Questions about the mode-7 - Talesdreamer - 03-19-2014

Sorry if I seemed rude! I didn't mean you should be the one who fixes it, just that I really need to find a scripter for this project.
Anyway, I made the changes you said. I also changed every other 320/640 I saw with the right numbers, like here:

Code:
    @viewport1 = Viewport.new(0, 0, 800, 600)
    @viewport2 = Viewport.new(0, 0, 800, 600)
    @viewport3 = Viewport.new(0, 0, 800, 600)

and this is the result:
[Image: Sp4CX6O.png]
The map renders almost correctly, there's just this huge black bar on the bottom. Probably I missed some other numbers.
The character remains slightly on the left, but since I want to make a side-scrolling game, this is actually a good news!
However, if the character tries to walk to the left, an huge pool of darkness appears:
[Image: peAdvRD.png]
And I don't really understand what's causing it.
This is the modified version of the script, hope it helps:

#
# Introduction:
#
# This script can display maps in a type of 3D with depth. It has a low lag
# factor.
#
#
# Instructions:
#
# In the editor in the lower left corner is the map list of the maps you
# are using in your game. You have several options: If you want to make a
# map use Mode 7 you need to ADD one or more of these text commands to the
# map's name. Those commands should not appear in the map's name if using
# a location display script. The options you have are the following:
#
# [M7] : to activate Mode7
# [#XX] : XX is the slant angle (in degree). Default value is 0 (normal maps)
# [Y] : Y-map looping
# [X] : X-map looping. This option needs resources (lower fps).
# [A] : animated autotiles (with 4 patterns). This option increases
# significantly the loading time, so it may crash for large maps
# (SystemStackError)
# [C] : to center the map on the hero (even for small maps)
# [P] : to have a fixed panorama
# [H] : to have a white horizon
# [OV] : Overworld Sprite Resize (a Mewsterus's script feature)
#
# Alternatively you can define prepared settings that will be triggered with
# every map that has that specific text included in its name. See the
# "MODE7_SETTINGS" below to prepare your settings.
#
#
# Control commands:
#
# You can change the settings on the map in-game and use a couple of
# additional commands. If you want to use one of those commands, use a "Call
# Script" event command and type one of the following commands into the text
# input window:
#
# 1. $scene.spriteset.tilemap.mode7_set(ANGLE)
# 2. $scene.spriteset.tilemap.mode7_set_p(ANGLE)
# 3. $scene.spriteset.tilemap.mode7_redraw
# 4. $game_system.map_opacity = VALUE
# 5. $game_system.map_gradual_opacity = VALUE
# 6. $game_system.map_tone = Color.new(RED, GREEN, BLUE)
# 7. $game_system.map_gradual_tone = Tone.new(RED, GREEN, BLUE, GREY)
# 8. $game_system.horizon = VALUE
# 9. $game_system.reset
#
# 1. Redraws the map with a new angle which is specified by ANGLE
# 2. Redraws the map progressively with a new angle which is specified by
# ANGLE
# 3. Redraws the map (can be useful with the following commands)
# 4. Defines the opacity for Mode7 maps (it needs to redraw)
# 5. Defines a gradual opacity for Mode7 maps (it needs to redraw)
# (it bugs with horizontal looping)
# 6. Defines the tone for Mode7 maps (it needs to redraw)
# 7. Defines a gradual tone for Mode7 maps (it needs to redraw)
# 8. Defines the view's distance (default : 960) (it needs to redraw)
# 9. Re-initialize the previous options
#
#
# Additional commands:
#
# 1) If you wish to obtain flat events, add a comment in the event's code
# and type in the word "Flat" without the double quotes).
# 2) You can handle the height of vertical events by adding a comment to the
# event's code with the text "Height X" (without the double quotes).
# Replace X with the height value. Example: If you use Height 1.5, then
# the event will appear floating above its position in a height of 1.5 map
# squares (48 pixels).

# START Configuration #
#---------------------#

# The map is drawn from all the tiles of the three layers. You can define tiles
# which are not being drawn flat, but vertical which creates the impression
# that the objects would be standing upright.
# To define such tiles, add one or more terrain tags to this array and separate
# them with commas. In your tileset database gives those specific tiles one of
# those terrain tags and the tile will be drawn vertically.
VERTICAL_TILE_TERRAIN_TAGS = [1, 2]

# You can create packages of settings which are automatically triggered if a
# map name includes the text corresponding to the setting. Use following
# template to create such settings:
#
# MODE7_SETTINGS['CORRESPONDING_TEXT'] = ['SETTING_1', 'SETTING_2', ...]
#
# CORRESPONDING_TEXT - text in map name
# SETTING - one of the settings from the instructions WITHOUT the
# [ and ] brackets (i.e. instead of [H], use just H)
#
# You can add as many settings as you want. There are two predefined settings
# to make you understand easier how it works.

RE: Questions about the mode-7 - JayRay - 03-19-2014

[Image: testhmode.png]
(RIGHT CLICK AND VIEW PICTURE FOR LARGER IMAGE)

Okay, so far I have stretched everything as much as I can, and for some reason it still only places the map inside a 640x480 block...

Now, by adjusting the viewports, I can place the 640x480 H-Mode inside the bigger game screen, which would allow for a HUD or UI to take up the remaining space... or something like OgreQuest, where you could use it as a picture overlay that ensures that everything has no black borders... but other than this idea, no dice...


so far...


RE: Questions about the mode-7 - DerVVulfman - 03-20-2014

It has been a while since I looked at HMode7... prolly as long as it's been since MGC's been here Sad I don't know if changes can be placed into the script, or is dependent on the HMode7.dll itself.

BUT...

Oh, yeaaaaahhhh!!! I managed to use Selwyn's Resolution script and tweaked a copy of Mode 7 (attached herein)...

.doc   Mode7Big.doc (Size: 148.18 KB / Downloads: 4)

And for those who wish to have a resolution while NOT in Mode7....

Seph wrote it for the SDK, but I only needed to remove 3 lines to make it work without the SDK... and I didn't need to tweak it.

NOW.... Both of these do have issues with maps of extreme size, so do not attempt 500x500 sized maps. I think there is some limit to the Bitmap class which prevents these Tilemap rewrites to generate a fully generated map.


RE: Questions about the mode-7 - JayRay - 03-20-2014

nice work on that with the Mode7 work -

Does this help, Talesdreamer?


RE: Questions about the mode-7 - Talesdreamer - 03-23-2014

It works! You're my hero ^^ I'm testing it with autotitles, different map sizes etc, but everything seems to be alright for now.
