Questions about the mode-7
03-17-2014, 07:05 PM
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
