Introduction
This new mode7 script is written from an old french script I created, and it is far different from Mewsterus's Mode07 script.

Features
  • flat maps (not curved)
  • high resolution (each screen line is independent)
  • map looping (x or/and y)
  • animated autotiles
  • (new version) Tiles with fixed terrain_tag not drawn flat with the map

Script (new English version)
http://paste-it.net/raw/public/o11d836/

Instructions

You must add to the map's name :
- [M7] : to activate Mode7
- [#XX] : XX is the slant angle (in degree). Default value is 0 (it looks like 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 (screenshot's horizon)
- [OV] : Overworld Sprite Resize (a Mewsterus's script feature)

Or :
Prepare your own settings for mode7 maps (script : l.48).
Add for example
Code:
$mode7_maps_settings["Worldmap"] = ["#60", "X", "Y", "A", "H", "OV"]
and just add in the map's name "Worldmap" to have these settings applied.

New version


The map is drawn from all the tiles of the three layers that do not have a terrain_tag's value of 1 or 2.
The other tiles (terrain_tag = 1 or 2) form elements that are drawn vertically, like the 3rd-layer elements in the old version.
The two values used by my script (1 and 2) can be modified line 6 ($num_terrains = [1,2]).
There are two values so that we can create two distinct vertical elements in contact in one layer.

Example :
With these terrain_tags :

The three layers:

We obtain :

Other commands (for events) (EDIT : modified for the English version) :

Code:
$scene.spriteset.tilemap.mode7_set (new_angle)
To redraw the map with the new_angle

Code:
$scene.spriteset.tilemap.mode7_set_p(new_angle)
To redraw progressively the map from the current angle to the new

Code:
$scene.spriteset.tilemap.mode7_redraw
To redraw the map (useful with the following commands)

Code:
$game_system.opacite = value
To define the opacity for Mode7 maps (it needs to redraw)

Code:
$game_system.couleur = Color.new(Red, Green, Blue)
To define the tone for Mode7 maps (it needs to redraw)

Code:
$game_system.horizon = value
To define the view's distance (default : 960) (it needs to redraw)

Code:
$game_system.reset
To initialize the previous options

Code:
$game_system.map_gradual_tone = Tone.new(Red, Green, Blue, Gray)
To define a gradual tone for Mode7 maps (it needs to redraw, and it doesn't work with horizontal looping)

Code:
$game_system.map_gradual_opacity = value
To define a gradual opacity for Mode7 maps (it needs to redraw, and it also bugs with horizontal looping)

- To obtain flat events :
just add a comment in the event's commands list with : "Flat"
Moving flat events are supported, but it will take resources.

- To handle the height of a vertical event :
add a comment in the event's commands list with : "Heigth X", where X is the height value ("Heigth 2" will draw the event 64 pixels above its original position - you can use floats)

Compatibility

This script redefines a lot of classes, so it is probably not compliant with most of other scripts

English version : ZTBS compatibility
The compatibility is not perfect, but it doesn't crash.
EDIT 21/05/07 : the sprites used for ranges and areas are flat-drawn
Mode7 script must be above ZTBS, and this script below :
- ...
- Scene_Debug
- SDK
- Mode7
- ZTBS scripts
- Macs addons
- This script
- Main
