How to config the shadow in map ,like this >>> |__ to >>> |
........................................................................................................\

Can you make this script work with maps larger more than 200 * 200 tiles²

Hello MGC.

i've created the trees :3

but now it is very lagging, do you've a antilagscript?
because i think you're are the only one that can create a antilag for hmode

[finalholylight]

I think because of many events in your map (trees),you can try script anti lag event

Code:

#===============================================================================
# ** AntiLag script
#-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
# f0tz!baerchen
# 0.71
# 06.01.2007
#-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
# Credits:
# Chaosg1 (for testing ;) )
# NearFantastica (for the Event AntiLag I used and improved)
#-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
# Features:
# - Event AntiLag: Event (and their Sprites) which are not on the screen are
# not updated except they run on "Autostart" or "Parallel Process" or they
# have an empty comment in the first line
# - High Priority: Game can be run on high priority
# - Smooth Antilag: the Event AntiLag does only work fine if the events are
# distributed over the whole map, but when there are many events at the same
# place it lags again. If the script notices that the CPU utilization
# gets higher than $antilag.max_cpu_utilization it will slow down the game and
# reduce the framerate as long as needed.
#-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
# Settings:
# can be changed anytime during the game. They are found at the end of the
# script.

I absolutely love this script. It is the most advanced by far of any I've ever seen for RMXP.
You said in an earlier post that you were able to make more than just the 3 layers. I have a request;

Could you please post the DLL you used with that? I created a special editor that can merge maps, edit tiles, events and add additional layers to the map. I would be able to do this myself, as I've already scripted a collision system for the H Mode, but I don't have the source code for the DLL, which processes everything in the creation of the map.

If possible, could you post the DLL, either in the editable format, or with the change of reading every layer of the map, not just limited to the first 3 layers, but however many layers there would be . It would be most appreciated

are you a scripter?

[Chaotech Games]

Yes, I am a scripter. Using this, I have made a working collision system based on the altitude of the different sections, optimized for pixel movement, and added a semi-complete Blizz-ABS support (sorry, even though they are for a non-profit, free to play game, they are very specialized, and probably will not be released.) I really need the DLL to support more layers than just the three, or some way to edit it. MGC posted earlier that he tested his with the dimmensions doubled, and said it was probably possible to have it up to 8 layers. Using an alternative RGSS editor I derrived (using RGSS itself) I could add additional layers and merge maps. In a test I tried to use 6 layers, H-Mode7 refused to draw the additional layers. I have completely read the script, but nothing that could be edited there would affect either how high each layer's drawn height was at maximum, or anything that would limit the number of layers read.

What I need in the DLL is for it to read layers 0 to whatever, but not if they don't exist.
Ex: If it's a basic, unedited normal map, it would read up to layer 3, but if layer 4 exists, it also draws that, as well as 5, 6, 7, and so on if they exist.
Perferably, this to be unlimited, as I do not expect that I will use more than, say, 20 layers, but it's always better to be safe than sorry.
I am not worried about memory size, or lag, as there are quite a few other things that I can do to cut this down.

I don't think MGC is replying because the last time, he isnt replying to things
in this topic

Do you like it to help me and my game?
we're using hmode XD
Because it is realy bad quality and realy lagging, I've a scripter, but he cant make/fix/edit hard scripts
Here is my DA account:
http://renekokkie.deviantart.com/

here are some screens, but if you want i can give my MSN, and give alot of information

[Chaotech Games]

No, I have the DLL. I would like MGC to post an edited one with what I requested.
The current DLL doesn't support what I need it to.

Reneokkie, I've sent you a PM on Deviantart.

Edit:
Also, something I forgot before, MGC, could you possibly make it so that Alpha (transparency) values are drawn for the map, not just the RGB, but only if the value is greater than 0? This would be most helpful for making things like windows, and Ice, as well as using a miniscule value like 1 to make things like trees using more than one layer would have a space in the middle-ish.

Sorry for all of the requests. I'd do them myself if I could.

Hello. Chaotech Games

Amazing, I expect your work.

[MGC]

Sorry for the lack of activity, I didn't find much time to deal with RM lately.
Here's the v.1.3 : some features are added, but not all that I had in mind (the rest will be included in a future version).
What's new :
- "wall" events
- animated vertical textures
- lower resolutions handling

And some minor things :
- included the [OV] feature
- fixed a bug with several transluscent events
- included pivot manipulation

See the first post for more details.

At all and especially Chaotech Games > I took note of your requests.
