[XP] Mode 7 (by MGCaladtogel)

[Blizzard]

Look at the screenshot I provided. :=

[Calintz]

I saw it...
Is that it?? What purpose does a different look serve??

[Blizzard]

Maybe you should simply try it out. -_-

[Cid]

I'd like to try this, but it says the demo files have been deleted.

[Blizzard]

(-_-') Sendspace's 30 days expired. Oh well, you can just take the script and put it into a new project to try it out. I might put up a demo again later.

Hm, I didn't provide the script. I'll put up another demo ASAP.

EDIT: There you go.

[Cid]

Cheers Blizz. This is a great script. I'll definitely be using it for my world map.

[Blizzard]

Don't credit me, I didn't make it!

[Cid]

Yeah, I know. I meant cheers for putting the demo up.

[Lost_Hope]

If I could understand scripts, i would totally use this!

[Calintz]

Do most people use this for a world map??
That is the only reason I would use it. Like in the early Final Fantasy games??

[Ryex]

graphic enhancement of the game's atmosphere?

[Lost_Hope]

ok can someone kinda help me here. I don't understand the instructions that well but I wanna use this for my world map so I was wondering how I could make this work on ONLY certain maps

[Cid]

Add [M7] and [#XX] to the name of any map you want to use it in. Replace "XX" with the degree of slant you want (ie: 10) on the landscape. There are other options as well, but I haven't really had a good look yet.

Actually, I'm getting an error. This keeps coming up whenever I start a game on a map which doesn't have Mode 7 activated:

Script 'Spriteset_Map' line 117: NoMethodError occured.
undefined method for `ox='for # <Tilemap_mode7:0x13bf110>

[Lost_Hope]

ok i gotta major issue here. When I add the script and all, it works but all of the tiles on not standing up. they are all lying on the ground.

SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME!

[Blizzard]

There's a configuration where you can define the upstanding sprites like trees. Take a look at my demo, it uses the terrain tags 1 and 2. Just open the tileset and look how I set the terrain tags.

[Lost_Hope]

dude I just realized wtf a tag was!
thank you blizz thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

lol, I stopped using Mode7 a LONG time ago.  I was using it for a world map, but the world map tileset is friggin MASSIVE, so I'm not even gonna bother with that.  Then I was using it for some of the more epic maps in one of my old games, such as in Deep Crystal, there was a map that was a giant library, but honestly, for me it was more trouble than it was worth to keep playing with it.

But there are uses, in my opinion. You can create the Mode 7 format in a new perspective for certain maps, as a dimension or something of that sort. 'Course, I have no good example, but I hope you guys do understand my point here...

ok i have another problem

I added two events to my world map (using mode 7) and the two events are people talking. for some reason, the events aren't even there! I added them in the maps but when I play they don't appear. can someone help me?

How strange...I created a map with the Mode 7 System and they were there just fine. I made a whole event scene and everything, which was super spiffy...I'll try on a larger map to see if it'll work. If it does, I'll have a link to a demo or something.
