DaVince This fool just HAD to have a custom rating Registered 04/09/2004 Points 7998	12th November, 2004 at 08:28:54 - I almost fully mastered the mode 7 object, except for the following: 1. I want to tilt the floor in a game, so that you see more from above. like this: 2. I'd like to create walls. You know, blocks that go up. How do I do this and is there a way to use collision detection with those walls? Anyone who could help? Old member (~2004-2007).

People really need it! And about point 2, I looked at the tuts but they weren't clear enough for me. Edited by the Author. Old member (~2004-2007).
Tigerworks Klik Legend Registered 15/01/2002 Points 3882	12th November, 2004 at 14:27:50 - Yeah, Marcello said he left out camera rolling and tilting etc. because it would have slowed the engine down or something. You just need a height map to make walls appear. What don't you understand from heightmaps? - Tigerworks
DaVince This fool just HAD to have a custom rating Registered 04/09/2004 Points 7998	13th November, 2004 at 10:17:39 - I guess it's time for a mode7 2 object. The height mapping just doesn't work. It shows trash whenever I try to use it. Old member (~2004-2007).

Perhaps an RPG? There is no SNES RPG's using mode7 that I can remember. p.s. If you are going through the trouble of learning an extension that I hear is difficult, why don't you just get everything you want and more and learn blitzbasic or even CT's own Jamagic? mmm...multipass rendering... thinking is like pong, it's easy, but you miss sometimes.

Zane Registered 09/09/2003 Points 1183	18th November, 2004 at 06:07:16 - I tryed a first persion shooter in mode 7 once it got quite far but was too buggy to use www.klikforever.co.uk GO THERE!!!
Kirby Smith Resident Slacker Registered 18/05/2003 Points 479	18th November, 2004 at 08:39:28 - Exactly when did F-Zero and Mario Kart become RPGs? XBL Gamertag: Rampant Mjolnir
Joe.H Evil Faker Registered 19/08/2002 Points 3305	18th November, 2004 at 09:11:04 - dunno about F-Zero, but mario had Super Mario and the Legend of the Seven Stars, which was an RPG on the SNES My signature is never too big!!!
AndyUK Mascot Maniac Registered 01/08/2002 Points 14586	18th November, 2004 at 11:23:41 - Terranigma was an rpg that used mode 7. and zelda does too. I know this and have never owned a Snes. .
Liquixcat Administrator Lazy Coder Registered 08/12/2002 Points 201	19th November, 2004 at 01:46:45 - I don't mean using mode7 for 2d effects like those cool fade effects and w/e. I mean a 3D RPG using mode7 i don't recall.... you don't need to use mode7 to make a 2D rpg so i figured people knew what i was talking about... thinking is like pong, it's easy, but you miss sometimes.
DaVince This fool just HAD to have a custom rating Registered 04/09/2004 Points 7998	20th November, 2004 at 03:04:40 - Okay, so today I noticed I don't know half as much about the Mode7 object as I want to. So, anyone knows about eight mapping then? Old member (~2004-2007).

I'll try to learn to use the OpenGL object, it has the following advantages: Much smoother movement, even in hi-res! Good hardware support. Loading external files to keep the file size down. No thick pixels! So, anyone know a good OpenGL tut? Old member (~2004-2007).
ChrisB Crazy? Registered 16/08/2002 Points 5457	25th November, 2004 at 13:23:13 - What do you mean, it's not out? (The release date for that on the Amiga was 1995, btw) I believe Pilotwings used Mode 7 in the most complicated way, with tilting and rolling. It's processor intensive but possible to do at a decent speed (as SNES emulators have already proved) - there were bottlenecks with MMF's drawing engine which caused the problem, but it could've been overcome relatively easily. Anyone know if it's possible to get the Mode 7 style with a fully 3D scene? n/a
DaVince This fool just HAD to have a custom rating Registered 04/09/2004 Points 7998	26th November, 2004 at 11:41:01 - I can't find the Blitz3D extension in the extension list (if it IS an extension!). And the OpenGL ext doesn't work on my PC... Edited by the Author. Old member (~2004-2007).
