RPG 20XX Engine

There's actually some extended commands designed so you can do GUIs and things without having to use the Show Picture command in this engine.

I thought he was talking about "Mode 7" effects?

RPG 20XX Engine

there is no 'leave it in,' as WC is making this engine from scratch, not modifying RPG_RT.exe.


Yes, and I would have to connect a video player or something like mplayer. This engine already has enough DLLs.

I'm talking bout mode 7 effects


Mode 7 has nothing to do with the movie command. Mode 7 is just one of those features, everyone is going to expect an old school RPG engine calling itself the engine that goes up to 11 to at least have Mode 7.

What you see on the screen is already in 3D, it's only a matter of applying a projection matrix to the tile map, and then retain events as point sprites, and then have the parallax become the background with the bottom edge of it being the horizon point.

I've seen it used in an interesting way to create 3d-like animation.

If you want a 3D game, use a 3D engine. This is an engine designed to make neo-retro 2D RPG games with an emphasis on runtime quality. This is not an FMV game engine, and the show movie command doesn't really work that well or get used often. People don't like downloading huge games here either.

Will .avi's be supported?

Of course not. The movie command will do nothing in this game- you shouldn't be using straight-up movie files in your game. If you have to use movie files, consider using a different engine. Strongly consider actually creating scenes normally using events, scenes, pictures, animations, etc. and have it all execute in runtime.

Actually, you should probably read the instruction booklet that comes with the download since it tells you exactly how it works (switches are not involved in calling the extra features).

Just read the blog posts in order, it should give a good idea.

GIF is a horrible format to use for animations, you're better off using Battle Chars. Then you can have charset, animation, or a mix of both. My program doesn't care how tall your animation sheets are either, so if you hack your editor to allow large sheets of battle animations, it will already work.
