Title: Work in progress - Mode8
Post by: MikeDX on February 17, 2016, 01:12:52 AM
The last thing in the port from DOS to current systems that is missing is MODE8

I think I now have crossed this barrier and div will be able to have a simple 3D engine to start with (and in future, a more complex one)

I have uploaded a small example here:

The mode8 editor in the IDE already works well, so I just need to work on the texture rendering from FPG files.

Great no, AWESOME!
By the way, there was rumors that says that DIV mode8 engine can make maps with two floors. If you have the source code complete, can you tell me if this was true or just a rumor?

Do you mean one on top of another or two different levels? I believe you can do it but the editor doesnt like doing it, I'm sure i had something working in DIV2 (english) many years ago that had one room above another.

I will go and try it now actually...

Yes, one room on top of another, not two separate maps.
I read that the editor wasn't capable of edit a room over another room but the engine can do it.

Anyway, good luck with mode8. I hope you can fix all the bugs it has :S

The editor does allow you to do it but it is messy. So yes it is possible but i wouldnt recommend it!

This new mode8 engine is happy to render rooms above and below :)
