MV3D - 3D rendering for RMMV with Babylon.js

[SefirosuKuraodo]

I downgraded to the 0.4.3 version I had backed up and it looks like I could actually achieve 7 lights, though the last couple had some strange results, making the event glow bright like it was lit but the light only visible in the water beside it but not on the ground beneath it... So, like, 5 lights and some partials. *Shrug* I'm going to just stick with the current updates and plan around 4 lights in a map until further notice. The plugin is too good not to keep using it over something silly like that

Actually just wanted to say that this is one of the best script for RMMV so far! It can totally change how the engine works and it's so good so far. Would buy VIP version for sure. Shame that developers didn't implemented this as a new feature of "MV", cause it's just SO GOOD. Thanks to @Dread_Nyanak for providing this superduper script.

I agree, best stuff is always fan made , has been this way since don miquels rm2k version back in 95.

Hi guys!

I came to show a small teaser of what I'm developing for MV3D.
Hope you like it!

@SefirosuKuraodo
Originally the limit was 4 lights, but I've increased that limit. Now there's a problem which causes the shaders to fail to compile if you have too many lights. The exact limit might be platform-specific, or depend on your webGL version.
I'm going to fix it in a future update.

Try mv3d.shadowGenerator.normalBias=0
This setting helps prevents artifacts from self-shadowing, but it seems it sometimes causes problems.
I'll address this in the next premium update by either tweaking the settings or adding more options.

In the mean time, you can try this code. Load it in a plugin.

_updateParameters=mv3d.updateParameters
mv3d.updateParameters=function(){
    _updateParameters.apply(this,arguments);
    mv3d.shadowGenerator.normalBias=0;
}

Small question: Can you change the y-position of a tile through the tileset notes?

I tried with this code:

B,7,1:shape(wall),y(1),height(0.75)

Shape and height are changed according to the code, but y is not.

Use fringe(1)

Use fringe(1)

Fringe is z, not y, so with fringe(1), the tiles are floating:

Oh my bad, I don't think there is a way to offset tiles, need to use events with the tiles picture.

It actually sorts of work with: B,7,1:height(0.75),top(B,0,0)

Wanted to create crenellations, while it perfectly works with events, it's just too many of them and would slow down the entire game i think?

Currently events are probably biggest source of lag but you can just make the character picture really big if your making a fence to use less, or scale if you want bad quality, perhaps when 3d meshes are out it will be even easier.

Also if you want exactly y(1) can't you just place the tile 1 back? Pretty sure that would be the position you want.

When I try to run my game after export I get the error failed to load mv3d image shadow. It is in the folder in the master game file and loads when I play test. What's up?

BTW the script is amazing I plan to use it with all custom graphics and to buy it for the 20 bucks if I can resolve this.

Edit: turns out I am dumb you do not want to tick exclude unused images. Thanks for the amazing plug in.

Works great (mostly) so far - got rid of the holes, but now the shadows are a bit off in other structures! Still, thank you for the reply. It's nice to see some of the issue resolved

I thought the same, but then the crenellations are on the ground just before the wall instead of on top of the wall. Gonna play around a bit more with it though, i think i'll find the answer.

@KaosChrist
It's probably being removed by the "exclude unused files" option. I'll have to do some testing later to make sure they aren't excluded in future versions.
In the mean time you can manually replace the file into the deployed project. The images are in the img/MV3D folder.

Hello, @Dread_Nyanak. First, thank you for your hard work!
I wanted to ask is there planning feature like creating boxes (like from tiles, with top, side textures) from events? It would be so cool to have it! Possibilities are endless *_*

 

[YoraeRasante]

@Dread_Nyanak oh, just remembered something that would be great for me if you added!
I didn't test yet, but I'm assuming that if I try to enter a passage with one tile of height while the player characters have a height of 1.5 they can't go through it, right? I was thinking of allowing the player character to crouch and crawl slowly... is there a way to change their collide height through plugin commands?

If the image is small enough you can walk under stuff, I made a 0.5 fringe wall but a 384x256 4x2 character couldn't fit under, but a 252x112 4x2 could walk under it.

Hi! I was playing with the test project again...
Is there any way to stop this from happening? (The seeing through wall) I've done it on my own maps, and I'm just curious... Thank you!

 

[gRaViJa]

You'll have to make the map 1 tile larger, then you should see the back of the tile instead of it being see-through.
