Ultra Mode 7 [RMMV & RMMZ]

Why write about it here then, if you don't even know the problem?

Yeah, a parallel process sounds like the best solution. I don't believe in implementing very narrow and specific features into plugins, especially when they are this easy to make in RM itself.


If he makes a demo with all the problems and sends it to me, I can take a look at it.

So this would be while "walking" the map





and this would be flying the airship




Walking has no parallax background diff camera angle, airship adds the parallax background for when flying

I'm not sure if this request is too big, but I saw you did a lot of compatibility patches. So can you, or MogHunter, make Mode7 compatible with his Weather Ex plugin? So far, there a no technical issues, so both plugins work without crashing, and it looks quite good. Yet, it would be amazing if e.g. the clouds would have more perspective when being on a world map.

In the meantime, I will try it on my own and tell you when I do progress.

Hi, I try to make my lighting and doodads plugins to be compatible with your UM7, but I actually don't know how the effect should be.
I make a simple Demo here:URL-dropboxx
Please give me some advice, thank you!

I provided an answer earlier in the topic. Here you go:


A parallel process might be the simplest solution.


IDK what I can do about the clouds because the transition from 2D to 3D isn't that simply with volumetric stuff. But if you make a demo, I can take a look and at least fix the positioning issues of certain things.


Yanfly's Grid-Free Doodads? If yes, you just have to make sure that you put UM7 below the Doodads plugin in the plugin manager.

I think I am having trouble wrapping my mind around it, or thinking about it incorrectly. When I right click the airship, it doesnt act like an event. So how would I make a parallel process to coincide with getting into the airship?

Ok, after a little research, I found conditional branch "when enter airship"... however I put this as the script

UltraMode7.animatePitch(UltraMode7.getPitch() + 30, 60)

and it continued to keep pitching to where I see no map at all(just the airship in a black void) when it should be almost identical to settings in demo...


Here is my normal map settings:






and here is the event to trigger the airship pitch

I tried the sample out and its a great plugin, might use it for a project of mine sometime. UwU

Is this the condition you set?


If so that will continuously run. I don't see an enter airship, only while driving.
If this is how you have it, you need to do the script command then set a self switch on and have that parallel event go to a second page where you do the same check but in the if not portion you put the script call for returning to normal.

@ChoVah Pretty much what Rominator2 said. Just make sure to turn on Self-Switch A on the first page.

@bblizzard
I've also been tinkering with an addon plugin to do the pitch change automatically for vehicles.
I got it working. I set the map note tag to pitch 30 and when entering a vehicle it changes the pitch and fov.
boat + 5
ship + 10
airship +15

But it only works from the numbers hard coded. I can't get it to pull the numbers from the plugin parameters. no idea how plugins are supposed to pull parameters instead of hard set numbers.
Not sure I'll figure it out soon as learning javascript is at least a year away for me.

You need to define the parameter through the commented section. Just search for this and you'll see how it's set up:


The other thing you need is reading the values from the config files.


The method BlizzardUtility.Numeric just makes sure a proper default value is used (550 in this case) if none is defined.

I actually already did those
done
and done
still no good. So there's something I'm missing.

I can change the numbers in the plugin settings, but it always does the hard set numbers. Like in your example 550.

UM7 in MZ not supports the VisuStella`s Grid-Free Doodads in MZ.
VisuStella is a team which is called Yanfly in MV.

UM7 in MV supports the lighting plugin OcRam_Lights and KhasUltraLighting, but the UM7 in MZ has not supported any lighting plugins yet according to the plugin`s help.

I have made my lighting and doodads plugins be compatible with your UM7 and I want to tell you about it and get your permission.

I make a simple Demo here:URL-Dropbox
My Doodads Plugin:QJ-Doodads
My Lighting Plugin:QJ-Lighting

Try removing and adding the plugin back in the plugin manager. I remember vaguely that sometimes it would act weird when new stuff was added in the code after the plugin was already added in the plugin manager.


Aha, I see now. Well, as always, I can try to add compatibility if somebody makes a demo. xD Which brings me to...


Is that a demo with your plugins or the other ones?

In any case, you can make your own stuff compatible with UM7 without having to ask me for anything. Since you aren't touching and/or releasing the UM7 code further or anything like that. I'm actually glad somebody else writes the compatibility code for a change. xD

In my game, I made a sort of... camera controller, for Ultra Mode 7. And I show it within the first 35 seconds of this video: :LZScheeze:




I made this so I wouldn't have to do as much guess work. And I realized I could use this as an In-game photo mode.

For some reason, this is what I get on MZ, with Visu plugins at the core. Black circle and smashed tileset :(

It's an issue with VisuStella Core plugin. VisuStella needs to fix it. I found a fix for it, but sharing it (I'm pretty sure) goes against the EULA.

Visustella won't fix it because for them is an issue with this plugin, not theirs, and most likely because that "issue" is a non issue because it is meant for something else they do down in the code...meaning some other plugin of theirs. Also, it is stablished in their rules that they don't do compatibility patches even if payed.
