Dramatic Shape Voxel Mod

A mod for the Pokémon Gen 1 Recompilation Project.

The overworld as a voxelized 3D diorama. Also supports experimental first-person and VR.

Controls

Every key is free-roam only, and each one is also a row on the OPTIONS menu.

control	does
3, or the VOXEL options row	OFF → 15 → 35 → 50 → 75 → 1ST → OFF (camera pitch)
SELECT (pad / touch)	the same step as 3 — for the machines with no number row
5, or the V-GRID options row	OFF / ON — a one-pixel wireframe on every voxel
6, or the T-SHIFT options row	OFF → 1 → 2 → 3 → OFF (miniature blur)
7, or the V-CURVE options row	OFF → 1 → 2 → 3 — bend the world over the horizon
8, or the 3D-BTL options row	ON / OFF — fight on the map instead of on a white field
9, or the WATER options row	FULL / SKY / OFF — waves and reflections on water. SKY gives the surface its pixel-tall wave columns and puts the sky, the sun, the moon and the cast in them; FULL adds a screen-space ray march that also reflects the shoreline, the trees and the buildings standing behind it
the BACK SPRITES options row	OFF / ON — keep your own Pokémon on the battle menu, seen from behind in its classic slot, instead of standing it on the map; the foe is still out there. Only on the menu while 3D-BTL is on, because it decides nothing without it
the AA options row	OFF / 2X / 4X — smooth the stair-stepped edges of the 3D world by rendering the diorama larger than the window and folding it back down. The ladder is samples per display pixel: 2X is a canvas root-two wider and taller, 4X one exactly twice the size. Every edge in the projected picture softens with the silhouettes — the tileset's own texels are quads in a perspective view and cross the pixel grid at the same arbitrary angles — so the diorama reads smoother rather than sharper. The most expensive row in the mod, so it is OFF by default and FULL leaves it alone
the DAYTIME options row	SYNC / DAY / NIGHT / DUSK / DAWN / CYCLE — what time it is outdoors, on the diorama and on the flat 2D world; held at SYNC (and off the menu) while VOXEL is FULL

VR

The VR options row (OFF / ON, off by default) drives a PCVR headset through OpenXR on Windows — SteamVR, Oculus or WMR.

VR controls

Suggested onto Touch, Index and WMR controllers (rebindable in the runtime's own binding UI); pad, keyboard and mouse all keep working alongside.
