Adds `when_above` conditional pins, resolved per position in TileShape.at: one graphic can mean two things (the gates' $32 is both wall base course and counter front), and a flat pin has to pick one. Gates get half-height counters and level walls. Pokemon Tower gains a buildings entry -- it is the drawing the map edge cuts off, sealed on the north -- and the Indigo Plateau statues are built like the gym statues. Fixes: grass stands one full-height clump per tile instead of two half-cut stubs at different depths; ledge pillars drop to ledge height; a prop only rides furniture when its own cell is blocked (chairs were being lifted onto tables); and the caves had water and rock pinned backwards, which stood the Seafoam sea up as rock and cut trenches through Mt Moon. No cave tile is below the datum now.
Dramatic Shape Voxel Mod
A mod for the Pokémon Gen 1 Recompilation Project.
The overworld as a 3D diorama. Terrain is extruded into real geometry, occlusion comes from a depth buffer rather than a y-sort, characters stand as leaning sprite slabs, a shadow map throws real cast shadows across whatever they land on, and an optional tilt-shift pass sells the miniature-model look.
Purely presentational. Nothing here reaches collision, movement, triggers or scripts — it changes what the world looks like and nothing about what it is. Battles, menus and cutscenes are untouched; only the free-roam overworld draws differently.
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 → OFF (camera pitch) |
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 |
Two of those keys are taken off the engine: 3 was TILT and 5 was
GBC FX. Neither is reachable by key while this mod is enabled, and both
are still on the OPTIONS menu. Pressing 3 also switches both off — they
fight the diorama, and it is the way back from having left one on.
