"with VOXEL on, the overworld draws as 3D geometry instead of flat tiles",
|
|
"occlusion comes from a depth buffer rather than a y-sort, so buildings really hide what is behind them",
|
|
"with 3D-BTL on, a battle draws over the map's nearest clear ground instead of over a white field",
|
|
"the battle's text box and menu are frosted glass over that ground rather than an opaque white slab, on the same panels the HUDs sit on",
|
|
"the map's NPCs are culled for the length of a battle, so the wipe plays over an empty map",
|
|
"a battle's letterbox voids go black rather than white, because the battle canvas is no longer white",
|
|
"the engine's TILT and GBC FX rows are taken OFF the OPTIONS menu and held at off for as long as this mod is installed -- TILT is the flat fake of what this mode does for real, GBC FX is a full-screen pass over the top of it; uninstalling puts both rows back",
|
|
"hotkeys 3 and 5 are taken over from those two, which have no key and no row while this is loaded",
|
|
"on the 1ST rung ONLY, the grid walk is replaced by free camera-relative movement: collision, warps, ledges, encounters and scripts still run through the engine's own machinery, and every other rung leaves movement untouched",
|
|
"on the 1ST rung the mouse cursor is captured for free look; left click is A, right click is B, and any touch off the overlay's controls drags the view",

|
|
"V-GRID on hotkey 5 and V-CURVE on hotkey 7",
|
|
"WATER on hotkey 9 (FULL / SKY / OFF, FULL by default): the water surface becomes a field of pixel-tall voxel columns rising and falling as waves, reflecting the sky, the sun, the moon and the cast standing beside it -- and, on FULL, the shoreline, trees and buildings behind it, by a screen-space ray march",
|
|
"3D-BTL on hotkey 8 (ON / OFF, on by default), battles fought on the world map",
|
|
"BACK SPRITES options row (OFF / ON, off by default), which keeps your own Pokemon on the battle menu in its classic slot while the foe stands out on the map",
|
|
"a day/night clock that reaches the flat 2D overworld as well as the diorama -- outdoor maps only, and only when the hour is not midday",
|
|
"an over-the-shoulder battle camera on a slow parallax orbit, with a depth-of-field pass that holds both mons sharp",
|
|
"a sky behind the diorama at the 75-degree rung, outdoor maps only, coloured by the active palette mode",
|
|
"a hand-authored tile shape profile (data/voxel_heights.lua) a mod can extend",

known = {
|
|
"needs shader and depth-canvas support; without them the rows still cycle but the world stays 2D and battles draw plainly",
|
|
"water reflections additionally need a READABLE depth canvas; a driver without one draws the flat animated water this mode always drew",
|
|
"WATER on FULL ray-marches the depth buffer per water pixel, so a map that is mostly sea costs real fill rate on a weak GPU -- SKY is the same look minus the ray march, and OFF is the flat water",
|
|
"a screen-space reflection can only reflect what is in the frame: a tree just off the top edge is not in the water below it, and a ray that runs off the side fades into the sky rather than ending on a line",
|
|
"a map with no 3x6 clearing falls back to a 1x4 one, and a map with neither draws the plain battle screen",
|
|
"the arena is where the CAMERA goes -- nobody is moved, so a fight staged across the map is a shot of that ground, not a trip to it",
|
|
"the battle backdrop renders at the GB's 160x144 to match the pics composited over it, so it is chunkier than the free-roam pass",
|
|
"menus and cutscenes are unaffected -- outside a battle the mode only draws the free-roam overworld",
|
|
"terrain meshes are cached per map, so the first frame after entering a large map costs a build",
|
|
"1ST needs the 3D pass like every rung; without it the level still persists but the world stays 2D and the grid walk stays in charge",
|
|
"in 1ST, scripted walks, ledge hops and spinner slides play out as the grid moves they are, with the camera riding along; free control resumes when they land",
|
|
"rooms have no ceilings, so a first-person look over an interior wall shows the void the diorama always had behind it",
