a nice rpg movement using height

enjoy this fake 3d isometric engine
it uses an overlay for height mapping
you can walk run, jump, push objects...
it's not perfect but that's a good base

firstly i planned to release it after the complete game, but as i can't find enough time for the game i post this part of the engine sooner

please tell we what you think, and report problems if there is, i'm sorry for may crappy english, I already have difficulties to comment it in french so imagine in a language which is not mine ^^

to finish, please put my name in the credits if i helped you with that

Nice engine. :)

The best way to do this is with an array being the terrain. Otherwise, it gets complicated very soon :S

Using overlay is a better method I through.

using overlay you don't have to make the terrain look geometric which is i think impossible with an array
and i've seen awasome isometric engines using array (much better than mine) but they were much more cpu consuming, and it couldn' do terrain with curves for exemple

i think both method are nice, but it depends on what you want the terrain to look like

Seems I missed a working link, hehe.

Link gives "Service Unavailable".

Try this one which is in French : http://sylnade.click.free.fr/alphasia_moteur1.mfa
