Sorry, for now I just succeeded at making it even more janky

There is heavy culling beyond the original screen limits but it's a start. Same for field backgrounds, tiles are culled on the sides. Once we figure how to disable culling it should start to look decent.

It seems the FF8 modding party has started without me so I'll self-invite myself with this half-broken true widescreen support contribution.

The last addition to FF7 analog controls is being able to scroll the camera using the right stick. In most cases it's just a cool gimmick but some times you can peek into parts of the backgrounds that would not be visible during normal gameplay.

Another cool thing of the FF7 analog controls is the ability to rotate the battle camera with the right analog stick and zoom in/out with the analog triggers. It is implemented so that scripted camera still work and to remember the last camera position to go back to.

All right, everyone, let's mosey.

This is getting worse...

Did I trigger a sanity effect inside FF7?

The lighting implementation uses common shadow map technique where the scene is drawn from the light point of view to an offscreen depth buffer (shadow map) and then sampled in the lighting pass shader to determine if a pixel is occluded.

Real-time lighting was my first contribution to the FF7 modding scene about 4 years ago. It's been nice seeing so many people playing the game with this one.

Take that Mario 64!

Dr. Ian Malcolm: Yeah, yeah, but your scientists were so preoccupied with whether or not they could that they didn't stop to think if they should.
Cosmos: Hold my beer!
