This creates a new node that inherits from Sprite2D, which utilizes a built-in shader to duplicate (and expand upon) the Super Nintendo's Mode 7 graphics mode. Essentially, this is doing affine transformations, but allowing for doing a different transformation per "scanline." This allowed for creating projection effects, and arguably the most-used for airship/overworld scenes such as this:
image

This node makes doing something like this much more intuitive, and provides interpolation between 2 or more transformations, if desired, making it easy to do that projection effect, or simple lerping.

Here are the essentials:

There's an overall toggle, and the Mode 7 Scanline Overrides is an array, which will start with one element, which would expose the machinery to do a simply (linear) affine transformation:
image

Adding more elements will "divide" the image up into segments and perform the different transformations provided, the Interpolation property determining the behavior between the elements:
image

Projection (shown above in Super Nintendo game screenshot) is intended for 2 elements, specifically. This is because it's doing inverse depth calculation that doesn't really make a lot of sense on more than 2. This is noted in the docs, and a property warning exists on the Scanline Overrides to warn the user if they create more than 2 array elements in Projection mode.

image

The Global Parameters here--a few are "duplicates" of the "scanline" options, because they are designed to perform the action on the result, after the interpolation, etc...

image

These "horizon" parameters are just fancy culling that can be done from the "top" or "bottom" of an image. Useful for creating a horizon effect when using projection.

image

Here, there are also parameters to tweak the projection math. Properties are read-only unless in projection (interpolation) mode.

The option to "follow target" takes in a Node2D. This node leverages the (parent) Sprite2D's already-existing Region feature. In order to "move" throughout a 2D world in Mode 7, it only works if the transformation is applied to only the visible area. If the region is enabled, that's exactly what the shader does, and moving the region rect "shows" or "moves to" that location. This can be done in script, but the follow target simplifies this, and can simply move to a location and have the region follow suit. This makes it simple to script a character/object/etc... that navigates the 2D world

Walkthrough

Adds Mode7ScanlineOverride and Mode7Sprite2D. The implementation supports per-scanline transforms, interpolation modes, projection controls, modulation, horizon masks, tiling, region following, scene registration, and class documentation.

Changes

Mode 7 rendering

Layer / File(s) Summary
Scanline override resource
scene/2d/mode7_scanline_override.*, doc/classes/Mode7ScanlineOverride.xml
Adds affine transform, pivot, scale validation, modulation, safe owner linkage, and editor bindings.
Mode 7 rendering pipeline
scene/2d/mode7_sprite_2d.*, doc/classes/Mode7Sprite2D.xml
Adds the shader, scanline texture generation, interpolation modes, projection tuning, global transforms, tiling, horizon masks, material synchronization, and public documentation.
Mode 7 lifecycle and region following
scene/2d/mode7_sprite_2d.cpp
Adds override ownership and signal management, affine follow-target updates, cache resolution, and cache refresh support.
Scene registration
scene/register_scene_types.cpp
Registers Mode7ScanlineOverride and Mode7Sprite2D with the scene class database.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~60 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 28cf9

The new rendering node still has bounded correctness issues that can distort projection output, collapse the image for a valid-looking setting, or leave region tracking inactive after target changes. Merge should wait for these issues to be fixed or explicitly accepted by the owner.

Follow math ignores node rotation and parent transforms.

Line 665 subtracts the global origin and divides by the node's local scale. That conversion is only correct when the node and all ancestors have zero rotation, no skew, and unit ancestor scale. Use the inverse global transform instead, which handles all cases.

preserving user-assigned materials across enable/disable cycles.
- Around line 319-327: Correct the off_raw interpolation in the projection path

The documented scale clamp and the implemented clamp differ. set_scale clamps with CMP_EPSILON (1e-5), so a 0 or negative entry becomes an effective stored scale of 1e5, while the class documentation promises a 0.1 clamp.

get_configuration_warnings does not implement the documented warning.

scene/2d/mode7_sprite_2d.h line 153 states that this override warns when mode7_region_follow_target does not resolve to a valid Node2D. The body only forwards the base warnings, so the override adds nothing.

218-229: 🩺 Stability & Availability | 🔴 Critical | ⚡ Quick win

An empty override array now indexes the array out of bounds.

The previous num_overrides == 0 early return is gone, but nothing replaced it.

  • Line 228 reads mode7_scanline_overrides[0] without a size check.
  • In the non-projection path, idx_f = uv_y * (num_overrides - 1) becomes negative, and CLAMP((int)idx_f, 0, num_overrides - 1) evaluates to -1 because the maximum is below the minimum. Line 330 then reads index -1.

A user reaches this state by clearing the array in the Inspector while Mode 7 is enabled. Array index access aborts in debug builds and reads invalid memory in release builds.

Guard the size and emit an identity row instead.

🐛 Proposed fix
-	Ref<Mode7ScanlineOverride> first = mode7_scanline_overrides[0];
-	Mode7ScanlineOverride::InterpolationMode interp_mode = first.is_valid() ? first->get_interpolation() : Mode7ScanlineOverride::INTERPOLATION_NONE;
+	Ref<Mode7ScanlineOverride> first;
+	if (num_overrides > 0) {
+		first = mode7_scanline_overrides[0];
+	}
+	Mode7ScanlineOverride::InterpolationMode interp_mode = first.is_valid() ? first->get_interpolation() : Mode7ScanlineOverride::INTERPOLATION_NONE;

Add the identity fallback at the top of the per-row loop (after line 268):

+		if (num_overrides == 0) {
+			// Identity transform, centered pivot, white modulate.
+			img->set_pixel(0, y, Color(1.0f, 0.0f, 0.0f, 1.0f));

Cache the target only when it is a Node2D.

_update_follow_cache stores the id of any Node. The property hint restricts the Inspector, but a script can assign any path. The mismatch surfaces one physics frame later, where ObjectDB::get_instance<Node2D> returns nullptr and the new cleanup branch clears the cache silently.

_mode7_rebuild_material calls _mode7_rebuild_scanline_texture, which writes 3072 pixels through Image::set_pixel and uploads a new texture. mode7_override_region_aspect only feeds a bool uniform, so the table regeneration is wasted work on every toggle.

Convert the target position with the inverse global transform.

The current math subtracts the origin and divides by get_scale(). Two problems follow:

  • Node rotation and skew are ignored, so the region tracks the wrong point when the sprite is rotated.
  • A zero component in get_scale() produces inf in rr.position, which corrupts the region rect.

Transform2D::affine_inverse() handles rotation, skew, and scale in one step.

Align the property documentation with the implementation.

mode7_global_pivot does not anchor per-scanline transforms. Each override supplies that pivot.

mode7_interpolation applies to the complete override array. It does not blend “this entry” with neighbors.

Projection uses the first and last entries when more than two overrides exist. Do not state that it requires exactly two entries while also stating that extra entries are ignored.

724-739: 🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Start physics processing after the deferred cache refresh.

If the immediate lookup fails during a node rename, this method queues _update_follow_cache(). That deferred method can resolve the target, but it does not enable physics processing. The sprite then never receives NOTIFICATION_PHYSICS_PROCESS, so region following does not start.

Make the deferred refresh reconcile the processing state after it resolves the cache. A valid cached target must enable physics processing.

Refresh attached override property metadata after an interpolation change.

notify_property_list_changed() only refreshes Mode7Sprite2D. The nested Mode7ScanlineOverride resources own the skew read-only validation. After changing interpolation, the Inspector can retain the previous editable or read-only state for skew.

Notify each attached override after updating mode7_interpolation.

367-374: 🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Use the strength-blended linear scale for offset correction.

When mode7_projection_strength < 1.0f, Line 334 changes S, but Line 371 keeps s_linear based on the unblended anchor scales. At either anchor, depth_factor becomes nonzero unless strength is 1.0f or both scales match. This shifts the configured offsets even though the correction must be zero at the final transform anchors.

Blend s_linear toward S_flat with the same strength before calculating depth_factor.

Proposed fix
 			real_t s_linear = scale_top + (scale_bottom - scale_top) * t;
+			if (mode7_projection_strength < 1.0f) {
+				const real_t s_flat = (scale_top + scale_bottom) * 0.5f;
+				s_linear = s_flat + (s_linear - s_flat) * mode7_projection_strength;
+			}
 			real_t depth_factor = (s_linear > 0.001f) ? (S / s_linear - 1.0f) : 0.0f;

@coderabbitai

If this is the only comment, why is this still in the merge risk?:
At the current head, projection strength can distort configured offsets, deferred target resolution can leave region following inactive, and certain parameter values can collapse or fail to immediately refresh the projection.

I believe these have been addressed?

@GeneralProtectionFault You are correct for two of the three merge-risk claims.

  • Projection strength now adjusts s_linear before the offset correction. This addresses the configured-offset distortion case.
  • Deferred target resolution now calls _ensure_follow_physics(). That method refreshes the cache and enables physics processing when it finds the target. This addresses inactive region following.
  • The remaining projection-parameter issue is still present. mode7_projection_aspect_ratio accepts 0.0, the setters rebuild the full material without queue_redraw(), and the gamma calculation uses powf instead of Math::pow.

The merge-risk wording is stale. It should only describe the remaining projection-parameter behavior, or it should be removed if the remaining minor comment does not meet the merge-risk threshold.

The merge risk wasn't stale, you generated it on your last review, and the current review which addresses the last bit as well. It seems this state of code is mistakenly cached. Can this be updated correctly?

@GeneralProtectionFault You are correct. The current PR head addresses all parts of the remaining projection-parameter finding.

  • Line 322 uses Math::pow.
  • Line 614 rejects zero aspect ratios with CMP_EPSILON.
  • The projection setters use _mode7_refresh_projection_table().
  • That helper rebuilds only the scanline texture and calls queue_redraw().

The merge-risk state did not reflect the current head. I am refreshing the complete review so it recalculates the merge-risk assessment from the current code.

Inline comments:
In `@doc/classes/Mode7ScanlineOverride.xml`:
- Line 16: Correct the clamp value markup in the documentation text near the
transform description and the corresponding occurrence near line 31 so the
period is outside the [lb]0.00001[rb] markup.

In `@doc/classes/Mode7Sprite2D.xml`:
- Around line 79-83: Remove the leading whitespace before “Only applies in
Projection interpolation mode” in the mode7_projection_strength member
description so the documentation renders it as part of the paragraph without
extra indentation.
- Around line 88-91: Update the mode7_scanline_overrides documentation to
describe entries as transform anchors rather than one-per-output-row values.
Explain that adjacent anchors are interpolated and expanded into the internal
1024-row scanline table, so the array length is independent of output row count;
also correct the matching comment associated with mode7 scanline overrides in
the implementation.

In `@scene/2d/mode7_sprite_2d.cpp`:
- Around line 49-59: Update the embedded shader’s scanline-table documentation
to describe the actual 3-wide RGBAF texture and its three sample columns:
approximately x=0.1667 for the transform, x=0.5 for offset/pivot, and x=0.8333
for modulation. Keep the existing row and UV.y indexing explanation accurate.

## Summary

CodeRabbit can retain obsolete merge-risk findings after a new commit fixes the findings and a full review completes.

## Reproduction context

Affected pull request: https://github.com/Redot-Engine/redot-engine/pull/1348

The latest commit fixed the projection-related findings in `scene/2d/mode7_sprite_2d.cpp`:

- Gamma calculation uses `Math::pow`.
- `mode7_projection_aspect_ratio` rejects zero values.
- Projection setters use `_mode7_refresh_projection_table()`, which rebuilds the scanline texture and calls `queue_redraw()`.

A full CodeRabbit review completed after these changes. The merge-risk assessment identified the latest commit, but still stated that the resolved projection issues remained present.

## Expected behavior

When a full review evaluates the current PR head, the merge-risk assessment must use the findings from that revision only. It must remove or update claims for issues that the current head resolves.

## Actual behavior

The merge-risk assessment retained claims from an earlier revision after the full review evaluated a newer commit that fixed those issues.

## Affected area

CodeRabbit review-state and merge-risk assessment generation for pull requests.

## Acceptance criteria

- A full review recalculates the merge-risk assessment from the reviewed PR head.
- Resolved findings do not remain in the merge-risk assessment.
- The merge-risk text and the evaluated commit state remain consistent.

This is a CodeRabbit merge-risk state defect. It is not a Redot Engine issue. I cannot file an internal CodeRabbit, GitHub, or Microsoft report from this PR context.

I will not trigger another review or take further action. Sorry for the incorrect repository issue and assignment.

Ok as shown in the comments, Code Rabbit is kinda bugged out here and won't fix the Merge Risk.
I believe this is ready for reviewing/testing. I can squash if it's helpful, just wanted some "undo" points in the process.

Is there any reason why this should be a part of the core engine & can't be done with a plugin/addon?

Is there any reason why this should be a part of the core engine & can't be done with a plugin/addon?

It's debatable of course, but these are my thoughts, at least:

Definitely not a plugin. GDScript would be a poor tool to do this, particularly the calculations in C++ that are fed to the shader, which are available to be set at runtime from the methods exposed.

It depends on, and interacts with, Sprite2D, and it's easier to maintain here even if the API changes.
I think it's a popular enough use case with retro devs that it makes sense as a feature, and since it's a separate node, it doesn't interfere with existing Sprite2Ds, etc...

A slightly better argument could be made for a GDExtension, but this has a bunch of useful, fully documented functions exposed. This isn't good for an extension because then we're cutting off C#, at best. I'm pretty sure the C# glue cannot search for methods exposed in a GDExtension--it'd have to be available at compile time.

Also, until Redot has an established place to go for plugins and extensions, the accessibility of them is going to cut most of the folks out that would be interested anyway, especially considering either option cripples the feature in one or more of the ways I mentioned above.

I did ping Arctis on Discord before building this out, so @Arctis-Fireblight if you have any thoughts on this, let us know.

To make testing more intuitive, I've attached a simple project that will illustrate some of the utility of this with some placeholder textures of nauseating color.

Simply run it, and use the arrow keys to "navigate." This is the follow target functionality at work, which moves the region of the sprite, which creates a navigable infinite world.
