I made two small upgrades to the mentioned script. f0tz didn't like them, so I'm publishing them as a standalone 
New features:
- "Resident Evil"-like movement type, that is: left/right turns the player around, up/down moves player forward/backward. It's compatible with 4 and8 directional sprites, and can be changed during the game.
- Map triggers: this is something that lets you paint areas on the map, an then trigger something, when player steps on those areas. The painting takes place on the collision maps. On the white parts you can paint with some other colors, which have to be defined in the Game_Map class. By default 6 new colors are defined (i.e. "red" is Color.new(255,0,0)). After that you can run a parallel event to check if the player steps on any of the colors specified. One event is enough to handle multiple areas with different colors. The checking itself is based on the "Script" function of the "Conditional Branch" command.
- Minor functions used for the RE movement - turn right/left by 45 degrees.
Script:
Usage:
To switch the resident evilness of the movement change the:
at the end of the script (or from event command) to true/false
To check if a player is on some area, let's say it's defined as "red" (Color.new(255,0,0,0)) make a parallel Conditional Branch -> Script:
and put anything you like in the condition.

# Upgrades to f0tz!baerchen's Pixelmovement 1.6 by arev
# 10.11.2008
#
# New functions:
# - "Residen Evil"-like movement type: left/right turns the hero,
# up moves him forward,
# down moves him bacward.
# Supports 4/8 directional sprites.
# - Map Triggers: this function lets you to use the areas of the map
# to trigger events. To do it just paint the passability map
# with some colors. The colors can be defined just below.
# To check if a hero is over some color use a script conditional branch:
# $game_map.trigger == "red"
# where "red" is one of the colors defined.
