Resizing tiles

[Grimdour]

Basically I'm making a game with an 8x8 tile resolution, but XP only allows 32x32 tiles. Is there any way to change this or do I have to pile up the tiles to make the whole thing compatible?

Let's see... insanely complicated script, or just live with it.  Those are your choices, I think, because the maker itself uses 32x32 tiles, and you can't really edit RMXP itself.

So it would be much easier to use compacted stuff, then.

Still, I know someone who's done basically the same thing on a Pokemon game here using the same program.

Are you sure that's what they did?  The tiles I saw in use there could have all been 32x32, from what I saw.

...Then again, in theory, a script can change it.  It's just going to be a lot of trouble, since the maker software uses 32x32, and you can't script that.

Personally, I'd say forget it. Your only other option like stated before would be to get a crazy script. IF you want that crazy script, however, I bet that seph could get/make it for you ( one of the scripting gods of this site...).

Don't worry, I asked the guy who mad it and said he doubled the normal resolution.

Actually, it isn't all that difficult. All you need is SephirothSpawn's tilemap script, as well as some choice edits to the Game_Map, Game_Character, Game_Player, Sprite_Character, and Spriteset_Map classes. All you really do in the classes I mentioned is change some numbers and add a couple lines to zoom the sprites out. It's not that hard to do, if you knwo how the numbers are used in player movement.
