Can the character be reduced smaller than 1,1? .5 for example?

Also: Any way to make this RMXP friendly?

 

[Jason]

This could be really handy for me, however, I'm using XP sadly :sad:

Do you think there's a possibility of you making this compatible with XP too ? :angel:

Ok, i update the post and now we have both RMVX and RMXP script!!!

Enjoy

I hope you realize that both of these scripts have redundant code. Specifically, the repetition involving the zoom method. If you have it in Game_Character, you have no need to insert an identical method in Game_Player. Another tidbit of information is that you have no need to check to see if the character is indeed an instance of Game_Player when you set the zoom_x and zoom_y in RMXP. In fact, the two lines prior to that check will be sufficient. (Especially considering the fact that if the check proves true, all it does is repeat those two lines all over again)

Ah thanks for that, it'll make my life alot easier.

And Glitch, care to post the scripts without the redundant code ? (Unless falcao does it first)

Actually, it's an easy enough fix that you can do it. In the XP version, you want to remove lines 35-38 (the if statement), while in the VX version you can remove lines 52-57. (The entire modification to Game_Player)

 

[Jason]

Meh, why didn't I think of just doing that myself (Now I look over it again, it looks obvious, lol)... maybe it's cause I'm tired and everything is blurry...

 

[Myrmior]

Hmm, I got "Syntax error occurred while running script" after using the script in an event to shrink the charset to (.5,.5) with the XP version.

Can we not go below (1,1)?

 

[Daniel]

You must use 0.5 instead of .5.

 

[Myrmior]

Doh! That should have been obvious!
Thanks Daniel!


This script is wonderful, and so easy to use!

Saves me from making worldmap charsets for every character, while at the same time resolving an issue I was having with my save file menu! WooHoo!
