Show picture world map window{xp}

[Kingdom Ablaze]

im making a cms in rpg maker xp, what im looking for some one to make is really simple i just cant get it to work. i need it so when i call $Scene_World_Map.new. it makes a window the size of the whole screen(640 by 480) then fills it with the picture of my choice. from the data base of course. it would be awsome if it was possible to zoom in, but that is not required.

thanks, ps. i hope i wasnt vauge. please feel free to yell at me if need be

Well, it's really easy just to show a picture. Create any event (probably a common event you can link to the map item) and click the "show picture" button. Then select the picture of the map (make sure its in the right folder and has an appropriate file name) then Well, it's really easy just to show a picture.

Then select the picture of the map (make sure its in the right folder and has an appropriate file name) then adjust the zoom so that the picture fills the whole screen. I haven't used this myself (no map), but I think that events will run in the background too, so try to use the "erase picture" after a wait or maybe a script? Anyway, it's very basic, but I bet you could play around a bit and eventually a zoom thing going. Anyway, hope that answers your question.

If you want to make an image in RGSS, you use:

@sprite = Sprite.new
@sprite.bitmap = RPG::Cache.picture("picture name.png")

Its x and y values default to 0, so if the picture is 640x480 you shouldn't have a problem with that.

thanks, and if anyone needs a code like this here is how i did it

Spoiler

class Scene_Draw_Picture
def initialize(name)
name = name.to_s
@sprite = Sprite.new
@sprite.bitmap = RPG::Cache.picture(name)
end
#--------------------------------------------------------------------------
# * Main Processing
#--------------------------------------------------------------------------
def main
# Execute transition
Graphics.transition
# Main loop
loop do
# Update game screen
Graphics.update
# Update input information
Input.update
# Frame update
update
# Abort loop if screen is changed
if $scene != self
break
end
end
# Prepare for transition
Graphics.freeze
end
def update
# If B button was pressed
if Input.trigger?(Input::B)
# Play cancel SE
$game_system.se_play($data_system.cancel_se)
# Switch to menu screen
$scene = Scene_Menu.new(3)
return
end

end

end
