Shrink Player Graphic by 50% on World Map

Shrink Player Graphic by 50% on World Map
For RMVX

Description:
I would like a scriptlet that shrinks the player graphic, what ever it is, by 50% when the player is on a map called "World Map", it still needs to be compatible with the general Set Move Route commands that change player graphics, transparency, etc.

Other Scripts I am using (in order):
My own custom menu system
My own "get map name" module
Dargor's map for title VX
A side-view active timer custom battle system

Just ask for more info
Thank you

You can open up any image program and size a graphic down by half. Then you would only have to import that graphic into the game folder and use the "Change Graphic" command when entering the world map. There is no need for scripting.

Or, a simple script could check the map name on load, and resize the image with the "zoom" command. When that is done, all you have is a smaller graphic, with no other changes. In fact, I think I'll work on that right now.

Edit: Here you go.

That wouldn't be useful as the player is required to return to the world map countless times and there are 7 different player graphics, so there would need a few conditional branched events.

Thanks glitch I'll try that now.

Glitch, I got a question, would that script work for RMXP if I changed;

map_data = load_data("Data/MapInfos.rvdata")

to

map_data = load_data("Data/MapInfos.rxdata")

Cause this could come in handy with quite a lot of games, and it'd be nice to be compatible with both makers...

 

[Xilef]

Thanks it works fine.

@jbrist: There are already some shrink player graphic for world map scripts for XP, just there wasn't one for VX yet.

 

[Jason]

Ah, I've never noticed them, or if I have, I've forgotten about them, lol.

Actually, yeah. If you look in your RMXP data folder, you'll see a MapInfos.rxdata file. Just so you know, that line of code came from an old support thread posted here, where someone wanted to display a map's name in RMXP using scripts. (Their thread was apparently never resolved, but I got that nice fix from it)
