FAQ

You tell me...

Compatibility

It should be compatible with anything that does not modify Game_Actor or Game_Character classes.

Credits and Thanks

Well, thanks to Falca that gave me an idea of how to change a character's x and y zoom by looking at his script. I didn't like the way he dealt with it so I made my own scriptlet because of that.

So, how to Zoom the chatacter's graphic?

**kyonides** · 03-03-2010 10:17 PM

That's included in the script comments at the beginning of the script... but I'll paste that here now...

$game_player.zoom_xy(2.0,2.0) # Player gets double sized... Fat is bad!

$game_map.events[1].zoom(1.5,1.5) # Event 1 is 50% bigger

i can give an opinion in the project:
by just putting

Code:

class Sprite_Character

instead of

Code:

Sprite = File.exist?('Game.rxproj') ? RPG::Sprite : Sprite_Base

class Sprite_Character < Sprite

It will have the same effect, still its a good adaptation
