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.
