Minichars on World Map

[Charlie Fleed]

Minichars by Charlie Fleed
Version 1.01 (12-1-2008)

Introduction

The script resizes and shifts the player's sprite so that it fits with most of the world-map tilesets.
I'm pretty sure there must be something similar out there but i wasn't able to find it. Hope it isn't too buggy... i did it very hastily :P.

Instructions

Put an event called "world map" in all the maps in which you want the player resized.
EDIT (v1.01) put the names of the graphics files of the characters that you want resized in the MINICHARS array.

Script
