MBS - Map Zoom

Yeah it's enabled (although there aren't any parameters , nor is there a help section so i have to read it through notepad not sure if maybe something got messed up when I saved the plugin or not)

I turned off all my plugins as well except for this to see if there were any conflicts but hrm, still nothing :x

EDIT: I got it to work haha! So I ended up saving it the wrong way and none of it was working because of the wrong formatting style. BUT I do have another question now, is it supposed to be jerky when you move? Like, moving per tile?

EDIT 2: Oh my gosh I had the plugin command put in twice on accident, this is embarassing XD

Yeah, I'm pretty sure something got really messed up xD

Try downloading it from here.

Oh, I knew it xD

I got it to work flawleslly now :) thank you so much. This is DEFINITELY one of the neater plugins i've ever seen :D

This script makes me game look so beautiful when it's slightly zoomed in, I just wanted to come back and say thank you for this. 

My cut-scenes look wonderful because of this plug-in!

I've tried using the updated plug-in as suggested in the earlier post, but the bug still persists. For me, it looks like the box flashes for the destination points remain in the old zoom and doesn't follow the current zoom. I hope that made some sense. However, the movement is still accurate to where you click. Only the destination box flashes are not accurate on size and location.

Centering appears to be fixed now - but the BG still isn't scaling properly.

In my own script I can get the BG to scale properly with this JS statement, if it helps:

$gameScreen.setZoom((SceneManager._screenWidth)/2,(SceneManager._screenHeight)/2,2.5);

Here's a visual comparison.  Your script:

My script (my view is not properly centered on the character, like yours is)

Plugin updated:

Now it's working, you just have to add "[Zoom]" to the images you want to zoom with the screen (you need this with BindPictureToMap).

Fixed that, it also had some problems scaling weather effects, the shadow sprite and the parallax, fixed them too.

Same thing as above, the problem was I were scaling just the tilemap when I should have scaled the spriteset itself xP

plugin works wonderful now.  if it's not too much of trouble, could you make ZOOM OUT work well with background?

I wanted to have the zoomout effect and when I put the  command 'MapZoom set 0.5 0.5 duration 20'

the character zooms out in half well, but the background gets cut wierdly..

if you could make the back zoom out well with the command, thanks a million and hope it's not too much of trouble!

could I use this to make the screen closer 100% of the time? it seems zoomed out too far by default

Fixed it /o/


Edit: Ooops, some weird glitch started happening with the tilemap, fixed it. NOW it's working xP

Yes, you can, just set "Reset on map change" to false.

sorry but somehow it's still not working ...

still background gets cut  and alignment is mixed up..  T - T

ITS WORKING THNX :)

Hey Masked! Thank you for sharing your cool plugin with us!

After messing around a bit, I seem to have found an interesting glitch that I'd like to walk you through (I included pictures to better document / explain the situation on my end).

First off, I created a new project with just your script present and activated (version 1.1.5). I then whipped up a map (sized 40 x 40) and populated it with events that call your plugin commands... First I trigger an event to alter the MapZoom function... 



The Command scales both the background image / map as well as all of the event sprites as expected, but the alignment seems off...



I move over to the next event to trigger the MapZoom center reset function to try and fix the misalignment and noticed that the background image is static and only the events move... NOTE: the collision map still seems to be present but the image of the mountains and trees etc. no longer moves...

 

That command function doesn't seem to fix the misalignment or static map issue, so I move to the last event to trigger the MapZoom reset command...



The command returned the original scale of both the background map as well as all of the event sprites... 



But the background map remains static...



Any thoughts?? Hope this explains the glitch sufficiently...

Hi!

I have some problems but I REALLY NEED THIS! :D

First of all, thank you for doing this!!!

When I use the zoom function its zooms in but the i cant walk arround with the map.

The events follow/move fine but the map stays still.

Help! :(

OMFG, finally fixed it )o)


Maybe it's a little laggy, this will be fixed in the future, but now it's working at least x)

Is it possible to use the MapZoom center command without first having to reset the zoom, and then re-zoom?  Meaning, when the "camera" is already zoomed in, just to re-direct it to center somewhere else?  Like a camera pan? SO far I fade out, reset the zoom re-zoom to the same settings I had before but center it elsewhere, then fade back in...  I'd like to skip the fading, resetting the zoom, and re-zooming if I could.. it'd certainly be much more convenient for cutscenes,,,

I am new to RPGMaker. if I want a permanent Zoom on the Map always, how do I make this work?

There's a parameter for the plugin "Reset on Map Change"... set it to False

The zooming features are all working great, but it is causing some gnarly lag.

Going to about 4-20 FPS from 60 when this plugin is active. D:

Plugin updated:

Fixed this, the effect is still not smooth, the screen "teleports" to the new center, but this can be fixed later.

Oh, god, that looks hard to fix. I've made some changes and now it's working at about 35 fps here, but 60 fps seems to be very hard to reach. I'll work on it...

Thanx... I'll check out the new re-centering tonight when I get home...
