How to resize event graphic (Hexagram) ???

[wandering-warrior]

Hi, i want to resize the hexagram graphic but don't know the grid for working. I think the selection box is bigger than 32x32. What is the grid for graphics???

And i want to make only one hexagram bigger so what should i put before the name $ or ! or !$ ???????

Pretty much all VX Ace graphics use 32x32. What you need to do is duplicate the original !Hexagram file, open it with Photoshop or Gimp, then adjust the size of their hexagrams how you see fit. This is easily done by using the Scale Image (this option is under the Image Menu in Gimp) and scale from 100% (original) to any percentage higher until you receive your desired size.

After that change the name of the Hexagram file to a different name (I chose !Hexagram2) then import and the editor should pick up the larger hexagram options for eventing.

Aye as Psyker said, but don't forget that some graphics might look very strange or low quality after resizing them, you might have to get a completely new one :3

Additionally, you can easily make copies of the in game RTP bits using the Resource Manager that's somewhere on the top bar of your maker!

Yeah, the image quality drops greatly. I think im gonna post it in the resource request if anyone can make a new one

@psyker,

i tried what u said but after scaling, the picture doesn't fit in the grid and as a result while using it in the editor , some parts are cut

No, they don't. Character graphics can be of almost any size as long as they're in proper format.

@gamers:

Just make sure there are 12 of the hexagrams in the picture (3 across, 4 down). Save it as $file and it will display properly.

Yeah,, thanx lunarea it worked properly, but as ryanA said the image quality dropped so im gonna post a topic in request section and see if anyone can help. If no one helps then i'll go on with it. Doesn't look too bad though

( LOL i still didn't get my main game element and i'm worrying about a tiny hexagram )

Well I guess I should have said, most RTP graphics are 32x32.

Spoiler

This seemed to scale properly for me. All I had to do was add it as I stated, without the $ in front of the file. Then use the graphic in a event.

Yeah, my one is a little more bigger so the quality is not good enough, let's see what happens in the resource requests.

Any ways thanx for all ur help guys
