Why is it that, when I use this command in an event, the picture I'm using isn't displayed at it's full size? It only shows a part or piece of it.

Also, how do I get it to appear at the center? I clicked "center" on the display position entry, but it appears in a corner of the screen.

for positioning, you'll have to set it as upper lest, and calculate how many "pixels X/Y need to be, to put the pic in the middle(note each map tile is 32x32 pixels).

The whole picture positioning is atrocious.

I don't know what's going on with your pic sizing though.

RMMV
you should read the description of the command a bit better.


"Center" does NOT refer to the center of the screen - it refers to which part of the picture file should be used for the coordinate reference.


The coordinates to display the picture are set in the command as X and Y - and 0,0 is the top left edge of the screen.


If you want to center the picture on the screen then you should use the coordinates for the screen center pixel (272,208) and reference the picture on center.

Cartoonier cloud cover that better fits the art style, as well as (slightly) improved blending/fading... fading clouds when there are larger patterns is still somewhat abrupt for some reason.
