Spritesheet selection box too small, even with $ and proper dimensions.

(...) it could be a plugin that you forgot to list too, as it's something relevant.

I did a bunch of additional troubleshooting, and I was able to make the entire sprite appear under only one condition -- in a brand-new project.

As far as my actual project ... switching off the Cyclone plugins didn't work. Switching off all plugins didn't work. Starting a new map didn't work. Remaking the cerberus event didn't work. Various combinations of the things I just listed didn't work. I'm stumped.

the fact that it does work as usual in a new project means that it is really something in your current project that you changed that causes the problem.

finding the cause might be more difficult however - but that doesn't mean it's impossible. There are still other suggestions possible.

First question, especially if all changes are being ignored:
When the project is loaded, go to "game - open folder" in the menu.
In the specific folder that then appears, is there a folder www, yes or no?

It appears not.

EDIT: I've figured out the issue -- there appears to still be a bug with the subfolder feature added in recent MZ versions.

I tried using a different large sprite to see if it produced the same cutoff problem I've been having the last few days with the cerberus. Sure enough, it did.

I moved both the cerberus and the other large sprite out of their subfolders and back into the main Characters folder, and they work fine now.

If you can reproduce it, be sure to report it as a bug - this thread is insufficient for that.

I have not tested the following, but try adding it as a new plugin. This might temporarily help while waiting for a fix:

ImageManager.isObjectCharacter = function(filename) {
    const sign = Utils.extractFileName(filename).match(/^[\!\$]+/);
    return sign && sign[0].includes("!");
};

ImageManager.isBigCharacter = function(filename) {
    const sign = Utils.extractFileName(filename).match(/^[\!\$]+/);
    return sign && sign[0].includes("$");
};

Hi,

I added this but got an error when I loaded a playtest:



I've never created a JS file before, though, so maybe it's something I did? I pasted your code into a Notepad file and saved it as a .js file.

Someone already asked this but I didn't see that you answered them ... what version of MZ are you on? If you open your project and go Game > Open Project Folder then navigate to the js folder and open rmmz_core.js, what is the version shown on the first few lines?

I updated to 1.3.3 at someone's suggestion earlier in the thread. I just checked Help > About and confirmed that's the version I am on.
However, I also checked the rmmz_core file, and the very first line says "v1.3.0"

Is this just a matter of needing to go to Game > Update Corescript, and executing the overwrite?

You have updated your editor, but not your project. Please see the pinned update threads - they will tell you what you need to do.

Ah, yeah, I didn't realize installing a new version didn't also update the project files automatically. Large sprites with the $ designation show up fine now during playtesting.

Thanks to everyone who responded!
