Zoom in and Zoom out?

[PolvoT_GamesVX]

Hi, is there a way to make the camera vision bigger or smaller?
I would like to know if there is a way to make zoom out in the game, so you can see more map.
The camera from RPG Maker VXAce just shows 13x17 tiles. Is there a way to show more or less?

yes and no.

the problem is the screen size and the graphics library - the default library has a maximum screen size of 640x480, and that would be the maximum detail for zoom out.
There are zoom scripts that go beyond, but they cannot add additional information to that screen, only make pixels bigger.

However there is a project to replace the default closed source display library with an open one using DirectX. If that replacement library is stable it can be done that way. I just don't have any actual link.

Other than that you would have to use either MV or MZ, and that transfer would only possible if your game is in the beginning as too much would change switching there.

There is a script for Ace that allows you to zoom in and out but I don't recall if it was Galv's or Blue's.

Huh ok thanks!
To be honest I was just curious, to know if it was somethin' easy or really complicated.

The following script will jailbreak resolution but you'll need to personally adjust all menus/screens/battle stuff, everything yourself, so it's far from perfect but will be more compatible with certain scripts vs the other RGD Engine, either way both require you to manually adjust scripts that adds stuff now in the wrong place due to resolution change.

Then you can add a script that has a zoom/in out function which adds that function such as.

But it'll cost €30 for its commercial use.
A free commercial zoom is hard to find.
