I got one, but it's a killer.....

Map Zoom and Distance. Obviously, zooming in brings all tiles/sprites/etc closer to the viewer or player. Makes everything larger. Distance is the reverse and makes it so you see more than a normal 20x15 tile viewport with RMXP.

Nah, the zoom is kind of incorporated in mkxp and HiddenChest from the beginning, just change some settings in the hiddenchest.conf file and you get... a permanent zoom Laughing + Tongue sticking out

Not when it's a cinematic part of a game that a game developer wants, like having the camera zoom away to show how big the world is. I've seen it requested in games for quite a while. And MGC's NeoMode7 has that feature in his DLL.

So practically you're asking me to include a Mode7 script / code... Not gonna happen any time soon, guys! Laughing + Tongue sticking out Recall I'm developing it on my own and I'm not a superb C++ nor C developer at all. Sad

Oh, no no no no. It was also made a decade ago with the RMXP SDK whilst using SephrothSpawn's Tilemap remake. Nothing but Ruby code there. BUT it would be faster with C+ and you were game, his Neo Mode 7 thread has source code for his DLL Winking

Something Makes Me Think We Are in the Twilight Zone!
Shocked 

At least that's what I think... What about you, guys? Confused 

[Image: screenshot-2020-01-02-21h58m55s.jpg]

It's true! Shocked Now we gotta read backwards! Confused 
Nah! Laughing + Tongue sticking out I just let you use a new method to draw text in the opposite direction. Laughing
No images on the harddisk are needed here! Grinning
Guess what? Happy with a sweat There's still more I need to tell you today! Shocked
Now you can load fonts located in several different paths! Grinning
Like /usr/share/fonts and many others! Very cheery
You don't really need to stick with the local Fonts directory! Very cheery 
Happy with a sweat What I (un)intentionally forgot to mention here is that it's only valid for Linux distros sadly... Laughing + Tongue sticking out
Alright, it's a good thing for Linux enthusiasts like your servitor. Laughing
I don't know how to convert %WINDIR% into a working path so Windows users gotta wait a little bit longer... Indifferent
Even so I've got good news for you! You can be saved today! Shocked 
OK, fine! Happy with a sweat This is a maker site, I know... Indifferent 
But it's still kind of valid even for the RMXP engine based game projects... Winking 

Melana: Kyonides, is it really so hard for you to finally let us know what you're talking about here?
A living pack of wolvish fleas: Let him be! He just need to add some thrill to his story as usual.
Melana: Yeah, you're probably right, DerVVulfman... It gotta be just another awesome feature he included in his engine.
Kyonides: Huh!? I wonder what made you think so in the first place. Confused 

I guess I might end up disappointing you, guys, a little bit but not more than that. Winking 
It happens that I managed to find a pesky bug and smash it! Grinning 
You know, it felt really good to exact revenge on it. Laughing

Melana: Oh I see... You could say bug fixes are welcome as well.
Kyonides: Glad to read that, dear sweet dreamer!

Especially because it happened right in the midst of bloody battles against those cold assassins better known as phantoms! Shocked 

Melana: Why do you say so? Did they appear and disappear in battle as real ghosts?
BountyHunterLani: O_O *vanishes in thin air like a ghost then*
Kyonides: Kind of... Even if I didn't notice she had visited my thread earlier today... Confused
Some admin: You gotta have scared her with your beyond the crypt news for sure! Laughing + Tongue sticking out

Actually what I really mean here is that we've got other ghosts than the actual white ghosts Aluxes seems to love... slashing in his spare time. Laughing 

Melana: This is really perturbing, now my dreams will become actual nightmares for sure. Sad 
Kyonides: On the contrary, Melana!
DerVVulfman: Then explain yourself!

Well, on Windows but never on Linux distros you were able to witness something "amazing"...
Battle animations except for colored flashes had disappeared! Happy with a sweat
I've told you there were more ghosts than ever to talk about here. Laughing
Don't worry, my fellow adventurers! Shocked
It has been fixed permanently! Grinning

Melana: But how did it happen?
Furry Wolf: Yeah, I've never seen that on any other engine...
Kyonides: Well, there's a funny story behind it... Happy with a sweat 

I might have had introduced a minimal bug about a couple of months ago that prevent the engine from setting the default sprite's opacity to 255 as usual. You see, originally both the setter and getter functions written in C used a macro that called C++ code to get its value.

BountyHunterLani: Me not understand... Confused

Oh... Happy with a sweat It means that setting and retrieving the current opacity value depended on an entirely different language, namely C++. I just preferred to load it from Ruby itself and that's where the opacity was set to nil instead of 255 or any other valid value. Laughing So I had to manually set it and now it works as expected. Laughing + Tongue sticking out 

What I find the most curious out of all of this long tale is that it also took me a few days to find it out on my own. Laughing We could now say that the length of my current post reflects those days of confusion, dead ends and frustration. Laughing + Tongue sticking out 
You know what? Indifferent Loading fonts from other locations on Linux also seemed to be such a pain you know where... Happy with a sweat 
I was supposed to upload the demo like on December 31st, then last night but it only took place today. Laughing 

By the way, I repeat: "horizontal flip applied on fonts now work on all officially supported platforms!" Shocked
Here's a sample script.

Code:
@sprite = Sprite.new
@sprite.set_xy(100, 100)
@sprite.bitmap = Bitmap.new(250, 44
font = @sprite.bitmap.font
font.flip = true
font.name = 'Hack'
font.shadow = true
font.shadow_size = 2
@sprite.bitmap.draw_text(0, 0, 250, 40, "Hacking your PC! :P", 1)

So okay... I got a challenge... Instead of left-to right, how about a Top-Down format for the text as it's written in Japanese or Chinese books?

Do it yourself by changing the default RGSS script... =_=¡

By the way, I'd like to ask you to send me PM's with the most common Win32API calls so as I can include some sort of script in HiddenChest to transform them into HiddenChest Game Scripting alias HCGS (since I can't call it RGSS for I don't own that acronym... Confused )

Graphical Improvements & Extended Arrays


Well, I guess you might recall I provided colored backdrops that included several colors like gray, sepia, blue, red, green and yellow. Guess what? I totally forgot about black! Happy with a sweat I don't offer white because, well, the engine thinks it's pretty much transparent or excessively grayish. Laughing

What's this? Shocked A gradient backdrop!? Grinning
