Is there anyway to stop DreamMaker from resizing your bitmaps? It keeps shrinking mine down to 32x32 and I don't know how to stop it.

Euh, place it with the 'Add' button, not fill when making a map.

I'm not using it on the map. Sorry I should have specified, I'm using it for an image.

hmm. well, im not sure this is what you mean, but lets say you had a picyure of a house made on paint, and you wanted it to be put in a map.
obj
    house
        icon = 'house.psd'/*note the .png, it must be one, not a bitmap..*\
you would than place than on your map and, violala, you have a house. it will be full size.

You put a .psd in there. It cannot be that. It's gotta be a PNG, BMP (Bitmap), or an icon.

Evi of au has a library called 'DisplayImage' I think. It lets you take a .BMP, or a .PNG image and it expands it starting at the bottom left icon of the entire image.

I cant see how it would be shrinking it down to a 32x32 image unless you are importing a bmp into DM as an icon.

I don't know why either, but it is!

<code> var/I3 = image('Mob1.bmp',T2,FLY_LAYER+11) src<<I3</code>

It's a large bitmap, not even square shaped, yet always appears as a 32x32 square tile.

Try var/image/I3.

I don't see how that could help at all, but I tried it anyway, and it didn't =P If I place the same .bmp on the map as a turf it doesn't shrink, but I really need the image, not the turf.

AFAIK, images and screen objects that are larger than 32x32 are shrunken down. You need to import the file into a .dmi so it will split it, then use the icon states it gives you accordingly.

Heh, that bites! Maybe a procedure could be added into the next update to let you keep them full-size...

Surpsingly enough, no one has stated this. Images are divided into coordinates relative to their location on an image. Because you didn't supply an icon_state, you got the default, blank one, which is a resized image 32x32.

For images larger than 32x32 if used as an icon will shrink to 32x32 on the empty icon state. However you can get parts of the image by using an icon state in the format x,y to get 32x32 chunks of the image. To figured out how many chunks there are just use the icons_states proc(In fact the example in the reference entry demonstrates this). Then just use seperate images, objects, turfs, overlays, or whatever to build the full image.
