Getting large icons to be what they are, large.

It seems that just making an object with an icon that is larger then 32x32 scales the icon to 32x32. In one case it even doesn't show the icon, but I believe that to be another issue. What step do I seem to be missing to make the icon appear full size? Do I have to use scale? Do I need to make a code to place it's icon states?

Your map element needs to have the specified size set. If your map elements' icon-size=32, then it will try to scale it to 32x32.

If this is solely about objects (and not world.icon_size being higher than 32), then your problem probably lies in world.map_format, which has to be set to TOPDOWN_VIEW in order for that functionality to work.

Or ISOMETRIC_VIEW, of course. In other words, anything but TILED_ICON_MAP, which is there to restore the old behavior.

So your saying TOPDOWN_View will let me create objects larger then 32x32 using the new large icon system?

TOPDOWN_VIEW or ISOMETRIC_VIEW if your game is topdown or isometric. Keep in mind that the object itself will not cover multiple tiles, but the large icon will be displayed across the map.

I just want the icon to show its overlays to make it appear it's full size. I have already taken into account it's real placement on the map. Im using TILED_MAP since the project was started back in 3.0.

Consider moving over to TOPDOWN_VIEW.

I notice an error in these posts. TOPDOWN_VIEW is invalid. For anyone stumbling onto this, please use TOPDOWN_MAP as that is the correct var.

I knew it! I even edited my post to change it to TOPDOWN_VIEW because I thought it was that. Memory beats me once more.

Lol, well it seems that TOPDOWN_MAP is causing the errors that TILED_MAP fixed. But it does fix the issue with icons not appearing their proper size. Now to fix my title screen once more.
