I believe if you set the screen's bound_height and bound_width it should work, however this will force your game into pixel_movement mode, which you might not want. Otherwise no, it's not possible because of the way big icons work in DM.

This isn't entirely true. As long as the bound_width and bound_height variables are set to a multiple of world.icon_size, then it won't force the world into pixel movement mode.

Ah! Good to know, will keep that in mind personally.

You'll need to set them yourself, I recommend looking up the reference entry for the two variables, you can find it by pressing F1 whilst in Dream Maker, clicking topic, and typing them in. Just make sure as Andrew said, you use multiples of your world.icon_size, unless you're alright with pixel movement.

Underneath title add "bound_width" and "bound_height" and set them to the size of the title screen, in pixels, but as I've said, make sure it's in multiples of world.icon_size, or else it'll force pixel movement, which you might be fine with, I don't know.

E:
Turfs don't have bound_width and height, actually. You'll either need to switch it to an obj or otherwise there's no way to change the size in the map editor.

bound* variables won't have an effect on how the map editor acknowledges big icons.

[...] it's not possible because of the way big icons work in DM.

Just be aware of where the 'source' of your big icons are (usually the bottom left unless offset variables are modified), it's not that difficult. If you ever forget, select the big icon as if you are going to place it and use that as a guide.

well when its not 1 i would have to go on map and edit all of the states or either have to codes it on the like pixel_x etc when its 1 we can just edit it map
Nov 23 2015, 10:41 pm
but i dont know when i put the PNG on the map it just naturally goes into icon states am gonna take an pic of the edit in map and show you...

This is all kinds of no. Use client.screen and images to accomplish this. What you're doing is ridiculous.

icon state


tag(i dont know what this is for)

Essentially this. Putting menu screens on a map can lead to a lot of potentially game breaking scenarios.

I'd use the map to plan out the interface and then use client.images to implement it.
