Title: Suggestion: Zoom Background
Post by: DCillusion on Mon 13/09/2004 19:35:10
I'm sure I'll get banned from posting any more suggestions, but here goes one more.

It would be nice if the main background screen had a zoom feature in the editing room.  On high resolutions, it can be very difficult to colour a "walk-behind" area with much precision.  Once you play the game, however,  the sloppiness of drawing your walk behind in 320x240 box is all too obvious.

(P.S. - This is the last suggestion.....Promise)

What is wrong with masks?

Masks would work, I still think Zooming background would be easier, and it could help other situations too.

I'm not downplaying what you're saying.  Thank you for the resolution.

IMO, the AGS editor should left as is regarding the drawing of areas, you've created your background in tool x (be it paint, ps, psp.. whatever) so you really should be comfortable in using that to create masks.

Much easier to have a program with layers to do it rather than try redraw the shape with a pencil and fill tool..
