Walking characters not scaling smoothly

[statelessrich]

Hi all,

None of my characters are scaling smoothly when walking up and down rooms with continuous scaling enabled.
I've done a lot of investigation but am unable to find a cause or solution.

I'll be glad to provide any additional information.

Thank you

Could you be a bit more specific, maybe provide a screenshot? Do they scale at all? Or just not smoothly enough? what did you enter as factors in the walkable area properties?

[statelessrich]

Yes, they scale, just not smoothly at all.
Here are the scaling values for both rooms.

room1:
maxscalinglevel: 100
minscalinglevel: 0
usecontinuousscaling: true

room2:
maxscalinglevel: 300
minscalinglevel: 0
usecontinuousscaling: true

I will upload a video shortly.

Here is a video of the issue:

The video is too dark for me to see anything, but there certain is some problem with character scaling in AGS as far as I remember, as the scaling is only done in integral value of the scaling percentage, there may be visible "jumps" when a character's scale is being changed. This should be even more visible in higher resolutions. I think there isn't any good solution at the moment, unless the engine is updated to use a float for the scaling parameter.

Thank you for the reply.

I think once you add an actual walking animation, it will be much less noticeable anyway.
