Summary

I love RPG Maker MZ, there's loads of new features that were available in the 2003 version that are conspicuously absent in newer versions (plus, who doesn't love the chunky pixels of RM2K3?) So basically, I'm looking for plugins that will give RPG Maker MZ features that were available in RPG Maker 2003 but were dropped in newer versions. So far I have three: Low-res graphics - Pixel Perfect Scaling Mode Low-res text - OpenType Pixel Font Renderer Call Map Event - Template Events

If anyone knows of any plugins that add in more RM2K3 features (or do the same things at the three listed, but better) I'd love to hear. I'm particularly looking for a way to recreate RM2K3 image commands, where I could use variables to set the size and transparency of the image, use sprite sheets, animations, etc.

EDIT: I meant using sprite sheets and animations for the pictures. Also, I would enjoy the ability to mass-erase pictures and replace tiles.
