Good evening everyone,

I'm looking for someone who could help me with my problem - I'm also willing to pay something in return.
It probably is something that is not that hard to achieve if you know what you're doing.

My problem is:
I want to have a permanent Zoom ingame, so Charsets and Tilesets are always 2x bigger than in original, but all the images, menu,... not.

It kind of works with the MBS_MapZoom Plugin (Github Link)

However - nearly all other Camera-Plugins (Galv, SRD,...) stop to work correctly as soon as it is included in the game (some don't load at all, some have jittering pixels,...).

With MBS_MapZoom, it is possible to set the "Zoom Center" onto an event, so this event is the new Center of the Camera. However, when it's set, it sets it INSTANT. So - it kind of jumps just to the given event.

What I want is that like in many other plugins, the camera does not just jump to the given event, but slides to it (so, kind of a transition).

As an alternative, I also tried to achieve the permanent zoom on my own with this script as parallel event:
Code: 
var xPos = $gamePlayer.screenX()
var yPos = gamePlayer.screenY()
$gameScreen.setZoom(xPos,yPos,2)

It then zooms in, but the camera is not keeping the Player in focus but sliding around in a way I can't really explain.

As said, I'd be ready to pay something for someone who could achieve this.

Greetings,
Kirimoar
