Scaling tiles....... How?

[John_Andersson1]

Okay, so I’ve made some changes to the way I make maps. Previously, every tile was 120 x 120, but that took up a lot of memory (the tilesets).

So now they are 16 x 16, and I want to scale them up to 128 x 128.

I am using tiled map editor, and in that program the maps are made with 16x16 tiles, I want to scale the map during import in flashpunk.

I have embedded the tileset used, but how do I scale it properly? I have managed to scale the map properly with

_map_Ground = new Tilemap(DUNGEON_1, mapWidth * 128, mapHeight * 128, 128, 128);

But the graphics are still not scaled. I’m guessing I should scale the embedded DUNGEON_1 tileset… But how?

How about just some good old

FP.screen.scale = 8;    // 128 / 16  = 8

to zoom that in, and then the camera to follow up what you want to follow?

I’ve read up that screen scaling is bad for the performance (and in some cases for the visuals)… so that’s unfortunately not an option here

I googled this and this is what I’ve found:

Scaling everything on the screen but some entitys

I have a screen scaled to twice his size and most of my graphics are 16x16 (tiles and entities) so every entity is 32x32 in screen. what i want to do is that one special entity renders in the screen without scaling to 32x32, just have this entity's size being 16x16. I have been trying to modify the image's rendering, but i cant really find where it is scaled.

hope it’ll help
