Sprites not displaying properly

[egot1stical]

Hey, I'm very new to using ren.py, and I've run into a bit of an issue. When I use the show sprite command, the sprite is displayed really zoomed in and I cannot for the life of me figure out why. I'm sure it's something simple I am missing, so any help is appreciated!

I use the typical

Code: Select all

show l stretch 
with dissolve

and it's always zoomed in. It happens with all the sprites that I've tried...

Why not unzoom when you show it?

Code: Select all

show l stretch with dissolve:
      zoom 0.1

Then you can adjust based on the size of the zoom. 1.0 should be full size. 0.5 is half size.

Several possibilities, since you gave not very much information:
1. The sprite may be just that huge. Check the file. Don't just doubleclick it, because Windows will scale it to fit your screen. Check its metadata or load it into an editor.
2. The definition of the sprite already zooms it. How did you define the image?
3. Something else I can't guess unless I know how you defined the image.

PS: Don't zoom and unzoom images. That's really wonky and will bite you in the rear sooner or later.
