How to scale a layer without bilinear interpolation

[lynn]

Is there a way to transform a layer with bilinear interpolation set to "False"?
I'd like to show a layer at double size without bilinear interpolation.

[PyTom]

No - bilinear interpolation is hardcoded in at the moment.

Thanks for the quick reply.

So aside from ATL, is there any other way I could show a layer at double size without bilinear interpolation?

[lynn]

I've tried using

Code: Select all

show layer mylayer at FactorZoom(2.0, 2.0, 0, bilinear=False)

Though the layer scales properly, setting the bilinear property to true or false seems to have no effect. It'll always use bilinear even if bilinear is set to false. Was that functionality taken out?

Where exactly is this hard coded? Since my game is all pixel art, it may be easier for me to just adjust the code there rather than trying to do it dynamically.

In motion.py, I tried setting the bilinear parameter in ZoomCommon to False, but this seemed to have no effect either.

I don't think there's one place - it's throughout the code.

I'd suggest just doubling the pixels in an image program, and then using the pre-doubled images to make your game. That will likely work better than trying to synthesize the result on the fly.

You can still access nearest-neighbour scaling with the image manipulators im.FactorScale and im.Scale

For now, I've solved the problem by using im.FactorScale and condition switches for all images in my game. It's not an ideal solution because it means that I can't zoom in or out like I wanted, but it'll do. It would definitely help pixel artists if the option for non-bilinear scaling could be added back in renpy in the future. Linear interpolation is just not suitable for working with pixel art.
