Custom Map Scene Plugin for RPG Maker MV

This plugin adds a custom scene called 'Scene_CustomMovePicture' to the game, and allows you to scroll and interact with the picture. You are also able to add other icon images on top of the base image, and specify a sound effect for when the player scrolls through the image or zooms in/out. A simple use case for this is to create a world map, but no doubt there are other use cases for this as well.

Instructions

To use this plugin, simply install it and make sure to change all the filenames in the parameters to a valid filename from your project. All sound effects must be from the 'se' folder and all images like icons, cursors, and the base map image must be from 'pictures.'  In order to add this custom map scene to the main menu, I'd recommend using Yanfly's MainMenuManager and adding the following to the plugin parameters for that plugin.

The symbol for this custom scene is called 'map' (although again, you could use this for another purpose). 

The player can interact with the image by scrolling using directional input, and by zooming in/out using page down/page up respectively. Depending on the size of your base image and the resolution of your project, it may not be possible to scroll or zoom out as this plugin prevents you from going outside the bounds of the image. For this reason I suggest using an image that at least fully fills your project's resolution, if not one that is larger.

Parameters

There are parameters for:

• map name
• cursor name
• icon names to be layered on top of the image, and padding for each
• scroll sound effects
• zoom sound effects

Why does this plugin require payment?

I'm an indie dev myself using RPG Maker MV (I'm developing Born In Reverie on Steam). As you know, developing a years-long project can be a massive undertaking, financially, emotionally, physically, etc. I work with some badass RPG Maker community members to help develop my project, and I'm super happy to support them all financially. And now... I'm trying to support myself financially! I refuse to compromise on the quality of my own art, and I refuse to do anything less than support all the contractors I work with to the best of my financial ability. Buuuuut I'm still a team of one trying my best to make ends meet at the end of the day, so anything helps! I use all my plugins myself and I ain't going anywhere, so you can rest easy knowing I'll continue to support these and update them in years to come.

Thanks
