(I am not sure if I overlooked that issue in the manuel or while searching this forum)

My feeling is that the default height of the own character is too big. It always feels as if the character would look down on the other characters in the game. Is there an option where I can decrease the height of the own character? (e.g., that s/he sees the world from a dwarf-perspective...)?

Thanx!!

I had that request in feature creep but it is impossible in the current version. I was a bit bugged with the size of the other characters but found out that THEY are all scaled down to 80% in their fpe files so you can grow them to your liking by editing the fpe. With a decent text editor you even could do a search and replace for a bunch of characters but be sure to BACKUP before you change anything.

I am Jacks complete lack of surprise.

...setting their scale to 90% - 95% has given me very good results.

Great, thanks! It worked!

For all others:
- I used the FPI EditPad by Flatlander (you can also use WordPad) to edit the .fpe - scripts of the characters (can be found in the entitybank-directory).
- Height of the character can be rescaled by setting for example "scale = 90".

Thanks again.
