Direction scrolling confusion + Jump remapping

So I was trying to enable all-sides scrolling for my mod (and not just "both"), but noticed there were also types called "in" and "out", and "inout". What do they do? The description doesn't in the wiki doesn't seem clear to me, or how different they may be from up and down. Do they zoom in and out? How do they work?

Also, is it possible to have levels that can scroll both left and right, as well as up and down simultaneously? If so, how?

OH, and one more thing. If you reduce z to one pixel, thereby enabling platform-esque levels, I can then use the "Duck" animation by pressing down. Is it also possible to have a similar kind of remapping, where "Jump" is applied when pressing Up, without losing the significance of that direction button (say, for attacks)?

For jumping, I'm very sure it's possible to map the up press for it without ruining the mapping of buttons, but with scripts, it will work, guaranteed. You need to create a key script for your key(s) if you want to make that "jump" possible for pressing up instead of pressing a jump button.

Looks like no other choice, huh? XD Guess I'll have to do that.

BTW, I noticed your other post about voting to create OpenBOR tutorials. Do you have a Youtube channel somewhere that I don't know about?

I never tried direction in and out before so I can't tell you anything about that but for this ...

Yes, world map mode of D&D mod we released months ago is wide allowing player to scroll left/right and up/down
That map has wide playing field

branch map
z 15 740 15

That's 725 pixels of playing field to explore :)

You mean this one? (Took me a while to find it.) I don't see download link there, I'd like to try it...

It's got an inventory system.  :o Must have taken a lot of scripting!

But yeah, does "direction both" suffice or that, or is there some other parameter altogether?
