Okay, I'm sure I read about this somewhere, but I freely admit to my dumb-assed-ness at not being able to find it again. Plus I'm out of time to look for tonight:
Ok, I know that maps are stuck in 16x16 pxl tiles. What if I have an entity bigger than that? Is it possible to have the collision and interaction span that whole space? If not through maped3, does someone have a hard-coded example I could look at?
Thanks much!
(and, it's probably long and involved if it's possible, but by-passing the 16x16 limitation? any examples for that?)

You can have entities of any size, with a hotspot of any size.
The trick is in designing your maps to accomodate really big entities.
Hopefully, someone will come along and explain this in better detail, but I'm a little busy at the moment. The short answer is 'Yes, you can have any size entity'.

Dear god that thread degenerates at the end. Full marks to Abalone for working out the search feature a few millena before most do, and then using it to help others! Also, the CHRmak tutorial may prove slightly useful, despite soon being redundant. I promise something tomorrow. :)

You know, I think this is the first evidence I've seen that someone's actually used the board-search feature! :o

Sweet, thanks. I knew it had SOME variable in the .mak file, but I couldn't find exactly what.

'To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death.'
Err... I've been revising today. So, another tomorrow.

Okay, I'm still having trouble here:
Here is my .mak file:
chr_version 5
in phunbaba.gif
out phunbaba.chr
hotspot_x = 0
hotspot_y = 0
hotspot_w = 82
hotspot_h = 82
frame_w 81
frame_h 81
frames_per_row 1
frame_rows 1
d_idle 0
u_idle 0
l_idle 0
r_idle 0
d_walk F0W10
u_walk F0W10
l_walk F0W10
r_walk F0W10
Phunbaba is a pic of everyone's favorite FF6 needle-flinging boss monster, and it's 82 pxls wide and tall. I have him set on Maped3 to an entity and he stands with his upper-left corner in square 19x19 (though that's not really important :P ) and he is supposed to call TalkToPhun() when he is interacted with. But now that I've made these changes to my code, you still can walk all over him except for the 16x16 square of his entity, and it doesn't call the function when I push the interact button.
Any ideas?

Try removing the ='s from the following lines:
hotspot_x = 0
hotspot_y = 0
hotspot_w = 82
hotspot_h = 82

Remember: to avoid nasty layering problems, your smallest obstruction (height-wise) will need to be at least as tall as (entity height - entity hotspot height).

Or try out the makmak beta, which will make your life easy and wonderful. Maybe.

in lore.png
out lore.chr
frame_w 90
frame_h 110
hotspot_x 4
hotspot_y 12
hotspot_w 32
hotspot_h 32

Why did you make the hotspot so small, blue?

It's 32x32. The 4/12 are its upper left corner coords.
