I have one of those lying around...
Set the enemy's Misc Attribute 10 to 2 for a 2x2 enemy.

This isn't compatible with AutoGhost, though. It would be pretty cool if BB89 (or anyone else) could make one that uses the AutoGhost library.

CODE

global script BigEnemies
{
    void run()
    {
        while(true)
        {
            ExtendEnemies();
            Waitframe();
        }
    }
    
    void ExtendEnemies
    {
        npc enemy;
        
        for(int i=Screen->NumNPCs(); i>0; i--)
        {
            enemy=Screen->LoadNPC(i);
            
            if(enemy->Extend==0 && enemy->Attributes[10]!=0)
            {
                if(enemy->Attributes[10]==1)
                    enemy->Extend=1;
                else if(enemy->Attributes[10]==2)
                    enemy->Extend=2;
            }
        }
    }
}

Cool, do you mean that autoghost and this can't be in the same mod, or you cant use them both in the same screen? Thanks.

They both use misc. attribute 11 to determine whether they should handle enemies. Easy to fix, though:

CODE

const int IDX_EXTENDED=14;

global script BigEnemies
{
    void run()
    {
        while(true)
        {
            ExtendEnemies();
            Waitframe();
        }
    }
    
    void ExtendEnemies()
    {
        npc enemy;
        
        for(int i=Screen->NumNPCs(); i>0; i--)
        {
            enemy=Screen->LoadNPC(i);
            
            if(enemy->Misc[IDX_EXTENDED]==1)
                continue;
            
            if(enemy->Extend==0 && enemy->Attributes[10]!=0 && enemy->Attributes[11]==0)
            {
                if(enemy->Attributes[10]==1)
                    enemy->Extend=1;
                else if(enemy->Attributes[10]==2)
                    enemy->Extend=2;
                enemy->Misc[IDX_EXTENDED]=1;
            }
        }
    }
}

An AutoGhost enemy also has misc. attribute 12 set. This one only extends the enemy if it isn't, so they won't get confused.
I also made it mark which enemies have already been extended, which should make it faster.
