Changing Battle Sprites?

I know this isn't really on topic, but how do you create a Character sprite? I create them and put it in my folder. But when I try to put it in the Game I can't because of Colour Depth, I've red other posts and tried everything! http://charas-project.net/. And its the same with Face's and Battle Sprites!

I'm stocked man'

P.S I'm a Dunce, how do you set an Avata.

P.S I'm a Dunce, how do you set an Avata.

if your referring to a zelaron avatar, then here's whatcha do:

go up to the top of this page where it says: User CP
Click on it.
then on the left side of the page there is a column and in it, it says "edit avatar"... click on it.
Lastly either upload your own image, or tpe in the url of one already on the internet. click save changes and your done!

You've got to have 10 posts first though.

Blue, would I be wrong in saying that there used to be a little thread that dealt with common problems like the picture COLOURS not working?

If so, where did it get to?

It was the RM2k3 FAQ section, which I stickied back when I was a moderator, and then unstuck for some reason I can't recall at the moment.

I'm still not entirely sure why the rest of my stickied threads are still there though, I can't really enforce the 'rules' anymore and I can't edit my posts in either sticky.

It's not a huge deal though, no one ever read them anyway

That's not true...I read them a couple of times.

I think we should petition to make you Moderator of the RM2K3 section again.

You know how thingies are mods of JUST the Dragoon section? We want you back!!

I really didn't have much to moderate except a few thread splits and a bunch of double/triple/octuple posts that I had to combine/erase, though

i agree w/ lenny, even though i've only been here a short time, i still think that you should still be a moderator

Invalid Color Depth = Open it in MSPaint (or whatever you use), save as a 256 color bitmap, NOT a 24-bit bitmap. (Change the 'Save as type' dropdown menu right below where you put in the filename)

Umm Backtracking a bit, BlueCube how do you save it has a 256 color bitmap?
and by MSPaint i hope you mean Microsoft Paint cause thats all i have

Microsoft Paint = mspaint.exe. Yeah, I use MSPaint all the time.

Open up your file in MSPaint

File -> Save As

Change the 'Save as type' dropdown menu right below where you put in the filename to "256 Color Bitmap"

Import it into RPGMaker as usual

ok thanx

K problem, now it says "Invalid Image Size" how do i know what size to make it? i uploaded the BattleChar set that's giving me this trouble.

EDIT: damn it didn't work

BattleCharsets have to be 144x384
