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.

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
