Adjust Character Image

Hello! I am very new to RPG Maker. Trying to figure out how I adjust the character image size in my event.





Thank you!

That spritesheet is not formatted for use in MZ, unless you have a plugin. And plugins cannot change what you see in the editor or how you select characters.

The name may also be wrong - ! means to align the character with the grid, rather than a few pixels higher, and is normally used for inanimate objects like doors and chests, but not for actors or NPCs. $ means the spritesheet is only meant to have one character rather than 8. Without a $, it is expecting 12 columns and 8 rows of sprites.

Whatever plugin you're using will tell you how your image should be named, but if you have something other than 3x4 with a $ in the name, or 12x8 with no $ in the name, it is just not going to look right in the editor.

What plugin are you using? Please give a link.

I've used the same plugin.

Try changing your spritesheet name to the following and it might work for you (assuming your spritesheet is the right format and all).
($dollar sign instead of !)

Changing the ! to $ fixed it. Thanks!

Thanks for the reply! @dm604 response fixed it. Galvs Character frames plugin.

MV Character Frames + CF Step SE

FEATURES Enables charactersets to use more than the standard 3 frames by adding text to the filenames. These frames will show in 1-2-3-4-5-6-1-2-3-4-5-6 order, instead of the standard 1-2-3-2-1 ord…
