help importing sprite sheet as tileset

[fahyda]

hi, I have a sprite sheet from a game I have played called corpse party. I need to know how to import it so that I can use it.

I don't think it is a great idea to use someone else's sprites.

But the way you import character sprites, can be done manually, by placing the file into: your project folder/ graphics/ characters

Make sure the formatting fits the RM program you are using. If it is a single character, the file must have a $ sign in front of the file name.

I don't know anything about Corpse Party, but generally speaking, if you want to use a graphic as a tile, you need to put it in a 512 by 512 PNG file and place it in the Graphics>Tiles portion of your game folder. Then you need to include that file in a tileset you are using.

Okay, did this get edited? I coulda sworn you wanted it as a tile. even tho it seemed strange. My bad.

(oh it was in the topic title)

You're not talking about a ripped resource from a commercial game, are you?

but that's a commercial game D:

i understand corspe party is a commental game but im making a fan game. im not saying their mine and i do understand it is wrong. But all ive wanted to do is make a fan game for a youtuber or more than one youtuber. i am not going to say their mine because that is just wrong. if you dont agree with what i believe in thats fine but please dont rub it in my face because of that.

fahyda, I think people just misunderstood your intent...

After all, you didn't state it was for a fan game in the main post.

So I think they were trying to be helpful and guiding with their posts as opposed to rubbing it in your face...

Anyways, I don't know how to rip the sprites out of other games, I myself am rather new to the RPG Maker series, but I do hope I cleared up any possible communication issues between yourself and others ^u^

I'd just hate to see unnecessary quarrels in such a good community such as this one. (\('^')/)

The technical part is easy, but I don't know how the sprites for this game are stored in the file (and you obviously can't upload it to show either...).

A standard sprite sheet for RPG Maker is made of 4 rows (looking down / looking left / looking right / looking up) each with 3 columns for the walking animation to be displayed.

Size is not an issue, as long as you respect the ratio 4 rows/3 colums.

You can find several tutorials about making a sprite sheet so you can adapt your resource with an image editing program to get it displayed correctly.

I didn't know VX Ace only used 3 columns o3o

Why 3 instead of 4, though?

Well, I guess we wouldn't exactly know XD But still, whatevs.

Why 3 instead of 4, though?

because in the case of XP, two of the columns (for standing middle) were identical and could be handled by different animation sequence.
So instead of 1-2-3-4-1-2-3-4, Ace goes 1-2-3-2-1-2-3-2

this is the sprite sheet i plan to use. its from the spriters resource. i tried puting it in tilesets but that didnt work because it didnt show. i tried the 2nd way which was to rename it to Inside_D but that didnt work either for some reason.

 

[Kidincred]

I kinda came up with that myself, Andar, but there's one thing I had in mind.

What if a creature's movement looked more fluid with 4 separate sprites as opposed to one sprite repeating.

Say, like, a slime hopping o3o

We do not provide support for people using ripped resources. If you want to make a fan game, find sprites based on the original, not ripped from it. Closing.


I don't get it - you know it's wrong, and you say you know it's wrong, but you're still asking us to help you ... go figure.
