how do i put custom images for enemies, and get them to show

[kinglogan]

I am using an image for an enemy, but it wont show up on the game. I am using png. format, and am putting it in the enemy and sv enemy folders

What do you mean it "won't show up on the game"?


As long as it's in the enemy and sv_enemy folders, that should be all you need.


Are you saying you can't select it when you attempt to give your enemy a sprite?


Steps are:


- create image and put in correct folders


- create enemy and set enemy's sprite


- create troop and add enemy to troop


- call troop in battle, either via map properties for random enemies, or Battle Processing for an event trigger


At which stage are things not working?

 

[kinglogan]

when i go on the database and try to select the enemy image nothing shows up when i choose the image

And you're sure you put it in the correct folders?


Could you please save & close your game, then go back in and see if it is there? There have been instances when the editor would not recognize new resources straight away. This has been logged for fixing.

The images need to go into the project's img folder, NOT into the new game img folder...

im putting it in the project img folder

 

[Shaz]

did you try what I said? You haven't indicated yet whether it worked.

 

[kinglogan]

i tried the solution and it did not work

Countless other people have done this so it's doubtful it's a bug.  Send a screenshot or two because it is most likely operator error.  Or incorrect image types.

But other people HAVE had issues with new resources not being able to be selected. I have been able to duplicate it.

I'm also having this problem. I went into the files and made it so it should be located right in between "Bat" and "Assassin", but it isn't there. I tried saving and quitting out of the software, which is what I usually need to do when putting something new into any of my project's folders, but it didn't work. Has anyone found a fix?

That said, have you copied the picture into the correct enemy folder? Or better, copy it into both?

There is one folder for front view enemies and one folder for sideview enemies, copying a picture in only one of them will not make the picture available if the other battleview is activated
