Need help with importing sprites

[FireFistAceG]

So I made recolored Damaged sprites for two of my actors. I tried to import it with $ and/or ! but it doesn't fit. This is my first time importing something I made. 


What am I doing wrong and how do I fix it?

since you are using a full sprite sheet you don't have to put a $ infront of its name.

Your sprite is too small I think. RPG Maker MV has bigger resolutions than ace or previous versions, that's why ur sprites will look weird or won't be accepted.


My Recommendation:


1. Open the character generation tool inside your project editor (the small actor sprite icon)


2. Export the damaged sprite to a location where you can find and edit it.


3. Open the exported damaged sprite in an image editor program (gimp, photoshop)


4. Insert your sprite as a new layer and scale it to the right size. Take the exported file as a template


5. Delete the template so that only your sprite is left


6. Export the image to [Game Folder] / img / characters


Hope I could help you mate!

I tried it without the $ but it only does half of the character(Included picture)

Try this.

No problem

All sprites need to follow the same basic structure of 3x4 equal-sized elements (or 12x8 in case of a full spritesheet).


Your original picture did not follow that structure, so the engine selected a incomplete part of the sprite.
