New to RPG Maker, Issue with Custom Enemies, Not Sure if User Error or Bug

[Ajido]

I had a PNG file I put in ProjectName\img\enemies, opened the Database, went to Enemies, double clicked Image: and saw mine listed there, no problems. I created a Troop using this custom enemy, play tested it and it worked fine. I noticed the enemy was larger than I wanted so I went into Photoshop to toy around with the size, I deleted the old image and replaced it with the new, smaller one (Which had the same filename).

So I saw the new smaller enemy in the database, deleted the old enemy and troop, and created this new one. It seemed to work fine, but when I went to play test I got an error in the game once the battle began, unfortunately I'm an idiot and don't remember exactly what it said, but I recall it saying something about not being able to find something's height? And then it closed. After closing, I could no longer find my custom image in the Enemy list. Even the old one that worked fine but was too large doesn't show up.

Any thoughts on what happened and how to remedy this?

Edit: I'm an idiot and this is user error. I forgot that I switch to SV battle and didn't move/copy the image to the sv_enemies folder. Please delete this post/archive it or something so it doesn't take up space, sorry!

By any chance did you save the game you were play testing? You'll want to start a new game, don't load up a save.

Past RPG Makers would save the current state of the project whenever you save a game when playtesting, so continuing wouldn't be playing the updated game. I would imagine MV works the same way as far as that goes.
