Are there any programs that will let me take X number of individual image files and easily combine them into a single file with all the images automatically put together in a grid that I can then use as an iconset for RPG Maker (specifically MV)?

I don't think there's a third-party program for that. Even if it exists, there would be some sort of rules regarding each individual image you want to attach. The best way would be to use GIMP or Photoshop to make your own. Think that, if you want to work on your project you need to, you know, work on your project.

I've moved this thread to Program and Utility Discussion. Please be sure to post your threads in the correct forum next time. Thank you.


So, all the individual images are exactly the same size as a single tile, just individual instead of on a sheet?  I think a program could do this but I don't know of one.  Because of the way that RM works it's best to keep the iconset as small as possible anyway, so you may want to do it individually anyway.  Large iconsets slow things way down.

Ah, sorry. I did my best to guess where this thread should go...


Yeah, that's pretty much the size of it. To be honest, I probably won't actually need it for the project I'm working on, but the thought occurred to me, and it was a bit surprising that I couldn't find anything that would do this when I tried a search.

Yeah, when I think about it, it is pretty surprising.  I think I've come across something that would take an animated gif and turn it into a sprite sheet, but I can't think of anything that would do what you say.  It probably does exist somewhere.  Try looking for something that compiles sprite sheets, that's going to be your best bet.

Yanfly has an Icon Generator that does approximately this, i think? Plus you get the added bonus of making your own icons so that's a plus! :D

Yanfly Icon Generator can create icons, but you can't add Icons of your own in the generator. 


You have to edit the iconsheet afterward to use your owns icons.

Just beat the last of us 2 last night and starting jedi: fallen order right now, both use unreal engine & when I say i knew 80% of jedi's buttons right away because they were the same buttons as TLOU2 its ridiculous, even the same narrow hallway crawl and barely-made-it jump they do. Unreal Engine is just big budget RPG Maker the way they make games nearly identical at its core lol.
Can someone recommend some fun story-heavy RPGs to me? Coming up with good gameplay is a nightmare! I was thinking of making some gameplay platforming-based, but that doesn't work well in RPG form*. I also was thinking of removing battles, but that would be too much like OneShot. I don't even know how to make good puzzles!
one bad plugin combo later and one of my followers is moonwalking off the screen on his own... I didn't even more yet on the new map lol.
time for a new avatar :)
