Stupid question, can't get yanfly's weapon animation to work

[Kish]

I'm kinda new to RPG Maker, last time I've used it was like back in 2003 in the older versions and I decided to try MV to see what comes out of it.


I was just fooling around with MV, and downloaded yanfly's weapon animation plugin and I'm trying to get it to work. I've created the img/weapons folder


and dropped their weapons 2 sheet. First weapon I made was a rifle, and the rifle image is not seen in game. It's probably some minor stupid mistake,


but if someone could help me solve this that would be be great. I've done all the googling I can but still didn't manage to find an answer that works. I tried setting


the weapon ID, adding weapons motion etc. but nothing works.


I've added the rifle I created and the skill I'm trying to get it to work with. sorry if I'm a total ****** at this, last time I've used RPG maker I was like 12 or something.

Please give a link to the plugin website, so that we can check what is required for it and where the configurations etc are.


That said, the most common errors with plugins are


1) renaming the plugin file - the file needs to be named exactly how the plugin creator named it, most plugins will no longer work if they're renamed.


2) wrong settings in the plugin properties - can you give a screenshot of the plugin properties from the plugin manager? Yanfly usually gives options there to deactivate part or all of the plugin, and youmight have a wrong setting there


3) missing configuration in the database - can't tell because I don't know the plugin, that's one thing the link is needed for

Yeah, here it is:

1 - Didn't touch the file, no renames.


2 - I added a screenshot - is that what you mean?

Your problem is most likely your filename.


the notetag is <Weapon Image: filename> , and MV needs to follow networking rules for filenames. That means spaces inside filenames are forbidden.


Try renaming the picture files from "Rifle Base.png" to "Rifle_Base.png" and change your notetags accordingly.

Okay, I did it but the rifle still doesn't seem to show up.

You can close this thread, I wasn't able to fix this so I just added the weapon without the plugin.


Thank you very much

Hey I know this might be late but I tried open the sprite in Photoshop and then save as png again. (I made no change in the sprite though.) And tada! it's working. Just re-save it as png.
