What do you mean by "get rid of the background?"

You mean like, get rif of the words, and the magicy glow? or tell you how to make the background transperant?

Okay.....Im more of a 2k3 and XP guy.....but im pretty sure it still works the same.....


Never save a custom sprite sheet directy to your database/project/game/unit-thing

Save it to your, lets say desktop.

Go into your project, and Import a new resource.

Your desired Image/Spritesheet.

When you import it, as long as its not already existing in your project folder, it should pop up on your screen before you click "OK" to finalize the imported graphics.

On the pop up sheet, the background colour should be flashing.

If its not, then youll have to edit the design.

It will be a 256 color graphic, if its a compatible PNG. Im pretty sure the first colour, the one in the top left, is the default transperancy colur.

If you dont have a program to edit with, find and download iDraw. Its made especially for Rpgmakers.

I hope this has helped.

If you want the background to be transparent for rm2k3, do the following.

1.Make sure the file is 8bit, also known as 256colours. If not, see another tutorial.
2.Open up your RPGMaker, and look for the import button (it's a rectangle with two arrows around it, 7th from the right). It's near the top of the window by the way. Alternatively, you could hold CTRL and press I to bring it up.
3.Make sure the correct section is chosen (ex. if you are importing a charset, make sure charset is selected).
4.Click IMPORT, and then find & open the desired file in the 'popup open window'.
5.Another window should show up, this time you want to click the background, the colour you don't want to show up ingame.
6.If the colour is now flashing, click OK.

TA-DA-! The file should be ready to use in your game. If you got an error message, you may need to double check that the file is 256colours or that the size specifications are correct.
