Title: Help with image sizes etc
Post by: Eetio on August 19, 2010, 12:20:49 AM

I made a few battle sprites and chars using this webby and for some it says image size is wrong or the colours are. Now before you say adjust them to X on X, wheneer I open them they are very distorted and completely loose the original look... Any help? :P
EDIT: for RPG maker 2003 ;)
EDIT: I could post the images here I guess and someone could help me out with them maybe?

The distorted and loose look is because you saved them as JPEG. JPEG does that to images every time.

The colour depth limit of rpgm2k3 is 256 colours. The size limit of battlechars are 144x 384.

Use a tool such as IrfanView that can easily be used to insert your desired colour depth and also the size.

What size for the character set?

Charsets are 288x 256. I think we have all this written in a thread somewhere.

One charset is 8 different "sets of characters". There are 2 rows an upper and a lower. 4 sets on the top row and 4 on the bottom row. Each one has a limit of 72x128. (72 times 4 = 288), (128 times 2 = 256)
