Why is RPGM2003 the standard and not XP?

Irony is that RM2K and 2K3 do exactly that when you play a game. [/B]

Yes, it doubles the size. But so does XP, so you have to double it then it's doubled in play, so it's quadrupled. Of course, I may be wrong about the minimum size of XP since I rarely use it so w/e.

I'm fairly certain RMXP does not double the size of sprites, which is where it gets the higher level of detail on default resolution, and why double-sizing sprites makes them identical to how they would appear in RM2K3.

Lemme check... yep, that's how it works.

Hmmm. I did not know that. I may use XP, but Ive already gotten so much done in 2K3 itd seem a waste.

So i got, as a holiday gift, a Graphics Tablet...pressure sensitive and crap.

I Finally have begun to master its use. Pen drawing is akward at first, looking at a screen, rather than a paper.

Anyhow, Ive been using it with Spritesets I had made with a mouse.

Im loving the improvment in quality.
"How does this relate to the thread?" You may ask...

Well, for the few spriters that use a tablet that read this, The pressure sensitive coloring I guess wouldnt work with a 256 palette. It could work to a very limited extent, but not with the same results.

[Osmose]

It'd work just as well as 256 does with gradients. That is, very badly if there's more than two gradients.

Thanks for the replies. I've learned quite a bit.
