Tells you where to the program and how to use it.

okay, I think the color problem is taken care of, but now it says there's a problem with the bitmap size, "bitmap size is irregular". what do I do about that?

[coasterkrazy]

Well, what size is the bitmap you're using? I mean, is it a spritesheet of a bunch of battle animations? If that's the case, it's not gonna work because you need to lay them out on a template.

Here are some - http://charas-project.net/resources.php?wa=0&lang=en&area=Battle_animations&howmany=10&fsearch=template

I'd reccomend using the bottommost one. Now, there are two different sizes of battle animation bitmaps: small and large. When you import in RM, make sure you're importing with the right one (I believe they are under the folders "Battle" and "Battle 2" or something like that). If it doesn't work in one, it should work in the other one. When the image pops up on screen, click the background color and make sure it's flashing because that will be the transparent color. I hope this helped.

EDIT: And about the charsets, I don't know where any are, but I'm sure there are some out on the web somewhere.

EDIT 2: That link probably won't work because of the break at the end. Just search template in the complete resources and go under battle animations to find them.

how do I change the normal attack animations? if you've ever played golden sun, you know how I need to make it look when they use a physical attack [attack normally with the attack command] do you know how I can change that?

You mean you want the character to move up to the enemy and attack instead of attacking the air in front of them? In the Items tab of the database, select a weapon, and then click the "Set" button and a new window will pop up.  At the top of the window, there should be an option that says "Movement Before Attack". Change it to Move To Target.
Do that for all the weapons you need.

yes, but i also need to get the in-battle character sets to work, how do I change those?
