RPG maker 2k3 won't import stuff made with Charas
« on: September 29, 2009, 06:57:37 PM »
I had a feeling I had an account here.

I made some stuff with that rather nice charset maker of yours, and put it all into a folder. I then opened that folder up with the Resource Manager, and tried to import Afro-Sci.png. I got the error "Invalid image size". It does the same thing with all my other PNGs made with Charas. The files are completely unmodified, all I did was make them with Charas, click "Download PNG" or something to that effect, and right-click the image and saved it.

I exported one of the RTP charsets to see if there were any blatant errors, and I found that RTP charsets have 8 character graphics per file. Am I supposed to arrange my Charas images into this configuration, and how should I do so (I have GIMP, but I haven't a clue how to use it)?

Try running as Administrator.  Make a habit of doing that when older programs don't work, it's usually the easiest solution.

Yes. It's pretty simple cut and pasting, really.

If it decides to randomly fail again, you probably need to convert it to 256 colors.
Just to let you know.
