the problem still happens it keeps on saying preview not available and when i import it and look at it nothing is there

ok go to the site again do your character again press on the yellow tab under your character
or save image then try typing $ next to the image or what ever the file name is btw you can also try
!$ instead of $ so you get for example
$character.png
!$character.png
or whatever

yea it worked so does that change anything?

Wit the sprite you downloaded, if you go to look at it in an image editor (not RMVX), is it there?

He means are you able to open and view the sprite in MS Paint or anything like that?

Also, are you clicking the button below your sprite to download it, or are you clicking "Save Picture As" to download it?

Yeah, that's what I was getting it. Pressing Save Picture As ... will download an empty sprite, thereby useless -  you have to press the button to download it. If you could open it in an image editor it would mean that you downloaded the sprite correctly and it was a problem with RMVX. Otherwise, you just need to press the actual download button and everything should be fine.

oh so do you know what the problem is?

Woot! I got it to work some how... Not sure how.

Firsts posts, i feel, should always be positive, so...

Damn  this thing rocks. I just upgraded from RPG Xp to VX and this thing saved my life lol

Ok, so i made the image i wanted and saved it in my Character files....
Then when i go into the char files its nothing...
Any ideas?
*BTW*

Thanks,

It's Japanese. Use Google's website translator. I have no clue what you're talking about with your character problem. Grammar rocks. Though, as it seems you have no clue how to save anything. Funny thing is, you don't actually need to name your character sheets anything unless it's a single character. (Which is a 3x4 sheet, 96x128 pixels, which is one character). If you import single character sheets, make sure their file names begin with "$". Try using the import button instead of dragging and dropping, or saving, your resources into the folders sometime. I know that every once in a while it wouldn't take if you just put it in the folder. It was odd, but shit happens.

As of 7/16, The character sprite generator was updated with at least 50 new parts, mostly hair, but a few other things as well.

For those that don't explore the site, there is a section called, when translated by google, "Dot Painting presents", that's updated every month.  This .zip file contains what has been released so far.  http://www.mediafire.com/?fibcglgnlcn
<---latest update.

I didn't see that section you're refering to anywhere, and I was viewing the site translated by google. I looked up and down the page a couple times, and even used the word finder to locate it, and it didn't find those words on the page.

Oh, how utterly confusing that a site may have changed in 6 months.


This is when he posted that:




This happens to be today's date:

It's called "Get a dot painting" now.

Awesome finds my friend!

One question lurks thoa...

How do you make it to where you can use XP sprites on VX?

Look here.

Ok, so I'm kinda new to the whole sprite creation thing. Whenever I make a sprite and upload it into RPG Maker VX and select it as the sprite to use as its animation it only will display a piece of one of the walking animations (I.E. It will only show the top left corner where the sprites head is when selected) instead of the whole piece and properly moving. Any explanations?

P.S. I tried the renaming the file with a !$ after it and it still didn't work.

not after, before it.

Like: $filename
