Downloading and using characters and more, help

ok, so when I download a set of characters, I go to paint and edit out the one i need, then save it and make an event in the game with the graphic; but the graphic keeps the colored background, and when it moves it just scrolls through the other images. How do I fix this and actually make it look to where it is walking?
Also, I need help with animations.

And does anyone know of a good sprite maker, and an ultimate interior/exterior tileset?

Thanks in advance!
 

You have to import the characters, not just drop them in the Characters folder.  Hit F10 to open the resource manager, find the file, then click import.  You then Left-Click to set the transparent (the background color) and Right-Click to set the translucent (shadows).

If by ultimate interior/exterior tileset you mean one that has all the interior and exterior tilesets in one, the file is generally too large and locks the game up.

If you mean a tileset with all the exteriors and a separate tileset with all the interiors, then I believe there are some in the database.  Have you checked there?

As for animations, I can't do those very well, so I can't help you.

In the future, please put different requests in different threads.

Thanks for the help.

For some reason I can't get any of the database threads to load.
Why is this?

You mean the resource database on here?  I dunno, never heard of that before.

But didn't you just say to check a database?

Also, I still can't get the sprites to work right.
Exactly how big should the file be for it to work properly?

I meant I'd never heard of only the database not loading.

I think it doesn't matter the size of the sheet, as long as each frame of animation is one fourth the width and one fourth the height.
