I don't know what format RPGMaker2003 uses for it's characters, but I do know one thing for certain. A sheet like that would never work in any RPGMaker unless maybe you would custom script how it reads each and every frame, and I doubt you'd do that.

All RPGMaker sprites are required to be in a format. I work with VX and the default format is like this:

Each 3x4 block of sprites is considered one Character and this is the default.

I also have a script that Allows me to make Animations into battle characters , but I'd then have to format every sprite I wanted to use in a set of animation boxes which is 5x2(up to)20 with each box being 192x192.

if you look at the RTP files for the sprite sheet in RM2k3 it will show you how to use them, then just edit them and fix them in paint or photoshop or some kind of picture editing software, to make it look like the other sheets. Its not that hard really.

That particular Regal sprite you found is a Battler, not a character. In order for it to work as you want it to, it has to be sectioned off in a Battler template, as such:

Each individual motion lies in one of the gray or brown boxes. Of course, it's going to take quite a bit of editing to make that a reality, given 2k3's system.

This is the normal sprite (Walking around on the world map) template. It's helped me rework a couple sprites I've tampered with.[/spoiler]
