[Support] I figured it out (Character sprite generator problem)

So I just finished experimenting and I found a way to get your sprite generated characters from http://www.famitsu.com/freegame/tool/chibi/index1.html into the game.

1. Export one pic with default actors.
2. Open it with paint.
3. Open your image of your generated sprite.
4. Cut the whole image out.
5. Paste it unto the default actor, But It has to be over any other character.
6. Now use it in your game.

Actually, you have no need to replace default actors with these sprites to use them.

What you do is:
> Save them with a $ sign in front of their name.
> Import them into via the resource manager.
> You can now use your custom sprite and the original actors.


Saving it with a $ sign before the name lets RPG Maker know that your sprite is for only one character rather than a set.

Example below, copy below image into your project and you'll be able to see how it works.

Yeah I knew that, But I saw that there's still people having trouble even if they put $ in front of a character set.

The only other reason people could be having troubles is if their picture file was not a .png file.

Sprite generators save that sprite as .png by default but whenever someone is modifying the sprite in MS Paint or photoshop they usually end up saving it as a jpeg file without realising it, and that is where I suspect most of the problems come from.

I see, Thanks for the help! You've really helped me out here!
