    Hi there, I have run into yet another problem. This one is on the matter of how I am going to get...

    This( the sprite looks weird because I water marked it.. but for some reason it only stayed on some parts of the sprite)



    Can this be done? The sprite sheet is 403 by 300. I already tried the $ method.

    Your sprite has 4 columns. Ace only uses 3. Apart from the glitchy watermarking, I don't see any differences between ANY of the columns. But if it's formatted for XP, just delete the first column.


    And yes, add the $ to the start of the filename.

    Are you trying to make a sprite for RMXP?


    Because for Ace, a single sprite has 3 animations in 4 directions, not 4 animations like XP had.


    And "the $ method" is a very specific case that helps for a very specific change, it isn't a magic solution for everything: without $, Ace expects to get 4x2 spritesets in a single file, like the actor sheets. With $, Ace expects to get a single spriteset from the file.


    But the $ and ! codes do not change the fact that a spriteset for Ace is 3x4 pictures, not 4x4 like you did...

    This is for Ace, so I should delete one column?

    Yes, I already said to do that ;)

    I did that and it works great. I asked the above, because you put "But if it's formatted for XP, just delete the first column." I just guessed you meant Ace, but that last line did cause a little confusion with what was said above it.

    Thanks

    No, images with 4 columns are usually formatted for XP, and the first and third columns are exactly the same. I assumed the original image wasn't formatted for Ace, because it's got too many columns. I wasn't sure if the WAS formatted for XP because, as I said, I couldn't see any difference between ANY of the columns. So my "IF it's formatted for XP" was a safety check, indicating I KNEW it would be safe to delete the first one if the sprite was originally an XP sprite. If it wasn't, there's no guarantee the first column was the one that could be safely deleted.
