Help Importing Tilesets from Forum

Hi. I'm new to the RPG maker scene. I need help importing tiles from the forums as even after I import them they don't show up in the database when selecting tiles. Do I need to edit in Gimp or Photoshop? If already answered please point me to the right thread. Thanks!

Is the image a PNG file?

Is it 768x768 (if it's not an A tile)?

Do you mean they're not showing up when you are adding images to the tileset slots in the Tilesets tab?

Without more information about what you've done, I can only offer some guesses ...

- you have to save the resource in the img/tilesets folder of your project, not the folder where you have RPG Maker installed
- as said above, image should be saved as .png file
- there should not be any spaces or non-Latin characters in the file name

If you're doing all of the above correctly, please provide a link to the thread where you obtained the resource and make it clear which one you're trying to use, then open your project folder and show us a screenshot of the img/tilesets folder, with the specific image highlighted.

So like Ilkitea's https://forums.rpgmakerweb.com/inde...-tiles-updated-14-03-2017-closet-edits.60876/
or Avy's https://forums.rpgmakerweb.com/index.php?threads/avys-mv-stuff.53317/ tiles. I copy it, import it with the resource manager, but then when I try to actually make a tileset in the database, it doesn't show up.

Edit: Wait it was the illegal characters in the file name :D I feel really dumb now, thanks Shaz.

As Shaz requested, can you please show a screenshot of the folder you are saving the resources in? Explain HOW you import them? We can't know what has gone wrong without more information.

RMMV needs full tilesheets, and a lot of the tiles made available here on the forum are only partial.
In those cases you need to use an image program like GIMP or photoshop to create the tilesheets before they can be imported into the engine and used in the tileset definition.

Thanks, everyone, I've figured out what I was doing wrong. I appreciate your help!
