Making my own sprites?

I want to create my own characters and faces and I'm not a big fan of the basic character creator. Is there an in-depth creator where I can paint every pixel or can I upload a paint file on a default background, and if so, where can I get this dark blue/ light blue 4x4 pixel base?

That dark/light blue back is not important, it's just the makers way to tell you where it's transparent.

Just use Paint, Gimp, or any other program you're comfortable with and be careful to make the sheets with the right relations:

if you want one sheet(like the big monster sheets) it's (3 x character width) x (4 x character height)

if you want to have 8 on one sheet like in the actor sheets it's (4 x 3 x character width) x (2 x 4 x character height)

I'll probably use paint but would I just leave the back white? How will the game know I want certain parts transparent, and what if there's white in my character?

If there is white in the sprite, then you shouldn't use white as a background. Pick a customized color as your transparency background so you won't have to worry about accidentally getting it messed up.

Will it let me tell it which color is the transparent one? Or will it just assume?

just use the resource manager to import the image, it will ask you for the transparent color(just click in your image) ^^

I actually haven't gotten that far but I just wanted to know if it was possible. Thank you.

You can also set the transparency using image editing software (besides paint)

I don't know any other editing software? And if paint works, I'm perfectly fine using it since it can generally make very small pixels.

All image editing program can do pixel-work. GIMP, Photoshop and even Paint.Net all allow you to draw pixel per pixel. GIMP and Paint.Net are free, Photoshop isn't. Go look them up on google and find some tutorials for them.

Either way, yes you can import custom sprites into Ace.
