monsters as party memebers

Hello  all here :)

i am at the mmoment busy with a game, and for that  i want some characters for.  now that i have the zombie survival dlc,  i am  trying to make the zombie monster sprites as character sprites, but i somehow  cant  do it and when i google it  i could not find anything that helped me much.

is it possible to have these sprites as hero sprites or  can they only be enemies?

I think you're confusing sprites and battler pictures.


Sprites are always sheets of 3x4 pictures (single sprite) or 12x8 pictures (regular 8-sprite-sheet).


Battler pictures are always single picture files.


If you have a battler picture, you cannot use that as a sprite - the only thing possible is to have someone make a sprite that looks like the battler picture.

What is causing the problem? 

Could you: Open an image editing software (Photoshop, GIMP, ETC..), open a character set and the zombie set in two windows. Cut out a character you will not be using, and paste the zombie sheet in place of the cut-out? 

There might be another method, but I am unsure what is presenting the problem.

You should be able to do so easily. I don't know why it isn't working for you.
You are trying to use the actual sprites, not the battlers, right?

I have sprites of zombie monsters, the came with the DLC  but when i try to use those sprites  and battler pictures for heroes ( making new heroes in the database)  they do not show up as options, just the regular ones from the  vx ace program .

I think you still need to import the sprites into your game. Tools->Resource Manager->Characters->DLC. Then find the folder they are in and add them to the game. Then you should be able to select them.

Thanks that was indeed what i needed to do :) i though the game had auto loaded them :)
