How do I get stuff from dlc into the actual VX Ace files to use in games without having to import them? I bought a lot of RMVXA resources from Steam and trying to figure out how to get them where they need to go. Never done this before and I don't want to mess something up.
Need help with dlc

The easiest way is if you are running Ace through Steam, to go into the Resource Manager. On the right there will be a DLC button. Click it and it will be easy to go from there.
-
Ah. So I do have to import it manually just into that project then?
-
Yes, any resources aside from the RTP (what comes with Ace) have to be imported into each new project. If you had everything from all tilesets in there, the file size would be huge. So you put what you need in there as you need it.

I'll have to fiddle around with it some. Only done the Rings of Urdrai tutorial so far and got lost on the tutorial town tutorial and am still learning the software. I need better tutorials.
I wonder if I might be able to find a mentor. A master of VX Ace? -
specific mentors do not exist, but ask on this forum and you get answers.
You can also follow the link in my signature to the basic tutorials if the ones you're currently using are not to your liking - from the naming I'm guessing you're not using the official tutorials. -
The one you linked from Kelsper, is Ring of Urdrai. That's the one I did.
I tried the official tutorials but couldn't get the river set up the way it was in the tutorial. -
you mean the river tutorial about adding depth?
EditL
If it is, here is a topic I answered related to that http://forums.rpgmakerweb.com/index.php?/topic/27859-problem-placing-tiles-to-create-depth-effect-to-a-river/ -
Where you need to do the deep water and then use shallow water around the edges? Yeah. That's the one. Every time I tried using shallow water, it would do a ring of grass around it, destroying the river.

you don't start with the river, you start with the Grass, sand, or Snow around the river, Fill the screen with one then look at the first link i posted above.
