    Does anyone know how to use the large monster sprites that come with RTP and other graphics packs? Everytime I try to create an event with one, it only shows a portion of the sprite. What am I doing wrong?

    example:

    Normal-sized sprite:



    Large Sprite (This is what I want to use):



    This is what is displayed when I try to use the large one on any map:

    On the map in the editor they allways show of as the last pic. Make a test play and everything should be fine. :) (\s/)

    Awesome, thanks! :)

    On a side note-where are the sprites located, file-wise? I'd like to try recoloring some of them.

    It depends on where you installed the VX Ace RTP.

    The default for my computer was :

    C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Enterbrain\RGSS3\RPGVXAce

    The sprites will be located under Graphics\Characters

    If you have changed the installation directory, you will need to look for that directory.

    DON'T color them in the default RTP - that will only cause chaos.


    Open the resource manager in the editor, select the sprite to recolor, export it, recolor it and then reimport it into the project.


    Changing the RTP will not only recolor them for all your game, but whenever you distribute your game without RTP (for smaller size) and the player uses its own RTP, your sprite recolors will vanish

    True enough. One should not edit and save sprites or any other files directly in the RTP folder.

    I merely pointed out where to find the files since that was what was asked. Your way will cause less mess, of course, Andar.

    Sometimes it's better to think ahead and prevent the newby from getting into problems instead of just providing a literal answer to a question ;-)

    Lol, I was going to make copies. No need to change the originals. :)

    And I can't seem to find the folder you mentioned. My RPGVXAce folder only contains these subdirectories: drm, Generator, SampleMap, and VLGothic.

    That is the main program folder for VX Ace. The RTP is, by default, installed elsewhere.

    If you did not change the default folder of which the RTP installed to, it will be located in :

    C:\Program Files(x86)\Common Files\...

    If you still can't find it, try searching your computer for something like '!$Gate1.png' without the inverted commas. That is one of the RTP image files.

    Awesome, found it. Thanks a lot! :)
