Does anybody know how to add terranigma sprites, backgrounds, misc objects etc. to RPG MAKER VX, because when I do, it comes up with a little red dot next to it (the other sprite sheets are already Blue-dotted.)
I need to know how to add sprites so i can make the game. I have already got everything else....

Importing sprites into RPGMakerVX is a tricky business. First off the standard grid is 4x2 sets of 3x4 characters. If you want to have a sprite-set for just one character you must preface the name of the spriteset with a $.

For example:



This is a standard RPGMakerVX spritesheet.



This is a spritesheet that I created with an online tool named $Jason.

Look at the first spritesheet, now back to mine. Now back to the first. Now back to mine. Sadly the first isn't mine. But it can be.

Sorry, I'll stop that now.

Some basic pointers is that not all sprites have to be that size, but the program will automatically chop whatever you have into a 3x4 grid when you name it with a $ and a 12x8 grid when you don't. That's a good starting point.

Also you have to carefully consider the transparency colors when you import the sprites.

If this didn't help, post up a printscreen of the issue and I'll see if I can help.
