ok so i got rpg maker of a very very nice person and i just need to know:

how do you import sprites from paint?
how do you import maps from paint?
how do i make it so you walk to a different area of the map?
how do i change the map selection i.e change from plain to snow?

[move]if i ever finish this and decide to realise it to the public helpers will be credited[/move]

my suggestion is to read Fundamentals by Flarester.  You'll find it in the Tutorials/FAQs thread.

snuffles asked:
how do you import sprites from paint?
how do you import maps from paint?

heres my answers from having knowledge of making my own game:
sprites can be taken from paint by left clicking, then dragging, make the square
until you got all of the sprites that you want. Now right click inside of the square and go down to copy. open up a new folder called "my game" go in there and make a new bitmap and call it whatever you want. Paste your sprite in there.

but how do i put them, heres what i have.

the sprites i want, every position.
on a paint file.

could you do step by step, this is my first time and i don't really understand.

also can anyone answer these

how do i make it so you walk to a different area of the map?

i red the faqs but i still don't understand.

thanks.

your best chance to make a game is to tell us what program maker your using, then we can find a tutorial for it which'll tell you everything you need to know about making your game :)

rpg maker xp, i looked at the tutorial but i really don't understand it.

oh i thought it was through some other one, sorry i dont program with rpg maker, i may into the future.

[/quote] you are in luck for the different areas of the map question, ok first go to the event layer(its one of the options on the bar at the top) and double click on the ground where you want the entrance to the next area to be and click on the <> on the first page select "teleport" then on the drop down menu select the next area/map to enterwhen stepping on that space. I hope I helped you good luck in your game!

thanks! i got it, is there a way to put it so i don't have to push the main button to teleport?

also, is there a way i can play this without doing test play?

Ask Tails about the non test play thing but to not have to press the main button, change the event trigger to hero touch.

ok thanks!

No problem! I once didn't know anything about RMXp/2K3 ex. and I got tons of help I'm just repaying the favours.

do you know how to import sprites?

On the bar at the top it should have something to click called resource manager in that you go down the list to the thing want to import (in your case character sheets) then select "import" go to the file that your sprites are held in and then upload them into your game.
I hope you understood that.

thanks!
