Grr... I wrote a nice big (and fun/funny) rant, and then my ISP jipped me.
In short, I said:
1. Use iDraw for anything image related, as long as you need/can handle 256 colors.
2. Convert images to XYZ format. It's easy, and makes you seem more professional. Not only that, but it saves a lot of space.
RPG Maker was designed to use them, so... Use them! ^_^
3. Hate Alex and Zack like the default hero RTP scum they are.
Thank you for reading, and may I just say: "Good Morning Everybody!" ^_^
