I've got a problem. I've found some really great HGSS tilesets for use in one of my games, but RMXP doesn't see them. I tried putting them in the tileset folder and hitting import in RMXP, but that didn't work. What else could I do to make them visible? Apparently I'm the only one with this problem, as I haven't seen any other threads related to this at all.
 

Neo-Spriteman

or goloog. that works too.

Once you import them, make sure to edit them on the Database.

Spriter's Resources only provide sprite sheets. None of their sprites are ever animated. This can do well for some people, but it seems the page there has their things going in parts, so that might be pretty annoying to manually compile yourself...

Hmm, that's quite a conundrum ~

Have you checked the tiles' passages?

Spoiler:


Since you're on Test Play, you can also pass over any tile and wild encounter by holding the Ctrl Key. I know this won't fix your solution, but if you're at a loss and you absolutely need to continue, then that'll do fine.

Not sure what else can cause this, mate. o.O I wouldn't think you're tampering with the default stuff, so maybe a screenshot of the area in question? (You can tell us which parts are inaccessible to you).

Can anyone explain how to insert animated tiles into a tileset? I'm confused. D: It's not an autotile, just a regular one.

You can't insert animated tiles into a tileset, you'd either have to put it into an autotile, or a charset and animate it through a move route.

I don't how to display the sprites of the sprites of the 3 Hoenn Starters. I'm trying to make them as the starters for my game, but I dunno how to make them display when I run the game, simultaneously with the text.

Also, I'm getting and exception error everytime I make a transition to a different map. I'm not sure what it means or how to fix it as well.

So you want the over world sprites to show?? or do you want the picture to come up of them when you click the poke-ball for e.g?

Also that error you are getting is because.. you don't have a existing character when you play test.. you need to play as someone when walking through transfer events for it to transfer you to somewhere else otherwise you will keep getting this error...

The number of Essentials-related questions in this thread recently is ridiculous. Can a mod change this thread's name to "General game making help (no Essentials questions)" or something?

What exactly do you want to do, though? What you said is quite vague, and there are probably several ways to do what you want depending on what exactly that is.

Ok, i have a good idea of how to use this, but i have a question: Does anyone have bases for the RPGXP Sprites? So I can make my own in the RPGXP style?

Agreed, thats why i tend to avoid this thread. unlikely to be able to answer the flood of essential questions.
