[altariaking]

if you actually read the rest of the tutorial you would know that already.

Use Irfanview, decrease color depth to 16 colors. Or at least I think so.

Anyway, unbelievable tut. One can use the same methods for editing the Pokemon FireRed logos as well, I learned how to do that by following the same steps as the Charizard.

HELP!!

I followed the sprite tutorial exactly, but after putting in the sprite the screen around the sprite had lots of white dots in it. Does anyone know what is causing this, or how to fix it?

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank You.

About those dots on images.

I followed the sprite tutorial exactly, but after putting in the sprite the screen around the sprite had lots of white dots in it. Does anyone know what is causing this, or how to fix it?

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank You.

Those white dots are caused by the Floyd-Steinberg dithering in Irfanview I think. Try unticking the "Use Floyd-Steinberg dithering" box in Irfanview when you reduce your images BPP from 8 to 4.

You know this one: (ASCII Drawing)

Spoiler:

Colors:
O 256 Colors (8 BPP)
O 16 Colors (4 BPP)
O 2 Colors (black/white) (1 BPP)
O Custom: |15| (2-256 colors)

[ ] Use Floyd-Steinberg dithering <-- Uncheck this one!
[ ] Make grayscale image

| OK | | Cancel |​

That should get rid of those dots! :)

LOL. Nice tut, but I get this:

EDIT: I fixed it. BUT--I LOL'd at the fact that Illex Forest is burning down. But it does match my story but still, xD

 

[yugimon121]

[bobimiguel]

Having some problems adding the background...

It is supposed to look like this..

But ends up like this...

Whenever I try to add the tileset and tilemap it doesn't say anything about changing the pointer, even after I find the offset in FSF... I can't seem to figure out the problem :/

 

[6ryan4]

How can I change the little fireballs without changing the entire background?

 

[6ryan4]

(Sorry for the double post)

Finally! Of all the BG editing tutorials that I have read, this one is the best! Oh, and that glitchy tile thing, I've gotten rid of it!

You're the best!
Thanks!

WHAT?! HOW DID YOU GET RID OF THE BOXES?!?!?!

Uhhh i have a mac and I can't download infranview. Any good substitue recommendations? I tried using Darwine to crossover but it doesn't work. T_T

 

[Zenox9120]

Is there a download link to NTME? I found a version, but it's far more simplified than the version shown and doesn't have almost any of the options.

 

[IDoLikeMudkip]

good, very good, ill pass this on to someone else who will find it helpful

 

[Druyii]

That tut was amazing, but I don't get how to remove the glitchy squares in the bottom left. How do you remove them? It looks like this atm :\

DawnRyder said that he didn't know how to fix those glitchy squares at the bottom left because it also happen on his personal ones too :(

EDIT: Well -MéWtH2- says he knows how to fix them :O

For people who have the wrong version of NTME here is the link

You probably got alpha version 1 or 2 but you need VERSION 1.1 for this ;)
Here's the link to it :)
its the latest version

By the way I cant post links so I put a '_' into the http part. Simply remove the '_' part and replace with 't'

Enjoy people :)

@blue4ever222

If you cant find the any substitute for IfranView for Mac send me your sprite or picture to change into 16 colour bit ANY TIME you want through PM. It doesnt even matter about the quantity :)

Thanks, but I've got NTME v1.1, so why is it doing it?
