A question about character sprites

[Jikito]

is it possible to use sprites larger then 32x64 when making a game? they seem so tiny.. or is it pretty much locked to this sprite size?

As far as i know Each character is contained in a single file. This file can be any size, and is laid out with the character facing all four directions (down, left, right, and up) and going through four frames of movement, for a total of 16 frames. The size of the actual character will be 1/4 the height and 1/4 the width of the entire bitmap, and there are no limits on character size.

yes, is possible and easy. just try to import a charaset in paint, double its size and import it on rpgxp !

Thank's ill try 64x128.

My next question is, is it posible to modify screen reselution of actual game or is it locked at 640x480.

I'm pretty sure there's a script that makes the game start up in fullscreen mode, but you'll have to find that .

Yes as I've learned recently it is possible to have a larger resolution than 640x480. And about the character sprites. The way character graphics are split is into 16 frames. So lets say you have a 256x256 character graphic. When its loaded it'll be diced up into 16 rectangles. With a 256x512 image each frame will be 64x128. So the width of each frame is 256/4 and the height on the other hand is 512/4.

All right. Here's the information regarding resolution:
