List of General Questions

[griffen_star]

Hello,


  Some of these question may seem stupid, but keep in mind I'm new to the game. 

1. How do I use the finished sprites found here at the forums - I understand the basics, importing the graphic and setting the graphic as the character. But all of the downloaded sprite designs turn out odd when actually playing the game. The main thing to happen is you only see half of the character as they move.


2. Switches - I've read through numerous tutorials on switches but I still don't understand the process. The main thing I want to do is have two characters speaking to eachother as soon as the main character enters the map. 

3. Title screen - I'm a pro at photoshop 7.0, and I've created my own title screen. How do I add it in (simple instructions please, like I said before I'm new at this)


Thank you all who respond!


Ciao

Ok title screen is easy go to database in game creator, click the system tab and choose the title. Remember to upload the title to the material base. For the talking switch the event to autorun. Not sure about sprites though.

What do you mean? They are mainly the RPGXP models, re-colored.

Oh just trying to figure out why they dont work for you.

1. It sounds like you're using VX, so I haven't had any experience with using XP graphics.  My best guess, though, would be that you forgot to remove the first (I believe) line.  In XP, the sprites have 4 frames, but in VX, the sprites only have 3 frames.  If you look at the defaults, you'll see what I mean.

2. There are two things you can do:
  A. Autorun - this will make the event run so that the player can't move until it's finished.  These activate after you enter a map.
  B. Parallel - this will make things happen, but the character still has the ability to move.  These activate before the map appears, but are usually used as common events for things that occur throughout the entire game.

It sounds like you'll want to use Autorun, though.
