resize and name

[epicrean]

Hello all I am new here and new to RPG Maker VX. I have played a lot of peoples games and love what this program is capable of...

First I want to make a tree bigger? Is this possible or do I have to draw it myself and save it as png, etc... I played a demo game and it has the same tree three different sizes, I have the tree under my tools but it is the size of one square... Any help?

Second I was playing a game and noticed every house in the town had a Light on it, I can't find that image anywhere, he also had a blue wooden door on all his houses, I can't even find a door for my houses, just the zelda style dungeon doors... Am I doing something wrong? Is there a way of downloading more images?

Third, when you go into a town I want the name to pop up so people know the name of the town, I have seen this in other peoples games but can't seem to do it my self.


I have many many more questions, but this is just the ones bugging me right now.

Epic
Thanks

RMVX is largely editable. For your graphical questions it's simply a case of editting the images in a program such as paint; you can get new graphics from the "Resource Analysis" boards here.

For the name question you would need a Script - check the Script forums here (searching for "map name" might yeild results).

You want to go to the little icons at the top of the program, and select the one that looks like a stack of colored blocks. (It is towards the right) Then, in the window that pops up, you select a type of graphic (or audio), then import it into the program with the button at the top right, called "Import". Youll have to experiment with the right and left mouse buttons for making the background transparent, but that's about it.
