The first step is to learn "what is a cell". With this tutorial I want to show you how to create your own templates - of any size, because all modern RPG-Makers accept and handle sprites of any size. And yes, that is similiar in how far you would be able to go in real life without knowing how to multiply? A basic shopping trip would become a problem. Limiting yourself to premade templates is the same as saying "I only want to learn addition and subtraction, I have no need for multiplication".

Because the engine itself doesn't use such templates, it uses mathematics. Templates are crutches - bad crutches to be precise, because if you need a premade template then you're drastically limiting what you can do with the engine. And they don't even understand how limiting that is. There are plugins that change those limits and allow for other forms of sprites, but that completely depends on the plugin - again there are no templates unless the plugin writer provided them.Time and time again people who want to create their own sprites are asking for pre-made empty/framed templates because they can't work without them. There are plugins that change those limits and allow for other forms of sprites, but that completely depends on the plugin - again there are no templates unless the plugin writer provided is no such thing like those for RMs.

This is a sheet of six rows with three different battle poses of three frame animation each (total 9圆 cells) that is only used in sideview battles and nowhere elseīoth 1&2 have their templates and explanations in the help file you can use it for other behaviours, but in those cases you as the developer are required to change the sprite (remove the walking sprite, add behaviour sprite) in correct situations, and it will be your eventing that controls the behaviour - there is no automatic behaviour other than walking You need to understand how the RPG-Makers handle sprites first as there are three possibilities:Ī map sprite is always 3x4 cells, 3 frame animation on 4 directions.īy default this is used for walking.
