CloseI tried to import some sprites onto rpg maker 2003 and it said, "invalid color depth". Help would be appreciated.
Sorry, im new to programming. Im not a bad spriter but i want to make my own game. I have already tried saving it as a bitmap though.

Use Irfanview to not only reduce the color depth to 256, but save as .png instead of .bmp to make the files smaller.
Instructions: load image file into Irfanview > Image > Decrease Color Depth > 256 colors > OK > File > Save as... > Save as type PNG > Compression Level 9.
Also has batch conversion for multiple images and can use the PNGOUT plugin to make png files even smaller. And it's freeware.

Can Gimp do that too? Lately when I convert the image to indexed color, rm2k3 has been rejecting it saying "Unsupported PNG image" I've never had this problem until a couple of days ago. Normally when I change the color mode to "indexed" it works out. Do I have to save a custom palette or something?
