IS IT WRONG TO DO THIS?

CloseI was wondering if it is wrong to take chipsets from other games made on the site using RPG Maker. If they are good however. I was wondering this cause I downloaded a few games with awesome chipset maps. I don't wanna use them if I am gonna piss people off in the future.
Well, really it depends on who made the chipsets. There's a lot of free-to-use chipsets out there, so what you'd need to do is check to see what kind of chipsets you're using, whether they were created for that game only or are part of a free to use set.
If you post up an example of a few tiles we could let you know if they were fre source, or originals.

Also, you could just ask the creator if you're allowed to use their resources. Of course, you're not always going to be able to ask. They may be inactive.
Ask the creator's permission?
Or check the chipset's "ownership." Usually they included readmes but yeah.

Yeah I haven't been able to find many good chipsets. Everybody sends me to Charas Project and I can never find what I really want in there, unfortunately.

I'm not a sprite artist. I can't even draw.

I'd really like to get rid of LockeZ. His play style is way too unpredictable. He's always like this too. If he ran a country, he'd just kill and imprison people at random until crime stopped.

Well, that's fine, because drawing isn't really a useful skill to have when making chipsets and sprites anyway. Drawing and pixelling have pretty much nothing in common! You just open existing stuff, zoom in to 8x or 16x size, and start changing the colors of the giant dots. If you want something more unique you should probably read a tutorial on pixelling but it's certainly not necessary. And if you want a more realistic look you can actually make your own unique tilesets with very little work; I get most of my tiles from shrunk down photos I find on google image search.
Well if you can give me any pixel tutorials that are useful that I can pull off in Photoshop, then that would be cool. It would be very nice to make my own modern sets rather then scroll through all the medieval sets that are a plenty of.
Try google search, there seems to be quite a few of them (this said, I don't think it's anything easy...).

This is a good tutorial, focused mostly on sprites.
This too, focused mostly on tilesets.
Read this one too. It's less about the technical aspect of how to make it, and more about how to make it look good.
Here's a forum post with a list of useful free software. Photoshop is a perfectly good choice though.
I'm surprised there's not a sticky post in the creative corner full of tuts.

The truth is, most RM games you'll find here use resources that they didn't make themselves. While it's always a good idea to contact the creator to find out for sure, especially when you're under the impression that they did create them themselves, most of the time they just found them all on the net. Intro credits are a good way to figure out if they did or not.
No one should "have" to sprite their own stuff for their games when there is so much available on the net that you can use freely without any qualms. Anyone who tells you otherwise is basically just being a jackass. The safest way is to use rips, just make sure to give credit to the people who ripped them when you can.

yeah, I think sbester's right, pixelling is actually a long learning experience, and difficult, you can try it out, but if you've never done it, you'll never get anything done for your game.
Do you know of this site: http://charas-project.net/resources.php
but there are dozens others on almost any rm site, here are a few in the first post http://www.rpgrevolution.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=1550
just type rm2k3 resources in google search, you can do it as well as I.
Edit : all of these of course are free of any right and ok to use.

No.
Well the game I downloaded that I was looking at did have credits in the folder, referring to what project the chipsets belonged to. So I may reuse those and just give the same credit to the people who made them in notepad when I release a game. That's if credit was actually given...
I do hope to one day make a RPG that is based off my story epic. But I already know that I am gonna need custom chipsets to do it cause the story is just damn epic as hell. I wonder if during my time here, I will find somebody who will be willing to lend me a hand.

Actually, just because they gave credit doesn't mean you can use them. If I commissioned some graphics I would give credit but that wouldn't mean that anyone else would be allowed to use them.
Check with the game maker. If the credits are to Mack, Enterbrain, Celianna, Kaz or Theodore then you can use them. If not, then throw down the names here and we should be able to tell you if they're free-use or if you need to check some more.
Even better if you can get in touch with those people and gain their permission.

created by DarkCrono for the game Abstract Paroxysm and chipsets and charactersets created by Gibmaker for the game The Longing Ribbon.
That's what it says in the credits.

If they were created for a specific game, I'd definitely ask first. You might directly ask DarkCrono and Gibmaker if they are still active, otherwise ask the maker of the game you found them in.
While rpgmaker.net isn't really a site designed for hosting graphics resources, this thread has links to a ton of stuff. Potentially useful?
