I'm new to the whole Chara's generator thing, and for some reason the battle chars can't be imported to my game. It's in a PNG file, and Chara's is supposed to be made for RPG Maker 2003, right?

So how can I fix this?

2 ideas:

1.) When you make your png, be sure you're saving the actual file and not the tiny preview image. The actual file should be in a separate window/tab.

2.) One Charas image cannot be directly imported. Charas makes 1 full char, but they need to be imported in sheets of 8 of those. Open one of the default out of the RTP and see how they do it. You can go into paint, paste your new image on top of RTP characters, and re-import it as something else. Then you can use your custom char.

I prefer Graphics Gale, it's a free program that is great for sprite editing and you can easily cut and paste, add layers, snap to grids, etc.
