CloseFor the past 8 months or so, I'd been trying to practice making my own minigames and such; I was never planning on uploading them, but they were just made so I can get better enough to eventually be able to make a real game. I have a plot now, and I'm beginning.
The only problem was I could never upload pictures/sprites I made to the game. Before I got colour errors, but I read about InfranView; I downloaded it, and am trying to work it out now.
Now when I try to upload, my error reads, "Bitmap Size is Irregular."
Could someone possibly help me with this? Thank you in advance ^^

Image Specifications
Stationary graphic images
Data format: PNG, BMP, XYZ (Raw material)
Colours: 256 (8-bit)
(Note)
· When dithering pictures in a True Color (16.7 million colors/24 bit) environment, the colors shown after dithering may differ depending on the system environment, graphics card, etc. Using software that can adjust palettes with 15-bit precision can mitigate this problem.

LockeZ
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.

The short version of Calunio's post is to make sure the width and height of your image (in pixels) is the same as the RTP files. The exceptions are monsters, pictures, and panoramas, which can vary in size.
The reason for the color errors is because there are two types of PNG images - true color, and 256 color. Sometimes true color is called RGB, and 256 color is called indexed. 256 color is what RPG Maker 2003 uses. If your images are in true color, you have to convert them.

Hm...thank you both. I'm still having some slight trouble understanding, but I'll try to work it out. So, for one character set, I have to make it 288x256? Is that just for one of my characters? My sprites are...kinda big XD;
I would suggest looking at the RTP material supplied if you can't understand the specifications outlined in the manual.
Character Sets - Image size: 288x256
· Each walking pose is 24x32 pixels.
· 4 directions (Up, right, down, left) x 3 frame walking pattern (Left, middle, right
· Total of 12 frames per character.
· Each file has two rows of four characters, for a total of eight characters.
I don't know what else to add, seems very clear to me... anyway, Good luck!

Yeah, the easy way is to just look at the RTP files and make sure yours are in the same format. The grid Alterego posted shows the exact boundaries of each frame. You can see that each frame of animation is 24x32 pixels.
I have a very similar Importing question for 2k3, what if all it says is
"Unsupported PNG image"?
I have size color and all that hoopla correct.

Size and color depth are basically the only two requirements as far as I know. Maybe your image isn't actually a PNG image? RPG Maker 2003's error messages are pretty useless, so I'm not sure what the problem would be. If you upload the image and post it here, I can probably easily see what's wrong though.

I sized it up right and edited the size, it was originally JPEG but i changed it to PNG while using Infraveiw.

You saved it as a 16 color image instead of a 256 color image.
