[RM2K3] Can't seem to import sprites and I don't know why
author=BadLuck
There's something about Gimp that does some sort of... unusual thing with indexing.
It's when you have too few colors. If you make it RGB, then use a paintbrush or something to add in a bunch more colors (like a large, soft brush), index that and then delete the extra colors, it will work.
Yeah when I tried to index the color with just the sprite I could only paint with orange and grey (the colors that I used when making the sprite).

Gimp? Paint convert to 256 colors easy (and it is automatic at win,)
only - is: Your should draw picture again :( ... these colors...
I can just export and open in paint so that should work fine.

I know if you open RPG Maker 2K/2K3 sprites, they have an "indexed" mode enabled, rather than "RGB" or "Grayscale". That option is found via the Image sub-menu in GIMP, as far as I can tell. Now, my guess is that your file had an "RGB" mode, even after converting to 256 color mode. I don't know if this would work, but, maybe try re-opening it in GIMP, after converting to 256 colors, then see what happens if you select "indexed" mode?
Thanks. Might try that.

This may be more of a problem with GIMP because that's what I'm using to make and covert the image to 256 colours, but I really don't know. The more I look into this, the more I realise I really don't know how to use GIMP. But I'm fairly new to this so there might be some obvious thing I'm missing.
Basically, RPG maker 2003 won't let me import a character sprite (the one for moving around outside of combat). I convert the image to 256 colors and try to import it and it gives me the standard "Unsupported PNG Image! Make sure you are using a color depth of 8 bit (256 colors)." I'm sure I did the same thing with a photo to use as a title screen and that worked fine.
Update: fixed the problem by converting the image to 256 colors while it was next to a bunch of the standard RPG maker sprites. I assume it has something to do with RPG maker only accepting specific kinds of colors but I'd still like someone to explain it to me.
