IDraw and other spriting questions
Which program is best to use for spriting? I've heard IDraw recommended numerous times, but when I try to change colors (the default seems to be white), I get an error:
IDraw Ver3.32.3
Exception EAccessViolation in module IDraw3.exe at 0006985B.
????? 'IDraw3.exe' ????? 0046985B ????? 00000024 ??????????????????.
I don't expect anyone to know what that means or know how to remedy the problem, really. I've tried reinstalling it, but it never seems to work, and I always get the same error.
What other tools are good?
Why are these tools better than something like Paint?
If I am pulling tile sets and character sets off of threads here and elsewhere, what do I do with them? Do I copy them into IDraw/whatever program gets recommended and save them?
Or - the more direct question that I should have asked first is, is there a comprehensive guide or tutorial on how to begin spriting? I'm not too worried about technique(s) right now. I'd just like to start experimenting.
Thanks!

Gearing Up and Pace of Distribution
For me, personally, I don't like getting the best gear at the end of the game, because you get very little mileage out of it. I don't want it at the beginning, either. I like to see it start to emerge around the two-thirds-of-the-way-through mark. What's the point of getting the best sword or the best armor in the game just to use it on one or two battles?
Music Creation
Music Creation
Which program(s) are those of you that compose using to make music? Is there anything akin to iDraw that is relatively simple to use (or kind of like the music creation in Little Big Planet 2)?
Thanks!
Thanks!
Is the defense stat reduntant?
In FFXI, they use defense, vitality, and HP for the physical side of the house.
HP offers no mitigation, but a buffer. Defense, I believe, reduced the average amount of damage you took. VIT reduced the peak damage. On top of that, there was physical damage reduction gear.
For magic, you again had HP. Then, there was MDB (a hidden stat - magic defense bonus) and magic damage reduction gear. I don't believe MND (mind) affected magic defense, but it may have.
Its been a while since I played the game, so I've probably misrepresented a term or two. Also, defense as a whole was broken in the game, so take that for what it's worth. All in all, though, I think the premise is a good one for those that min/max in games. Personally, I like having control over as many stats as possible.
