General Dimensions for Sprites and Art

[liliputian7 4]

Is there a list somewhere that shows the general dimensions for pixel art? I'd like to make custom full buildings and custom tiles and even character sprites, but I can't find any dimensions for those things and I'm afraid importing something with incorrect dimensions will disrupt the game.

You can always export the default files and base on them.

To get the default files use Resource Manager in the editor, or just go to steam folder > steamapps > common > RPGVXAce > rtp > Graphics > ...

 

Each tile has 32x32 pixels, so stick to this.

The default-size characters are within these pixels (32x32).

A character sprite sheet has 3 columns; 4 rows ~ but you can put 8 character sprites in one file, which will give you 12 columns and 8 rows.

Thank you!

 

Do dimensions for creating larger characters matter? Or is it alright as long as I use a 3-column 4-row outline?

I haven't toyed with this that much, but I think there's no problem with making larger characters. You just need to stick to column-row scheme, so if you want to make a character twice as high, then just multiply the height of the whole image by two to leave 4 equal-sized rows.

 

I've made one or two non-default sized sprites and I don't remember having bigger problems.

 

You can always make a very simple sprite-thingie to check if everything works as you would like it to work and then do serious things.
