I am trying to make my own charset for battleing using the sprites from the regular charset (editing them). The only problem I have is when I put them onto a image that the RPG Maker reads to put into the game, it comes up as black when I try to select that charset from the animation 2 tab.

anyone know where i am screwing up??? thanks in advance.

It's probably the old 256 color problem. Go into MSPaint and open up the "black" pictures, and use Save As to change them into a 256 Color Bitmap. Import it through the standard way (Tools - Resource Manager) and it should be fine.

You can probably save it as 256 colors in other editors as well, but I wouldn't know where to do that since I only use MSPaint. If you don't like MSPaint, use your editor's Help menu to figure out how to convert it to 256 colors.
