Please help me!

Tell me what is wrong with the tileset in this file. I know it is unimaginative but I made the sprite myself in Paint and so it is not copywrited, though the whole project may be, seeing as the sprites give it away. But anyway, please tell me what is wrong with the sprites.

Ummm... maybe you'd like to start by attaching a file here? ;)

np: Stasis - Point Of No Return (B12 Records Archive Vol. 5 (Disc 2))

Sorry, I already tried to upload this file but my computer crashed at that point, so I added the topic again but I guess I forgot to add the file
Here

I also maintain that, although it might not look like it I am the maker of these sprites, as unimaginative as they are

A couple of things:

1. The heighth of your spriteset is 20, while it's supposed to be 22(each sprite's heighth is 22)

2. The width of your spriteset is 190, while it's supposed to be 176(22*8; width of each sprite should be 22)

3. The background colour isn't transparent. The transparent one is RGB 192 192 192(the light-grey colour in paint)

If you're making tileset for RPG, though, the heighth of each sprite is supposed be 44, the width of each sprite is supposed be also 44(and the width of the whole spriteset is 352) and the transparent colour is RGB 255 0 255

Also, I believe that if you don't need the sprite to look any different at different orientations, you can just use a single 22x22 square rather than having to repeat it 8 times. That's not what's wrong with it, but it should make your life a little easier.

That's great, but with my new, resized and recoloured sprite it still just doesn't appear. The items are invisible. Help me again please!

EDIT: Forget it, I just forgot to set the characters to visible. Sigh... :blush
