I found some good ones, like "GeneralTiles_30.png", "ZchTemplateTiles.png", "Metal and Paper.PNG", and "Samus.png". I know how to use custom bolts and custom cursors. Could someone please explain how to use these 'sprites?' I say 'sprites' because it might be the wrong word to use.

DISCLAIMER: I made the screenshot, but I DO NOT OWN THE SPRITESHEETS. Not sure who made them, actually.

You need a .tim file, which tells DROD what each image represents, then you update drod.ini to include the new graphics.

There are more detailed instructions in Kwakstur's post here, and a bunch of reference numbers for .tim files here. I don't know how up to date that last list is; if it's missing entities you need then the best reference is the DROD source code. If the images you have were originally intended as mods, there are probably .tim files in the same place already.

It's under ~/Library/Application Support/Caravel/drod-5_0/
The Library folder is hidden, but you can navigate to there by using the Go to Folder option in Finder (shift + Cmd + G) and pasting in the link.

Thanks. Another issue is, How Exactly do you make a .tim file???? Is it simply changing the file extension in a Finder window? Or do I need some special program to convert it? If the latter is right, then could someone give some good programs I could use, please??

.tim files are just plain text. Creating a text file (with the Mac equivalent of Windows' Notepad) and renaming it should be fine.
