I don't know if this goes here but, anyway, how do I calculate the distance from each frame of a character walking animation? I mean, how much transparent space do I have to leave to have a well centered walking/running animation?... (this might sound noob, I know...)
Which software? Usually it's multiples of 16, so 16 or 32 should be about right for the tile size. I think characters take up the same space though I may be wrong.
Damn. :P
I guess it might come down to trial and error. Put a dot at fixed intervals - a fixed amount of space between each one - and see if they move at all when animated. If they don't then they're right in the middle. That will help you find the central point from which you can create a shape to fit within the boundaries.

As RPGMaker XP uses only 4 frames of animation at a time, you would need a script to allow you to go beyond that... to six, eight, or whatever. You do have a 'frames' script, right? We have some in the scripts databse board.
Oh... moving to General Support as this is a general game-making topic. No worries.

thanks for moving the thread. as I said, I wasn't sure where to put it.
and yes, I have a script that allows me to use "x" number of frames in any evet/character... not sure if the best but it works and that's what I need xD
not sure if it helps, but I put all of my frames in one file, 32x64 or whatever to get them how I need. then make a new file with however many frames x width, ditto for height. set snap to grid. then you should be able to copy your template layers into a template sheet correctly.

You shoulda gone to China. You know, 'cause I hear they give away babies like free iPods. You know they pretty much just put them in those t-shirt guns and shoot them out at sporting events.
... And then the Prince Knelt Down and tried to put the Glass Slipper on Cinderella's Foot by Judith Viorst
I really didn't notice that he had a funny nose.
And he certainly looked better dressed up in fancy clothes.
He's not nearly as attractive as he seemed the other night.
So I think I'll just pretend that this glass slipper feels too tight.
The beauty of life is, while we cannot undo what is done,
we can see it, understand it, learn from it and change.
So that every new moment is spent not in regret, guilt, fear or anger,
but in wisdom, understanding and love.

The religion of the future will be a cosmic religion. It should transcend personal God and avoid dogma and theology. Covering both the natural and the spiritual, it should be based on a religious sense arising from the experience of all things natural and spiritual as a meaningful unity. Buddhism answers this description. If there is any religion that could cope with modern scientific needs it would be Buddhism. (Albert Einstein)
