A bit frustrated

Wait... Do you need to have the width and height the same number? I had a 16X32 unit, and am trying to figure out why the mod won't run...

32x32 is minimum I think. But the width and height dont have to be the same. I just change most of my canvas to 128x128 to be safe.

Well, I'm pretty sure the manual said 16 was acceptable, and forcing Hoburgs to 32X32 doesn't really make sense. I guess I'll look over the .dm file again.

If you make the figure in the sprite the correct size, and the rest of the canvas transparent, then you can't go wrong with 128X128 as Amos has said.

Be interesting to experiment with though.

If you dont know how to expand a canvas, create new one with sizes 128x128, then post your image on it. You dont need to resize your image.

If you were talking to me, I do most of my sprite art in MSPaint and then transfer it to Photoshop for TGA-ing. If you weren't, sorry.

I'm sorry I dont understand your reply. If you know how to copy/paste, the program you use shouldnt be an issue.
I'm not trying to be rude. If I sound like I am then I'm sorry again, that was not my intention.
The canvas I was talking about is a new blank (preferably pure black) image with sizes 128x128, on which you paste the image you have created.

Has anyone tested if 256X256 works? For something of extreme height.
