Hehe... Here are some chips...
And yes, it's a german site...
http://www.mirai-online.de/?inhalt=chipset
[/b]
I love you. Seriously, I'm not joking. A couple of the chips on that site are EXACTLY what I'm looking for right now for my compositions.
NPX- that site is in our resource list 
.
I'm having trouble downloading the chipsets from the link you gave, I think...
The files I'm getting only have like 6 tiles o.O ? Is it supposed to be like that? I don't feel like pasting more tiles together. I have enough work ahead of me as it is (...)

GTFO, Lemon man!
Most of them are Harry Potter chipsets, Z. There's a download link below each thumbnail. You just save them straight to your hard drive as normal.

Where on these screenshots can we spot your own graphics, if you've done any?
[/b]
I don't usually make my own graphics (as far as chipsets) from SCRATCH. I'm not sure why. I just far prefer editing them. Therefore there's plenty of alterations like the bus seats on the bus or adjusted mirrors in the bathrooms and the lockers in the school etc. etc. just because I'm being picky about the atmosphere I want in each location.
I'm going throw in a new screenshot while I'm here. I was going to wait to include it into my official TDS topic but the topic is a huge endeavour in itself so I'm putting it on hold until my final exams are done:
Here is a new and improved screenshot from the "Intense Convo System" I made a thread about many moons ago.
I've come to the grim realization that I'm going to probably have to redo my portraits so that they are much smaller and cel-shaded as to conform to the 48x48 256 colour restraints of rm2k3. -_-x Because right now they just look like blurry colourful birds ugh.
Absolutelly gorgeous! O_O
Just messing around with Inq's new chipset.

What happens if I choose the third option?
SPOILERS:
>) jk
You lose points if you ask her the first option because she interprets your answer as taking an interest so she starts a tirade about her "suffering" over the past few years.
The second option you gain points because you own her good.
The last option you neither gain nor lose points. She talks about the origin of her name and gets all self-indulgent but doesn't go on a rant like she would in response to the first option.
EDIT: Oh thank you Nuno.
So the 2nd option always puts the other person in there place good.. sweet.. now I know how to win an argument in the umm World of Doth?.. Dothiverse?...
Ordinary screens, nothing really special, but I am progressing on my game.
First screen is the breakout menu, second screen is a battle, and third screen is just something from the "field."
Working on Mode07 in RMXP. Although not evident from the screenshot, I still haven't worked out tiles above the hero or animated autotiles. But I'll get it soon enough!
Oh wow, mode7! Looks really nice, good luck with it.

Wow! Holy shit!
Excellent work, Mewsterus! Looks fantastic.
Holy hell Mewstereus! I gotta put more faith in you. I knew you were good, but not even Near or Sephy were able to do that!
I just spotted that Mode 7 thing and had to make what might actually be my first post in this thread! Not to discredit others' excellent work, but anything that reminds me of the old SNES games I loved and still love today above all else, I am interested.
It's looking lovely! Really hope you stick with it and it gets put to good use . I was talking to someone over MSN and said it was very snessy, although unfortunately I didn't spot the awful pun until AFTER I pressed Enter XD.

This is pretty awesome, Mew - spiffy as Hell.
That's actually my second attempt--my first attempt lagged "like a bitch in cold weather." This one doesn't lag, although it gives this weird effect when you move up and down, mostly at high angles. By the way, the system has built into it the ability to alter the angle of the camera, by altering the $pitch variable. It'll be a while though before I can make it work with events appearing in the correct location in relation to the map (invisible events won't matter, but it'll look really weird having NPC's walking around for a while)
By the way, I have to thank Fangha Giang. Whoever 'e is, 'e reverse engineered the Tilemap class, without which none of this would be possible. Although 'e screwed up on something that I ended up fixing...stupid hashes.
(EDIT: 'e is a neutral personal pronoun invented by the people at LRPGM, since he and she both end in 'e.' I don't know if Fanha is a masculine or feminine name 
)
EDIT again: Here's a pic of a development scene; I'm refining it, and getting some errors trying to achieve my specific goal.
The world really IS flat!
That looks really cool, good luck with it. It'll be awesome to finally play RM made games with mode07.
Right now, I'm working on a CBS in Rm2k3. Graphics are placeholders for now, I need to make my own battle poses (yes, they will be edits off charas 
)
I'm trying to combine Tactical and Traditional battle styles.
Actually Myo; Near was going to do Mode 7 for TGW. Still a very nice aspect to add to the world of RMXP. Mew, you've given the RMing community 1000 more FF fangames...thanks
The Gauntlet of Noisome Toxins. Finally a complete dungeon! As the [Particulate Matter] guage rises, the opacity of the overlay increases.
Transposon Storm copies the lowest HP and FT values, and the highest EX value to all living allies.
The Organalle Decay skill in action.
cool to the extreme, advo. beside all the dialog. which doesn't really matter that much to me, this is going to be a hard game to beat, with having to not overuse my FT. :cool: :frown:
I wonder how hard would be to implement Mode 07 and what restrictions would it have?
Anyways, I love Tiki's screenshot, a very impressive CBS. As for RPG Advocate's game, well hum, I could describe it as different of what we are used to see and looks also intersting wich is in my opinion very good. All you guys doing good work. 
So Advocate, you lurk around these parts?
You make it really hard to button mash my way through battles on AG...I should kill you.
Here's the most recent screen of Mode07:
Wow, that looks amazing!
hrmm I donno about "amazing" but definately very snes-ish.. which is cool.. though with te 2d map it looks just kinda awkard to me.
Well, umm RMXP isn't very 3D SaW. I think it look good and all, but will it be 360 degrees navigatible. If you pull that off you are one hell of a coder.
Tiki: That looks like a rather nice CBS you have going there. The graphics you are using now seem pretty nice at the moment. Unless the poses are other people's hard work that you had permission to use or don't match your characters, I wouldn't see any problem in you using them as permanent graphics.
Advo: I take it that over the time of the gauge, the player has a chance to take in more oxygen. I can't help but thing that in that screenshot the character has only 16 seconds before he dies, yet I can't see many places he could go except try his luck through the door. Of course, he'd also have to dart over the spikes to reach it. Perhaps you could run us through how the dungeon works?
Mewsterus: Fantastic. Now, make sure you get the 360 degrees done and I'll help make it look nicer with some graphics! I'm not familiar with FF5's Mode 7, but I'm far more keen to see whatever is done in FF6. Code that.
Mew, where'd you get that bridge? Looks good, better than the ones I've seen in the tileset and yet they fit. Got a link?
I thought I'd join in this topic since I haven't had any FANTASICALLY looking screenshots to show off, I just post what I've got of my cms so far...
Main menu
Class Changer
Party Changer
These aren't final yet and NO we are not using the window skin(just in case someone was going to ask that >_>) The cms will be fiddled with some more but the baics is pretty much complete.
I doubt you will see me post another screenshot for a long time
Looking great Berserker, though I commented over at .org on that screen .
Now a few screens from my unannounced project, exclusive to the Town (woot):
Early morning in Dormitory Block 3, East
The window lighting hasn't been finalised yet, and I think a bit more fiddling will be done before the day is out .
Wow, I thought I was keeping up to date with this thread but a lot of this stuff seems to have passed me by!
Tiki: The CBS looks smashing, and it's a great idea, combining the traditional with the tactical, which does seem to be somewhat neglected in the RPG Making world.
RPGAdvo: Looking wonderfully technical and innovative =D. I must confess though, like Inq, that I haven't much of a clue about what's going on the first shot XD. Looks lovely though.
mewsterus: Already confessed how much I like the idea of Mode07. Looking back at some earlier shots you can see jst how much the system's coming along. If you can get it 4-way, or even 8-way, it'll be extraordinarily impressive! It'll open up a new range of possibilities within the maker I think; Mode07 wasn't just used to world maps in RPGs as every good school boy knows!!
Beserker: It's looking really good! I love how neat and tidy it all seems, and the menu works well on the right-hand side of the screen. The class thing is looking rather interesting, and I love that party changer. Those shadowed out things are cute XD.
Myo: Looking nice! I think the charaset is a very good size, and it works very well. The lighting's definitely coming on a bit, and the map itself is really nice.
Myono, you're using events - character sets of lighting for the windows, right? That's exactly what I've been after recently. If you do pop them out to share once you're done, or if you can give me some basic advice on how to create something like that, it'd be really appreciated! I've been trying to describe the effect to people but noone's understood me *laughs*
Berserker, script is looking great. I don't focus on 'em so much because I want to get everything else done, and introduce good scripts and whatnot at the end when there'll be more resources for battle systems and all... but it looks great.
Its done using pictures in photoshop, then setting them as semi transparent.
Hm, alright. Personally, I figure since there's a picture limit, and commands need to be entered to make them flicker... why not make them into a character set? Then you can place as many as you like, simply have the mild variation in each frame of the character set and get the charset to spin around. No other work necessary. It can still be semi-transparent, set to add or neg or whatnot.
My difficulty lies in making the effects semi-transparent in Photoshop in the right areas - Photoshop is really unintuitive for me, considering I'm used to MS Paint and Graphics Gale, it's a giant leap. Heh.
There's no picture limit....
o_O You sure? I thought you could manipulate 20 pictures at a time.
*checks*
Huh, okay, so it's 50 pictures. lol. So that's more than I'd need, right. Heh.
Hrm. Still, I like the character set idea. Nice and easy to place. But heck, a picture's good too, I guess. You can ensure a series of them side by side are not identical in how they fluctuate.
Is there a recommended color that the lighting effects should be? In Knight's Blade they're often grey, I've seen them elsewhere as green, and I just wondered why not plain white. I guess I don't understand exactly how the 'add' function thing works. If it adds colors, you'd think white would be just fine, yet instead people add grey, 'neg'. *scratches head*
Nice Myo. Like the lighting effects. What template are you using for those charsets? The tileset needs some resizing for those larger sprites.
Half Kaiser, and Im thinking maybe shrinking the char slightly in sprite_character.
Did you make those Myo? Because I was thinking they were so beautiful, maybe I'd like some like those for MY game. Although those lighting effects are a BIT overdone, I'd probably want something similar to that as well.
Hell, why don't we just team ourselves up?
Because I prefer to work alone :lol:.
But seriously, if you came on to this project, I'd gladly accept. And yeah, I do think the lighting is a bit bright, so I think I'll tone it down tonight.
Oh and, I added you to MSN, but I don't think you accepted .
PM me your MSN account so I can try to add you. I never got a message saying you tried to add me. Either that, or I've just never been online since (which is highly likely)
(The tree shadow over the sky will be fixed)
A bit of progress on my new tileset. It'll be able to do more than just mountains and villages when I'm finished though. I'll soon move onto cities, forests, docks and castles. With the more stuff being added it is getting harder to use, but I'm sure any adventurous map maker would soon figure it all out.
Oh dear.
That's so beautiful.
I was just sticking with the outdoor tilesets from RTP before so I could match interiors, but now this is real motivation to create variations on your interior that are smaller (since larger tilesets lag the game, I hear, on slower PCs? Not something I've witnessed, but supposedly we want to cut them down in size per place they're used?)
And it gives me a lot of faith in what you could create for a desert tileset... have you got any sand to show at all yet? Nevermind the whole persian styled thing - the sands and the walls themselves, to even begin the canyons and all... deserts are so overlooked... and I have such a tale for sailing across the sands, I do!
Now those screenshots of yours Inquisitor make me feel like giving a shot at RMXP again... Keep up the awsome work.
My, Inq.. that's simply... 
I'm almost getting tempted to use RmXP. Meh, I'll make a game, or at least attemp to, once your graphic sets are complete enough to make a game (which is getting near, actually). Looking absolutely stunning though!
Just to keep this post a bit interesting, here's a screenie:
It's the level menu, after every level up you get to spend a couple of points to learn new skills or upgrade your attack etc.
Well, there's this little shot of my third attempt at a window light character set. My first and second attempts weren't animated, and were awful. The third one is a placeholder for light falling through to one side. I haven't worked on sprites much before, so this is a learning experience. I just don't like using blobs of light as a picture. I'm working on simpler effects as well. It doesn't compare to Inq's effects, but one can imagine using lighting designed to fit his tileset, lighting which could be more than a round blob. I designed this after seeing lights here. It's at full brightness and all, so not actually from in game.
Actually, right, Inq - a query. Why the curved edges? I don't understand why not straight diagonal edges as well. It helps smooth out the cliffs over many curves, and not all cliffs have round corners. Had to design my own diagonal corners instead. Or perhaps you've got more edges in mind, they're just not in the screenies, perhaps.
HEH..YOUR SCREENSHOT IS MIGHTY IMPRESSIVE...
