customizing  rpg maker,
certain limits on ‘objects’ created. replacing existing ones in lite
maybe put custom stuff into resources menu selection..png format is suggested
get items icons down to 24×24 pixels
sweet victory. I got a custom icon of grass into RPGMaker Berzerkist game.  REplaced Hand Ax icon
with my grass icon.  three hours of code and done and on to lots of icon creation.
in gimp anchoring is important for copy/pasted custom icon.
don’t forget more room can be added length wise in multiples of 24 pixels.
but there is extra room on original iconset file.
also under View in gimp 2.8, snap to grid and view grid are important for placing custom icon in
with the others in iconset file.
now off to make so many more items.  theme them and plug it in.

took a lot of msn searches to get it done.  I’ve given up on browsing forums in favor of search boxes well phrased.  It seems I always got caught up in off topic issues that weren’t helping on forums.  So by filtering the unnecessary items with a search engine I got to the helpful stuff.  I turned the Hand Ax of Berzerkist game made with RPGMaker into a 3 stalks of grass icon. 

Here’s the list o’links to get it done.  Some are the last page read but a little clicking back gets to the info.
