How to make new overworld sprites

[DoctorCow]

This tutorial will show you how to create/replace overworld sprites.
TOOLS NEEDED:
- Overworld Manager
- Irfan View
- Paint program
- Advance Map

STEPS:
1. Find the overworld sprite you want to insert.
For this tut I will insert a new lugia sprite.
2. Open up Overworld Manager.
3. Pick a sprite that you want to replace.
For this tut I chose 214

Spoiler:

4. Click resize and choose the type and # of frames.
For this tut I chose type 4 (64x64) and will have 9 frames.

5. Open the sprites in the paint program and align them like this:

Spoiler:

For this tut I have lugia with just two frames so I did this: (I did it multiple times because I want the lugia "animated")

Spoiler:

6. Open up the picture in Irfan View and descrease color depth to 16 colors.
7. In Overworld manager, go to import frames sheet

Spoiler:

8. Edit palette slot
For this tut I chose 10

Spoiler:

9. Then click palette cleanup
10. Open up advance map and change the picture number on a sprite to the one you chose.
*note* if it looks messed up on advance map, test it out still in VBA.

11. Test it out.
Here is how mine came out.

What does the palette number choice change please ?

I tried to import some sprites but even in game it's messed up....

I honestly do not know what the palette number choice changes... I had messed up sprites as well and when I messed around with the palette choice, it worked.. May I see pics of your advance map and Overworld Manager
