    Pardon my lackluster skills, but...

    How do I import sprites and tiles? I mean, I've tried typing in the name of the sprite sheets in the import sprites bar, but it doesn't work. I've tried loads of other crap, but they don't work, too.

    Please help me, somebody. Keep in mind that I am not going to use ANY of the default sprites or tiles.

    What's the type of the sprite sheet? (.qst, .zgp, .til, .zpl)

    Did you download different sprites?

    If so, you have to browse for them. Look for them where ever you downloaded them to. Also most sprites and tiles that you download come zipped, which means you need to unzip them. If you don't have a program to do so go to winzip.com and get one.

    They are unzipped. They're GIF files, and I downloaded them from PureZC's tile index. Am I using the wrong commands in the bar, are they in the wrong place(I have moved the sprites), is it the wrong format, or what?

    No. I see what you're doing wrong.
    In order to use gifs to replace tiles, you have to goto quest>graphics>tiles then select the tile you want to replace or group of tiles, then click grab. Search for the file that you downloaded then put the box around the tiles that you want to import.

    You can do this one by one or by groups. I suggest just finding a blank page in the tiles pages and grabbing all the new tile and just copy and paste from there. It'll save you from length of time from going back and forth with grabbing tiles.

    That explains it. I can see the sprites by clicking "PAL" in the menu, but when I choose, say, the walking right sprite, it just shows up black, with a weird outline.

    Do I just recolor it, or is there something else?

    Yeah, I'm having a lot of trouble recoloring a faint, black/blue outline into a legible sprite.

    You could always grab the palette from the tiles.
