Oh sorry, I never knew.

@Name: My only suggestion is redownload the program. I've never used it so I wouldn't know anything about it.

Never seen that error before, but here is how to get Save Editor to work.
  • Download Save Editor and put it in your 'doukutsu' folder, or wherever the 'Profile.dat' you want to edit is.
  • Also download 'alleg42.dll' and put in the same place as you 'Save Edit.exe'.
  • Run 'Save Edit.exe' and make the changes you want and it should overwrite your 'Profile.dat' if not then I have no idea what to do.

Well, the classic way to do it is to create an entirely new spritesheet, where the sprites match up with the original positions of the ones that you want to replace, and then set the map to call the sprites from the new sheet. I don't think npc.tbl needs to be involved at all?

Oh you're right

Sorry about that
You'll probably wanna edit the original file, not the copy

Have you renamed the .bmp file at all since creating the map that uses it? If you have you will have to right-click the map then click Properties and reselect the tileset.

Do you have a relevant .pxa file for the tileset? PrtWeed.bmp, for example, also needs Weed.pxa to function.
