im having an issue with using the images in rpg maker mz. im able to see the folder and images in the file manager in mz. But when im going to use them i cant see them. any suggestions on what to do.

Hi, I'm not as familiar with MZ but I asked chat, 

  • Store your battler PNGs in: img/enemies/ (for enemy battlers)
  • If you want them as actor battlers, use img/sv_actors/ (for side-view battle mode)
  • No fixed size requirement – but the resolution should match the character’s scale in battle.
  • Recommended size: ~ 500x500px for large enemies, 100-300px for smaller ones.
  • PNG format with transparent background (to avoid unwanted white/black backgrounds).

    For Enemies (Non-Side-View Battles)
    1. Open RPG Maker MZ → Go to the Database (F9).
    2. Select Enemies → Click on the battler image.
    3. Choose your PNG file from img/enemies/.
    4. Adjust stats, skills, and battle behaviors as needed.
    For Side-View Actor Battlers (SV Battlers)
    • Store them in img/sv_actors/
    • Note: Side-view actor battlers require sprite sheets, not static images. If you want a static battler for an actor, use a plugin to enable front-view battles instead.
  • Thanks for the info. The pngs look awesome by the way.
