I dragged Valtteri's Graphics Pack into my level folder but they don't show up in my editors?

Graphics pack - is a bunch of images which you must manually put into custom folder of your levels. Put only necessary graphics and don't put everything at once. To apply new custom graphics you must reload your level:
- in the PGE press F5 key to do reloading stuff.
- in the SMBX Editor click the "File"/"open" and open same level file. If you wasn't saved your level, isntead of "open" use "save" to save your current state of level file.

Hint, where you must put your custom graphics

(SMBX and PGE uses same structure, because PGE technically is alternate implementation of SMBX Engine which fully compatible with it)

Basically what you want to do is make a folder with the same name as your level file.
You dump the graphics you need inside of it (all of the gifs!) and they should show up for that level.
PGE also uses tileset files which makes it easier to use them.

It didn't work for me. Im trying to use my own GFX but when I spawn in toad (I made an "Agent Toad" NPC) it only shows a normal toad instead of one with black uniform and shades.

Will you please upload a screenshot of the folder that you level is in?

In what format did you save the image. SMBX 1.3.0.1 can only read .gif images. SMBX 2.0, 1.4, and PGE can read .png images.

I think I done a PNG image but I don't know what SMBX version I have.

This topic is from 2016. Please don't bump old topics. Also PGE is not SMBX2. PGE is just the editor used in SMBX2
