Click on Character/sprite sets. I'm pretty sure the site is free to use, but whatever.

That was my best friend when using my own sprite modules in RPGs. I wrote a mini tutorial on how to load character maps, though if you have taken grade 8 math, you should be able to figure it out on your own .

You can look up Pic.Rotate or go into Paint and hit ctrl+r to rotate your pic.

where might this mini-tut be? i cant seem to locate it in the tutorials section, did you write it there or somewhere else (plz dont use a link, for some reason they dont work for me on this site)

Er, sorry, but theres no other way to really give you the site, other than hyperlink it... If you just go to the tutorial section, and scroll down and scan it for the author "TheOneTrueGod" its like right there. Good luck

(And Pic.Rotate is, unless you are viewing the picture from directly above, a pretty bad option for RPGs. Generally, in RPGs, you view the character from a, roughly, 60 degree angle off the horizontal. Using Pic.Rotate, or just rotating in paint won't give you a very good looking character, because you'll be able to see his face when he's looking away from you. )
