Editing sprite Sheets for RPG Maker XP

For an example, I'll describe a sheet from RMVX.
All overworld characters and items are on a grid that's made of 8 sets of images - 2 rows of 4.
Each set is made up of 12 images - 4 rows of 3.
If you do the maths, that means that there are 8 rows of 12 images - that's 96 images total.

Because of this, when importing a sheet, RMVX will automatically divide the WIDTH of the image by 12, and the HEIGHT of the image by 8.
If you go and import an image that's not divisible by 8/12, or have a set of images that don't divide cleanly into those 96 cells, you're going to run into issues.

If editing sprites into this grid sounds like hard work - THAT'S BECAUSE IT IS. RPG Maker makes some coding easier, but making a game - especially a good game - is NEVER easy.

Ok i think i understand little better now,guess I'll have to try making my own or look for some on sites,or just do with what i got,but yea its not easy...and I'm still new to it to be honest,but i see now they have to have certain height and width for them to work,Thanks for your help.If i may ask tho what are the sprites on this website used for or what kind of games?,or what can i use them for or if anything to do with RPG Maker XP,or something else.
