Introduction
For those using an Animated Battler script that needs a battler with a single row of mutiple poses like the Minkoff style. This script lets you convert battler graphics from RPGMaker MV and RPGMaker 2003 formats for use.
Features
Hopefully simple to use
Keeps the alpha channel(transparency) intact
Still a WIP (that's Work in Progress, guys)
Demo
None (yet).

#==============================================================================
# ** Spritesheet Generator Conversion Script
# by DerVVulfman
# 11-20-2018 (mm-dd-yyyy)
#------------------------------------------------------------------------------
#
# How to use?
# Probably the FASTEST instructions I will give.....
#
# First, let's set up the project:
# 1) Copy this script into your Scripts Library
# 2) Make an event on your map. Hey! Put a character there to talk to!!!
# 3) In the event, make a script call: $scene = Scene_SpritesheetConv.new
#
# Now, let's do something:
# 1) Get some non-Minkoffish battler. Like, make it an RMMV battler
# 2) Paste it in this project's root directory. Remmember it's name.
# 3) Go into this script's config and put the file's name in the SOURCE value
# 4) Set the SETSTYLE value to 1 .... that means it will convert an RMMV file
# 5) Run the project and talk to your event to make this script run
#
# That should do it. I'll see about making an interface system later. Maybe
# even something to adjust which pose goes where.
#
#------------------------------------------------------------------------------
#
# A bit of Q&A before I get any...
# --------------------------------
# Q: HEY! My output isn't all lined up!
# A: Did you set it for the right style of battler? (RMMV or RM2K3)
# Q: Yes. It's an RMMV Battler I found and I set SETSTYLE to 1
# A: If some sections are being trimmed or cut off abruptly, the artist
# may not have paid attention to lining up his individual sprite cels.
# Q: Hey, are there any pre-rendered configs for these?
# A: Oh, you mean ... When I release the new version of the script. ^_^

Instructions
They're within the script. But I expect that you only alter the SOURCE, the OUTPUT and the SETSTYLE values in the configuration section. Nothing else should be touched. The source graphics must be placed in the root directory of your project, and the output will show up there when done.
SAMPLE GRAPHIC
Want an example? I made this simple test battler from The Charas Project, and with it...
...and made this.
FAQ
This utilizes a number of features from the MACL, specifically the ZLib PNG system.
Compatibility
I wrote this with RPGMaker XP in mind. However, it may just work with VX and VXAce with a bit of minor tweaking.
Terms and Conditions
Free for use. It's not expected to be in any actual game. It's a tool afterall
