HALF KAISER BATTLER PROJECT

[DerVVulfman]

FOLDER AND POSE NAMES DEFINED

For developmental purposes, as well as compatibility with the Layered Spritesheet Tool, there are defined certain constants.  These constants are the names of the folders which hold the graphics within the Layered Spritesheet Tool, and the default names of the 49 individual poses within each spritesheet resource.

Within the editor, you may change the names of the poses as you see fit, knowing that it is a name change in your editor alone. However, the contents of these poses remain the same.

Please take some time to examine the names of both the folders and poses, and the intended purposes of each.

* Notes regarding the folders:
With the advent of Layered Battler Tool v 1.9, which was continued in Layered Spritesheet Tool 2.0, you can have Male and Female subfolders within each of these folders.  These allow the separation of your graphics, and allows you to switch between the tool with the gender buttons built into the revised tool.

The gender subfolders are not required, but available and recommended to keep things more orderly.

* Notes regarding idle animations:
Idle animations are typically of two types, one that is animated with four frames of animation played in concert while the other is one single frame copied over three more times.  So the animated pose could be considered frame-1, frame-2, frame-3, frame-4 while the static one would be frame-1, frame-1, frame-1, frame-1.  Fairly simple and easy (if a bit monotonous) to sprite for.

However, there is a second idle animation style that appears (such as pose #2: General Moving 2 and pose #10: Heavy Moving 2).  This is a side-to-side rocking pose.  It uses the same basic frames as the first animated idle pose, but lacking the first frame itself.  It is set up using a frame-2, frame-3, frame-4, frame 3 design.
