thnfsh Posted December 2, 2020 Posted December 2, 2020 Been trying to make animated chest armor, but it only shows the idle stance. If you move at all the armor doesn't display at all. Before I spend even more time on this, is it even possible to change the chest.frame files to use the animation tiles? It seems like it should be pretty easy, but I am new to all this so I could have missed something.

Wigglebutt Posted December 10, 2020 Posted December 10, 2020 I don't know if you can alter the chest piece frames. -BUT what other animators have done is to figure out that the leg sprite can cover the upper torso too. So in the case of Skittles Outfit Modpack on Steam Workshop for example, there's an outfit that sparkles when your character moves. He achieves this by leaving the chest.png empty, and drawing the entire top and bottom part of the outfit onto the pants.png, and animating it there. The chestpiece only adds sleeves while the legpiece is more of a bodysuit. This would be the most straightforward way of doing it with the game's code the way it is.
