Tyhm has a spectacular aura about
Don't know if this was ever actually added:
A return to Sprite access.
So you can show a gani starting at frame 32, or perhaps Only showing frame 32. Make things seamless with a minimum of additional files - you're walking, midstep you swing your sword so it throws in a transitional frame out of the big Walking_Swinging gani, does the sword-swing-animation, then throws in another transitional and you resume walking...as a rather poor example, but hopefully it gets the point across. Really I want to use it so I can have a few options for ganis with all the rotations I need for ANOTHER gani and call the roto-ganis from within the main gani...so your character is walking, and his hands are RotoGani_[Param1], Sprite 1, etcetera...no matter what he's holding.

's a thought.
