heh ok we have to redo the tile set... this time do it w/transparent background, and if you could please provide me with grid lines so that I know exactly where to "draw" the crop box, cause w/o it, the individual states of the animation are varied so the finished product "shakes" around lol. other than that it works great, but b/c of these 2 things it looks very strange, it has a green outline cause color removal misses a few pixels here and there, and some are even blened in w/the graphic itself somehow, and the shaking thing is just too odd.
or you can cut me 7 more animated gifs, since we already have "facing south", this would be even better, but dunno how much work that is compared to redoing the tile set.
on the bright side once we get the process down pat we can then apply the process to future sprites, and it'll go much smoother.
