Instructions
Instructions are in the script.

FAQ
Awaiting question.

Compatibility
I'm not sure if it's compatible with any battle-related scripts or the SDK. Aliases Spriteset_Battle's initialize.

OOOOOoooo, I like what youve done with this. This makes alot more options for battle backs, without having to make lots more, and it can be set for individual troops... SWEET!
