I'm using Modern Algebra's Custom Movement Frames script for VX, but I seem to have a problem.
Any VX sprites change every time I take a step or turn a direction. I'm thinking this might be an incompatibility problem, but I can't be sure. Here are the scripts I'm using:
-Woratana's Save Confirmation
-Woratana's NMS2
-Kylock's Slanted Bars
-Near's 8 Way Movement (which does not edit the charset, incase you're wondering.)
-Dargor's Advanced Title
-VX Particle Engine by Anaryu and Yaoumei
-Ducktor's Jump Implementation
-Synthesize's RMVX Battle Backgrounds (Here: http://www.rmrevolution.com/160/battle-backgrounds/)
-Woratana's Character's Textbox
-Dargor's Scroll Menu
For those of you who are not familliar, this is the script. Explanations on what this does and how to use it are inside, all credit goes to Modern Algebra:
Please help! :sad:

#==============================================================================
# Extra Movement Frames v. 1.0
# Author: modern algebra (rmrk.net)
# Date: January 20, 2008
#------------------------------------------------------------------------------
# Instructions:
# Insert this script above main in the database. To add a character with
# extra movement frames, simply rename the character graphic to something
# of the form:
# !$%[<number of movement frames>]<Regular name>
#
# Example: !$%[4]001-Fighter01
# That would make the graphic 001-Fighter01 be interpreted as having 4 frames
#------------------------------------------------------------------------------

# new class variables - height divisor, width divisor
# new methods - calculate_divisors
