LT-Maker Battle Animation Fixes Archive

As someone who works only with LT-Maker, I’ve noticed that when importing battle animations, some animations can act weird in engine or cause games made with the engine to crash, so I’m compiling a list of animations that need fixing and the changes needed to make them work. I’ve only found a handful that need fixes myself, so if any other LT devs find more, please post here as well!

Animations that cause game crashes and/or freezing are marked by asterisks (*)!

Animations in the engine’s included default project

**Halberdier [M] by TheBlindArcher** (Note: This also includes the Female variant)

Lance
Problem: RangedLance Critical causes crash
Solution: Remove “Start Normal Hit Routine”

Thief-Base [M] Vanilla FE7 Matthew (Note: This also includes the Female variant)

Sword
Problem: Sword Miss is delayed before MISS! is displayed and is just generally janky.
Solution: Move “Miss” after the first “Display Frame” with frame “Sword_36” and lower the “Display frame” with frame “Sword_14” from 30 to 3.

Wyvern Lord [U] by TheBlindArcher

Axe
Problem: Axe Attack is delayed for a short while before hit lands.
Solution: Lower number of frames on “Display Dual Frame” (the one before “Start Normal Hit Routine”) from 14 to 4
Problem: Weapon sound effect plays before hit lands rather than after.
Solution: Move the “Play Sound (Weapon Woosh)” command that’s between “Start Hit Routine” and “Wait for End of Normal Hit Routine” after “Display Dual Frame”

Animations in the repository

Cavalier-Variant [M] Generic by SALVAGED v2

Sword
Problem: Animation has a black background when imported.
Solution: Change each frame’s background color to anything that’s not the hex code #000000. (Yes, EVERY frame. I’m so sorry.)

Griffon [U] Arbalest Repal by Eldritch

Lance
Problem: Lance Miss shows “MISS!” and “NO DAMAGE” layered on top of each other.
Solution: Remove “Show Hit Spark”

**Griffon [U] v1 Repal by Maiser6**

Sword
Problem: Sword Attack and Sword Critical freezes
Solution: Swap the positions of “Start Normal Hit Routine” and “Wait for End of Normal Hit Routine”

**Griffon [U] Griffon v2 SoA by Ayr**

Sword
Axe
Problem: Sword Miss and Axe Miss shows “MISS!” and “NO DAMAGE” layered on top of each other. Also crashes the game.

Not a big deal but just clairification, this animation edit specifically was made by TheBlindArcher. Not IS.

Hey folks, long time no post! These animations were reported by a couple of users in the LT-Maker Discord. Thanks for the heads-up!

I’ve also taken the time to divide up the OP by animations that are packaged with LT-Maker by default and all other animations found in the repository. Animations that cause crashes/freezing are also clearly marked!
