I noticed that the
left right arm for the east walking animation (red), is the same as the one for the north-east walking animation (purple).
In addition, the south walking left arm (black) is different: the east right arm (red) -in theory- should be like this, just mirrored (not exactly, the order of the sprites is different, but you get the idea).
I'm making a new alien based on the muton sprite, and I'd like to understand if I should fix it, by placing the correct arm in the red row, or leave it like this.
Does the muton's drawing routine take this into account?
-
yes, it is bugged, but not in the way you're describing: those aren't exactly bugs, they're just a bit lazy.
the only major "bug" is one specific arm frame, while walking in a specific direction, is way lower than it should be.
drawing routine 10 accounts for this by moving the arm for that frame, but otherwise it's identical to routine 0.

Thanks.
Could you tell me which arm frame and the offset? So I can fix it directly in my spritesheet and then use routine 0.

Use routine 0 and mind control a muton in random battle. Then you can see it directly.

If Warboy already went through that process and knows the data, I'll gladly hear it. :P
Obviously if the data is somewhat "lost" within a mountain of code, and Warboy doesn't remember and doesn't have time to check, I'll just do what you say.

seems i was wrong, i may simply be misremembering.
the right arm gets offset in the X-axis while walking to the right if not holding a weapon. this refers to the exact sprites you have highlighted in red, so your fix might render that piece of code obsolete

i see thanks.
this is the result of using the "black" arm mirrored, it looks more or less ok.
(i could fix the muton spritesheet too i guess, but it's an asset from the original game, it can't be redistributed can it?)
