One more barely-relevant question: Could you possibly make a plugin that can do what this plugin does but for battle scenes, instead of just on the map? Like, make it possible to use separate frame animations and/or animations during battles that aren't limited to RPG Maker's standard sprite sheet sizes? Those Crunch Pix animations I was referring to have some really pretty effects, but they're in a wild variety of sizes and resolutions, and I had quite a headache trying to reformat them with various cheap softwares that I tried out... A lot of them ending up shrinking the frames so much that I couldn't really use them. I already tried using this plugin of yours in an Action Sequence and it didn't seem to do anything, which didn't surprise me -- I don't know the first thing about coding, but I imagine it requires a totally different process from what goes on during map gameplay.

Omg I'm sorry for the late reply. I replied to your comment 2 days ago but now that I'm checking again, it wasn't here!!
For a plugin to display animation in battle, I'm afraid I don't have much experience with the RPG Maker built in combat system. There's someone already make a plugin for that on RPG Maker Web forum but I don't remember the name of said plugin.
