[Mr. Bubble 116]

Since this is a small script, I will keep it up, but please try to translate script comments to English in future submissions. Thanks.

[ShinGamix 101]

I translated it for you Mr. Bubble @ Melosx

I have a question

I'm pretty sure you can use XP chars in VX

without having a script by adding a "!$" at the beginning of the name?

[Emerald 42]

This way, you don't have to change them. Vx (ace) sprites use 3 walking frames, while XP sprites use 4.

So now I have a $xptestchar.png, but it's not working.

Script is over main and under materials.

[Melosx 27]

the script work in game not in the database... In thedatabase and in the event you see the chara not correctly but in game it's ok...

@ShinGamix: Thank you for the translation... I update the first post...

[Ginolamantino 6]

Good job as always Melosx! If you ever need I can translate your scripts and comments for you.

[Melosx 27]

Thank you gino... If I need help with translation I ask to you
