SUGGESTION: diagonal loops like normal loops

[Besh]

Diagonal loops should be used like normal loops (up,down,right and left).

For instance, if they contain only one frame, it should be used not only for character turning but also for the walk animation.

What about giving 2 frames to each of these loops where the first frame and the second frame use the same sprite?
If it's a loop used for character standing/walking it's never advisible to give only one frame in a loop, it's recommended that each loop at least contains 2 frames, if the walking image is to be identical to the standing one just assign the same sprite to both frames.

[Besh]

yes, OK ...but...
why to deal the same thing in two different ways?

[Gilbert]

I think it's even cooler in current implementation, it's by design I think, that if you left out the walking frames you only use the diagonal first frames for turning and facing location, if you really need to use diagonal walking frames, what's the problem with adding additional frames using same sprites?
I think it's treated similarly when you left out the up/down walking frames.

OK!!Ã, 
It's only a suggestion!!!

Yes, this was a specific request to allow you to have smoother turning without having to draw 8 directional walking animations.
