Animation length workarounds

Hiya! First time poster here.

I've known about OpenBOR for a while but only recently I've started looking into what it can do.
Since I've been playing Guilty Gear recently, I thought it would be a decent project to cobble together a playable Sol into a level.
Looking into BOR's data folder, the <character>.txt file claims that an animation may only have 32 frames of animation.
My question is: is there any way to circumvent this, like a "linking" of multiple animations or some frame extension proprieties?  I've given a quick readthrough of any resource I could, but  I didn't find anything of the sort. Plus, ARCSYS' animations are pretty detailed and fluid, and I don't want to have choppy animations.

If there is no way then I'll just use Guilty Gear Petit's sprites, lol.

Thank you!

Rudie-Radio-Waves,

Welcome to the forum. That's an old module... like, more than 12 years. Just use an up to date engine. Watch out though, because there is still a frame limit: 2.1 billion. To be precise, 2,147,483,647 frames per animation. Let us know if that's not enough and you still need a workaround.  ;)

In all seriousness, be careful trying to follow old documentation. There's a ton of outdated (or just plain wrong) information out there. Things are much, MUCH easier than they used to be. Case in point, there is no need for a universal palette for models - every entity in play gets its own 256 color palette, and there's no practical limit to total colors on screen.

See my edits above - there's a lot of other changes you'll want to be aware of. It's a whole different world than the stuff you you dug up. :)

Just an fyi when I google the manual it points to an outdated one and not the one pinned.

By the way is there an offline downloadable manual available somewhere?

PS VITA I STRONGLY not suggest you to make this. You can download an outdated manual and keep it forever. Unless you keep checking the updates.
You can download the manual as PDF.
