Maximum Frames per State

[kairunotabi]

Does each state limit the number of frames you could use? Does a custom state also have a limit to the number of frames it can handle?

Here's what I observed so far:

State: Standing
Max Frames: 4

State: Walking
Max Frames: 4

State: Running
Max Frames: 3

State: Jumping
Max Frames: 5

in general, with basic moves, frames are limited, and need to be on a specific frame number, but special moves could contain as much frame as you want(unless they exceed the frame number limit )

States don't have a limit - you can put state 2 (running) on frame 321 and it'd still work; whether it has bugs or not is another issue. However, certain actions are hardcoded to specific frames, and overall you cannot exceed 400 frames (that is, frame 0 - 399).

This is my personal note of important hardcoded frames for type 0 objects aka characters (does not include specific cases like Firzen's frame 290 mix)
I didn't use the standard lingo that Marti used, but you'll understand what I'm typing:

Code:

0 - 0 = standing 5 - 8 = walking 9 - 11 = running 12 - 15 = heavy_walking 16 - 18 = heavy_running 19 - 19 = heavy stop_run 20 - 20 = light1 25 - 25 = light2 30 - 30 = jump_light 35 - 35 = run_light 40 - 40 = dash_light 45 - 45 = throw light 50 - 50 = heavy_throw 52 - 52 = air throw light 55 - 55 = drinking 60 - 60 = punch1 65 - 65 = punch2 70 - 70 = superpunch 80 - 80 = jump atk 85 - 85 = run atk 90 - 90 = dash atk 94 - 94 = landing (state 100) 100 - 100 = Rowing Standard 102 - 102 = Rolling 108 - 108 = Rowing Back 110 - 110 = Defend (turning, goes into 111) 111 - 111 = hit_defend (goes into 111) 112 - 112 = broken_defend 115 - 115 = Wpn_Pickup 116 - 116 = Heavy_Pickup 180 - 185 = Falling std, trajectory-based //182 flip 186 - 191 = Falling bck, trajectory-based //188 flip (default) 200 - 202 = ice (has hardcoded ice property) 203 - 206 = fire (trajectory-based; 203 204 rising, 205 206 falling) 210 - 210 = Jump 212 - 212 = Jumping (if from next: 212, automatically apply jump stats. if from 999 don't apply.) 213 - 214 = dash (213/216 & 214/217) 215 - 215 = crouch1 (from state 6 or jump, hit D to roll) 216 - 217 = dashback (213/216 & 214/217) 218 - 218 = stop_run 219 - 219 = crouch2 (default landing) 220 - 220 = injure (fall 1-20) 222 - 222 = injure2 (fall 21-40) 224 - 224 = injure2 back (fall 21-40) 226 - 229 = DOP (fall 41-60) 230 - 230 = lying //hit_front (face up) 231 - 231 = lying2 //hit_back (face down); default 245 - 245 = Transformback

I only included the starting frame for some cases, because in those cases only the starting frame matters.
"95 dash_defend", "207 tired" and "399 dummy" are never used in the game.

I didn't include 120-123 "catching", 130-144 "picked_caught" and 232-234 "throw_lying_man" frames, because LF2's catching mechanics are actually custom frames, not hardcoded defaults. Notably, picked caught 133-144 are all just to accommodate Louis' whirlwind throw.

What is the 245 Transformback thing?

What is the 245 Transformback thing?

When Rudolf transforms back into his original form with DJA, he will go to frame 245.
