Sprites for CV not showing up?   
Congested

Hello All~ Today, In sprite builder I opened up the Okapi Norn head sprites : a00f, a02f, a04f, a05f, and it seems that some of the sprites are "missing" as in, they're all black. But only some are (the ones that are supposed to be facing the other way). Is this a flaw? A bug? I can't edit them if I can't see them, ya know what I mean? XD

I appreciate any help that I may receive, so thanks.

Odd... Are they showing up like that in game?

No. They're just not showing up in Sprite Builder.

Maybe the devs got lazy, and perhaps they get flipped in game?

Trelly is not good at this sort of thing.

This.

Also, Creatures Village's breeds have really, really large sprites. (Note how large the norns are compared to C3/DS breeds and how many expressions their head-sprites have while they don't use half of them in-game T_T) So you could say that by using those empty sprites and flipping them around in-game, the developers have saved time, as they don't have to shade them all over again, and they've saved space.

Wait, there are unused expressions? Neat.

Indeed, a whole lot of them. I checked out the okapi norns the other day and they had at least 2 expressions for fear and at least 2 for anger. To me it seemed like that they were different levels of the emotions. Like a little bit *insert emotion here* and very much ".

I wonder why they were never used. Perhaps the engine didn't allow it?

They created sprites and engine alongside. It probably just was scrapped at some point, as it'd make the genetics and scripts and all more complicated.

It'd be good if someone could re-implement the unused sprites, along with several other fixes such as making food lacking eat scripts edible, or fixing the in-game music system.

Aye, CV doesn't get enough love in my opinion.
