Tweaking the animation - status update
Added 2018-01-08 13:54:22 +0000 UTCDecided to make a post and keep you informed about animation tweaking progress. I wasted half a day in the experiments but managed to lower the stutter in the animation start by pre-loading all the pictures in transparent mode. This softened the starting sequence but the delay is still there. Further dividing of pre-loading into a greater amount of steps doesn't help - guess I reached the limit for RPG Maker's capabilities.
As a side note, lowering resolution or number of frames completely removes the stutter but it's not an option for LoC. Watching scenes in 816x624 while the rest of the game is in 1280x720 is a no go.
This means I have the partial fix for the upcoming hotfix version to improve animation start but I'm still working on the complete solution. One of the animation plugins for RPG Maker MV will get an update soon and I'm working with its creator to test it and check if the plugin can help with my problem.
