Pony Fantasy VI Remake

A sprite ID can be a whole sheet, yes, however, Owzer, for instance, actually uses one sprite ID for each half. By expanding one sheet to contain both halves, 1 ID can be freed up and used for something else. But as I said, vanilla Owzer is actually 79 and 80 sprite IDs. (Don't have the list in front of me, it might be 78 and 79, regardless its two consecutive IDs in use). usME displays Owzer as one whole sprite though with only 1 ID number, which, yes shifts all of the following sprites ahead 1 ID higher than what usME shows them as.

All that is until you get up to about ID 87 or so and it starts doing all sorts of funny stuff.

Take the 4Ton weight for instance. To display it properly in the game it is sprite ID 97, facing North, with 8.4 check box checked. Even in LE it still shows up as a glitched slave crown, yet correctly in game. That's also about the same ID range that usME starts showing "blank" sprite IDs, yet all of those I've tested in that area all have a sprite in game that uses those ID numbers and some sort of special formatting to display properly. Once you get up to the crane and elevator platform and some of those others up near the top... I have no clue never looked to hard into it.

All that being said, if you expand those sheets, like Owzer, into full size sheets, then you can place two of the same sprite ID, and have his left half facing North, right half facing South and get the full Owzer from one ID, yet vanilla doesn't do it that way.

The others, like the 4ton weight, flowers, envelope, etc can be turned into normal sprite sheet format and used like any other sprite (least as far as I could ever prove) but I still never figured out why those "blanks" were there at all. Cause the ID definatly isn't empty.

Not saying I'm absolutely correct in my findings, or my explination, but the one thing I can be mostly sure on, if anything, is there isn't any blank or empty sprite IDs below the 160 range. Maybe up past 200, but not down low as usME shows.
