Does Dont Starve use Spriter files directly?

[RedRock911]

I'm asking because I have someone helping with a problem I had with one of my mods, As I understand it, he can help me tweak my animations the way I want them, however it comes at a price.

 

The way he animates is through the use of bones and deformation, which  DS doesnt support. So ...quoting "You will be able to open and play animations in spriter but im using bones and deformation so you wont be able to use animations directly from spriter files in your engine, you would have to export single frames and then use those frames in your game engine"

 

I'm not even sure if that would work. I know nothing about animation. If any forum giants know if this would be worth my time, please let me know.

i used bones and deformations in my don't starve mod, and it worked, soo you can do it with no problem!

By deformations, you mean scaling? DS uses that! Bones, not so sure, I think you have to remove them when done.
