Anim name convention for SixFaced and EightFaced

[ZupaleX]

Hello,

 

does someone knows the naming conventions for the SixFaced and eightFaced prefabs? The FourFaced is quite easy to get by just decompiling with krane the anim file of a FourFaced prefab.

However krane cannot decompile any SixFaced orEightFaced prefab anim file because it complains about duplicate anim name in the file.

So if someone knows the conventions to use for the Six and EightFaced anim that would be much appreciated.

 

Thanks!

Ok so I digged in some files and I found the one handling conversion from spriter project to the animation .bin files (Don't Starve Mod Tools\mod_tools\tools\scripts\buildanimation.py)

 

It is quite interesting how there is just 4 directions which are recognized in this file :

FACING_UP, FACING_DOWN, FACING_RIGHT, FACING_LEFT.

 

Then you can see that this script looks for specific strings in the animation file

 

        name = anim_node.attributes["name"].value.encode('ascii')

        

        dirs = (re.search("(.*)_up\Z", name),

                re.search("(.*)_down\Z", name),

                re.search("(.*)_side\Z", name),

                re.search("(.*)_left\Z", name),

                re.search("(.*)_right\Z", name))

        

        facingbyte = FACING_RIGHT | FACING_LEFT | FACING_UP | FACING_DOWN

        

        if dirs[0]:

            name = dirs[0].group(1)

            facingbyte = FACING_UP

        elif dirs[1]:

            name = dirs[1].group(1)

            facingbyte = FACING_DOWN

        elif dirs[2]:

            name = dirs[2].group(1)

            facingbyte = FACING_LEFT | FACING_RIGHT

        elif dirs[3]:

            name = dirs[3].group(1)

            facingbyte = FACING_LEFT

        elif dirs[4]:

            name = dirs[4].group(1)

            facingbyte = FACING_RIGHT

 

 

You can notice how the other directions are absent.

 

Does that imply that it is currently impossible for modders to create SixFaced and EightFaced prefabs?
