Critters frames - running configuration hardcoded?

Green circles show walking steps, the red line shows what's probably the cause of my sadness.

As it seems on this screen, running-frames-per-hex configuration for critters is hardcoded and cannot be changed. That mostly means no geckos will ever run on FOnline, as their animations are totally glitching with the current configuration. Can someone confirm that? Is there any way to solve that issue? Are we condemned to see geckos running just as if they all had a broom in the ass?

Thanks in advance for answers.

Of course they will. ;)

Running gecko animation

There were pictures for running gecko in that FRM. What was needed to be done is to reduce anim pictures to 8 and move them so there are 2 pics for each Hex. Have a look at original and my FRM, so you know what I mean. ;)

Well, we'd need silver and fire geckos as well, ideally xD

I plan to do them, too, just don't know when.

Well, take you time. You can be sure we'll use them as soon as they're ready. And that we may ask you to do a similar operation of the grey Deathclaws, if you agree of course.

Well, I am more of a scripter than a "frame designer" as you can also see on the gecko animation (it would need some improvement), so I won't probably do it. :)
