Also of note, ID got sneaky with some of the character
animations. They realized that most of the daemons have perfect bilateral
symetry so they condensed the graphics. (or TROOA2A8 is the sprite for
the imp moving diagonally towards you both left and right.) While this is
great for reducing the WAD size, it makes it a pain for those of us who
want to have Imps replacement sprites without symetry...

--------------------
You may replace XXXXA2A8 with XXXXA2 and XXXXA8. You may even
mix them up (XXXXA3A7 and XXXXA2A8 --> XXXXA3A8 and XXXXA2A7).
You should be able to mix between states (XXXXA2B5). There are
only few restrictions to this, AFAIK:
a) if you are using XXXXY0, you are not allowed to use
any other XXXXY# or XXXXY#Y#
b) if you are using any XXXXY# or XXXXY#Y# ( # = 1,2,...8),
you have to satisfy *all* eight views (separately or
mirrored).
c) it is not possible to have more than one XXXXY# for each #.
d) for animated items, all states of the animation cycle have
to be present.
It's up to you how many of the max. 8 views you want to use.
You have to edit the IWAD, though. Or use a complete sprite
replacement PWAD with different entries.
