Thanks for the details, they've been helpful.

What I really am trying to do is make it so that every export is exported as a single spritesheet, with the animations in a consistent order, and the frames being a consistent size. This happens by default for everything, except when I add an oversized weapon, and it ends up exporting individual sheets.

What I will probably end up doing is turning that "export_large_sheets" option to "always", so that it always exports individual sheets, and then create a script to combine the individual sheets into a single sheet with a consistent frame size.

Please let me know if you are aware of some settings configuration that will allow for what I am attempting.

Yes, turn "export_large_sheets" to "always" - this is responsible for outputting ONLY spritesheets with "type": "single". These are those oversized spritesheets with frame size 192x192 that will export individually when you have weapon on, one sheet for slash, walk, etc....

Open lpc.layout file and in the very first spritesheet with "name": "universal" change the value of "type" from "universal" to "single", just as is shown in my previous screenshot (highlighted part in the notepad on the right). This will export that default big spritesheet, but in oversized format,

Turn all the other animations to "type": "universal".
Now your export should be only one big spritesheet with oversized frames, regardless if you have equipped oversized weapon or none at all, or if you export the full equipped character or only a piece of armor, or only a weapon with hidden body.

However, that default spritesheet does not have "smash", "whip" and "fish" animations. You will have to add them to the "frames" yourself if you want them in that same single sheet. This is where you can change the layout of your spritesheet, if you want to make your own. Just be careful about commas and typos, or the app will crash. Doesn't hurt to backup the whole data folder.

Wow Platiname. I'm speechless.

Thanks for the amazing feedback, and thanks for answering this question (probably better than I would).

I had to give my attention to other matters for a couple of weeks and than this happens.

Bow to you good sir for making this thing. Looking forward for future updates.

If I may, I'd suggest you add option to show body accesories (such as hair, beard, ears, wings, bloody eye, ... ) when "Show Body" option is unchecked. 

Addition of grayscale palette or "white color" to each item would be cool. It would open up an option to have items in any color people want via modulation.

The first suggestion is easy enough to implement, but I particularly like the second ideia. A grayscale palette sounds very cool indeed.

Gonna start fiddling with that....
