Greetings! First f all I need to know, what is exact frame quantity limit? I mean do they need to be exactly 8 frames or can be i.e. from 6 up to 12 frames or 10? Just to know how many keyframes I can put into. If need exactly 8 - no problem, I'll try to adopt accurately.
I think it's a good idea to update a such variation. It can be very handy for old devices, for designation of world map events, for step-by-step or chess games and monster points like in Heroes 3. I'll try to do updates, but you need to be patient - this can take a piece of time, keep finger on pulse.
