Custom RMMV Battler Sprites Assistance

[masterschief]

Hello all. I'm using custom sprites in my game and my main issue I'm running into is that I'd like to use different sprites for each weapon the player equips. The problem is, I can't find a plugin that supports that.

Currently, I am using VE (Victor Engine)'s Battler Graphic Setup for more detailed battler sprites, but I'm still limited to the 13 default sprite animations. Is there a plugin that exists that allows me to go beyond the default side view sprite animation count for custom attack animations?

In the image attached the sprite has the weapon the player can equip in game. And I'd like a different sprite for when the player doesn't have that specific gun.

I just finished a plugin that should help you out. Here it is:

 /*:
 * @plugindesc This plugin allows you to automatically change an actor's

 *
 * This plugin will change the 'sv_actor' image tied to an actor
 * anytime they equip a weapon according to the ID of the weapon.
 *
 * The weapon's ID is found in your database.
 *
 * Simply name an 'sv_actor' file the ID of the weapon.
 *
 * Example: You just created a weapon called 'Iron Sword' and it has ID 26 in
 * the database. Create an 'sv_actor' image in '/img/sv_actors' called 26.png.
 * Anytime an actor equips that weapon, their entire 'sv_actor' sheet will
 * change to 26.png.

Game_Actor.prototype.changeEquip = function(slotId, item) {


    // console.log("before "+$gameActors._data[1]._battlerName)
    // console.log("item.id = " + item.id)
    // console.log("setting new sv to "+item.id.toString())
    $gameActors._data[1]._battlerName = item.id.toString()
    // console.log("after "+$gameActors._data[1]._battlerName)

    //console.log("item.id = " + item.id)//
    if (this.tradeItemWithParty(item, this.equips()[slotId]) &&
            (!item || this.equipSlots()[slotId] === item.etypeId)) {
        this._equips[slotId].setObject(item);
        this.refresh();
    }
};

// var obj = JSON.parse(yourObject);
// console.log(obj);

// exampleObj = {'a':1,'b':2,'c':3};
// console.log(JSON.stringify(exampleObj));


Game_Actor.prototype.changeEquipById = function(etypeId, itemId) {


    // console.log("before "+$gameActors._data[1]._battlerName)
    // console.log("itemId = " + itemId)
    // console.log("setting new sv to "+itemId.toString())
    $gameActors._data[1]._battlerName = itemId.toString()
    // console.log("after "+$gameActors._data[1]._battlerName)
 
    var slotId = etypeId - 1;
    if (this.equipSlots()[slotId] === 1) {
        this.changeEquip(slotId, $dataWeapons[itemId]);
    } else {
        this.changeEquip(slotId, $dataArmors[itemId]);
    }
};

This plugin is really only suitable for changing one actor's image, since it changes the entire sv_actor sheet, you cannot use it for 2 different actors.
