By default RPG Maker MV uses some default spread sheets for character on map animations. For example the 3x4 sheet for walking. I find these animations very limited in frames and choppy. I am looking to create my own animations with twice or three times as many frames as the default animations. Assuming I can create the sprite sheets using the tools like Spriter, how do you programmatically wire these sheets to the game? Is this something you do with a plug-in or you can easily achieve this programmatically in Javascript? I am looking to do this for all NPCs in the game as well.

Plugins are javascript files, and there are already several plugins for more frames available.

Apparently links from (some?) web searches are not working properly since the update. However, the search functionality on the forum seems greatly improved. Try searching for "Character Frames" in the post title and you should be able to find plugins ready to go. (Make sure the plugin is for RM MV!) I know that Shaz and Galv have both made plugins for this, and there may be more.

I did search the forum for character frames but it gave me a lot of recent forum posts with people asking questions in other RPG Maker platforms. Thank you for pointing me to Galv MV plugin. This is exactly what I was looking for. I am just wondering, does this plugin allow me to enhance NPC animations as well?

Just beat the last of us 2 last night and starting jedi: fallen order right now, both use unreal engine & when I say i knew 80% of jedi's buttons right away because they were the same buttons as TLOU2 its ridiculous, even the same narrow hallway crawl and barely-made-it jump they do. Unreal Engine is just big budget RPG Maker the way they make games nearly identical at its core lol.
