hello everyone.
for the life of me, i cannot comprehend how to animate npcs in cave story.
im trying to animate an npc [balrog] in game with <ANP using SDE [sky dragon editor] and sadly, i cannot make him stop being a flashing mess.
is there something im doing wrong? i have zero idea. im trying to learn from scratch with google and sheer will so thats probably a factor to this.
what im trying to do is get balrog to come into a room and take sue away, then go up to leave the screen.
ive not even accomplished one part of this plan.

i give my thanks to any people coming to give me help and advice and happy new year.
attached is the cave story "mod" ive made

I already see the problem, you need to plug his bitmap for "NPC Set 2", so instead of Npc0, it should be saying NpcBllg.

It's probably useful to check on which spritesheet the npc loads its graphics with in the NPC Table.
