    So today @Becca awarded me with this AWESOME nx weapon that I wanted for AGES for winning the christmas tree event
    It looks great while standing, walking, fighting. but when you decide to sit down, this happens:

    For whatever reason, the sword is placed awkwardly in front of your face, and burning your hair at the top lol.

    I would like to suggest a small fix for this so that this weapon won't look so awkward when sitting down.
    Using maples.im , I managed to make a simple setup that would probably look nicer for sitting down:
    fix to azula katana.PNG

    The katana is placed in the layer underneath the character, in frame [1] of the animation (swing 01). [there's no azula katana in there cause i think its a custome weapon for royals, so i used flame katana and changed the hue for the sake of this presentation]
    Using already existing frames of this sword, like the swing frames, would allow for a quick fix, cause there won't be any need for redrawings, or new frames

    I hope that this change is doable :D

    Btw, if it must be in the front due to some client limitation, then something like this would look nice as well:

    [but ideally, the sword in the back would look better, imo]

    Agreed! current position obscures most of the character, and new positions should be looked at.

    @Joong can you please confirm if a fix like that is doable? And, is the current sitting animation a bug, or was it intended to look that way?

    (btw, if there's no way to edit which frame would be used for the sitting frame, i think even disabling the weapon would be better than how it looks right now)

    It's possible. Don't know why it is like that in the first place, but I will discuss it.

    Seems like there is no sitting animation anymore which I find worse then before... I was expecting something @LichWiz was recommending

    Can we get some thoughts on this? Personally I would rather have it reverted if there will be no sitting animation...

    I want it either as a better looking solution (like the ones suggested at OP), or just leave it as nothing, because how it was at the start looked TERRIBLE.
