Also, it could be based off of how "different" it is from the original .j2a file; the more sprites changed, the bigger the .j2a package file, since the package file only contains the sprites changed.

I've been working on a .JSD format which patches the sprites that have changed, but this is proving to be quite difficult. The first alternative I had considered involved removing all sounds (which reduced anims.j2a to a whopping 2.28mb), but was not very practical.

I was there =D. I have to admit, this is actually a very interesting concept, and I'll probably do some research on this area of sprite modification.

Worst part is, we know how to fix it now and we can't because of a lack of source code and/or UNKNOWNFILE. Maybe we should bug him to return. Or something. :P

It's possible that any sprite from set1 causes damage. I guess the best way to tackle this would be to reduce each frame in set1 to complete nothingness. Regarding the bug-fixing, I don't know much about Unknownfile or his work, but I am extremely fluent in ASM and reverse engineering, and have manually decompiled (by hand) much of the JJ2 binary so I won't comment much on this.
