To be altered
There are 5 head frames: North, South, East, West, and Death.
[[Image:Layers-j.png|150px|thumb|right|Playerset layering.]]
Playerset sprites are divided into these layers: [[http://forums.themanaworld.org/viewtopic.php?p=72201#p72201 *]]
* Eyes
* Head
* Upper Body (torso and arms)
* Lower Body (underwear and legs)
 
 
Mirroring is used.
 
An XML Flip-H and Flip-V tag would eliminate the need for mirrored frames, thereby reducing sheet size.<br>

An XML tag could also help make hair fit helmets.<br>
No such fix is implemented as of 2010-038.


== Known Flaws ==
== Known Flaws ==
The playerset is not at a 45 degree angle.<br>
So many in current.
The sit frame is bad.
 
== What About a Class System? ==
The Mana World Development Team has repeatedly rejected a class system:
