You released a modified version of a file, and you don't know what it does?

Roughly speaking, the following are the main functions of the .ini

1. Set sequences for graphics to be called from.
2. Set a default frame rate for animated sequences.
3. Set the "center" of sequences and/or frames, with regards to the upper left corner of the pics.
4. Set the size and shape of hardboxes of sequences and/or frames.
5. Set the damaging frame in attack animations.

3 and 4 are unique because they can be accomplished with set_sprite_info (or whatever) as well as load_sequence (or whatever)

5 is unique because it is done by set_frame_special.

Redink wrote a piece on this somewhere.
