v1 -

Initial Release

v1.01 -

-Fixed error when using barehanded.
-Fixed the weapon not showing an animation when its Weapon Type's SV motion is undefined.
-Removed the Sprite_Weapon.prototype.initMembers overwrite function as there was no point to it
and it made certain plugins incompatible.
-WeaponSize is integrated but most likely not in working condition.
Use at your discretion.

v1.1 -

- Added WeaponSound. It'll have the weapon play a sound whenever the actor attacks.
- Added WeaponOffset. This allows you to set the position of the weapon.
- WeaponSize actually works as it's supposed to now.
- cleaned up the script a bit to make it easier to read.
- Had no choice but to Overwrite Sprite_Weapon.prototype.update. Fingers crossed that didn't actually do anything negative.

v1.11 hotfix -

- Fixed the weapon position.

v1.12 -

- Changed the frame speed of the weapons so they match the default ones.
- Added WeaponSpeed so you can define your own speed.

v1.13 -

- Made the weapons stay put when you set the offset.

v1.14a -

-Works with animated enemies now.
