		+
		+	== Common Armature Problems and Solutions ==
		+
		+	Here are some common problems and solutions involving armatures.
		+
		+	---
		+
		+	=== Armature FPS Desynchs ===
		+
		+	If multiple entities have Dragonbones armatures and they can perform
		+	animations one after the other and then return to idle, they can desynch
		+	with each other. There's a couple of reasons for this:
		+
		+	<pre>
		+	1. Armature Animation FPS does not divide into 60 cleanly. RPG Maker MZ
		+	issues animation requests on the frame, which means the ordering issue
		+	can be on a non-divisible number for the armature for the Armature.
		+
		+	2. Animation Timelines do not end on divisible by 60 numbers. We know that
		+	not all animations should end on divisible values, but this is still the
		+	cause for desynchronization between two Armatures playing the same
		+	animation one after the other.
		+
		+	3. Sometimes RPG Maker MZ needs to take some time to work out other parts
		+	of the game before continuing. This can be seen when loading new images
		+	and/or textures to display and/or animate. Unfortunately, loading times
		+	are very random and unpredictable to work with, through no fault of the
		+	plugin's, the Armature's, or Dragonbones'. This is just how computers
		+	work. So if you need to ensure entities are synchronized, avoid the
		+	situations where loading pictures or animations are needed.*
		+	</pre>
		+
		+	'''Note''': Naturally, this isn't going to be something that works in battle with all the battle animations being constantly flying about.
		+
		+	---
		+
		+	=== Particles Not Appearing ===
		+
		+	If your armatures use particles, they may or may not appear in-game
		+	depending on how they're rooted for the Armature and use normal blend modes.
		+	Make sure the particles are rooted to the body rather than the anchor. The
		+	supported JavaScript library provided by http://dragonbones.com/ clashes
		+	with Pixi's at times when it comes to handling anchors and blend modes so
		+	they may or may not appear depending on the settings used.
		+
		+	---
		+
		+	=== "Unwanted" Animation Frames ===
		+
		+	If you're creating an Action Sequence and you have your Armature perform a
		+	Dragonbones Animation linked to a motion, you may get "unwanted" animation
		+	frames from the "idle" pose now and then. This is because after the played
		+	Dragonbones animation finishes, a "Motion Refresh" occurs as per RPG Maker
		+	MZ's corescript instructions. This brings the Armature back to "idle". You
		+	can adjust this via the "Idle Bypass" Plugin Parameter.
		+
		+	---
		+
