Composite Characters + 8-way directional movement?

So, basically I want to know if there is a way to make Modern Algebra's Composite Characters script  http://rmrk.net/index.php?topic=28124.0 compatible with Kylock's 8-way directional movement script.
Sure, they do already work together as is, but not when you want to display a second spriteset, which represents your hero facing in diagonal directions(upperleft, upperright, lowerleft, lowerright) featured in the 8-directional script.

Here's basically what I want:

Let's say I'd equip an armor to my hero, that armor is shown on him as normally like the script lets me, but then when I move in a diagonal direction, the game will automatically change my heros graphic to a specified spriteset. At the same time the script will read what armor I'm wearing, and based on that armor change the armors graphic to a specified ID or something, or maybe just jump to the next character index(character_index + 1). Now it'll look like the hero is wearing the same armor even when moving in diagonal directions. (Ofcourse, change it back to normal again when conditions are no longer being met.)

If this could be done, or not, let me know. I really wanna know this.   

Also, here is Kylocks 8 Way Directional Movement script.(Credit Kylock)

# 8 Way Directional Movement
#------------------------------------------------------------------------------
# Kylock
# 21.3.2008
# Version 1.1
#==============================================================================
# Special thanks to Arrow-1 for the script request and supplying sprites for
#   testing purposes.
#==============================================================================
# Instructions:
#    Add this script towards the top, since methods are rewritten and not
#      aliased.  Once you add it and run your game, the script will
#      automagically enable 8-way directional movement for your hero.
# Features:
#    * Added movement functionality to allow your hero to move in diagonal
#        directions
#    * Corrects directional issues resulting from trying to activate events
#        while facing a diaganol direction. (could be better implemented,
#        but does work as it is)
#==============================================================================

Yeah, right. Seems like nobody gives a d*mn about this thread ;P
But anyways, I've been working a bit on Kylocks script and thought I'd post a little update of it here. It doesn't have anything related to Composite Characters as I pretty much suck at scripting:P But it does however lets you to be able to use eighter a single spritesheet or a 12x4 tile spritesheet to display diagonal movement. It's useful if you're using Tankentai SBS, see in the script for more information. I've also aliased methods with Mm12's footstep script so that footsteps will now play when moving in any direction.
And yeah, these may seem pretty useless, but I thought it'd be cool to post an update of this pretty old but still awsome script:)

PS. Sorry if my english suck, it's not my native language, lol:P

# Version 1.2
#==============================================================================
# Special thanks to Arrow-1 for the script request and supplying sprites for
#   testing purposes.
#==============================================================================
# Instructions:
#      This script MUST be placed BELOW Miget Man12's Footstep Script if it's in
#      use, or you will recieve an error.
#     
#      Place this script near the top since it overwrites methods rather than
#      aliases them.
#      Once you add it and run your game, the script will automagically enable
#      8-way directional movement for your hero.
#     
# Features:
#    * Added movement functionality to allow your hero to move in diagonal
#        directions
#    * Corrects directional issues resulting from trying to activate events
#        while facing a diaganol direction. (could be better implemented,
#        but does work as it is)
#    * Version 1.2- Now compatible with Mm12's Footstep Script aswell as letting
#       you be able to use both single spritesheets and 12x6 tiles spritesheets.
#       Using the single one with the('$')sign put infront could come to handy
#       when using Tankentai SBS, in order to avoid an ugly 'bug'. Remember that
#       you must have a file with the same name as your character +"_dir_eight".
#       
#     # Example: Hero_dir_eight
#
#       Note that this isn't needed when using a 12x6 tiles spriteset, as the
#       script will simply just jump over to the next character_index.
#==============================================================================
# Changelog
#  1.0 Initial Release
#  1.1 Added support for no custom sprites and added compatibility with
#        Anaryu's Anti-Lag script (must be loaded above the anti-lag script)
#  1.2 Added compability with Mm12's Footstep Script when 'DIRSPRITE's enabled,
#       meaning that the footstep_se will be playing as you move in any direction.
#        I also rewrote the old update_src_rect method in order to make it possi-
#        ble to use both singular and non-singular spritesheets, read above for
#        more information.

PPS. Tell me if you find any bugs, althogh I'm pretty sure there isn't.
