I got permission from the Author modern algebra to do so.
What i want is that the idle frame is not included in the walking sequenze.
For example:
In the original right now:
Test06%(4 0 1 3 2)
4 frames, idle frame is 0, and the pattern is 0 1 3 2, 0 1 3 2 etc.
What i want is:
Test06%(4 0 1 3 2)
4 frames, idle frame is 0, and the pattern is 1 3 2, 1 3 2 etc.

# Extra Movement Frames
# Version: 1.0.1
# Author: modern algebra (rmrk.net)
# Date: 26 September 2012
#++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
# Description:
#
# This script allows you to import character sprites with more than 3 frames
# for movement animation. In other words, it allows you to animate sprites a
# little more smoothly. One use for it is it allows RMXP format characters to
# be imported directly into a VXA game without editing (although you will need
# to rename the file).
#++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
# Instructions:
#
# Paste this script into its own slot in the Script Editor, above Main but
# below Materials. If you are using my Composite Graphics script, then this
# script must be placed in a slot below Composite Graphics.
#
# To create a sprite with extra movement frames, all you need to do is
# rename the character graphic to something of the form:
#
# Regular_Name%(x)
# where:
# x is the number of frames in each character sprite
#
# EXAMPLES:
#
# $001-Fighter01%(4)
# This graphic is a single character with four frames of animation. [XP]
# 022-Actors12%(6)
# This graphic would be interpreted as a character sheet of 8 characters,
# each having six frames of animation.
#~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
# Additionally, this script also allows you to specify the "idle" frame (the
# frame where the sprite is not moving), and also the pattern if wish to so
# specify. In essence, all you need to do is add those integers after the
# number of frames:
#
# Regular_Name%(x y1 y2 y3 ... yx)
# where:
# x is the number of frames in each character sprite
# y1 is the idle frame (the frame shown when sprite is not moving)
# y2 ... yx are the pattern.
#
# Keep in mind that the first frame in a sprite is index 0, the second frame
# is index 1, etc.
#
# Where y1 is excluded, it is assumed to be 0. Where y2 ... yx are excluded,
# the pattern is assumed to simply cycle through the frames one by one until
# it repeats.
#
# EXAMPLES:
#
# $003-Fighter03%(4 2)
# This graphic is a single character with four frames of animation. The
# idle frame is 2 (the third one over). The pattern when moving would be
# 2 3 0 1, 2 3 0 1, etc.
# 032-People05%(4 0 1 0 3 2 1)
# This graphic would be interpreted as a character sheet of 8 characters,
# each having four frames of animation. The idle frame is 0 (the first
# in the sheet), and the pattern is 0 1 0 3 2 1, 0 1 0 3 2 1, etc.
