[Bug] Multi-part creature animations show visible lines

[Bug] Multi-part creature animations show visible lines between the sections

 

What is currently happening
Multi-part creature animations show visible lines between the sections

What should be happening
Multi-part creature animations should not show visible lines between the sections

Steps to reproduce the bug

1. Start a new BGEE game with a default character
2. CLUA in a large wyvern:  C:CreateCreature("wyvern")
3. Zoom in
4. Notice the visible lines between the sections of the creature animation

If available, a fix
Place the attached BAMs in the override folder
See that the visible lines are gone

Notes

• Because the EEs allow BAM frame dimensions larger than 255x255 px, this issue can be fixed by recombining the split animations into the top left section's BAM and blanking the BAM frames for the other sections.  Fixing the issue in that way does not require an engine fix or modifying the animations' INI files.

 

• This also fixed bad frame offsets on 5 frames of the large wyvern animation.

Before:

After:

• This should cover BGEE, SoD, and BG2EE.  If I've missed anything (PSTEE?), please let me know.  I'm also happy to convert mod-added animations if they are brought to my attention.
