+The Excel macro can be used to create any TRAM except overlays. [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vDTPYfvMf4M Demo vid here].
-This Excel macro should be rewritten as .NET framework or .NET app because Excel is not freeware.
+The macro should be rewritten as a .NET framework or application because Excel is not freeware. However, the tool was made with XSI in mind (for getting animation pair-based information). As XSI is mostly considered obsolete by the community, research for doing the same with Blender will be needed.

+'''Macro usage:'''
 * Put your files into the "input_and_output" folder.
 * Disable macro security if you don't want to have to click on the "Enable Content" button every time.
 * Close other worksheets before you run the macro.
-* If you are not afraid of VBA code, you can enter the dev environment by hitting Alt+F11. If you want to extend the attack library with more screenshots and settings, search for "LibraryThrows", " LibraryAttack", "Picture", and "CBAttackHelp.AddItem".
