Yes, we need SVG for multiple reasons:
1. Vector graphic is superior to bitmap. Vector graphic is a list of lines and curves, it is drawn in actual scale resolution so image is always perfectly sharp. Bitmap, even hi-res, get perfect result only when scaling factor is simple fraction, like 1/2, 1/3, 1/4, ... But that's not my major concern.
2. Vector graphic is very easy to modify. You can simply move any object in the image and you still have any background that was behind. With bitmap, you have only visible pixels. If you move anything (which is PITA to select shape to have exactly all pixels and none others, not mentioning alpha blending effects) you have empty space left and you have to draw anything that was supposed to be behind the object.

I want to use only part of that file. I want to combine animated leg from the old sprite, head with live (blinking) eyes from doggystyle scene file and the rest of the body from Raccoon's file.
Technically, I could remake the same mod myself using body shapes from doggystyle file, but that would be stupid when someone already done that.
