Ok, I have all the animations properly converted to animated gifs. However, this might sound newb but Nefarius, you said to change the background color of the animations to AAAAAA RGB color right? Well, I use Animation Shop Pro, go to View, Controls, New Background color and change it to AAAAAA. But when I resave it, it ALWAYS keeps turning dark red background. If I can just get the background color right, I'm done the animations for them. Any help Nefarius?

ok, I'm having different problems. I change the background color to grey but now, when I play the animations, it's really screwed up...only part of the background is grey, the images get distorted(this is in gif mode), there are still huge outlines of dark red...is it due to the size of the animation, what do I have to change it to?

I have the animated gifs in order but just they are not resized properly. Need help on that because I don't know what size to resize them. Should I send the BAM files, or just the animated gifs?

Like I said, they look quite distorted(not the monster itself but the backgrounds and the location of the monster...)And it seems I can't fit it all in one zip folder that is 1MB(since the max I can send in an attachment is 1.024MB), I'll have to send you multiple folders. Is that okay?

Ok, how much can your e-mail address take? Because I'm going to send them all(total is about 3MB for everything excluding the BAMs).

Ok, for now I sent you the walking and neutral animations, tell me how to fix them up/what it needs to be fixed and I'll see if I can do them for the other animations. If not, I'll send the rest to you too.

Mind you that the files I sent you I did not attempt to change the background color or resize the animations, the files that I did attempt this are the attack1 animations(check my avatar for a front view of the attack1 animation). I think the actual animation size is not the same(I don't want to change the monster size, just the animation size) because some of them are much smaller and look VERY distorted when viewing as animated gif with Cv5.

So Nefarius, anything done with those animations yet? I'll probably need to send you the rest of them too.

Well, can you give me advice/tips on how to fix those offscreen things? And what do you think of the animations themselves(they would make really cool monsters) And the attacking animations are quite cool too especially his double swing fist. Should I send you the rest of the files too?

my diablo/griswold converter has one direction that has cut off arms, but the game runs so fast it actually dosent really show, any way if the rightdown is messed use the down animation for it and so on this should work and wont really mess the game just sometimes look weird but actually no one will notice it in heat of battle

But is there a way to actually fix it without relying on the "they won't notice it" because the monster is really cool and I don't want him to look kind of disfigured slightly if you know what I mean. Any help would be appreciated.

the reason the monster looks so disorted and offscreen is simple, the place where the legs are is behind the char so it dosent display on play screen when it attacks i think if the original .bam file has this kind of disortion there is nothing we can do about it
