if i view the said gifs in IE they look fine with no black box at all, but whenever i open them in cv5 there appears to be a black box around the first frame but no other frame, and it converts this black box into dcc format aswell, anyone ever had this happen before? or is this just another imageready *beep* up------------------ "I Have Risin From The Ashes Of Death More Powerfull Than Ever"

That's the same problem I had, that's because the frame size of each frame is not the same. You need to change the frame size(not the animation size) to be all the same size. So, check the size of the frame that looks okay and then make all frames have the same size. ------------------ God gave me a brain to use but I miserably failed to use it to my advantage

See, that is exactly what happened to me. So I gave them to Nefarius and he fixed them...ask him what exactly he did because he got mine pretty much fixed.------------------ God gave me a brain to use but I miserably failed to use it to my advantage

http://dynamic2.gamespy.com/~phrozenkeep/ubb/Forum38/HTML/000110.html This applies to all sound files for all games. You just need to change the sound type. Read the thread. Oh, and can you send me the finished animations at e_tchernev@hotmail.com ------------------ God gave me a brain to use but I miserably failed to use it to my advantage

ok, the animation is all done and zipped, do you want plugin or raw dcc form? oh and it looks like bg1's wav files use some sort of compression because even microshaft sound recorder wont open them, oh well ill look more into that later------------------ "I Have Risin From The Ashes Of Death More Powerfull Than Ever"

I want the raw .dccs and the sound files please. I'll see what I can do with the sound files if anything. Btw, who are you replacing as a plugin(who is replacing the wyverns)? ANyways, just send the .dccs and .wavs. Thanks alot  ------------------ God gave me a brain to use but I miserably failed to use it to my advantage

Hey, KingCold! I'd like to find out how you fixed that problem with the blackbox/blackbackground in the first frame when viewing it in CV5, cause I get the same thing sometimes too.Did you make the background opaque? That seems to work for me... And Nefarius just confirmed that the d2 palette treats the background color AAAAAA as transparent anyway. No need to specify it twice. ------------------ Last night I had Italian for dinner.
