I am trying to use a minotaur that I pulled from IWD. I have the monsters offsets perfect by using Incadescent's Idea of using the werewolf to test graphics. anyways the problem Im having is the graphics are "jumping" when he attacks.when he swings his blade he appears to jump straight up and down. durring the attack only. his walk , get hit,and death, corpse are just fine. his attack2 does the same. any Ideas how to fix it.

you have to make a layer and blend that with the attack animation in Gamani, so that the animation won't jump

using the werewolf slot could be annoying cos some of its mode are known to cause troubles.

you shoud try to use another spot.

this is what I do (with gamani and paint shop pro7):
1. open gamani and blend all direction (down, leftdown, left, leftup, up)
2. now just double click on a frame (doesn't matter which one, coz all frame have got the same size coz you blended them and, remember the sizes) let's say your frame is 200x200
3. open psp7 and make a 1-frame picture (200x200) with 170 RBG and save it as layer.gif
4. open gamani, open the layer and use the "blend with" option. now the animations should have a 170 RBG background, and they should not jump anymore

good luck

hey Baz when you say blend the animations, what exactly do you mean? like if I was to use say attack1.GIF, do i blend all 8 directions on top of each other or do each direction seperately. meaning open down left and blend all frames together, open up left and blend all frames together?

no, you only have to blend 5 directions (you flip the others, so they are just as big). just blend them on top of each other. then all frames have the same size and now you also know the size of your layer.

Ok, let's say you have the right angle animation but not the left angle animation. You can choose the option on gamani to flip the animation horizontally. Now, you have the other angle as well.

hey thanx apoc. but what i mean is how do i blend the graphics with a trasparent frame so that in game the monsters dont bounce. my "perfect" minotaur jumps like a kangaroo (up and down)when he attacks. the off sets are perfect using the paladin and the werewolf animations just to be sure.do i do it one frame at a time or one direction say down left blended on top of each other. I am having a real problem with this so please bare with my ignorance. i need step by step if possible. once i do it once ill do it everytime

Okay, blending the entire animations CAN give you problems(Baz). So, I suggest blending each direction instead. After doing that, just put all directions together and it should work.
