Nefarius: try reading my posts more carefully. I never said they weren't supposed to have AAAAAA(170,170,170) background, I know that they need AAAAAA background because the game treats it as transparent in the game. But one of KingCold's animations, he had his background to 172,172,172 which caused a HUGE grey box in the corpse animation in the game. So, it's now fixed to 170,170,170 and it works fine.------------------ God gave me a brain to use but I miserably failed to use it to my advantage

Apoc notified me of a problem with my shadows still showing in the Iron Golem files when brought into the game. The problem has now been corrected and I have uploaded the new GIFs in a zip on my site. Get it here. www.flightsofsplendor.com/D2X_modstuff/mmm.htmI also just posted a new thread with a tutorial on how to properly remove shadows from GIF's. Cheers!  ------------------ Last night I had a spicy latina for dinner.

Opps... sometimes Anim Shop likes to compress thing funny and I usually let it convert the transparent color to AAAAAA. I set the background color to AAAAAA and removed any compression from the GIF and repacked the DCC.So (finger's crossed) that should take care of it. Thank. ------------------ Ratsbane

That might be the problem with my DCC conversions too, I'll run through another conversion and make SURE Animation Shop isn't compressing and changing colors on me.Apocalypse Demon, I tried sending two of my gifs your way and got a "capacity limit exceeded" bounce. But I was off since Friday and just saw the bounce message. I'll take a look at the compression issue, and if that doesn't solve my problem I'll try sending again.

Send them over again in a zip file though. And yes, I've been getting over 10MB of files lately from everyone since I"m helping them test and my hotmail has been overflowing(max is 2MB, I'm getting 10MB). Anyways, try to send them again.------------------ God gave me a brain to use but I miserably failed to use it to my advantage

Ok Mandzo, your Overlord corpse animation from Diablo 1 is REALLY screwed up and has multiple corpses on each frame.  ------------------ God gave me a brain to use but I miserably failed to use it to my advantage

Okay Alkalund, there is something strange with your skeletons. For example, in the attack1 animation, some angles they are holding the sword in their left hand, in other angles, they are holding it in their right hand.  ------------------ God gave me a brain to use but I miserably failed to use it to my advantage

Oops, didn't think of that... its because of the frame-flipping I use to make the upright, right and downright directions  But I hope this is OK right? I mean, I don't mind if the monster misteriously switches his fighting arm in the middle of the battle  ------------------ Alkalund

Ok, I have some small errors in your Shadows #2 conversion. First off, the first frames of the gethit and attack1 animations are black(which are now fixed). So, I think you should redit your backgrounds so they can all be 170,170,170. Second, the first frame of EVERY animation has a black line at the bottom of the frame background for some reason...can't seem to get rid of it. But good job, they look pretty cool.  ------------------ God gave me a brain to use but I miserably failed to use it to my advantage

Hey Apocalypse Demon guess what? Was taking a look at my conversions, and the only ones that don't have that weird thing at the bottom are the Skeletons, and to make it worse, only the skeletons with mace and axe!! All the others, including my leopard, have that. Man that's weird, I have no idea what that is. Working on it though. Please let me know if you discover why this happens.EDIT: Found out, that thing appears when I export an animation as gif with Infinity explorer. And it appears in the first frame of EVERY animation I export, no matter wich direction. I have yet to discover why it remains in the downleft direction and disappears in all others when I convert an animation (and why some of my conversions don't have this problem). ------------------ "Get me a balrog attack-1 hand-to-hand animation, and I want it yesterday, the paladin is almost here!" ---> DMA1HTH @ offset 0006A480h. - Myhrginoc [This message has been edited by Alkalund (edited 05 February 2002).]

Well, I also export from Infinity Explorer and don't seem to get these black lines at the bottom. Also, get rid of animation shop pro and get gamani, it's much better then it.------------------ God gave me a brain to use but I miserably failed to use it to my advantage

Ok, my gifs are NOT the problem. I opened them with Corel PhotoPaint, and watched closely the bottom of the files, they're perfectly normal, that strange line isn't there; same thing with gifmovie gear.So the problem must be with CV5. Here's what happens: take for example the attack1 anmation from the shadow monster from planescape. I export the first direction of that animation with Infinity Explorer, and then open it with Cv5: The strange line is there. Then I open the same file with gamani or photopaint and the strange line is not there. I proceeded with the other directions of the attack1 animation, just to make sure. All of them behaved equally. Strange thing is, when I mix all the 8 directions in the final attack 1 animation, and open the final gif with Cv5, the strange line only appears in the first frame as Apocalypse Demon said, and not in every first frame from each direction as first expected. So, WHY Cv5 put that damned thing there? And WHY it doesn't put it on some animations?? Apocalypse Demon, could you please export any single animation from Infinity explorer and then open the gif file with Cv5 to see if the strange line appears? ------------------ "Get me a balrog attack-1 hand-to-hand animation, and I want it yesterday, the paladin is almost here!" ---> DMA1HTH @ offset 0006A480h. - Myhrginoc [This message has been edited by Alkalund (edited 05 February 2002).]

I don't get any black lines when exporting from Infinity Explorer...not sure what's wrong with you. Anyways, hopefully they don't show up in the game, have to test them out later.------------------ God gave me a brain to use but I miserably failed to use it to my advantage

Really? Even when viewing the gif file you just exported with Cv5? EDIT: Tried to reinstall cv5, nothing changed. Apocalypse Demon, can I send you one gif (first direction from the Shadow's attack1 animation) I exported from infinity explorer for you to view it with cv5 and see if the line is there? ------------------ "Get me a balrog attack-1 hand-to-hand animation, and I want it yesterday, the paladin is almost here!" ---> DMA1HTH @ offset 0006A480h. - Myhrginoc [This message has been edited by Alkalund (edited 05 February 2002).]

O.K., anyone having a problem with the black background (using psp) just copy the first and last animation frames and when converting them to dcc with CV just use frame 1 through frame (last_frame-1) and it should work...thats as good as i can fix it for myself.

I've found a couple of bugs with the Dark Knight from BG plug in. Both are in the A1 dcc.1) The Down-Left anim is reversed (points to Right) 2) The last three directions, (Left, Up, Right,) are out of order. ------------------ Welcome to the end of your life.
