I've just followed what Incandescent One said about transforming a cl2 to dcc (get the frames in the right order in an animated gif and then turn them to dcc with cv5).
But I can't turn them to dcc, I can's select that extension in cv5. Is there a newer version? I have 5.2

I believe you need some type of animated gif program to download, I believe Nefarius gave a link to a trial version called animation shop pro...

I've already solved the problem, I needed to download some dll's to make the dcc extension selectable. But now I can't figure out the offsets, I read nefarious post but I didn't understand it.

The offsets are usually trial and error, try different offsets and test and adjust them until they get right.

Can you tell me some offsets, to start trying. I don't know where to start (10, 15, ???).
I'm trying to add the overlords from d1.

I don't know if this is normal but when I try to save my gif to dcc it first ask me the offsets, I set them to 8 directions (15 frames), them I fill in the offsets and after that it asks me the offsets again but this time it says there are 119 frames instead of 120.
Do I have fill the offsets for each frame or is something wrong?

<edit> I've solved it, I was clicking on the wrong save button
