Hi,
Does anyone know how to make animated sprites - like Fireball.IMG in the art/Sprites folder? Which software would I use to make these, if possible?

Thanks!

Yes.

(see PM)

Uh...there are animated sprites? o_O

Yes :)

Example: TM\art\sprites\smokec.img

Also, the Tree's use animated sprites. Each time you hit them for defoliation level, the next version of the sprite appears. That is how we have trees with multiple levels of foliage.

used it in my SAM weapon mod. You can do soe cool effects wth it, and it doesn't lag servers :D

I've never noticed them. But I've tried using gifs before and that didn't work. Now that I know this I may try and make some IMG files o_o

I use the ones that came with TM and a firefractal one. But I have a big problem with making my own animated files. Every time I change the colors on the sprite etc...it makes the file too big to turn into an IMG. I use the change-to-target brush in Paint Shop Pro 10. And that makes the file to big to be used. So any ideas?

IMG files are layered BMP files. Nothing more. But it's a slightly nonstandard format, thus the issue.
