Too bad they're not animated.

A suggestion: since they're not animated...how about creating simple anis with a little transmission disturbance effect(white line appearing and disappearing)?

Yeesh.   .ani's are just a series of pics, right?  So anyone that's good at creating / modifying pics aught to be able to make a .ani animate...  just have to find someone and convince them to do it.

Woo doesn't want to make them as it would make ye filesize bigger.

No it wouldn't, the head anis have to be a specific number of frames long for them to work. So any size changes would be minimal for those anis.

I don't want to animate them as it would be an extremely long and tedious process.

Isn't there a compressed .ani format?

But 'tis still large. The reason Woo isn't making animated Cb anis.

They shouldn't be that large... what's the resolution of the pic?  And it's monochrome, too, isn't it?

Head anis are 160*120 and are 44 frames long.
Ours average about 20kb
The FS2 ones range from about 160kb-600kb

IIRC, .EFF can't be used for interface animations, such as the HUD.  Its possible that the jpg-based container animation format that Taylor is working on, might do it though.  However, its some distance off on the horizon at this point.
