Title: SOC .gif?
Post by: Havock on January 07, 2004, 02:58:54 pm

i need a .gif or something from that SOC animation you get in command briefings, thought it would be "general" enough, so if anyone could help me, extracting it out of FS2 itself gives you an .ani, which i can't do anything with.

Save as AVI, then convert the AVI to GIF.

Or just save all the frames as PCX and batch-convert them.

sry, i dont mean id email MX...just the gif.... when i find it\rebuild it

edit: you want the whole thing animated?
edit2: if you only want 1 frame, just hit the save all frames button in aniview. drop them all in an *empty* folder than just find the frame you want.
