Title: Converting gifs to .ani files
Post by: DarthWang on October 26, 2008, 08:33:29 pm

Would it be possible to convert this (http://content.ytmnd.com/content/b/1/f/b1ff40c650d9bc3ad189ee7ab532e70a.gif) to a head .ani file?

You could always go the overkill way of taking out every frame and putting it together again :P
And you making some sort of joke mod like JAD?

Resize the gif, split into files, save the lot as pcx, create ani. :)

GIMP is the way to go, it will let you extract all the frames. It's important, though, that it has to use the same limited palette as existing head/hud ANIs.
