okay command breifings! i have just made several images for a comman brefing, and now i cant seem to make them into the ANI using ACANI, it keeps bringing up the errors!

Can Someone here help??

Don't use ACANI. Simple as that.  

Here is where you can get a decent ANI making tool:
 http://www.descent-network.com/

Look under the Descent Manager tools, for ANIBuilder32. It has GUIs, and auto-palette-changing, and a bunch of other features I dont know about  

[Jon Handby]

thanks, ACANI was the only onei could find...

[Jon Handby]

This is my first ever ani file so feel free t' laugh! Its for my first major campaign "Incidental Warfare!"

I like it! I think you know there are some error like the text in the upper right is a little jumpy and that carrier i hidden behind that text sometimes. Maybe you can have the carrier to the left spinning and all the text on the right side. Then the carrier not behind any text.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
What are the odds of someone else thinking up a carrier named GTCa Trojan? And then DOING something with it? And modelling it! ARGH! *proceeds to rip hair out*

btw, nice ANI  

[aldo_14]

Actually, TPS has a support ship named the Trojan......

[Setekh]

Hey, that's a really nice ANI... nice one...  

[Mad Bomber]

That's just that ship itself, not the ship class.  

[Jon Handby]

Hey thanks! means a lot, yeah i tried to use a name i haven't seen using the warlock carrier! But its a name of the ship not the class. (Was thinking of the trojan horse, although the original name was Ark-Royal!!!)

The website forum will be a problem, although i have a site, i cant use the forums there as i have already out done my quota!

But i am trying to find something as i realy want to complete Incidental Warfare now....

Thanks again for your comments, (insert smug face here!)

Regards

gah, whenever use it, it changes all the images to 2 colors  

[aldo_14]

Cool....  

Never realised it was me Warlock (almost forgot about that ship, lol!)

[Jon Handby]

LOL! yeah its a cool ship! (and also is going to be the main ship in "IW"...

Wouldn't want to see those ANIs!  

And, Jon, mate - credit where it's due, I say. Keep up the top work.  

[Jon Handby]

Thanks. I have now opened a site for "Incidental Warfare" nothing there much at mo, but i am making loads of stuff to put on, such as ships images for the DB.

Also i am looking for help with mission writing and mods (so if we need anything more we can make em! and with weapons etc...)

eerrrr... cant think of anythig else at mo!

Thanks Again!

Comments welcome

This is off topic, but of use to you -

You need to work on the mission with the Trojan, in that shipyard. It seems a bit rushed - For one, Leo and Somethingelse wings are friendly when they shouldn't be, the enemy's "new beams" don't fire, and the messages are a bit off.

But the demo's very good otherwise   some typos here and there but it's not a problem

[CP5670]

Hey that ANI looks cool. Did you use some 3D program to do that or design each frame individually?

[Jon Handby]

Mission 3 had a problem which i didn't notice until after i released the demo, but that has been fixed now.
As for the typos. They too have been fixed, but thanks for informing me.

And the first Ani (rotating Trojan) was made by opening the model in MODELVIEW32 and just rotating a bit, screenshot, rotating a bit, screenshot. So it took ages to make each frame individually.
But it was my first one.

Susan Velas Profile was made frame by frame too. Picking the right images from the command anis to make her face move but to the right speed for the ani. Hopefully i got it right.

Thanks
