I'm trying to do an ANI that runs at slower than 15 frames a second, but it doesn't matter what I set ANIBuilder at, it won't do anything other than 15 fps when I go to ANIviewer, and when I go to the properties, it says it's running at 15fps
Just wanted to know, is this a bug with Builder, Viewer or Me?

hmm, i remember getting some 5 FPS ANIs to run, but i dont remember how

I seem to recall there is an alternative program to AniBuilder that was a bit more flexible? Anyone know where to get it?

If you want to make the ani slower you can always repeat frames. Thats my only tip.

Remember my old ANI file building tool? Anyone still have a copy of that around? It would take files you wanted and number them sequentially so you could easily take them into the ANI builder.

EDIT: Hey, look at that, its on my site.

What exact specs do the single .PCX files have to? I've tried to make an .ANI with screens from FS2, but when I click on "start" ANIbiulder says "Error in frame #1 reading PCX-file *path*"

They need to be in 8-bit (that is, 256 colours), all have the same dimensions, and be numbered sequentially (see Max's post above) in order to work in ANIBuilder

It's a problem with the Viewer.  Even I've complained about it, and I only use the thing a couple of times a year.

I'm not sure if source code is available for it so that the issue can be fixed, but I'd be happy to fix it if the code can be located.

Otherwise I guess that everyone will just have to wait until something new becomes available.  And I've actually got that on my todo list too, something that will work with ANIs, EFFs (with error checking! ), and the newer ANI replacement for interface graphics that I have coming post-3.6.7.  No ETA on that though, it's pretty low priority.
