Greetings!

I have another question: How do I make animations for briefing icons? (or any ani file for that matter)

Problem: I'm making an image for a ship and I have 6 frames all the same res and 8-bit channel. All of them are 32x28 pixels, and I converted them all to PCX format. I also named them in sequence correctly for AniBuilder ( *0000.pcx, *0001.pcx, *0002.pcx, etc). But the program keeps giving me an error: First frame has an incompatible PCX header (should be version 5, 8bits per pixel)

I've tried many things to fix this but I can't figure it out. HELP! :confused1:

I converted it using Photoshop CS4, I'm not sure if that program changes things but that's what I used.

I double-checked my PCX images and they're all 8-bit channels. :?

What do I do with the frame?

EDIT: I figured it out! I simply had the wrong 256-color pallete (thx to Droid803) and the res is supposed to be 96 so changed that too. 8)
