Flamethrowers in space!

The screenshots just don't do the animation justice...

Much better than my version, certainly. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

For the convenience of everybody, I also have:

SF/SE5 Animation Buddy! (http://imagemodserver.mine.nu/other/MM/SF/tools/AnimationBuddy.zip)

Note: if the link ever breaks, try the shrapnel attachment above.

Now, what appears to be Chain Lightning http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/laugh.gif Though in fact it is just a coincidence.


Again, the screenshots just don't show the graceful arcing and wavering that these lightning rays are doing.

What's the animation buddy do? I can't run it, since it seems to want a VB control I don't have.

The only thing it uses is the common dialog box for loading the picture.

The animation buddy allows you to click the frames of your animation in the order you want them to show, and it generates the bitmap_effects.txt code for you to use.
