I mad a GIF of the shadow sprite from my fan game but it stops at the last Image instead of replaying.[/img]

 

[JetKrazy]

What animator are you using? That may be the problem

 

[Zeshiro]

i was using Game Maker but I never had a problem before.

Try using the Gimp.

Or, set the loop from '1' to '0'.

 

[Zeshiro]

I tried 3 links to download Gimp, two dont work and one was curropted. And Pro Motion keeps messing up the images. :(

 

[hotdog003]

You do need the GTK.

http://gimp-win.sourceforge.net/stable.html
That page has all the files you need. Worked for me.

You're talking about this image, right?

Oh dear, I just ruined the avatar contest, didn't I...?

*TIME PARADOX*

 

[hotdog003]

I'll fix that right up for you there...
*saves image*

 

[Zeshiro]

Whatever. I just want the freakin GIF to work. I won the contest already.

The problem I see is that all the frame speed settings are at 0. I don't think it works too well at zero. Try something more aroun 6-7 100ths of a second per frame.

 

[Zeshiro]

:x It's all so frustrating! Stupid image...at least my game works.

 

[JetKrazy]

Game Maker doesn't make repeating animations outside the program. I should know.

Try Animagic or GIFAnimator

Animagic? ! Even though I use ImageReady for GIFS, i would choose GIFAnimator. Sounds a bit more profesional.

 

[JetKrazy]

Yeah. GIFAnimator, you can just click and drag the frames into the frames list, while in Animagic, you have to import fame by frame (bmp, takes a lot of memory), but you can also add other anigifs. IE, you have the shadow one, and you want it to transform to sonic, you can make 3 different anigifs, then just put them all together instead of having to export all of those frames, then reimporting them into a new animation file

 

[Zeshiro]

Thanx for the advice, GIFAnimator rocks. :)

 

[JetKrazy]

No problem. Hey, can you post your new animation here?

 

[Zeshiro]

Wow!^_^ I took a long time to reply, my bad. This was actually one of the first sprites I made before I even finished the running ,jumping,kicks.dash...(etc.):

Oh and also, Im trying to put in Chaos Control for Shadow. How far would you say is a reasonable distance for it? I mean, I don't want people to just chaos chontrol their way through the level. And also, should chaos control have its own meter or should it drain shadows health? I'm Open to Suggestions! :D

 

[Zeshiro]

Here's just a couple stuff thrown together to form my makeshift titlescreen..... I'll fix it later. :|

(Later meaning anywhere from now till next year)

 

[SSNTails]

LOL I love the Eggman in the tank top.

 

[JetKrazy]

wow. That looks pretty good.

I still haven't seen that shadow animation
