How do you work flickster??

[Abyss]

I downloaded flickster 3 days ago and have been working on it trying to figure it out. I followed the readme but i couldn't get the little x to appear in the upper left hand corner. I spent hours, but still no progress. Can anyone help me??

Did you successfully export the FLC to a Storyboard PCX file, and load it into a PCX editor? If so what editor are you using?

I used MSN paint to opne the Cossack file and drew the little x like it said in the readme and it doesn't work.

Thanks for answering.

Ok. Double check that everything is cool by looking in C:\Program Files\Infogrames Interactive\Civilization III\Art\units\Cossack\FLICster (adjust if you used non-standard civ3 install location). Open CossackRun.pcx in this directory. Do you see your little x ? if not, put it in now, and save. For this demo, the x should appear in the top-left corner region of the top-left fram in the file.

At this point, you PCX should have the X and is ready to go. Run flicster, choose File | Open, browse into the Cossack folder, then into the FLICster subfolder. Open CossackRun_StoryBoard.FXM. Now, go to the View Animation tab, and you should see the little X appear briefly at the start of each loop thru the SW animation. If you have a slower pc, try increasing the frame delay using the slider, to ensure you see all frames.

If this still doesn't work, email your PCX and FXM files to me at the email adress at the top of the readme, and I'll check it out.

Good Luck!

I did what you said with the X, but it didn't work. When I tried opening CossackRun_Storyboard.FXM it crashed FLICster, and the other CossackRun files didn't have the X.

Thanks for helping. We WILL get this to work!
