Please go ahead. In fact, if anyone like to post my unit flc there they are also welcome to do so. Apolyton can be a bit slow for me sometimes thats why I hardly post anything there

Then again, maybe because I am just plain lazy to post at two places

Look for moeniir's great work under the thread Flicster which is at the utilities section of the forum.

Now how to use flicster and paintshop pro together? if there is already a tutorial Perhaps i need to read the rest of this section but if not are you able to start a new thread to explain this

I created a mountie unit earlier with all directions and animations using animationshop 3.0 (jasc) only to have it not be approved for flicster. quite disappointing to spend so much time and not be able to use the unit.

My goal is to create a well done mountie unit that will later upgrade to a Police cruiser.. sounds for that unit will be awesome and easy to find.. (sirens in run mode)(you have the right to remain silent in victory mode)(this is the Police on the loudspeaker in attack mode) etc. will be lots of fun

but not going to attempt something such as this since it took me all night just to create the animations for the mountie and nothing turned up right.

Keep up the good work for the units and the tutorials

What I want to know is, how to create a graphic without a modeling tool. I know the tutorial talked about shading, but the only way I know how to create one graphic is pixel by pixel. I've tried creating a spinning disk once (I knew about the S,SE,E,NE, etc. directions), but it ended up turning into a circle as it spun.

I can't even give it a 3D-looking gloss... I have PSP 3.0 BTW.

Care to explain to someone who couldn't even draw a Civ1 legion if they tried?

try downloading PSP7 CT. It is more advanced and easier to use/upload files too .

Does defend really has a use? I've tried to use for defend a completly different animation. And I never saw it.
