PD: in the attached file there are all the single frame animatiosn for all the 8 directions.
all backgrounds are grey except for one that is magenta, thats why i tryed changing the background for seeing if it worked, it doesnt.

yes... they are jpg, made with poser 4 they must be bmp ?

PD: this is really weird i was totally convinced they were bmp .... is it possible to make a sbb that works with jpg ? now i have to change format to 160 files .....

EDIT: mom mom look, it works!
well, i discovered how to make movies in poser in bmp images so now your SBB works fine :D if im lucky in a couple of days i will be posting new units
 
Always read the manual :
"First, you need to prepare the single bmp files. There are a few rules to follow."

It is technically possible to make version using jpg. However, don't forget I'm coding stuff for CivIII during my free time, which is very limited at the moment.
If I have guarantee 150 person will by a SBB at 40$ every month, I will consider resigning from my job to work full time on it and take request.
Until then, you will have to use the "basic" version.

For batch frmat conversion, try this Irfan View it's a very cool tool
 
yea i noticed, the thing is that the first time i made bmps but as they were 300x300 and limit is 256 i couldnt use them so then i made them again but i forgot to made them bmp so there was my problem, ur program works more than excellent, leave it as it is now.

now im just having problem with the palette but that doesnt correspond to this thread so...

I've read through the instructions 4 times and have tried countless attempts at this, with no luck. I am trying to make a single unit storyboard using bitmap images. I have all of the angles (N,NW,S,etc) and when I go to open them up with this program, there is no preview nor image information. I'm running Win XP.
 
Nevermind, I just figured out the problem. There were number prefixes ahead of the frame numbers in the file name.
 
Steph, great work! But there are few glitches though: 1) radio buttons in the MU tool - buttons in the first column of formation selection aren't cleared if you choose formation from other colums 2) sometimes preview window stops updating picture. First one will be easy to fix, I suppose. Second, would be nice if you fix it, but one can always restart the app. And one minor suggestion - maybe you can make the drop down area of combo boxes larger. It's somewhat annoying to scroll it down when one can easily just pick it. I hope you'll have some time to release a build with radio buttons and combo-boxes fix, if it wasn't your intetion to make them look this way. Any way, thanks, really handy tool.
 
The interface is relatively simple, with lots of icone, so you don't really need a French version. If you have pb with the user manual, send me an email at stephane.f.david@free.fr, I can answer in French
