Flic Animations

[Jon Hayes]

I use NeoPaint for the drawing of animations etc.  I want to make a Flic showing the player falling to his death if he does something run, but NeoPaint  doens't have an option to save as a .FLC or a .FLI And i cant any other program that does..Is there one I'm missing? or can I save it as a different type, like *all types and then just title it FLICx.FLI or FLICx.FLC ? If I can do that, then what part of my game dierectory do I save it to, compiled?

I don't know what NeoPaint is but for flics, you make views by making individual frames. If NeoPaint is for making movies then i don't know what you should do but if it makes pictures and that's what you did, upload them individually into the sprite manager and make them frames.

NeoPaint is a good painting program..well fairley good.  It gets the job done, but thank for the flic thing, I'll do that.

I also use NeoPaint, but what the graphics you can do with it aren't very good for a game. There are a lot people with better images, so I think there must be a better one than it.

But NeoPaint is compared with other programs very easy to use, but there are needed special effects missing. Which version of NeoPaint do you use? I use an old DOS version.

FLIC is an animation file... no sprites, a flic animation the the game base dir... where the rooms are... find Animation Shop... It's shareware though, but you can use it to make flics

I've only just started playing with AGS but so far I've had nice results with FLIC animations.

I scan in my own hand drawn art then clean them up and manipulate them with any old art program. I save them in GIF format then use Ulead GIF Animator Lite Edition to compile them into an animated GIF. Lastly, I use Fast Movie Processor v1.41 to convert them into FLIC format. It's sort of a roundabout way, I guess but it works for me.

Both programs are available on the net and are freeware for non-commerical applications.

Hope this helps. =)
