YAY for GIF Movie Gear, it made my sig.

The animation in that sig isn't that breathtaking you know. <_<

Ok, but still it doesn't make the program look so great.

... WAIT A MINUTE, why the heck did I just post those stingy remarks, dear stupid me. :wallbash:

Anyway, you don't need a great animation program to create great sigs and avatars.

Yeah, unfortunately I couldn't think of a way to involve my original statement that lead to such a sig... "Keep It Simple".

I will always live by those words.

EDIT My bad those words are in there...

uh...

Enjoy :ph34r:

I still can't do it. I'm going to cry. All I want to do is take screenshot from a game or something and animate it. I'm thinking maybe a Warcraft 2 Ogre doing his punchy thing. Or maybe, if I tried real hard I could get a bunch of screenshots of different moments and make a red alert rifle infantryman look like he was dancing. You know how they move around and stuff. Help me please.

So is this now an issue of not being able to take the screen caps or not being able to animate them? Have you got the screen captures of the game you want yet?

I guess this thread is almost extinct now, but oh well. I'm starting to get the hang of the things I was having difficulty with now..I'm using GIMP again, playing around, seeing what I come up with, but just out of curiosity, how exactly does one take screen shots? I know it isn't the print screen button (oh yes, I DID try that :P)...Any advice is muchly appreciated.

It should be Print Screen -> paste into a paint prg or a word/-pad doc, or a game defined key. If it's a game defined key, it should tell somewhere in the game docs which one. Search all readme files, config files and other text based files as well as the game manual.

The Print Screen button works sometimes and sometimes it doesn't. If you're using DOSBox then the easier and more reliable way to take them is Ctrl+F5, the .PNG files will appear in a folder you can access from the DOSBox folder in the Start menu of Windows.
