Fiel, how are the skill/base animation images numbered? It's relatively easy to import numbered sequences to Adobe Imageready as animations, and then just tweak the per-frame speed and save them. You might even be able to set it up as a batch process.
They're numbered sequentially. Sometimes, though, an image has a pointer to another image saying, "Use this image instead of a new one in the sequence". It makes the program faster.
Also, all of the images are of variable size. They have to be centered and whatnot with different offsets than are given in the files (requires a mathematical transpose). I know all the math to do this myself, but so far every GIF animation I've ever made from Maple has been made by hand.
My only problem is that all of the GIF animators I know of only allow you to put the offsets into the program and I can't generate them with a script to put them in the program myself. I know Koolk has made an animator. He said he made it with PHP. However, sometimes I wonder how he does it.
