Basically the animations like SW.ANM can now be of good quality using either .png or .jpg files in the animation.

These files can be any size but must all be either .png or all .jpg

Care must be taken in the filesize as I found anything above 150k tends to lag the animation a bit on slower PC's.

The files only need to be zipped together and placed in the root folder with file name: SwpAnim.zip

I have added a section to the SwCustom file as follows:

animation
{
"sw.anm" // Swp1001.. 43 frames
"swend.anm" // Swp2001.. 70 frames
"sumocinm.anm" // Swp3001.. 84 frames
"zfcin.anm" // Swp4001.. 142 frames
}

Here you can give your animation any name provided its a .zip file.

In SW there are only 4 animations so the files need to start with the appropraite names as shown and each animation currently needs the same required number of frames (files) as original.

There is a new SwpAnim.cfg inside the SWP.grp file that triggers the new animations.

Because this now takes priority I have added a provision for several old TC's so they can still run their animations.

If no new animation is found, SWP will revert back to the original.

To see how it works and how to change or add your own animation download this file and just add it to your directory.

Here is an attempt to improve the original but I'm no graphic artist
http://www.proasm.com/files/sw/SwpAnim2.zip (just rename it to SwpAnim.zip)

Try this, its a 640x480 version and should be much faster:

===========================================================

Also included is SwAnim.zip (SW.ANM) It's a Corrected 4:3 aspect ratio original version.
Unzip to Swp folder.

Note: The SwpAnim.zip will take priority over the external SW.ANM file if you use both.
