Zulu appears to have gone in mid-sentence. Animations for Civ3 are formatted as flc files. Flicster is a program that changes flc to other formats (and vice versa). With flicster we can modify the flc files and make new animations etc.

FLICster is the ONLY1 program avaliable to the public that can create flics with the Civ3-SPECIFIC header, and therefor the only program that can be used to create units that show up correctly in the game.

1. AFAIK that is.

PSP6 and MS Paint... the two I only need.

Besides, I'm not good at animating and texturing... crop and paste is a time honor tradition.

Thrawn, are you saying you can modify flc animations with psp? Something that no-one else has done.

You can edit FLCs in AS2, but you can not edit Civ3 FLCs corectly.
Try it.
