@mattn: Maybe you could do me a favour & take a look @ the textures I made so far  :P
I hope everything is correct with them & you could really motivate me, if I could see them integrated by you this time ;)
I checked Kildors entries & they are really helpful with this, for ufo2_06a0.tga - ufo2_06a9.tga just the number of frames has to be changed in the already existing code, but I am quite tired now & it would be really cool if you could check the code this time...
So here are the new animated textures Part 1:

 8) 8) 8)
Great, I am compiling as soon as I see your commits on cia.vc, because I have to see the frames in action to get some new ideas & to have a better imagination what could push the graphical quality further & how my ideas look in-game...
Thanx a lot 4 all your work !!!

Okay, I see 16 frames max., what was the former limit ? Do I have to update to watch all frames, because I'm already compiling !?

you do not have to recompile the maps when changing material files. you only have to recompile the ufo binary as only the renderer changed. the max was 8 before.

and you should update again - i've fixed wrong texture names

it looks like ufo2_07 frames are only black you add an alpha channel and remove the black background. we could even fix this in the material definition but it should be the same for most of the textures imo.

I am sorry Mattn, but I do not exactly know what you mean, if you give me a detailed instruction, I will do it immediately...

thanks - now only ufo2_04a* must be converted, too
