the ufo1_02 animations are a little bit to low. they don't match the area of the original texture

Hey Mattn !

I just made the first test with the new animations & IMHO there are some things which should be corrected:

- The speed in ufo2_06 animation should be tripled 4 all the fx having a better impact.

- The speed in ufo2_04 & ufo2_07 should be at least quadrupled & ufo1_02 would look best at ultra-highspeed  ;)

- Also I forgot that ufo2_04 & ufo2_07 are designed to play first forward & then backward, please tell me if this would be possible with the current code, otherwise I could add frames the other way round, but I think that would exceed the 16 frame-animation-limit  ::)

P.S.: I'm working on ufo1_02...

Hey ! Have to get some sleep first, to recharge the batteries...
Will try to join the IRC-Channel & Sourceforge later...
Then, hopefully, patches will follow...

Last Question: Is there a possibility to play the frames backwards after reaching the last frame or do I have to manually add the frames to the animation, which would conflict with the max-16-frames-limit ?   ???

you can't write to the svn until we gave you write permissions - but you can use tortoise to create patches and these should be submitted to our patch tracker at http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?atid=805244&group_id=157793&func=browse

Just realized another missing alpha-channel & black background - Here is the corrected file, maybe you could commit this:

no, there isn't
Maybe we could increase the max-16-frames-limit then ?

Additional frames for ufo2_07 animation to make it change the colors smoothly (now 18 frames long):
