Tyrian Animations

[Foz]

I'm making this a general thread in case I need to add more animation questions in, but here's my first one:

How do you piece together the shield animation tiles? I'm looking at them, and it seems to me that there are more tiles there than are actually used... or are there two or three different shield animations?

if so, what pieces join to what?

Thanks,
Foz

It's probably the framerate, making it look like a fast contiguous shield anim. Of course, I don't know if you're right or if there's a way to adjust the framerate for a specific object, but I'm assuming the shield anims are all used.

There's definately more than one frame to it.

there are so many unused stuff on tyrian, it's not surprising.

I have made several Tyrian animations myself.
