Um...I think you are asking for us to do too much of your work, and you don't thank much(you didn't thank me ) You should first make the animation(all the image files for each frame, or put all the frames in one image spaced evenly, and we could show you how to animate them in DBC.

Hi again!

Animating sprites can be confusing - the manual doesn't explain it too well - do a search for examples.

You need something like this:


You'll need to draw a pic of your knight at each of the movement / attack positions and cycle ('play') it as above and as necessary

I've attached a bmp I put to together as an example. Its 4 pics in 1 - 1 pic wide by 4 pics down. Should give you an idea of what you need to do.

Oh and when you're testing your anims make sure you loop them so the program doesn't end, or else you won't see them on screen!!

OMG that is like the largest filesize I have ever seen for a banner!
3,369,409 bytes! I was wondering why it took nearly a minute to load.

Wow! You should change your signature. Or it might be changed by a mod. I thought there was a size limitation...

That was a cool looking sig, if only you could shave the filesize down a bit
