I have each frame in BMP format, and I have been pasting them into SHP Builder, with the unitubn.pal palette. Problem is, when the animation is saved, I try to open it again and it doesn't work. The program says "Range out of bounds", and if I try testing the animation in the game, it gets an IE.
The funny thing is that I can open this animation with older versions of SHP Builder. But then the last few frames are messed up (the last few frames of the animation are actually in different colours to the majority of the frames, but they still fit the palette. They appear scambled).

- I thought I had fixed this problem, but you are not the first to report this problem. Anyway, you can probably open it in the current version by going on preferences -> Loading & Saving -> BS SHP Builder Offset Way.

I will ask Banshee about this on the PPM site - I asked here first 'cause it seems like his forums don't have much activity...

- SHP Builder forums might have many posts, but many people check it. And, when you have a problem with a tool, the best way to get a faster reply is to post in the official forum of that tool.

also Banshee's replies seem to defend his program to the death

- No, not really. I know the program has a good ammount of problems, although it used to be worse.

and he probably won't even believe that this happened to me...

- Yes, I do believe... but I still don't know exactly what, in the program, could have caused it.

I can provide the saved SHP, and the frames if required. Thanks in advance

- I'd like to see this SHP, so I can find out what is going on. If older versions read it, it should be some problems with one of the offset....
Edit: Actually, I've found out that the program acts in a dumb way when you have a blank frame inside the SHP (between non-blank frames). If your SHP has this characteristic, save it with compression 1 (by going on Preferences -> Loading & Saving -> Compression 1 only), or wait for the next version.
