Here's how you find stuff.

Let's say you want to find the GI's animation.

Look in rulesmd.ini, you find the GI is [E1], and under [E1] you see Image=GI.

This tells you to look for [GI] in artmd.ini for code and whatnot. If the Image= line was absent you'd be looking for [E1] in the art file too.

OK so now you know the name of the GI's file: GI.SHP (rather than E1.SHP). Open XCC Mixer and:
File>Find>gi.shp
Click on the result.
make sure you have the right pallete selected (unittem.pal), then right-click on the SHP file and either:
copy as PCX - (if you want a whole boatload of frames)
copy as PCX (single) - if you only want one image file

Note XCC mixer has a 'hidden' center pane - move the pane borders to see it. In this way you can navigate the 2 panes independently and set your destination directory for where you will write the new files.
