cannot open my saved SHP

I wanted to import a railgun anim from this topic into RA2. I used importing thingy, selected RA2 and "animation" , chose proper palettes (anim.pal from RA2) and converted the GIF. Then I did some repaints and saved the SHP, after it XCC Mixer couldn't view saved SHP, saying that it is "unknown file type". When I attempted to open the SHP into SHP Builder again, I got this error and SHP Builder simply got hanged up...

here is that bugged SHP...

I couldn't open it here either. It gives me a bunch of access violations. I'll see what's going on and what could cause this problem.

That's a SHP (TD), as far as I could see. So, the code to save SHP (TD) files is not completely reliable yet, although it does a nice job on 99% of the cases. I'm overloaded with university and other stuff to do right now, but one day I'll take the time to analyse it properly.

that's very strange, as I tried to convert the GIF into Red Alert 2 format...
anyway, thanks for the information and good luck in your studies Smile

I have the same bug, but if a save an "useless" file first, it saves the rest of the shp's in SHP(TS)
I don't know way, but maby it wil help your problem.
