Tesla Weapon

Is there a way to copy the animation from RA2, and use it in TS ?
Or is there a animation out there close to this ?

You have to do a conversion...

Load your animation in BS SHP Builder and Export it as JPG. Then, import it again optimizing for TS animation and using Full Difference CCM. I think it will be ready, although it's still recommended to resize it to 80% of its size and you do the final stuff (fix anything that goes wrong, if you find anything wrong) and save.

The actual animation is drawn by the RA2 engine, just like the Ion Storm bolts. Sadly without an associated shp, its impossible to convert, but you could use the RA1 tesla bolt instead.

Except JPEG is a lossy format. PCX, BMP, or GIF would be better. Even though GIFs are limited to 256 colors, SHPs are too so it doesn't matter for this, but BS SHP Editor doesn't support GIFs yet.

umm... then that's another possible feature for a future version -- to add a preference of how much quality to save the JPEG in.
