wouldn't it ? But then again, you are right, for it to be animated I would have to extract many consecutive images ( that is basically what frames are, right ? You see, I am really still frighteningly ignorant at all of this. But I have played around a bit with Infinity Explorer) and join them back together again in a way and at a speed that would make it look "smooth". Maybe I will have to settle for either an animated gif out of the explorer without background or a standstill shot with background.

Macromedia Fireworks, I have to admit, I have never even heard of this program before ? Well, you probably did not think that my ignorance level was that
high !

Thanks !

Well I think I need to explain something about how gifs are extracted, they are taken from the data files of the games, not from a "saved game" therefore only the monsters and some NPCs can be extracted. The models for player characters are also available, but they are strange colours. They are painted with proper colours when the program runs. This allows characters to have their clothes/hair's etc colour changed.
