Having issues with fighter factory.

   Hi everyone...I've been lurking on here for a little while.I'm a noob,I decided I wanted to make a character,and I checked out the tutorials and wotnot,namely spidermews.I have FF and GIMP.How do you change gif files into pcx? How do you compartmentalize pcx spritesheets into "frame-by-frame"? b/c when I load the sprites into FF I get the whole sheet.ATICE's "Basic character creation tutorial" won't run on my pc and all the tutorials I've seen also assume I know certain things..when in fact,on these matters,I'm quite ignorant.I can install chr/stages/snd but that's all.    Thanks for your time.

Ok, to chage a gif file into a pcx file with the gimp, its simple.
Grap the part of the image you want, be it from a sheet or the whole thing if its a single sprite.
Coppy
Start a new file
Make sure the background is the color you want to end up becoming transparent, then paste.
Then At the top there is a drop down menu that says image, click then scroll down to mode, then hit indexed.
Then save, and just name it whatver your making .pcx and boom!

 ,thanks Spidermew...what about seperating the palletes(sprite sheets)? Do I need to make a GIMP file for each posture or is there a more appropriate way?

[Spidermew]

Every sprite on the sheet has to have its own file. But if you want to make a palete file easy, after youve seperated all the sprites, use the sheet itself to make a huge pcx file, and use that to do the trick you saw in my video. That way your sure you have all the sprite colors.
