Converting RA2 nuke to TS???

[Cygnus X-1 14]

How do you convert the RA2 nuke, anim, and what not to TS???. Dont need the radiation.

Convert it to PCX (single) using RA2 anim palette with the XCC Mixer.

Convert the TS anim.pal to PAL (JASC) format.

Open the big PCX image, flood fill the pink with black and shrink the image by 20%.

Apply the TS anim palette.

Convert to SHP (TS) by doing this;-

1) Copy it.

2) Find the "Paste" menu in XCC and choose SHP (TS).

3) Put in the dimensions and number of frames, then the name of your file.

Add it to TS as normal.

Thanks a bunch.

 

While were on the subject, I have extracted the Mammoth tank Icon from RA, made a few changes (color) in the SHP builder, then followed the help guide for putting it into TS, but it doesnt work. How would go about taking RA icons and putting them into TS??

Or you can replace this tedious operations by:

 

1) Open your TS animation on the OS SHP Builder

2) Select the anim.pal from TS.

3) Go to Colour Replacement tools -> Palette Conversion.

4) Hit Browse and select the RA2 anim.pal

5) Make sure that in the colours to spare box only the colour #0 appears.

6) Hit OK.

7) Go to Edit -> Resize and shrink it by 20%.

8) Save your file.

I keep seeing references to "anim" and "RA2". This is the build icon for the mammoth tank from RA1 to TS.
