When you make a new unit for Cossacks or American Conquest, you
need to name each frame a specific number. Because the game uses 9 different
directions for animations, each animation frame is named in increments of 9, for
example the front direction animation (South) frame names look like this: Then the next direction animation (South/West) names look like this: |

| How to use the File Renamer tool: Open up the tool, the left window is where you browse to find your files that you want rename, click on the folder which contains your .bmp files, the middle window now displays all the .bmp files, select all these files by holding and dragging your mouse pointer over the files, now they will be all selected. Make the "Rename prefix:" box empty. In the "Start from:" box you need to enter the first frames name, depending on which direction animation you are naming this will be one of the following 00000, 00001, 00002, 00003, 00004, 00005, 00006, 00007, 00008. I have used the 00002 direction animation as the example. In the "Increment by:" box type "9". In the right window under "Preview renamed names" it will show you what the renamed files will look like. "Click the Rename Selected Files" button and the tool will rename all the files to what you specified. Your .bmp files will now be in the correct numerical format to be packed and added to the game! |
