Today i randomly opend the x_vulture.ral file with the notepad, and saw that: x_Vulture.grp
x_Vulture000.bmp
x_Vulture001.bmp
x_Vulture002.bmp
x_Vulture003.bmp
x_Vulture004.bmp
x_Vulture005.bmp
x_Vulture006.bmp
x_Vulture007.bmp
x_Vulture008.bmp
x_Vulture009.bmp
x_Vulture010.bmp
x_Vulture011.bmp
x_Vulture012.bmp
x_Vulture013.bmp
x_Vulture014.bmp
x_Vulture015.bmp
x_Vulture016.bmp

when i would write x_Vulture017.bmp are there then 17frames in that grp? :wtfage:
this would be usefull for some modders

NOTE:
Just for wthe ones who dont know whats a .ral file: when you use retrogrp like me, and convert a grp into bitmaps, then you become all the frames and a ***.ral (*** = x_nameofunit like x_tbarrack001.bmp)
this is used for making new grps. If you press create grp (retrogrp again) then you can choose a .ral file and convert it to .grp .Taddaaa! A new grp is born ^^



None.

x_Vulture000 counts as a frame, too. If you made x_Vulture017.bmp, there would be 18 frames.

Also what you are doing with the .ral file actually the point of the .ral file...

Don't use retroGRP, it is shitty.



None.

Everyone who has a half-decent understanding of retroGRP or has read a tutorial on it (IIRC there are two or three) will already know this. Thanks for trying to share, though.

There are a number of better alternatives. I prefer SFGrpConv myself.

Vrael -- It is, and I could definitely use a company with a commitment to flexibility, quality, and customer satisfaction to provide effective solutions to dampness and humidity in my urban environment.

NudeRaider -- Vrael
Vrael shouted: Idk, I was looking more for a dehumidifer company which maybe stands out as a beacon of relief amidst damp and unpredictable climates of bustling metropolises. Not sure Amazon qualifies
sounds like moisture control is often a pressing concern in your city
[06:50 pm]
Vrael -- Maybe here on the StarEdit Network I could look through the Forums for some Introductions to people who care about the Topics of Dehumidifiers and Carpet Cleaning?
[06:49 pm]
Vrael -- Perhaps even here I on the StarEdit Network I could look for some Introductions.
[06:48 pm]
Vrael -- On this Topic, I could definitely use some Introductions.
[06:48 pm]
Vrael -- Perhaps that utilizes cutting-edge technology and eco-friendly cleaning products?

Vrael -- Do you know anyone with a deep understanding of the unique characteristics of your carpets, ensuring they receive the specialized care they deserve?

NudeRaider -- Vrael
Vrael shouted: I've also recently becoming interested in Carpet Cleaning, but I'd like to find someone with a reputation for unparalleled quality and attention to detail.
beats me, but I'd make sure to pick the epitome of excellence and nothing less.

Vrael -- It seems like I may need Introductions to multiple companies for the Topics that I care deeply about, even as early as Today, 6:03 am.

Vrael -- I need a go-to solution and someone who understands that Carpets are more than just decorative elements in my home.
