How can i make it in firerocket to use for example this jpg file?I tried fimg but it wrote me that save function does not work.Is there some way to create more frames for example on missile explode?

PS:Sorry for my english.

I think is probably the best freeware image manipulation software., but I'm not sure since I use a commercial package.

you have to manually loop it.

go through each frame. it won't play on it's own.

there is client-side looping on sprites (framegroups) just like in models. Not sure what sprite tools support it though.

....or engines.

i know that here is some example code in weapons qc:
void() s_explode1 = [0, s_explode2] {};
void() s_explode2 = [1, s_explode3] {};
void() s_explode3 = [2, s_explode4] {};
void() s_explode4 = [3, s_explode5] {};
void() s_explode5 = [4, s_explode6] {};
void() s_explode6 = [5, SUB_Remove] {};

void() BecomeExplosion =
{
self.movetype = MOVETYPE_NONE;
self.velocity = '0 0 0';
self.touch = SUB_Null;
setmodel (self, "progs/s_explod.spr");
self.solid = SOLID_NOT;
s_explode1 ();
};

so here is the new effect spr:

void() n_effect1 = [0, n_effect] {};
void() n_effect2 = [1, n_effect] {};
void() n_effect3 = [2, n_effect] {};
void() n_effect4 = [3, n_effect1] {};

void() NewEffect =
{
self.movetype = MOVETYPE_NONE;
self.velocity = '0 0 0';
self.touch = SUB_Null;
setmodel (self, "progs/neweffect.spr");
self.solid = SOLID_NOT;
n_effect1 ();
};

But how can i put it for example in FireRocket function to replace missile.mdl with animated NewEffect?
