question about shan

how do they work? I mean, in comparison to EVOs PICT and spin ( I think) resources.
For example, if I were to make a new ship, what do I have to do?

You can use PICTs in the same way as before, putting in the relevant values for the base and mask.

Alternatively, you can convert everything to RLEs using utilities on the addons page. You would then put the ID of the RLE in for the base ID and the RLE ID+1 for the mask ID. You can add extra graphics to get effects such as banking while turning, special weapon graphics, etc.

I'm guessing you know how to get the ship pics. The best thing to do is download (url="http://"http://www.ambrosiasw.com/cgi-bin/vftp/dl-redirect.pl/EnRLEDeRLE.sit?path=evn/utilities&file;=EnRLEDeRLE.sit")EnREL/DeREL(/url). The program has instructions on how to make them RELs. Next you paste them into ResEdit and fill in the blanks. Make sure that you select the radio button labeled REL 8 or REL 16 depending on what you want to use.
