moonlit Posted December 13, 2006 Share Posted December 13, 2006 .gif is the only format that most forums accept that can be animated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Andrewson Posted December 13, 2006 Author Share Posted December 13, 2006 Exactly, so explain how i can delete hex values? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moonlit Posted December 13, 2006 Share Posted December 13, 2006 Delete what hex values? If you randomly cut out chunks of an image file it's no longer going to be an image file and therefore it's going to be useless. What you're trying to do is akin to ripping out random parts from a car and expecting it to still move. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keiyentai Posted December 13, 2006 Share Posted December 13, 2006 :shock: :? Ok..... .gif does animation as well as .png (I believe) theres this wonderful thing called "compression" theres a lot of programs that will resize and compress image files. Photoshop, The Gimp...like 10 zillion more. Also...Hex Editing...a picture??? THis is not Diablo 2 and trying to unlock the Secret Cow Level!!? Who told you that>?? Or what screwtard site said to do it that way?? Oh god my head hurts. www.google.com <<< Look He is a good friend of everyone. KNow him Use him. He likes the abuse!!

majk Posted December 13, 2006 Share Posted December 13, 2006 It shouldn't be that hard, just learn the LZW algorithm by heart and edit the file in your hex-editor accordingly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
