not bad but it lacks details.
some points to improve it
1. try to fix the isometric view. your round shape on top isn't very round nor does it look like the camera angle which TS uses. maybe you should use the round base of the Ion uplink as a pattern
2. you should add some more anims than just a flashlight. Also don't use the remap red colors for this but rather the colors from index 240 (White) to index 254 (Blue) on the bottom right of the palette in SHPBuilder. These are drawn always in normal brightness thus giving in dark maps a nice glow effect. Here you can find more info about the palette
3. make the remap ring slightly glowing like you've done it now with the flashlight.
4. reduce the amount of frames if you have many unused. They just repeat in the shp so you can reduce them down to 4 frames.
5. maybe you can add with the blue colors 251-254 some nice ascending lightings to the 2 antennas which are already connected with a wire on top. So it looks a bit like this
a little side note: your code isn't 100% correct. the loopend key should have the value 15, so frames 0-14 are played and visible ingame. The game counts frames from 0 while SHPBuilder starts from 1 what is alone quite confusing, but more confusing is that the loopend key defines the frame after the last played frame. _________________ SHP Artist of Twisted Insurrection: Nod buildings

1 i used the threat rating node and built on it
2/3/5 i like that idea
4 i bassed it on the TRN thats why there are so meny frames and the art code worked (i cant code art files:s ) _________________ Creator of TS:BoB and some other things that might be good when finnished. QUICK_EDIT
...and the art code worked (i cant code art files:s )
yep, but ingame it doesn't played the last frame. In addition doesn't the anim looped in a round way, so that the flashlight sometimes jumped a bit. (last frame should be first frame minus one frame e.g. ABCDCB) _________________ SHP Artist of Twisted Insurrection: Nod buildings

man, terribly poor use of colours. There are, like, what, 2 remap colours used on that? And the rest is bare fill with one colour. Pretty awful. _________________ QUICK_EDIT
