If you edited some BIF's using BifReader did you specifically SAVE the BIF before exiting Bifreader? You must do this or else you lose any changes. CHeck the BIF's again - are your changes still there?

You MUST change all 12 frames as the 12 frames represent a full movement sequence for any figure.

Which image recangles in the BIF did you change? Are you ABSOLUTELY 100% SURE that the units you view on the battlefield are USING these same image rectangles? Peruse the "Animations thread" (specifically for 'actions&#39http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif if you don't know I mean.

Are you ABSOLUTELY 100% SURE that you amended units are performing the action, pertinent to the images you changed, when you look at them?

Have you changed the Low res or Hi res BIF's. Are you sure your PC is using the correct resolution for these images when you start a battle? If are NOT SURE change both BIF's and try again.

If you ARE sure, then start a battle again and pause the game. Get the camera close to your amended units and right-click (or it may be left-click - can't remember). This will advance the frame sequence by 1 frame. Check the images CLOSELY. Can you see your changes on ANY frame?
