You need the suiting granny2.dll (that supports/contains GrannyBeginFileDecompression) to be copied to the Noesis folder.

I tried with this .dll straight from the game:

to no avail. is there a list of certain granny .dll s?

[shakotay2]

I have no idea. But this "straight from the game" dll doesn't contain "GrannyBeginFileDecompression", so there must be something wrong.

You probably need the 2.11.8.0 version of granny.dll

Give me an example gr2 from that Game.

That's correct, sir.

It's also possible you might need an earlier version of the plug in?
I can't remember all the changes and I also run a custom version of the plug in done for me.
Then I changed things from that to do what I wanted.

version 2.11.8.0 worked for me

thanks for the help

Yep. Opens fine for me with 2.11.8.0 Granny.dll

My version of the plug in is a special debug version done for me.
Then I changed a few things to extract only needed animation frames information from the debug window.
It skips any blank stuff and is also modified to arrange the out put in a certian format.
I can then take that information, run it through an 010 script I wrote to do new animations in the Silent Hunter 4 format.

That Sounds nice! So you were able to replace sh4 anims already? Id Like to See that in a Video If possible.

I figured out the animations for SH3 and SH4 years ago!
I'm 1 of only 2 people that ever did new animations for SH3.
As far as SH4? I'm the only one that can make or modify the animations.
I even TOLD people how to do it!

Damn man...freaking awesome! Guys Like you make this Forum what it is

Did the Silent Hunter stuff since 2005.
Now? I've retired from that and concentrate on building my Air Guns.

[Henchman800]

Is there a way to import animations from multiple .gr2 files and export them in one animation track?

Read the Options settings available in the python file.
I'm thinking you can do that.
Never actually tried myself and I do run a Custom version of the python file.

I did have a 010 script that made editing the settings real quick and easy but I deleted it.
