Customizing weapon sprites?

[Wyatt]

It's time consuming. Have to grab a basic weapon as a template, rip the .spr and .act apart, extract the .spr as several .bmp images, then using paint program create new .bmp images for each of the required frames, re-compile those finished .bmp images as the .spr. Then go through the .act for each frame as needed. Gotta have the right file names in place, as well as a few other things I'm probably not informed of.

I've got the spearfish weapon ripped apart cause I want to make it look like a fish for the animations.
One day I might actually work on it..

P.S. If someone gives me a blue santa hat, i'll drop everything and work on it.
