so i'm like trying to get rendered animations from studio max and it does this:

plasma0000.bmp
plasma0001.bmp
plasma0002.bmp

plasgoo0000.bmp
plasgoo0001.bmp
etc.,
i have photoshop and paintshop and i batch convert to .pcx and the ra2anim pallete
okay, right, xcc understands and shows the pics but i try to copy as shp and get error 1.
so:
1.how many digits?
2.is there problem with filename?
3.you know some batch naming program?
4.anything else?
