Hmph - I may as well say it now, as I'll probably complain about it soon enough:
If you'll look above, I have an ActiveAnimation set. I can use WestWood's active animations (such as the GAAIRC anims) [all of these animations are SHPs, by the way], but my own animations, which I compiled from PCX to SHP using XCC Mixer->Copy as SHP (TS), simply do not work. They never show up. It's like my first attempt at making a structure, where the image would never show up. Except, I know I'm putting these animations into the proper mix files, and I know I'm doing it properly. The game just refuses to acknowledge them.

Anyways, have fun with the INI info.
