> I'm new to .shp editing - I've made a new infantry .shp for RA2, it works, but the shadows have gone a bit pear.. it seems to have 2 shadows, one solid black, pointing in same direction for all facings. The other shadow is "translucent", and affects units facing north, north-west, west and south-west, making a mirror image of the infantry on the ground.

You need to convert to PCX to see the extra frames. They're probably all black.
