Oh my ... where shall I start? (Edit: this was meant to be kidding, that's why I put the winking smiley there)
Well, first of all you obviously did not follow (or understand) the guide, but I hope I can explain in simple words how to save your situation:

1. you don't need any *.swa files at all. You can delete them.
2. you need the animtoolsV[currentversionnumber].swf and
3. you need the animtoolsV[currentversionnumber].txt
4. place thefile animtoolsV[currentversionnumber].swf in the subfolder Mods\$INIT of your loader folder
   = Mods\$INIT\animtoolsV26.swf
5. place thefile animtoolsV[currentversionnumber].txt in the subfolder Settings of your loader folder
   = Settings\animtoolsV26.txt
6. add the following line
   animtoolsV26.swf
   somewhere in the middle of the file Mods.txt in the subbolder Mods\$INIT of your loader folder
   = Mods\$INIT \Mods.txt

HTH

I dont have animtoolsV.swf or a animtoolsV.txt, you can in the screenshots what i have, is it on another folder? can you show me where it's supposed to be?

Not the sharpest tool in the box, hm? (Edit: this one wasn't necessary - sorry for that)

When I write:

animtoolsV[currentversionnumber].swf ​

I mean to replace [currentversionnumber] with the current version number, so the real filenames are:

animtoolsV26.swf
animtoolsV26.txt ​

I was almost expecting this and that's why wrote the real filenames in a second line after the "=" (even marked them red now)

[Mr_koozit]

I dont have any of these files

Am i missing something?

 

[Rudgar]

Are you sure you can handle a computer? (Edit: this one wasn't necessary, too - sorry for that, too)

I bet you have the files. I just downloaded the mod by myself and found animtoolsV26.txt in the root folder of the unpacked zip-file


and the animtoolsV26.swf in the subfolder source

It's the file called "animtoolsV26" in the "source" folder you need. Your file extensions are hidden, so you don't see the .swf ending.

Did you finally place the required files at the correct locations and did you edit the file Mods.txt?

yes and it dosent work

 

[Rudgar]

Well, to me it still looks like a "pebcak" aka "runtime error 55" *shrugs* sorry, tough luck, can't help it. (Edit: sorry, I was pretty much frustrated, but I could have written this more polite though, maybe like:)
Well, but it should work, though.
I give up, sorry for being unable to help you.

This is the second time I've seen you not even read the thread and give the OP shit for no reason. If you're just going to insult people and be unhelpful then please stop replying to help threads.

Please confirm that Animtools is being loaded.

If you're not seeing what's in this screen shot try clicking those little white buttons with light arrows on them in the bottom left. If you still don't see the animtools page you have not installed it correctly.

Click the red 'keys' button and the Animtools interface should pop up. Now editmode is actually enable and your keys should work.

 

[Rudgar]

This is the second time I've seen you[...]

Oh, I wasn't aware that someone's counting ...
Did you also count how many times I tried to help others in total?

[...] you not even read the thread and give the OP shit for no reason. [...]

If you would heave read the OP actually as well as the answers to my explanations, you would maybe see that there are actually more than "no" reasons to get frustrated.

[...] If you're just going to insult people and be unhelpful [...]

You quoted one single "insulting" line from four of my posting, ignoring all the other lines trying to explain patiently in most simple words how he could fix his situation. Begging your pardon for not being aware that all these other lines are just "unhelpful". At least I tried being helpful. With more than one line.

[...] then please stop replying to help threads.

Oh, trust me: after realizing that the attempt to help in some cases is nothing but waste of time, i will stop replying. Promised.

Now to sum up:
I admit that I was not that polite as I mabye could have been - sorry for that.
Also sorry in case someone seriously feels insulted.
And most importantly: Thank you, The Hacker Known As Snow , for pointing out my misbehaviour. I woudn't have a chance to better my manners without such hints.
Blame me for being a sometimes rude German.
But don't blame for not sincerly trying to be helpful.

I've been following this thread and was getting concerned about some comments that were rude. If the behavior had continued action would have been taken.

HOWEVER, since an apology was issued and accepted, I am not taking action.

Members are reminded that the first of our rules specifically states
"Conduct

Be kind to thy fellow perv

I know some days it's not easy, but try to follow the golden rule. If at any point you feel upset or annoyed, take a step back and reassess the situation."

Link to site rules is in my siggie.
Please use the site REPORT funciton to report posts that contain rude/insulting comments.
