I've been thinking about creating new explosion sprites for Warzone for some time now. but the texfiles were really confusing, does anybody have info on how big the sprites for the different explosions are, which explosions are used in which situations (those 16 frames on page-20-fx.png are those that are used for artillery and such, but there are a lot of smaller explosions also, and some I don't think I've ever seen ingame, like those on page-21-fx).
Also, I noticed the png's use 256 color palettes, do I have to use those exact palettes or could I edit them without strange things happening in game, or could I possibly even set the color depth higher (like 16 or 24-bit colors)?
I've attached a small 5-frame animation I drew (64x64 at the moment), please say what you think of it as well, I don't know if people would prefer the original WZ explosions over this style?

(edit: changed the animation to a bit slower so you can actually see the frames, sorry).
