      This would be a better topic for the Dev Corner.

      Welcome!

      And yes, this would belong in the Dev Corner. But I'll try to answer your question anyway.

      To have a sprite in game, you actually need to have rendered a something in a 3D app or a 2D app. If you made it in a 3D app, then you'll need to spin the object around in an animation, recording frames at the correct moments. This movie can then be turned into the Nova sprite layout with EnRLE, if I'm correct. However, I have never used EnRLE, so I don't know.

      It sounds like you may also need p2s, available here. It will convert a set of PICT formatted frames into sprite format, which can then be turned into rlë8/Ds using EnRle.

      actually, the pict files i used were made from the p2 software. they created frames all in one thingy. i put the picts in my missioncomputor file, and did the shan stuff. I set the baseimageID's to the IDs of the PICTs and the base set count to 1. It still doesnt work.
