so what you have is a quite high number of single frames for the unit and its shadows.

You can now use IrfanView's batch conversion tool to rename them in a single sequence. The program is quite selfexplaining so i think it isnt necessary to explain it more detailed, but if you still have questions you can ask again.
But that single sequence isn't enough.
You need to convert all the frames into the same color palette. Because Irfanview isn't able to do this and XCC-mixer really needs to have them in the same palette
i take Corel Photopaint's batch conversion tool where i can select a script that gets used while conversion.
So i made a script that converts one picture into the unittem.pal palette from TS, and then uses this script in the batch conversion for all frames.
Adobe Photoshop has this batch conversion too, and it should also be able to convert the palette. At least you can use any program that you can get, for the palette conversion.

If you finally have all frames in a single sequence with all of them in the same C&C palette you can use the XCC-mixer to convert the sequence in a new shp unit.

P.S.: good to see someone else making shp's. I hope you enjoy it as much as i do.
P.P.S.: again, if you have questions, i see what i can do, to help you further.
