Well, you should get an example mod to start with. It really helps learning from a mod than starting from scratch.

Hmmm.... I think you are referring to resolution. Read openbor manual and read section of video.txt

How do i know whats the right action in a enemies or players textfile.

That's why you should get a mod to learn from. When reading enemy or player's text file, also view the images defined in an animation. That's how I learn what each animation does.
Manual explains details of each animation if you want to know more.

am i suppose to use gif or png

It's best to use png.
gifs are only for animated gifs used in cutscenes.
