Can you put up like four files with a zip and then after I download them, you can put up the others or perhaps all the files together in one zip file?------------------ God gave me a brain to use but I miserably failed to use it to my advantage

Ok, I downloaded all the files so you can take them off your site if you want. Now, these files are REALLY messed. Some of the camera angles have NO images on them but they still play...and some sequences have only a few frames that have something on it. For example, one of the neutral images for the front angle would be:frame1 Empty frame2 Empty frame3 half of the monster frame4 very small part of the monster frame5 Empty etc. So, what's up with this? ------------------ God gave me a brain to use but I miserably failed to use it to my advantage

Ok, stargazer, can you repost all of the Demigorgon files without the missing frames? Because there are many that are missing and I don't have a clue what to do. So, rextract them and repost the "unerrored" ones.  ------------------ God gave me a brain to use but I miserably failed to use it to my advantage

I just want to see how far I can get with it, you can do it to and since you will finish faster than me, I just want to experience multipart monsters and how to do them.------------------ God gave me a brain to use but I miserably failed to use it to my advantage

I haven't seen anybody else claim them, so I have started converting the D1 succubi. I have ripped the CL2s and converted them to animated GIFs, with the correct orientation of the eight directions. I also have a palshift file for the three alternate types. Many thanks to Nefarious and the excellent conversion tutorial, or I would be quite lost! I am new at this part of modding, so it will probably take me a few days to get a set of files together---if anybody gets impatient I won't mind if I am beaten to the punch. After I finish the figures, I want to get their bloodstars as a form of missile attack, so the animations are relatively seamless.

Cool, hey KingCold, can you do the IWD or BGII Bone Golem? Also, I think I need to update the list of already converted monsters so I'll do that right now.Diablo1/Hellfire: Acid Beast Bat Biclops Bloodknight Crypt Demon Defiler Diablo Fallen Brute Gargoyle Hell Boar Hork Demon Hork Spawn King Leoric Lich Magma Demons Na-krul Necromorbs Overlord Psychorbs Scorpions Shredded Stormrider Vipers Hidden Dark Mage Advocate Baldurs Gate I/II: Air Elemental Fire Elemental Demon Knight Lich Tanari(Spinx) Irongolem John Irenicus Serrated Skeleton Axe Goblin Red Dragon Werewolf Otyguh Wyvern Some guy in armor and sword(forgot name)
Icewind Dale: Ice Elemental Water Elemental Earth Elemental Fire Elemental Who is working on what: KingCold I believe is working on the Demogorgon as well as others. King, since you are very good at doing the hard ones like the multipart ones, can you do those instead of doing the easy ones because I can only do the easy ones and not the hard ones. I believe Badasswerewolf is working on the vampires but not sure. I'm working on the Beholder and the PitFiend as well as the SkullWings. I believe Nefarius said he was going to do the Flesh Thing and you are doing the Succubus. Not sure what Incandescent One is converting at the moment though...Incandescent, can you do the Rhino demons? ------------------ God gave me a brain to use but I miserably failed to use it to my advantage

Hey Apocalypse, I'll be doing the Rhino demons next, I'm currently working on 2 things, a Storm rider plug-in variation to replace Bats that was requested, & a plug-in to replace Doomknights with Blackknights (although it's only a matter of minutes to convert the monsters, a lot of people are still getting frustrated cos they don't know how to get the monsters in the game, so i'm spending most of my time creating plug-ins so that everyone can use them). My current list of conversions is: Acidbeast - Diablo1 Advocate - Diablo1 Bat - Diablo1 Bigfallen - Diablo1 Darkmage - Diablo1 Leoric - Diablo1 Stormrider- Diablo1 Defiler - Hellfire Horkspawn - Hellfire I'm generally going to carry on going through diablo1 till they're all done

Incandescent One, don't bother making plugins for anyone, it's too time consuming. Because, they might not want a certain monster replaced and then they will demand a plugin for a different monster. And there are already tutorials on hex editing the animdata, no need to make plugins, only time consuming.------------------ God gave me a brain to use but I miserably failed to use it to my advantage

Cool, looks good. Hmm, okay I'm almost finished the Beholder and am also going to do the Skull Wings(just need a good pallette or I might give it to KingCold for the pallette since I"m pallette illiterate. )Hmm, any other cool monsters we can make? Anyone care to do the PitFiend since all the BAMs I downloaded from badasswerewolf seem VERY screwed up(each BAM has a mixture of neutral, attacking, walking, etc frames and sequences combined.:eek . Sooo, I'm having alot of trouble converting BAMs with errors in them. Oh, and badasswerewolf, I need those walking and casting animations for the Beholder, the last three BAMs are all corrupted.------------------ God gave me a brain to use but I miserably failed to use it to my advantage
