The three bams of the beholder have the same error in them. I believe it's because of an oversized BAM file, not sure though. See, I need the following BAM files:walking and a casting one(if he has one). I'm finished the other ones. Oh, and did you look at my attack1 animation, you will see that for some reason in the right animation, instead of the beholder lunging forward and biting, he lunges backwards and bites and I don't know why that is happening. Perhaps because it's close to the edge of the animation background. Will it be a problem? Will the Beholder actually move backwards and bite instead of moving forwards and biting(which he is supposed to do)?

Now, I don't know why there is an oversized bam error, does it have anything to do with the compression of it in a zip? Can you upload the casting and walking BAM files seperately instead of in one zip to avoid BAM compression errors? And it seems the whole PitFiend BAMs are all screwed up and missing frames just like the Demogorgons.

Apoc, I think what I'll do is convert the Beholder BAM's to GIF's and then upload them in a new zip. Check in a little while. If this works for you, then I'll do the same with the Pitfiend.

You are right about the Beholder attack not looking right when he faces right.

What happened is that when you flipped the animation to create this camera angle it was flipped about the window centerline, not the background centerline. I hope this makes sense to you. Oftentimes the background doesn't fill the whole frame. You have to make it fill the frame to get a correct "flip". Or you can adjust the X offset to correct it. I believe I described this method in a long previous post in a different thread.

Ok, can I send you all my completed animations and you do the walking and neutral yourself then?

Dang, this is going to take me longer than I thought....and I'm going to eat dinner now.

Apoc, I won't be ble to upload those Beholder Gif's till much later tonight. Sorry. As far as other monsters are concerned. Sure I can help you do the conversions, but I have to put time in other projects too...so I may not go as fast as you would like.

I'm trying to create a couple of custom monsters (it's a surprise).

I don't necessarily need help with the conversions, I already did the neutral, gethit, attack1, dying and corpse, all I need is the walking and casting. So, I'll send you my completed .dccs and you can do the walking and casting and then upload them.

Ok, I sent you all my animations so inspect them and tell me if they are done properly.

I suggest downloading WinAce since it compresses files more than Winzip. And if I use Winzip, I won't be able to send them in one zip. Just download WinAce, it's much better

Hey the files you uploaded I do NOT need. I already converted those files, what I need is the WALKING and CASTING animation, not the attack bite.
