You need animdata.d2 to change the frame count of the animation.

Hey Gorothon, that's exactly how it works. Firstly, you don't need an animdata file provided you use the plug-in as it is written, (eg. Horkspawns replacing Spike Fiends) as i've matched the framecounts of the old anim with the replacement, as you're not changing any framecounts you don't need to hex-edit animdata to suit it.
Secondly, as the number of frames is the same you don't need to use a different .cof file, (if you don't make any changes to, for example, levels.txt in your mod, you don't need to include it. The game will take the original levels.txt from the .mpq file. This works the same with the cof folder, we can leave it out as we're not changing it, the game will read all the original .cof files from the original .mpq!).
I thought this would definitely be the way to go with plug-ins, because in theory you could add as many as you want without touching a hex-editor (aimed at the people that don't want to have anything to do with hex) and leaving out animdata & cof folders will obviously reduce the overall size of the mod they're in
And also, to save time & make things easier, i included the readme file detailing all entries required in the different .txt files to make it work, so that you can just locate the information that's been modded & just copy/paste it to your own files.
So there you go Gorothon, it's as you say, as long as you stick to the token grafix change that the plug-in uses
And no worries Apocalypse Demon, i released the converted anims a lot earlier than the plug-ins for people like yourself who could quite happily take 'em away & make something yourself

edit: oh and by the way, i realised all of this after i had done the Leoric plug-in, so i'll be reworking my plug-in version of Leoric so that it's in this easier format, also, as Leoric was the first i didn't think of adding a readme file detailing the changes, i'll include that as well in the finished version.

Hey Gorothon, i missed the death sounds for the bat plug-in for one simple reason: They replace Swarms & swarms don't have a death sound, i didn't want to even think about the consequences of adding new sound effects into the sounds.txt file (hint: tick,tick,tick........) That's the only reason why, thanx for sending me the files, but i already have them & they're already in the .zip file for the bat anims & sounds (not the plug-in).
Hehehe, it was one of those corner cutting things that you hope no one will notice. I picked the swarm as they were low level flying creatures from the middle of the game which seemed suitable, although they are missing the death sound i couldn't imagine replacing any other monster.
Thanx for pointing it out tho, i welcome feedback from anyone that uses the plug-ins, it's always nice to know what other people think

Hey Gorothon, it's rather cold over here in the uk at the moment, as a result i've got half an engine on my coffee table (too cold to work outside!) but once i've fixed my car i'll be as busy as ever, halfway thru converting the big fallen (i picked this at random, it's got to be one of the worst looking anims in the game!) which will be followed by my plans for Leoric. After that i'll make sure i get the overlords done
The butcher image is looking pretty cool by the way, especially when you've got 2 on the screen at the same time, bit like synchronized swimming!! Hopefully i should be getting my hands on that ever elusive Hellfire cd soon as well (i know you're gonna ask me what i need from it, but one thing at a time bro, i'll stick to diablo1 for now)
