The converted monster list is in this very thread...but it needs slight updates, I need to add the Ettin, orcs, minifire elemental, pitfiends and a few others.

Hey where have you been? You still have to fix the Fire elemental "bugs." And it looks like my first main conversion is the PitFiend and it's done. And it works fine.

Not a bad point...for that reason and others, I may not upload everything you guys are coverting, though I am pretty much downloading everything to my hard drive just in case.

That being said, Novus and Alkalund...if you don't e-mail me and tell me "no," I may upload your conversions to the Keep. If you're cool with that, you can say nothing. If you aren't cool with it, e-mail me and let me know.

Just do what you think is best, I'm cool with that.

I suggest you fix the cutoffs for the corpse animation because the head seems cut off.

Apocalypse Demon, I checked this closely, they're not cutoff, i'ts just that the head is not aligned with the leopard's spine when it dies. You can see the head's movement in the death animation, I took the corpse's frames from there (in fact I only deleted all but the last one in each direction, and saved the file as the corpse).
The problem with the vanishing, however, is still there, but only with the downright direction of the neutral animation. I don't know what can be causing that.

Since people seem to be claiming whos doing what here, I think I'll stake my claims as well. Only converting these to GiFs for now. So far ive converted the Cornugon from BG2,
Heres what ive got planned:
Belhifet from IWD
Beetles from IWD
Brother Poquelin from IWD (only if i can manage to create a death anim though)
Umber Hulks from IWD
Black Orogs from IWD
aaaand the Black Shades from IWD
should have em done by end of this weekend.

Well, I have the Umber Hulks from BGII already converted. I just don't have any place to upload. SubSanity said he might upload them for me though.

It will take quite a while to get that monster done though...anyways, I have the Beholder, Salamander, PitFiend and Umber Hulk done. So, I'll send them to you tomorrow or maybe today. But the PitFiend files are HUGE and will take many e-mails.

The Cornugon files had a few errors in them and I have fixed them. I will send it back to him. Also, Krazoth, can you send me the walk animation(or you fix it)? Because you never sent me it. And where is this monster in the BGII Bam files, can't find him. And doesn't he have some sort of breath attack instead of just melee?

Tried sending the walk, but said it was too big, ill try it again, mabey it was overload due to sending all at once. By errors, do you mean the transparansies? because i finally figuredo ut how to do those. And yes, it does have the breath weapon, its the same animation as sig, but since Cornugon is my first one, I figured I would try to put the Cornugon over a melee type monster then upgrade it to a caster/melee later and then put that anim in. In infinitiy explorer, the directory is called 25lWanim.bif, hes the first set of animations. Also in there is the Glabrezu and some sort of shadow mage.

I don't see any directory called 25lWanim.bif. Anyways, you need to edit transparency, make it endlessly loop.

Its an expansion one (the directoy and animations that is), in the BAM animations section its near the top, thats about the best way i can describe its location. As for the animations, i figured out transparansies, now i just need to figure out centering and the endless looping? any idea if there are special features for this? In the middle of cheking myself as it is, but help is always apreciated.

You don't really need to center the animation. To endlessly loop, go to Animation--> Properties-->and change the "Number of Iterations" to 0 which means endless loop.

I got your walking animations and they are fixed. But your casting animation looks screwed, it's about 1/2 the size of the original monster. Also, the water elemental that you are working on, is it the one from IceWindDale or what? If it's from BGII, what bif is it located in because I'm having trouble finding some of the monsters with infinity explorer.

Thanks man, glad you liked it; oh, and I also learned a new smily with your post, many thx!!!!

Apocalypse Demon: is the Pit fiend you converted the monster in the MCOR#.bam files??? I don't remember seeing the monster in those files anywhere in the game. It really looks like some sort of Manticore. Does anyone that played BG2 and throne of Bhaal remember where that monster appears???
