hey I'd love those dragons to! But I don't think it's possible to import them into D2 but that'd be cool if it is possible! I'd make some supah hard Dragons like as hard as in BG2! Oh D2 would be so much cooler with those!  ------------------ I am one of the knights who say, NI! You are to cut down the biggest tree in the forest with a Herring!

BG2 does have pretty neat Dragons, but placing them into the D2 world is practically impossible . Unless you wanna take screenshots of the dragons from every angle they can go, and every frame of animation in every angle, then maybe you could do it. But who in their right mind would do that?!Another way is to get Black Isle Studois to send you all the pics.

Well what can you use to rip off the graphics? Now that I know it might be possible I just must have the dragons in D2!  ------------------ I am one of the knights who say, NI!

well,just never said its quite possible...rather quite impossible :Preasons : 1. just looked at the dragons.they dont fit into the 3-d view of diablo. it looks awful,when the beasts,chars etc dont fit exactly. 2. rip it : just think about using a tool like mpq2view ,mpq2k and dc6 for BG2,if there are any. go,extract the dragons gfx,and make them editable..i dont think its too easy. 3. hey,you reached all of it? cool,then go and change them to fit into the diablo2 dlls,as far as i know they got to be there sumwhere (correct me if am wrong)...should be possible with cv5 and the dcc saver (i guess). so....if you manage ALL those things,one question : do they still look that fine in D2 ?` and thinking of cv5 : its HELL of handwork,though !! gimme a sign if you need help in anything,IF you got the tools  ]chAos[Gore ------------------ No Brain...No Headache...

I also don't think the dragons form BG2 are at the right angle for D2. I've been browsing through the BG files and I'm pretty sure the dragons are stored somewhere in that folder named "data". If you can find a viewer like the MPQ viewer but for ".bif" files then maybe you can extract the dragons.

They've got some cool editing stuff there for BG2, but nothing that will help get the dragons' graphics.------------------ People say a little work won't kill you, but I'd rather not take the risk.

it should be possible.... if for no other reason that this hear me out...first, there are rpograms that will basically do a move frames thing arent there?.. anwyay you can **** your d2 character to look like a dragon.. then control him for every animation you wantto capture. providing you can capture animation files you will be set. the problem i see is this. your attack animation in bg2 wont be the approriate length for the animation you need in diablo2 (you can edit this in animadata?) also its too big but you can change that too right there are a whole heap of creatures from bg2 i woudl like to bring in  acutally i think i wanna go make a few new creature for bg2
