He all!I've been trying to understand this offsets, COF and Animdata.d2 editting business. Read all 3 tutorials on the keep about monster modding/changing but I'm absolutly stuck. I don't understand them totally. What I would like to do is replace andariel with one of the new plugins Na-Krul, But I haven't got a clue what to change nor where to begin

hmm seems to be challenging ...Andariel is almost multipart IIRC, maybe should start with something simpler. the principe of changing animations is simple : 1. seek for the dcc name file of the animation you want to change. 2. Get the frameo**** of these files 3. Grab your WOONNDEERFUL new animations, convert it in dcc or grab aplug in. 4. the trickiest par : - if you have done the conversion by yourself, adjust the offset using CV5 and the good old paladin's conviction's trick (see ealier post) - if you use a plug in, check for a readme and insert the files where you must. If you want i could take a look at the conversion na-krul/Andariel and do it for you as an example ( with notes and instrcutions step by step )

I would REALLY appreciate that (step by step instrucs), and thnx muchos for it in advance!  Need to get some experience and practice with this since more and more plugins are beeing spread with just dccs not ready to be replaced with any beastie in particular, like the onces from Incandescent One (Owboy do I like those )

ok, starting this tonight.be patient, two or three days .. BTW, don't expect Nakrul to be as big as andy, i already try this one and it's a bit small compare to her. ------------------ --------------------------------------- Diablo II : Cabal Wars -- Enter the ANATOLIA MUD'S MOD --- ---------------------------------------

joel you can make it big as andy very easy by resizing it. you can use GIF or psp to do it.Just a thought.

hey joel did you have any problems with pixilate? I used jasc animation to make a chicken as large as a fallen and then used paint pro 7 to fill in some pixels. seems to work pretty good. huge pain though to do it that way.

well, the trick is i use blur to get rid of the pixel forms. So ...The tru problem i that gif are 256 colors and do not supprt he hefty powerful Mitchell's resampling method. The one thing i do is to export frames to PSP and do Mitchell's resampling intrue color, go back to ASp and save the stuff. However, NA Krul seems big enough. ------------------ --------------------------------------- Diablo II : Cabal Wars -- Enter the ANATOLIA MUD'S MOD --- ---------------------------------------
