For my new spells, I plan on some customized overlays, to do things like a display 'Draining...' with a progress bar above the monsters' head when using Energy Drain on them, or a display 'Charging... 3 2 1' while System Shock is charging up. I have the spells, I just don't know whether increasing the size of the 'burn' damage graphic (for the Drain) or increasing the size AND length of the bone cast anim (for Sys Shock) is allowed and what I had to do for them to work.------------------ To practice the Arts of Modding is to be Damned.

I know that, I just want to know if the size of the graphic and animation length have to be the same.  ------------------ To practice the Arts of Modding is to be Damned. To master Them is to be Victorious. -D1 manual

Well, I know that when you change anims in the missiles.txt file and the animlen isn't right (i.e. it's too high...usually fine if it's too low) you get crashes.But overlay.txt doesn't seem to suffer from this problem much...which suggests you might be able to get away with a bit more when it comes to overlay animations not matching perfectly.  ------------------ - JEFF "A hero is no braver than anyone else.
