Been off the boards for a tad, but I've been busy. Now to flesh out my graphics I've fully completed and offsetted the following<>Cornugon, Abishai, Evil Treant, Evil Brute, Ghreleth<> My email server went down recently but will be comming up saturday and will have them all zipped up for export. Apoc>I will send you them all the first chance I get so try to have the email folder empty saturday afternoon, lol. Alkalund> Same to you, Sending over, feel free to put on your site if you have the room. Goro> Got that staff done and will be sent to yeh also. If I'm lucky I might beable to get one or two more monsters done before my self made deadline. I have some remaining issues with some recent grahpical changes to my mod as well. 1)Has anyone attempted to replace the wraiths and ot goatmen with different graphics and have you done this succesfully (ie: no errors)? 2)Is there a way to remove transparancies from monsters in the wraith slot, COF seems to have no effect. 3) Dont think I have one. Well, thats about it, I'll keep ya'll posted. 2)

Sure Krazoth, send me your files when you have the time, I'd appreciate it very much. Unfortunately, my web site was shut down, and I have no plans of making another one right now But Trip said he's got some 500MB, and is willing to upload our animations  I've been away from the boards lately as well, lots of real life stuff to deal with... See ya bro! ------------------ "Get me a balrog attack-1 hand-to-hand animation, and I want it yesterday, the paladin is almost here!" ---> DMA1HTH @ offset 0006A480h. - Myhrginoc

Yeah, recently I overestimated the competence of my internet provider too, and was rewarded with days of sluggish connection and bouncing e-mails...  Don't worry, things will work out eventually  ------------------ "Get me a balrog attack-1 hand-to-hand animation, and I want it yesterday, the paladin is almost here!" ---> DMA1HTH @ offset 0006A480h. - Myhrginoc

Yep, in the mean time, I've been working on converting item graphics from EverQuest, found a nice website that had all the item graphics on it. Got about 30 or so done, and those are just the ones I think of as good, I may go back and do all the stuff for completeness' sake.------------------ "I have destroyed planes, I can unmake you!" -Transcendant One

Hmm... since you're doing inventory gfx perhaps you can give me a hand here:1) what program do you use? 2) Must I apply the Diablo2's palette to each inventory graphic before converting them to dc6? 3) While using the D1 graphics itempack I downloaded here from the keep, the item graphics appear messed up in some acts (acts 4 and 5 are usually the worst, with some incorrect colored pixels, it's really annoying). What could be causing this? I want to make some inventory graphics based on Ultima IX stuff. I already dumped the graphics I wanted (as of now they're 16M color bmps with black background). How should I procede to use them in D2??? Hope you can answer some (or hopefully all) of those  ------------------ "Get me a balrog attack-1 hand-to-hand animation, and I want it yesterday, the paladin is almost here!" ---> DMA1HTH @ offset 0006A480h. - Myhrginoc

"2) Must I apply the Diablo2's palette to each inventory graphic before converting them to dc6?"Apply the appropriate pallettes. Convert to bmp with 256 color, then make the background completely black(0,0,0), then convert to .dc6 with Dc6maker. "3) While using the D1 graphics itempack I downloaded here from the keep, the item graphics appear messed up in some acts (acts 4 and 5 are usually the worst, with some incorrect colored pixels, it's really annoying). What could be causing this?" I have not had such problems with the item packs...not sure what the problem is here. Which items from the itempack did you use? "I want to make some inventory graphics based on Ultima IX stuff. I already dumped the graphics I wanted (as of now they're 16M color bmps with black background). How should I procede to use them in D2???" Change them to bmp or gif files, edit the pallettes and backgrounds, then convert them with dc6maker into .dc6 files and you are done.

Thanks for the quick response Apocalypse Demon, it seems simple enough. What program do you use to make all the necessary changes to the bmp files?As for the itempack, I had these problems with every graphic I tested; can't remember all of them, but two of them were shield10 and misc05h. Don't know what could be wrong here  ------------------ "Get me a balrog attack-1 hand-to-hand animation, and I want it yesterday, the paladin is almost here!" ---> DMA1HTH @ offset 0006A480h. - Myhrginoc

Don't you have Paint? That is the best for modifying bmps.

HAHA, do you mean Ms-Paint that comes with windows ??? Geez, and I was expecting you'd say some 3 thousand dollar software with a 15 day trial to be downloaded somewhere hahaha... Yep I have paint, finally I'll use that one for something then  ------------------ "Get me a balrog attack-1 hand-to-hand animation, and I want it yesterday, the paladin is almost here!" ---> DMA1HTH @ offset 0006A480h. - Myhrginoc

Im using that Ultimate Paint demo someone put up a link to earlier. As for the messed up pixels, Do you play in windowed mode? If so that is the problem, When i tested this in full screen there were no color shifts between acts. With the items I've created, playing in normal fullscreen (like most people will) it looks fine. To Wyvern, Yea, Ive had issues converting weapons too as most sword graphics are just too small, but I made some nifty daggers ------------------ "I have destroyed planes, I can unmake you!" -Transcendant One

Nowadays, I always play in windowed mode and I haven't run into any colour distortions in items from the itempacks.
