Does everyone know what I am talking about with the subject? Those secret chars you can download off the net? I think I have also heard them called "avatars"? They show up as stuff like the Medic from StarCraft, the sorcerer, warrior, and rogue from Diablo 1, and an orc from Warcraft; but if you try to play them they turn into a Sorceress or something else? How complete are they? How hard would it be to make them work properly (so you could kick Diablo's ass as a Marine)?If anyone wants to take a look at these avatars, let me know.

Avatars have only enough animations to look reasonably active on the game select screen...they are not adequately equipped to handle all the animations necessary for gameplay...not anywhere near enough, as far as I know.------------------ - JEFF "A hero is no braver than anyone else. He is only brave five minutes longer." For my latest mod (for LoD/expansion), download at http://www.fileplanet.com/dl/dl.asp?/planetdiablo/phrozenkeep/mods/sic_beta.zip - Or for old stuff (for classic D2), visit my orignal mod site at www.planetdiablo.com/sanctuary

lol. 'the hidden chars'. May i please ask where you 'heard this off the net'? Because i really am confused since i have never heard any of this stupidity before. Did you just see them in chat and think they were hidden or something?? MOst likely...the Marines are SC, the Medics are SCX and the Orcs are W2BNE. Either that or, if they are in D2 channels, they are bots. NONE of those animations are even enough for an npc. I tryed a while ago, they just blink on and off if you replace two or three (of three) graphics for an npc, and if you only replace one, they are there for one second, blink and then the game crashes. Secret characters. lol.------------------ Everyone is born to pass the test of life. Everyone fails.

Oh, and so that you know, there are more than that. There is some guy with a Skateboard (!?!?! ya think Blizzard is secretly making Diablo 3 Pro Skater?), the Barmaid chick (go to public chat if you don't know what i mean), some old red dude, the big moderator guy and some dude with a cape. That's all i cna remember off the top of my head, but there's probably more. Check out o1-9 (i think thats what it is) in d2data.mpq>data\global\monsters\o# (Using cV5, so that you can view the animations also).------------------ Everyone is born to pass the test of life.

With a little monster editing, you could get an avatar to work as an NPC. But they would be static like D1's NPCs.

Oh believe me, they are VERY static. And did i mention that they blink? (no i do not mean with their eyes, i mean that every 8 frames or something they disappear).------------------ Everyone is born to pass the test of life. Everyone fails.

It's not about fixing, what needs to be done is called "synchronizing". In other words, you need to make sure your eyes blink the exact same moment the character disappears...:-)Sorry, bad joke, I know, but I couldn't resist. ------------------ So much bandwidth, so little time
