Well, the shadows don't look right. They look whitish grey when they should be black. But the monsters work fine. I substituted the Darknights for Blunderbores just to test them. Well, they look correct and look quite good. However, the shadow colors need adjusting. And for some reason, I kill the normal blacknights and they die normally. I kill a cold enchanted one and CRASH!!! Never tried the other ones but I suspect there might be some issues with the shadows. Hmm, either change the colors of the shadows to what they should be OR take out the shadows completely and just rely on the "shadow" column in monstats.txt to control the shadow.------------------ God gave me a brain to use but I miserably failed to use it to my advantage

unfortunatly takeing out the shadows is much easier said then done, i could make them black but the way d2 changes the color of monsters i dont think it would really change much, ill look into the shqadow thing when im done this tanri(sometime tomorrow) i am now able to translate baldur's gate soundfiles aswell so ill be including those with my conversions------------------ "I Have Risin From The Ashes Of Death More Powerfull Than Ever"

Okay Kingcold, it seems all of your animations(or most of them) have that shadow problem. Your shadow is gray with other colors mixed in it when it should be black. So, I spawned your blacknights from BGII, the pic can be found at www.apocalypsedemon.freeservers.com/index.html You will see from that picture that the shadow is really strange. So, I was thinking if you can make the shadow deleted so all I have to do is put a 1 in the shadow column in monstats.txt and it will give a black shadow. Because right now, it gives me two shadows, a black and a white gray one. I need the white one off. ------------------ God gave me a brain to use but I miserably failed to use it to my advantage

Why don't you just flood fill the shadows with the transparent bg color? Shouldn't that solve it?------------------ To practice the Arts of Modding is to be Damned. To master Them is to be Victorious. -D1 manual

Don't worry about it, you did everything perfect but never did anything about the shadow, it isn't really an error.  ------------------ God gave me a brain to use but I miserably failed to use it to my advantage
