Ok first its animdata.d2, not .dll

Myhrginoc was working on the cof file structure, so there is not much we not yet about how to properly edit them.

Basically to modify a monster's animation we convert animated gif files into dcc files; important information of each animation in the game is stored in animdata.d2, such as the animation framecount. So, if you're replacing an animation with another that has a different framecount, you need to hexedit that animation's framecount information in animdata.d2.
then you must find appropriate cof files to avoid some crashes I can post more info on this if you want.

Actually there is a method I posted to replace monsters animations that does not require hexediting animdata.d2 nor messing up with cof files. You can find it here:

And here is the animation tutorial by nefarius, you can find lots of info here as well:

Thanks again, ALkalund. [Edit: Never mind, ignore what used to be here, I somehow thought that Nef's tut on the keep was FoxBats (prob. because he imported the Blood Knights before the tut was written. )]

Thnx.
