The D1 sorc has quite a few images, but each D2 character has upwards of 4500. You'll be doing a lot of cut-and-fit.

Hmmm... Seems like a lot of work.
Hmmm... How do I make the Sorc look like the Necro and the Necro like the Sorc?
That would be better than spending 5 years changing the Sorc to look like a real Wizard, I think

Just look up all the names and then swap them.

If you want to make a wizard you could also try to make it with 3D Studio MAX

A while back, I believe I saw a Mod that used the D1 Wizard to replace the D2 Sorceress. I wish I could remember what it was for you :-( I'll check my pc to see if I happen to still have the mod-mayhap it could give you an idea...

When you finally have what you want you can render it. When you have done that, it can be saved as 2d images

I couldn't find the mod w/ the sorc gfx I previosly mentioned. But, if you take a look at Zhoulomocrypt, the author DID replace the Sorceress character w/ the Druid animations, naming it a Sorcerer.

I'm not exactly sure how to do it myself, but you may be able to use CV5(cel viewer) to take the original D1 Sorc animations from Diablo 1's diabdat.mpq and replace it w/ the Sorceress's animations. I'm sure someone at the Keep may be able to help you figure it out. You might also ask Zhoulomcrist how he/she did it.

I will keep looking for that mod I mentioned though ;-)

Nah, I changed the sorc to look like the necro and the necro to look like the sorc. That's good enough for now. Thanks for searching anyway!

Taking the d1 wizard to put over the d2 sorc is pretty hard. caracters have like more than 5000 animations!

Nah, you just have to do the all naked look (set eg. legs to be the full anim, and all others one pixel transparent anims). Not much work (*ahem*), just 13 anims (a1, s1, sc, bl, gh, tn, nu, wl, rn, tw, kk, dt, dd). Then you also do the look with for example an axe. Use the same anims (doh). Then in the txt files set all weapons to axe, all armors to 0 0 0 0 0 0 0. The axe part is necessary because otherwise when you use normal attack it will look for a 'dzlita2hth' anim or something like that, which doesn't exist. (all weapons have two attacks except lit) Kinda stupid to lose twice the filesize just for normal attack, but so it goes. I decided against it andjust removed normal attack, otherwise my file would inflate to 50 Mb. Now it's just 25.

And of course you have to convert all anims to 16 directions & correct framecount. There is no cof file you can find that'll work for characters.

That's exactly what I've been doing! It does give problems with normal attack (dzlglita2hth does not exist) but it reduces the filesize from like 45 Mb to 25.
