Okay, now that there has been a great breakthrough with these monster conversions, it seems we can convert pretty much anything from BG, hellfire, etc. So, I think since there are a few people on this project like Nefarius, LordQuapla, Incandescent One, badasswerewolf, KingCold as well as me(I'm going to start some conversions of my own), I think we should organize who is going to convert what. So, first off Nefarius do you have those D1 Vipers and Hidden ready for upload?Now, monsters that I think need to be converted are: D1/Hellfire: Rhinodemons Advocates Succubus SKULL WING(I really want him) Flesh Thing BGI/II: Earth Elemental Demigorgon Umber Hulk Ogre Mage Ugyant(sp?) Werewolves So, what do you think? Any other monsters that should be added to the list? Now, who's going to volunteer to do what? I think I might do the D1 Skull Wing for now. It will probably be finished tomorrow or saturday depending. So, everyone take your picks on who wants to convert what.

I'll do the Werewolf and the Otyugh (I checked and this is the right spelling). I might be pushed into doing others if need be...  ------------------ Last night I had Italian for dinner.

Hmm, are you going to try out some BGII conversions because those seem to be much cooler Now I wonder what KingCold will want to convert...okay, KingCold since you are very good at converting multipart monsters, are there any other really cool monster that have multiple body part files? Is there any Tiamat monster(multiheaded dragon) or a Hydra?------------------ God gave me a brain to use but I miserably failed to use it to my advantage

Hey Apocalypse, I'll get cracking on the Advocates, i've already done the Dark Mage from diablo1, it went up on incandescence yesterday if you want the files, Advocate is pretty much the same kind of monster but different grafix, so it shouldn't take very long. I was going thru my "junk" cds, the one's that you chuck in a drawer & think nothing more about, i found one game that has files with .spr extension for the grafix, i'll see what can be done with it. Also: i'm still trying to work out the "worm" folder in diabdat.mpq, it has 8 wav files but no cl2 inside, i did ask Nefarius a while ago whilst he was busy on the diablo1 diablo conversion, so if anyone can give any feedback on this folder i'd be grateful.------------------ Incandescence

Stargazer, who are those demonknights? Are they those darknights in armor that carry a sword? IF so, they are already converted by KingCold and you can find a pic of them at www.apocalypsedemon.freeservers.com/index.html I'm also having some trouble with the extraction process believe it or not...hmm, are there any demigorgon or other gorgon monsters in BGII since I haven't bothered to extract the files yet? And I haven't beaten the game yet so I wouldn't know. ------------------ God gave me a brain to use but I miserably failed to use it to my advantage

I have the expansion but I'm struggling with finding VB on my computer. It doesn't tell me where it saves on my hardrive and doing a search comes out empty. But since I have the Xpac, I can probably be able to find it for everyone if I only knew how to extract from BGII.------------------ God gave me a brain to use but I miserably failed to use it to my advantage

Well, if you read my post, you would see that when I do download the vb5 installer, it doesn't specify where it goes on my hardrive and when I do a search for it, it comes out empty...------------------ God gave me a brain to use but I miserably failed to use it to my advantage

Hehehe, very close isn't it, but if you compare the advocate to the darkmage, you'll see that there are a lot more colours/more detail in the advocate compared to the darkmage, but yes, one is red & one is black. I guess the darkmage was probably just the grafix used for certain uniques in the game, if only the framecounts were the same (advocate has quite a few more frames per anim than darkmage) it'd make my plans a lot easier. I'll have something up within the next couple of days. ------------------ Incandescence

I'll do the Ettin and the Beholder too and maybe some of the vampires, unless someone else wants to take them on?I have the BGII Exp too but haven't installed it yet. Can I just extract BIF files off the CD or do I have to install it and open the key file?  Apoc, maybe your problem is a vidcard thing instead of VB6? ------------------ Last night I had Italian for dinner.

Stargazer, did you find the demigorgon animations from the BGII expansion. I have the tools to extract but I'm having some difficulties extracting so can you send me the demigorgon BAM files to e_tchernev@hotmail.com.

I remember seeing several mentions of a big scorpion anim to replace Duriel, i'm not going to consider starting any BG/BG2 conversions at present, but i'm sure there was a scorpion type monster in BG..... am i thinking of the Basilisk/Greater Basilisk? it's been quite a while since i played Baldur's gate now, anything longer than a couple of months & my memory gets a little fuzzy, but i'm sure there was something large & scorpionlike in that game (turned chars to stone as well) That iron golem anim is looking pretty cool now without the shadow (Apocalypse Demon's)
