you will need CV and lots of time and mpqview...hm what else...motivation...LOTS of motivation.

first..take all the amazon images and change them to 1x1 blank dcc files. then, change the tr files to those of diablo for EVERY armor...thats about 2000+ animation you have changed...then you need to include ALL your files in the mpq if you give it out...about 20+ megabytes.

I thought at one point in time I saw a post where someone mentioned you can use just one armor type. But, I don't recall the post/thread, or whether any additional changes need to be made.

I'm sure someone else has another way or two that this can be implemented.

At least try a few different searches on the matter if one of the more experienced animation modders doesn't reply.

I am not MindChild, but here is a link to the Tools download page, if you'd like.?.

If that doesn't take you, scroll down to the bottom of this page and click on the PhrozenKeep link. After the Keep's main page pops up, click the link over on the left that says Tools; all should then be well!

Well, it seems that yer not gonna' get any big assists in this department, so I'll see what I can do for ya'. Nah, j/k...

This actually isn't a very easy concept to tackle, for anyone.

If you are wanting ALL of the Amazon's char looks to appear as Diablo, w/out ANY weapon or armor changes, I would say to try this...
(Mind you, you would likely lose most of her skills that make her a unique char class, as she is mostly dependant upon bows and throwing weapons).

Grab/convert/rename/etc Diablo anim's to Zon's for a1,a2,bl,dd,dt,gh,kk,nu,rn,s1,sc,th,tn,tw,w1,and wl.

And that's just one of the several steps.

Lemme' know if you need any further explanation for this part.

(edit)Actually, I'm not even sure I could successfully walk someone through the process. It's quite time-consuming and difficult. I'll work on converting an Amazon to Diablo in my spare time and get back to you on it, if you'd like.

You could do animations for one armor type, but then you would have to mod armor.txt columns rArm, lArm, Torso, Legs, RSPad (shoulder), and LSPad so only one armor level (lit,med,hvy) is used. And that change will affect all characters.

Myhrginoc,

Out of curiousity, and w/out looking myself, are the 3 armor type anim dcc's all the same # of frames, dir's? I would assume so, but not positive on the matter. AND, if that were the case, I believe the other 2 armor types could just be copied from the edited anim's and renamed, thus saving other char's from the armor issue, no?

Each mode probably has so many frames regardless of armor...but anything is possible, it seems. I could point you to my DCC list, since all the character animations were included...but the link was lost when the Keep moved from FilePlanet. We'll get those lists and things back as soon as the admins recover from the move.
