Well, Cv5 is doing alot of strange things. Now, it plays the animation in mega speed for some reason...and I mean REALLY fast. Perhaps it's time for a reinstall.  ------------------ God gave me a brain to use but I miserably failed to use it to my advantage

Yes, I already converted the attack1 animation. Looks really cool. Man, now I have alot of stuff to work on. I have to convert trolls, these shadows, the planescape monticore, vargoyle, shadow mage and then finally, the shadow dragon.  ------------------ God gave me a brain to use but I miserably failed to use it to my advantage

That was a breathe animation? And the monster was shrinking...can you resend me that, I didn't look like a breath animation. It seemed the monster was just opening up his wings and shrinking.  ------------------ God gave me a brain to use but I miserably failed to use it to my advantage

Yep that's his breath animation, but to make it look right you must do the following:His breath animation is composed of two files, MSCORCA.BAM and MSCORPS.BAM; to make it look right, in each direction you must take the first 5 frames from MSCORPS (delete all others) and then insert the whole animation from MSCORCA. It needs minor offset adjustments to align the animations though, so first you should make so that all your frames are of the same size. Try it with the left direction first, you should see it easily then  I'll send the files to you in a few minutes. ------------------ Alkalund

Can you send them in .zip please. When they are just in .bam format, when they download, it automatically starts opening the bam. The problem here is that my computer crashes very frequently when opening with BAMWorkshop...so, can you send them in a zip so I can get them on my hardrive? ------------------ God gave me a brain to use but I miserably failed to use it to my advantage

Got your Bone Magus, but what the heck is an .ace file? If possible send them in Gifs, will be easier for me to mess with the pallete that way. And sorry if it doesnt look like i respond to posts, but i tend to sleep during the 10:30pm-6am period, heh.------------------ "I have destroyed planes, I can unmake you!" -Transcendant One

Apocalypse Demon, I just sent the manticore breath animation files zipped to you in two e-mails.Kraztoh, all I can say of your death animation version is WOW!!!! I think we agree that we have two great death animations now, and while mine would be ideal for a normal monster, yours is just great when used with act-end bosses. Hopefully we can shrink your version a little, after all 1MB for EACH direction is really a LOT . I finished all directions of my death animation already, I can send them to you so you can finish yours if you want  ------------------ Alkalund

Actually, the Spell itself has only one direction, and I think its possible to set an animation so the game knows it only has one direction. Mine needs a little touching up, but I threw it together this morning in 10 min to see what you thought.------------------ "I have destroyed planes, I can unmake you!" -Transcendant One

Hope so, I will run some tests later and confirm this. quote: Originally posted by Krazoth: Mine needs a little touching up, but I threw it together this morning in 10 min to see what you thought.
Yeah it is looking great so far, whenever you have a new version finished, please send it to me. I'll finish the other Trancendant One animations in the meantime, do you want me to send them to you when I finish them? ------------------ Alkalund

Ok, apparently now it's my Cv5 that's not working the same thing that happened to your bone magus happened to the Transcendant One Apocalypse Demon, the pallete got totally screwed up well, I really don't know what may be causing this. Were the problems with your files solved already?------------------ Alkalund

Yep, I've gotten this problem on the T 1 animations too. I think its just an incompatibility of colors between the gif and d2 pal. As for the Bone Magus, soon as I find a Win Ace editor I'll take a look. On another note, finished 2 more monsters today, the Spikeling and Treants. Spikeling had a little color morph, but actually made it look better. ------------------ "I have destroyed planes, I can unmake you!" -Transcendant One

Read Nefarius' tutorial somewhere on the site(or on this very forum, just look a few pages back). You need a gif animator and Cv5.------------------ God gave me a brain to use but I miserably failed to use it to my advantage

If this is the case, than it is bad The transcendant one got ORANGE instead, it looks horrible, like a big cheddar-monster, its ridiculous  I'll be finished with the ghoul queen and the shadow tonight as well, but I think they may look just as horribe when converted. Apparently the Planescape monsters won't cooperate with us... ------------------ Alkalund
