No, it's not a monticor. Check out the bif file CREAnim1.bif and look for the MRAV Bam files for him. He's a summon...the spell Gate summons him. And where is this manticor? I want to look.------------------ God gave me a brain to use but I miserably failed to use it to my advantage

Hmm.. I forgot you don't have the throne of bhaal... I guess that's an expansion monster, it's in 25IWAnim.bif. And I don't know if it is a Manticore, I'll upload an animated gif file of that monster on my homepage, and perhaps here. I'm thinking on working on this guy then, but may be a little complicated, his animations are all divided in various files. Just wait a sec, while I upload them------------------ Alkalund

I do have the expansion but when I install and run it, it gives me a black screen. But the game runs and the sound runs but the screen is black. I think it's a graphic card problem, not sure. I really want to play Xpac of that, they have the "wild mages" or whatever their called which is a new cool class. And demogorgon is cool too. Anyways, are there ANY cool and I mean really cool monsters in the Xpac that you can upload for me?------------------ God gave me a brain to use but I miserably failed to use it to my advantage

Well let's see if this link work (most probably it wont ):<Removed link, of course it didn't work again > If it doesn't wotk I'll put it on my page later. Expansion Monsters... let me see... - the Fire Giants are really cool, but they come in multiple parts, and besides I think someone is doing or already did that one right? - Not from expansion, but the skeleton warriors are REAL Skeletons, they're great! I believe no one has done them yet. - Will have to look some more the expansion monsters, there aren't many and people have converted quite some of them already... There are the Solars and Planetars, they are also multi-parted and quite cool... Did you finish that Frost Salamander you said you were working on Apocalypse Demon? I'd like to have a look on it if you finished, they're one of my favourite BG2 monsters  ------------------ Alkalund [This message has been edited by Alkalund (edited 26 January 2002).]

"Expansion Monsters... let me see... - the Fire Giants are really cool, but they come in multiple parts, and besides I think someone is doing or already did that one right?"I have some sort of fire giants...not sure if they are the ones you are talking about but they are very big and red... "- Not from expansion, but the skeleton warriors are REAL Skeletons, they're great! I believe no one has done them yet." Perhaps I can do those too. "There are the Solars and Planetars, they are also multi-parted and quite cool..." Hmm, can you upload these guys then? "Did you finish that Frost Salamander you said you were working on Apocalypse Demon?

Oh him, Krazoth is working on him and he sent them to me to fix them up. They are already finished, just need the casting animation. Do you have the casting animation? If so, can you upload it for me?------------------ God gave me a brain to use but I miserably failed to use it to my advantage

I haven't the casting complete yet, I have done only two directions, but one is screwed... I'll work on it again. Do you want me to finish the cast animation and send it to you? I guess I can finish it tonight if I work fast..------------------ Alkalund

Ok I'll upload the bam files to my site, so I can begin work on the Ravager.One tip while making the cast animations: I'm uploading 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, it will be really easy then  I'll post here when the files are uploaded and working. ------------------ Alkalund

When I view it, the monster's body gets smaller and smaller and smaller which either looks like he is flying backwards away or shrinking.  ------------------ God gave me a brain to use but I miserably failed to use it to my advantage

ok, quick question does anyone here have any interest in learning how to piece together those multipart animations because i serriously have absolutly no time ATM to do any conversions at all(hence the delay on the demo gorgon) and if i can teach someone else what order the parts go in i wont be the only one here who can do multiparted monsters------------------ "I Have Risin From The Ashes Of Death More Powerfull Than Ever"

King Cold, although I would love to learn how you do the multipart conversions, I'm afraid I will be with no time to spare with conversions also (going back to college this monday ). But perhaps you could prepare a simple tutorial explaining the guidelines of your method, I believe most of the people who is doing conversions would understand how it works then.Apocalypse Demon, watch the animations closely, the monster is not getting smaller, his wings are closing and opening. If you're using BAM Workshop convert the animations to gif to see it better . ------------------ Alkalund
