Thanks alot then, hoping for the files. Soo, who is converting Diablo 1 monsters here? We still need to finish those off. Can anyone do the skullwings for me because I lost interest in them.  P.S. Wow, thread post number 200. Is this the largest thread ever on the keep or what? ------------------ God gave me a brain to use but I miserably failed to use it to my advantage

Not sure if it is the biggest, but it is HUGE nevertheless  Novus, fortunately I still had a saved game near that dragon in the underdark ... YES, that dragon (a silver dragon actually) can be killed, his death animation played smoothly. They must be out there somewhere. ------------------ Alkalund

Actually KingCold, I "volunteered" to do the Shadow Dragon. Since I want to learn how to do them, I think I'll get some practice with the Shadow Dragon. But it won't be done for a few weeks though because I'm currently converting other monsters. But please can I do the shadow dragon? Are you finished the Demogorgon?------------------ God gave me a brain to use but I miserably failed to use it to my advantage

Do you have all the gifs of the demogorgon because I can't seem to read the demogorgon bams properly without infinite explorer. However, the shadow dragon is in BGII shadows of amn and I can do it without someone sending me the files for it. Well, if you have the gifs done, can you upload all of them? If not, then I'll do the shadowdragon then.  ------------------ God gave me a brain to use but I miserably failed to use it to my advantage

I am getting nowhere with my D1 succubus conversions. Apocalypse Demon has been helping me and I still have trouble with the transparencies and the backgrounds changing on the first frame.So if anybody wants to go ahead with that conversion, feel free. It might take me a LONG time to find out what is wrong with my system or my method.

Ok people, I'll be finished with ALL the Skeleton Warriors of Baldur's Gate 2 tonight (yep, worked faster than I thought I could ), so here's a question: do you prefer the files as .gif or as .dcc? I'm asking this because of my recent experiences with monster conversions (see the ERROR?? topic for more information in this forum, it seems that even with animdata.d2 editing the game can still crash in some cases). In dcc format people would have to re-save them to .gif, make changes and convert back to dcc. In the other hand, gif files would be more practical (although bigger).------------------ Alkalund [This message has been edited by Alkalund (edited 29 January 2002).]

Myhrginoc - change all the transparent parts to color AA.AA.AA (170,170,170) and try that. Some of the programs use a default color as the transparent color and Cv5 might not be reading it correctly, so if you change all the transparent parts to the color D2 treats as transparent that should do it.Hope that helps?  ------------------ Ratsbane

"Myhrginoc is a spineless quitter!!!" ...well...yeah...Apocalypse Demon gave me some detailed instructions and followed, using Gamani, which I downloaded. But much to my misfortune it didn't seem to help any. I edited the Global Palette to assign the background to AAAAAA >and< selected that color for the transparent-becoming-opaque background. But something went wrong and CV5 is still treating the file as it did before  I am going to take a breather on this (a raging case of the flu doesn't help). I don't want to hold up the conversions so somebody should go ahead and finish off the D1 succubus. One of these days I'll take another crack at it, just to satisfy my curiosity, but no point delaying it for everybody. It's too bad, considering I was close...I could insert them in the game and that is the hard part.

Well, before he sent me his attack animation of the Succubus and he did not edit the background properly and did not modify transparency and activate global pallette to edit the color AAAAAA as background. Now he says he has done it and still has the problem so not sure what it is. Perhaps sending it to me as well?------------------ God gave me a brain to use but I miserably failed to use it to my advantage

Myhorgnoc(sp?), I found your problem. You DID NOT uncheck the transparent box which can be found in Animation-->Properties, then choosing the Global Frame tab. You need to uncheck the transparent box. Then you go to Animation-->Global Pallette and edit the background color to AAAAAA. Then you go to Animation-->Properties and edit the box Gif bk color which looks olive green right now, change it to your AAAAAA background color as well and it's ALL fixed.  ------------------ God gave me a brain to use but I miserably failed to use it to my advantage

Hey Apocalypse Demon, about the Skullwing anims, if you send me what you've got i'll get it finished. I'd found this monster in the diablo1 mpq but it was an unfinished till hellfire, only attack/walk/cast/death anims in diabdat, so if you mail me the others i'll get it done. Just to make sure, the anims i've got are attack : 160 frames, death : 190 frames, casting : 128 frames and walk : 64 frames (i've already converted these files, but if you could make sure the framecounts didn't change between diablo1 & hellfire then send me what i'm missing as well as any wav files as they aren't in diabdat either) Oh, btw, 222 posts in one thread, is that a record yet?

Well, I finished the same animations you did, I'm still missing a neutral and gethit animations(as it's missing in the mpqs). You might need to make it yourself by combining frames from other animations. It's not in the hellfire mpq.------------------ God gave me a brain to use but I miserably failed to use it to my advantage
