Hey Lord Qapla, i know you've already done the Big Fallen anims, but i'm working on what i call an "easy plug-in" for them, something you can just paste into the -direct -txt subdirectory without worrying about animdata editing/conflictions, i'll probably do most of them this way. I'd hate to think people get my reasons for doing this confused, when i started doing this i wanted to see all the conversions from diablo1 completed, so i'm gonna carry on (besides, i do have a site up as i'm experimenting with it, & i'd like to be able to put more on it!) whether or not someone else has done it is irrelevant to me, i don't want to start skipping different monsters to try & do the next one before someone else does it, just for the sake of being competitive, i would've had loads of half finished monsters ages ago if i'd been trying to keep up with Nefarius  ------------------ Incandescence

So, Incandescent, what new monster are you going to work on next. Can you try to do the D1 Vipers or the Rhino demons? Or actually, what about the Advocates?------------------ God gave me a brain to use but I miserably failed to use it to my advantage

Hey Lord Qapla, i tend to look at the monster's attributes when i'm working out which token to replace: Leoric was an undead superunique that could raise skellies, picked Radament; Stormriders were lightning wielding monsters, picked Zakarumpriests; Acidbeasts were pack animals that had missiles(could've picked Frogdemons but i've got other plans for them!), picked Spikefiends; Bats were flying pack animals that are more fun in greater numbers, picked Swarms; the only one that i didn't follow this guideline with were the Horkspawns, i replaced those with foul crows as it was suggested how it'd be more fun if they were nested. So, i'm going to replace something that is simply a melee creature with the bigfallen, i've picked something from act2 for this, seemed about the right sort of area in the game.------------------ Incandescence

No, not the unseen. The unseen are boring and you will not be able to make them disappear and reappear very well if not at all. Do the charging demons or advocates please. Actually, what about the Defiler? He was pretty cool...------------------ God gave me a brain to use but I miserably failed to use it to my advantage

Hey gorothon, didn't you download Mandzo's monster pack that included Nakrul, hellboars and three other monsters? If so, look for the thread on this page called "my first monster pack completed and more "------------------ God gave me a brain to use but I miserably failed to use it to my advantage

Hey people, fair enuf, i'll do the Defiler if someone is happy to send me the relevant anim and wav files, halfway thru rebuilding my car & nearly finished the Big Fallen in between that, so it shouldn't take very long to do  As far as it goes with other games, i've still got loads of stuff in boxes i haven't unpacked after moving, but so far i've found baldur's gate 1&2, and Planescape:Torment, i'm sure i've probably got a few more that would have compatible grafix to use, i'll post if i find any.------------------ Incandescence

Hey Apocalypse, my e-mail is Incandescent_One@hotmail.com , just checked and i haven't received anything yet. I had a look at an old diablo1/hellfire site & there's quite a few monsters that i don't remember, i've seen the pic for the defilers, they look interesting, but i can't remember them from the game. What kind of abilities did they have? ------------------ Incandescence

The Defiler is from Hellfire so if you don't have Hellfire that answers your question. He's the boss of the hive.------------------ I am one of the knights who say, NI! You are to cut down the biggest tree in the forest with a Herring!

Hey Apocalypse, .trn files (colour translation) worked like palshift in the older games, it's how you could have skeletons in bone colours like normal, in red shades like burning dead, or in black shades like horrors. I've recently been utilising these for diablo2 so that i can get the colours exactly how they were in the original game. As an example: In my latest, the Big Fallen, i was using the wendigo(YE) token graphics. I loaded the game & the palshift for (YE) token gave me something that wasn't very pretty to say the least. So what i did was, i extracted fallent.trn from the diablo1 folder for normal fallen, opened the (YE) palshift file in a hex editor & pasted the data from fallent.trn into the palette locations in (YE)'s palshift file. You're probably wondering why i would have done this when i could've taken the palshift from diablo2's fallen, the reason is i was experimenting to see if i could use the old .trn data in diablo2, never seen a post on it yet, and the answer is yes it can be done! That's why i'm still working my way thru some of the older anims, cos i'm playing with ideas as i go. So, the reason i wanted any .trn files for the defiler is basically, there are no defilers in diablo2, so i would have to use another anims palshift file to get any kind of colour variations, doesn't always work the way i'd like. And although i can simply keep it as the original colours, it doesn't offer much variety, would be nice to have different coloured defilers, especially if you're working over a token that has 4 or 5 different monsters (eg: Afflicted, Tainted, Misshapen, Disfigured). It was a curiosity, but i'd like to see any .trn files for defiler so i can play around & see what kind of results i can get  ------------------ Incandescence
