Im really new on modding, and i just wanna do 2 simple questions. Im using dcc files for stargazer set for unique items, and im getting the following problems:
*the items look into a black box
*the colors of the items i set became freaky
How do i fix this and where i get a good color pallete?

Those aren't .dcc files, those are .dc6 files you are talking about. And as for your problems, I replied to them in your other post in the Expansion Mod Making Forum.

The DCC are off wrong sizes and offsets.. I dunno how to fix offsets, will you fix them for me and teach me how if I send you the dccs which work except for offsets?

Well, I'm not sure what sizes you want them to be or what sizes they have to be...since I haven't really worked on Baldur's Gate animations at all. Do you really have to resize them or can't you just change the offsets. Just keep changing the offsets to different values. If you put values in and you see the animation is moving even further away, then go backwards in the numbers(maybe negative too?)And test again. Yes, it is quite annoying to keep testing but I guess it is trial and error. I doubt I can really help you though but can you still send me the animations?

Well, it seems you only have one angle for each .dcc. Isn't there supposed to be 8 angles? And there isn't a walking animation so I assume it will work as a nest or be stationary...look at the e-mail response I sent you.

Okay SubSanity, sorry but I haven't really looked at your offsets for the mushrooms yet because I have been working with the Iron Golems from Baldur's Gate II. I have the walking and neutral animations fully complete, still putting together the other ones.

I've been busy with college, do let me know if you can set the offsets for the BG anims. I can never get them, frustrated trying.

The mushrooms are nest replacements.

Yeah, I have lots of homework due when I come back to school so I'm going to be quite busy lately...and what are these resizing problems? Seems I'm also having resizing problems with my Iron Golems so I did half of the Iron Golems and I'm going to send them all to Nefarius for the resizing and pallettes.

I've done everything except as my offsets are wrong, the dcc's fly everywhere. Nefarius didn't reply to my post and I'm too busy to tweak anything these days.

look in the graphics tuto i posted a way to find the matching offset, sry i reply only now didnt see q,

negative half of image width/height is the x/y offset, the main point is to center the anime 0/0 means 0x 0y which again means top left corner to get the offset do the following
WIDTH = 100

WIDTH-(WIDTH+(WIDTH\2) which´would be

100-(100+(100\2)
100-(100+50)
100-150
-50

so offset x is -50

should work like this for height as well

Hey Subsanity, adjusting the offsets doesn't take me very long at all to do nowadays, if you want to send the anims this way i could get them "centered" and send them back to you in a little while, my own method takes a bit longer than Nefarius', but it works for me and i've got used to it.
edit: I think Nefarius can type quicker than i can, his post wasn't there when i replied, hmmmmmmmmmm..... maybe i'll have to start getting up an hour earlier to counter the time difference between uk and austria

Width=100 being the original dcc's width?

just to clarify, the offsets of the new dcc would simply be -half of each dimension?

EG.
100 x 300 new dcc would have
-50x 150 y offsets?
