I suggest you do not attempt to do that yet since it's harder then you think(and you will need to do some MAJOR offset editing as well as frames).

No. It will take me about two or more days to get the offsets right if I work on it hard...

Why are you angry? Do you have ANY idea how busy I am? I suggest you do the monster editing later after you have mastered the basics.

You shouldn't get mad just because somebody says 'no' once in a while. The experienced people offer a lot of help as it is, gratis...and they are not obliged to in any way. Be glad for the assistance when you get it, but the best way to learn is to stumble through a few on your own too. Soon will come a time when you too will be handing out the advice more often than asking of it.

aight, I'm sorry. MAYBE you can answer this question though. I wanna switch the quill rat wit the reddragon (looks only!). Now, do I have to rename the .dcc files? Where do the files go (subfolders in monster)?

Ok, first thing you do is see which types of animations quill rats contain and which ones you want to replace. So, you need to rename the dragon files to have the same name as the quill rat files. So, here is what you name them. First off, the quill rat has the following animations: attack1, attack2, death, corpse, neutral, walk and gethit. So, name the dragon files the following:

dragon walk- sitrlitwlhth
dragon neutral- sitrlitnuhth
dragon attack1- sitrlita1hth
dragon attack2- sitrlita2hth
dragon gethit- sitrlitghhth
dragon death- sitrlitdthth
dragon dead- sitrlitddhth

Now, put these in the data\global\monsters\si\tr\ ...they will spawn in the game but then crash though without offset and frame count editing.

Get Cv5 program and extract every animation monster(and spells and other things) all out of all of your mpqs. Then you will see...

The SI is the monster token which can be found in montype.txt, the TR means torso animation(most monsters use the torso slot for the whole animation but some monsters have seperate parts like LA(left arm), RA(left arm), etc)...

johnny, have you even looked at
http://www.planetdiablo.com/phrozenkeep/tutorials.htm
???

you seem to ask a lot of questions that have already been covered in the tutorials...

but Apoc is right, monster gfx replacement is VERY advanced and requires a LOT of work. You will probably have better luck trying it yourself than getting a more experienced modder to do it, most of them are quite busy with one or more other mods already (I think Apoc's got 3 ). Go for it, I say! Best way to learn stuff it to jump right in and do it yourself.

Good luck bro

I've already done that

www27.brinkster.com/assimassan/d2dragon.html

Yes I used the Quill Rat cause i don't have to go far to see if it worked. It doesn't crash cause I copied a cof file from other places and just renamed it to match the Quill Rat's Token. All left to do is the offset, yet everytime I try to save the offsets, CV5 Crashes. hmmm. Oh, and if you have a 56k modem, be warned!
