Nah, I'll do it later. I'm currently working on my own mod...anybody know a way to multiply a column in D2Excel by a decimal value. Because when I try to multiply the hp column in monstats.txt by 1.5, I get this message:

Grr... enter valid number!

It seems you can't use decimal numbers.

Depends...see, if a monster does not have an entry at all in animdata, you can't do it. And your method is VERY strange and "bizarre" and unworkable. However, if that monster DOES have an entry for that animation, all you need to do is name your new animations the SAME name as the animation entries you are trying to replace, then add the paths properly, pack the files in the mpq and run it. This is how you swap monster animations.

Ok...basically all you need to do is find the names of the original monsters that you are trying to overwrite. For example, the Blunderbore neutral animation is pntrlitnuhth. Soo, now lets say I want to replace that animation with a monster neutral animation from BGII. All I do is rename that BGII animation pntrlitnuhth. Now, you add that in the install.txt file and add the paths like this:

A pntrlitnuhth.dcc data\global\monsters\pn\tr\pntrlitnuhth.dcc

Then, pack the file together just like packing any other txt files or whatever, run with -direct -txt and your monster *should* be replaced(in this case, only the blunderbore neutral).

Well, what I just stated is ONLY for monster that have entries in animdata.d2. Those that don't this method does not work and it requires something else...

No...making plugins is a waste of time, I'd rather be converting monsters or doing my mod.

You can do it in two steps. Turn your decimal ratio to a fraction. Multiply by the top, divide by the bottom. In your specific example, 3/2...
