Hello fellas, once again I ask of your assistance. I wonder if you could tell me how to add paperdoll to let's say like in my example the Cowled Wizard (Called Monk when you pick Animation ID). He dosen't have any paperdoll so I wonder how to add one, I have no problem using the Human Mage Male one, so if you could could please tell me how to add the human male mage paperdoll to the cowled wizard, I would be most grateful.

To add to a Monster with no paperdoll is easy:
copy your PLT to ????INV.PLT

Find the list of abbreviations in the ANISND.IDS file - for the one you're thinking of, which were originally for the candlekeep Monks, 25602.
0x6402 MONK in ANIMATE.IDS
0x6402 CMNK CGAMEANIMATIONTYPE_MONK in ANISND.IDS

So... CMNKINV.PLT

You can also make a BAM for it, it will work the same. If you have 1PP installed, use the BAM instead.

As far as I know, Monster Paperdolls don't use the Weapon paperdolls, but this is a "C" series, and the game might use weapons.

I copied my paperdoll which I wanted to use as CMNKINV.PLT, but where should I put the copied file?
Thought override so put it there, saved made a char that looked like monk, though no paperdoll.

Actually, there is a Biffed CMNKINV.BAM in the ToB install - it's blank.
So, I think you need to do the BAM.

Hrm, even having a CMNKINV.BAM copied from CHMW1INV.BAM didn't work.

MAybe CMNK1INV... yep.
You need the whole series, because it's a 'C' - character- the game adds the armor level after the CMNK.

So... make
CMNK1INV.BAM
CMNK2INV.BAM
CMNK3INV.BAM
CMNK4INV.BAM

And, in fact, it will also apply the weapon paperdolls.

Worked fine just I tested it and cheated the Robe of Vecna, but once I equip it, you see no difference on the paperdoll. Like it should change to another .bam file right? Ty in advance.

Hrm, I tested with 4 of the same paperdoll.
So, let's see what happens with the paperdolls incrementing.
Sure enough, it only uses the '1' armor level paperdoll, even if the player wears a higher armor.

what an odd quirk.

What about creatures that are not listed in the ANISND.IDS? Can I safely modify the file adding an entry like 0x8F99 MYCR CGANIMATIONTYPE_MYCREATURE? If not is there an alternative way to tell the game engine to use certain xxxxINV.bam files for my npc's paperdoll who happens to be none of those creature types listed in the ANISND.IDS?

ANISND.IDS has to do with the animation sounds, and has no control over which animations can use paperdolls. See Naming new paperdolls for some information on the original hard-coded paperdoll limitations. However, with the creation of Infinity Animations, paperdolls have been unlocked for some animations that did not support them previously. See the second paragraph here. This renders the info in "Naming new paperdolls" obsolete.

Wow thanks a lot

Though I finally managed to create the paperdoll on my own after some 12 hours of searching and trying... But thanks nonetheless.

On a sidenote, why can't I find those threads with the search function? No matter what I type in it says "No results"

The search has been broken since the last forum software update, and it seems it really hasn't been fixed yet...
