On a related matter. I've been trying to keep track of which critters will automatically go to the right animation, and noting accordingly.

I've gotten in a bit of a muddle with lizardmen though.

There's these 3:

MLI2 IC_LIZARDMAN2 Green Lizardman
MLI3 IC_LIZARDCASTER3 Lizard King
MLIZ IC_LIZARDCASTER1 Brown Lizardman

Now, the porting page tells me that MLI2 and MLI3 should be just fine, but I'm a bit unsure about MLIZ, IC_LIZARDCASTER1. Never Ending Journey puts a brown lizardman in there, while Big Picture seems to drop a bunch of waving swords that kind of look like they get added to someones hands (a lizardman, I'm guessing!). What is supposed to be in there, if anything?

Heck, I'll attach them. My initial thoughts is that BP is adding weapons to a BG2 lizardman that lacked them, while NEJ is replacing the whole thing. But I'd like to be sure whats going on.

I'm not sure but they're in 25IWAnim.bif, so it appears like they are in fact ToB-specific.

I'm worrying now. The Marilith animations I uploaded were borrowed from Drizzt Saga. They are the IWD version I hope

Yes, they are.

(as far as I can tell. )

[Yovaneth]

Anyone checked with Yovaneth to see if Fishing For Trouble adds any creatures.

None. I was going to use the Giant Skeleton from PS:T but I didn't in the end.

-Y-

The brown lizardman should be in MLIZ. I'm not sure why they'd add it(?) as it's in vanilla BGII. The above are the equipped object animations for it which seem to be missing in BGII's files. We should add them to the base IWD animations, probably.

Okeydokey. I stealth attached them to the previous post while you were posting! Anyhows, IC_lizardcaster1 will just work without any patching then, I guess. I'll update accordingly.

[Erephine]

That's them. We need only the MLIZH* and MLIZQ* files, the rest is already in the game (not ToB-only either).

Edited by Erephine, 04 December 2009 - 10:36 AM.

[Arkenor]

OK then. From the mod compatability point of view, we're only missing:

Barbarian Warrior 1
Barbarian Warrior 2
Remorhaz
Sentry1 and Sentry 2, which I'm guessing are the animated plate mentioned on the porting page
Verbeeg
Yeti

[Erephine]

Should I add them, or are you currently on it?

[Arkenor]

Should I add them, or are you currently on it?

I only have access to ones used in mods rather than an IWD disk, and I can't guarantee they weren't modified, so it'd probably be best if you did it.

I'll almost certainly end up having to ask you which animated plate is which sentry, so here are the sentry files from Never Ending Journey.

Once we have all the codes, I'll make something vaguely machine readable for Miloch to work with.

[Erephine]

Okay, just give me a bit (I'll finish the rest of them while I'm at it).


-edit: Sentry 1 is Animated Plate 3, Sentry 2 is Animated Plate 1.

Edited by Erephine, 04 December 2009 - 11:25 AM.

[Arkenor]

Great. I've now got the codes sorted for every modded creature, I think. I'll put them all together in one list for Miloch.

[Miloch]

There are a few odd mods (not megamods) that use animations in existing slots that'll need to be patched.

One uses the NWN scarecrow. I forget what it's called but the prefix is o! as I recall. Anyway, I'll look and include it.

There's also Sheena which uses the half-dragon red in some odd slot.

Probably one or two others at least, but I've output a list from my BWP install with CRE Lister (tool in my signature) and am going over it to make sure we haven't missed anything.

[Miloch]

I'll check into the ones you named. If you, or anyone else, can let me know about any other mods with animations, please let me know.

I think the scarecrow mod was BoM Item Pack or if not, something quite similar (adds an item or spell that summons the creature).

Sheena is here.

The Ghost mod adds an NWN or IWD ghost in some non-standard slot, as I recall.

OK Miloch, hopefully this will be usable for you.

Thanks, that is more or less exactly what I need. I don't really need the third column, but I guess it doesn't hurt to have for reference.

[Arkenor]

Looking at Sheena, it puts the Half-Dragon Red into the MNO1 IC_OROG1 slot. None of the creatures in the mod seem to use it. I'm guessing the NPC polymorphs into the form, but I'm having a bit of trouble figuring out how it's all working.

Ah, here we are. A spell called K#POLYS.SPL One of it's effects is to polymorph to IC_OROG1. I guess you can edit that spell with your patch?

Edited by Arkenor, 04 December 2009 - 03:28 PM.

[Arkenor]

Ghost appears to take the regular Icewind Dale ghost and stick it in MGHO where it was supposed to be anyway. Should work fine automatically.

[Miloch]

Ah, here we are. A spell called K#POLYS.SPL One of it's effects is to polymorph to IC_OROG1.

Ok, I guess we'll need to patch the spell then for the proper animation. Doh, and I suppose we'll have to look through other spells or items for stuff like this... sigh, I'll see if I can get WeiDU to do it.

Before I forget, we'll also need a list of which sound .2da files exist and which need to be created or copied from elsewhere.

Planar Sphere mod adds at least Lady of Pain animation. Always seen it instead of Centeol in BG1 part.

[Arkenor]

I think the scarecrow mod was BoM Item Pack or if not, something quite similar (adds an item or spell that summons the creature).

What an odd mod. They've left 13 megs worth of junk in the backup directory of the install, more than doubling it's size. So far as I can tell there's no creature animations anywhere in it, at any rate.

Planar Sphere mod adds at least Lady of Pain animation. Always seen it instead of Centeol in BG1 part.

Try as I might, I can't find any creature animations in that mods install files.

Edit: Oh wait. There is a single creature animation file MSPLG1.BAM which is the lady of pain just sort of standing there. I'm not even sure if it is a creature animation file, and MSPL isn't an animation slot I've come across in my animation adventure so far. A single file does not seem enough to do all the things you'd normally expect a creature to do. I'll post it so the experts can take a look.

Edit Again: MSPLG1.BAM is indeed Centeol, STATIC_SPIDER_WOMAN in the unmodded game. I have a feeling there's someone similar possibly using the same animation down under Athkatla, though that might be my imagination. I suspect the best option would be for Planar Sphere to not go copying over her, but I expect Miloch can come up with something to sort things out
