I've stacked some regular IWD-type animations, but I don't think that will work for character animations.
So how hard would it be to add a new palettable character animation slot (including the paperdoll)? I mean just the slot, not the actual graphics.
I'm asking because we may have a need for a sort of androgynous vampire in this style for PCs or joinable NPCs rather than enemy NPCs. What's more, the default vampire animation (MVAM) doesn't appear to be that great or even appropriate really (looks more like a knight, dunnit?). The Bodhi animation is ok for a female vampire I guess, but we need one for both. And we can't really use a monster (M) slot, or at least not the MVAM slot anyway, since it doesn't appear to be palettable.

Well, I disagree about the Knight look, as it's color comes from the vampires skin, not of it's armor, as the armor has rotten around the vampire, leaving just few shreds behind. But one always could use another animation, so don't let me stop you.I'm asking because we may have a need for a sort of androgynous vampire in this style for PCs or joinable NPCs rather than enemy NPCs.

Well it doesn't look like a vampire at all if you ask me... maybe some sort of golem or a fat mummy (look at the first frame of mvamg2.bam). Anyway, it's not paletted, meaning the (greyish) colour is hardcoded rather than specified by the "skin" colour in the creature file.Well, I disagree about the Knight look, as it's color comes from the vampires skin, not of it's armor
Looks like we're going to consider an alternate to a vampire but still... it'd be useful to have a new vampire animation that looks at least somewhat like a vampire.

It'd be incredibly easy to do so.
I'd like to avoid stacking where possible because it causes more problems than it's worth. We could stack by armour level though where it makes sense (in the same way as with character animations).

Yeah... well, the only reason I'm still doing it is because this isn't out yet and I've got released mods that use new animations.I'd like to avoid stacking where possible because it causes more problems than it's worth.
But like I've said, I'll help out with whatever needs to be done if I can (code, documentation, whatever).

Could you tell us how many/which type of animation slot they use? (file scheme, foot circle size, palleted or not, etc.)
That'd help a lot

They're the ones in the second post. Not palleted, foot circle is "small" I guess.Could you tell us how many/which type of animation slot they use? (file scheme, foot circle size, palleted or not, etc.)

The main part of this is finished and tested. I sent a PM asking if we could have a forum/mod hosting last week, but I haven't heard back as yet.
I'll let you know as soon as I know more.
