Redrew some bams that appear in the inventory screen to make them more resemble the characters. It might be a good mod to make generally available, if there was a way to assign the bam so as to make it unique to one character and not to every character of the same gender, race, class, and armor. Not sure if there is a way or if it has already been done before. Maybe there is some workaround?

Seems like another thing for ToBEx. Look at ToBEx wishlist topic, and ask ASC64 there if he can do it.

Inventory paperdolls are tied to the race/class/armour combination in the avatars. Not sure if there's a way around it even in TobEx. Not sure how there could be, unless you tie the paperdolls to the character names or something.

I know Miloch, but items aren't limited to specific character, but to race/class, etc. So maybe some similar hack is possible to replace race with DV or .cre file.

I think not, but with Infinity Animations, it is possible to implement a potentially infinite number of animations (as the name implies). It might require some sort of .exe overhaul (as already goes on) but it is possible. Item flags are limited to usability flags (race/class/stats). It's just very cunning that way. You could make a PC that mimics exactly an NPC's stats and be able to equip the same items if you wanted. Not really the same thing here. Anyway, you (the original poster) should feel free to upload your BAMs to Miscellaneous Mods here - anyone can do that. Better than letting them rot somewhere - maybe someone can figure out how to implement them in the game engine without overwriting existing animations.

Ok, so it means, that it should be done via duplicating original animation, and adding it as animation called "Minsc", and assigning it specific papperdoll with hamster on arm. Is it correct?

That sounds like a good plan. If you were really ambitious, you could add the hamster to the animation too :D.

Is it possible to add unpalleted hamster to palleted Minsc animation? :lol2:

Probably, but you might have to use a colour that isn't recognised in the palette. Or you could just give him a familiar with a custom rat animation :D.

Lol. I liked that idea, so I made the animation, but it is too bad I have no idea how to go about turning it into a familiar.

Well it depends on how complex you want to make it. I'd just do it by extending Minsc's script so that whenever combat starts, the rat (hamster) spawns and starts attacking enemies. Also flag the .cre file for the hamster so that it leaves no corpse. Thus, if it gets "killed" we can presume that it just jumped into Minsc's inventory again to "recover" before the next battle.

Apparently, Boo is quite the strong little hamster. Unless he was toned down, almost think it would be better for him to be summoned in a spell to be used only occasionally. :lol2:

hmm, change Minsc's battle cry to something else and use the sound "Go for the eyes, Boo!" as the casting sound IF you turn it into a summoning spell ^^
