As I didn't see anything about that bug in the forum, I guess nobody has ever tried this animation : 0x5011 elemental_water_small.

 

In fact, the game crashes when it dies.

The reason why is quite simple : the last frames of the µARDE.bam and µARDEE.bam files are too large : 400x400 px.

 

I join the two files that will fix that bug.

 

PS : i have also noticed a few other bugs I will try to fix.

Thank you! An under-used animation, but one of my favorites.

You are welcome !

 

In fact, as I  am porting more than a hundred Diablo 2 animations, I have tested all the I.A. pack in order to better understand the differences between the different formats !

I noticed a few bugs with a few animations (some have already been fixed : Sahuagin, Lizardmen...), but others still need to be fixed. I am working on it and I will release the fixes as soon as they will be "safe".

Merci! - More glitches fixed. - Nice one!

Cheers. Porting over 100 animations? That's impressive - are you doing it all by hand or do you have some sort of automated utility?

In fact, more than 200 are on the workshop.... : http://www.shsforums...talian-spanish/

 

I am working with a Diablo Modder who is updating one of his old modding tools. He accepted to provide new fonctions that allow me to export bmp files paletted (with index 0 and 1 for transparency and shadows), to create shadows that I can modify, and to provide all the frames the same x-y position.

It spared me a lot of time. After, I created the bam files with DLTCEP...

 

So, porting the Diablo II animations was not very difficult.

 

Unfortunately, I can't say the same for my Unicorns and the Arcanum ones : this time, another french modder helped me to create a WeiDU setup that can fix the x-y positions of a bam file, using some of your bambatcher code.

 

Some days, I am dreaming of a really good tool for bam making !

Very cool. Sam. actually might have a tool in the making that can do some of that, that we were considering for porting NWN animations - not sure where it's at these days though.

Well, I had been making fair progress, but I haven't touched it in over a year...  Once I finish the last couple of things for my PS WeiDU (Un)Installer, my thought was to start work on a much smaller utility to convert PS:T animations to whichever of the BG formats, the code of which would eventually be worked into the full BAM editor:  PS BAM.  It still has a TON of work to go tho, and having to refamiliarize myself with the code I have already written won't make it any easier...  Sadly, don't expect PS BAM any time soon .

So it seems we are condemned to use what we call "System D" in French : trying to maximize the few tools we have and using "tricks" over "tricks...
