HELP needed : BGI MONSTER SIMPLE Animation format

[Gwendolyne]

First sorry for those who have already read that post elsewhere.

 

I have ported many animations from Diablo II into I.A.

 

But I still have one detail to fix.

 

The xxxxG2-E files contains 3 attacks (Slash, Backslash and Jab). How does the engine handle with them ?

 

I mean when I tested them, it seemed that only the A1 and A3 sequences where played.

 

Maybe it depends on the type of weapon the creature is equiped with (fields Melee animations : Overhand, Backhand, Thrust) ?

 

Furthermore, if I want to use a range weapon, is it possible to use the BGI Simple Monster format ? And if yes, which sequences must I use for that (0-8, 9-15 or 16-23 ?).

 

Thanks in advance

I believe so, yes.

Furthermore, if I want to use a range weapon, is it possible to use the BGI Simple Monster format ? And if yes, which sequences must I use for that (0-8, 9-15 or 16-23 ?)

As to that, I do not know for certain; I only know the BG2 format, thanks to Erephine's and Cuv's notes. Perhaps your own testing could enlighten us on the BG1 format?

In fact, it's quite easy with the BG2 and IWD formats, but for that f... BG1 format, it is not so easy.

 

btw, 3 tests done !
