Lizard men are equipped with "invisible" weapons

[Luke]

All Lizard men (i.e., "CDIS2LZ7", "CDIS2LZ6", "CDIS2LZ5", "CDIS1LZ4" and "CDIS1LZ3") lack their weapon (I'm talking about the in-game sprites. According to their CRE files, the weapon itself is in the appropriate quick slot and selected, so there's probably a problem with their BAM files).

EE or original? Because it's definitely this bug.

Alright, something to fix for 2.6 then.

I had a look at IWDEE and it seems to be a link between creature animation, item category (offset 0x1c), equipped appearance (offset 0x22) and weapon proficiency (offset 0x31).

Let's consider NALIZMAN.itm as an example => If you set item category to 20 (Large swords), equipped appearance to "HB" and weapon proficiency to 99 (Halberd), then the weapon is visible (even though for some frames appears to be misaligned with respect to the hands....)

will be fixed with IA.

It's a problem with IWD-EE in the first instance: lizardman summons have standard items like S1-12 and B1-12, which don't have anything set in 0x22. (The same is true in vanilla IWD - either the bug was present there too, or there's some engine difference.)

[Gwendolyne]

Right. Fixing the weapons is still in my ToDO list, but if the next patch will fix this issue, I would be happy to remove it and spend my time fixing other points.

Just to be sure everything is really fixed.... Even after setting 'equipped appearance' to, say, "HB" (Halberd), I keep getting this.....

Do you know what's wrong?

[CamDawg]

There are two parts for the fix; the first is that the lizardmen need a weapon with an animation that the animation uses--which you've done--and the second part is that the actual halberd animation is missing from the animation itself. You could try grabbing the mliz* BAM files from Fixpack and dropping them in to your override folder.

@Gwendolyne

Well, this issue is not present in IWDEE and my BGEE override folder contains the same 85 MLIZ*bam files that are in IWDEE (unless I'm missing something....)

So, what are exactly the files that are missing?

the mliz[x]... bam files, with x being c[lub], h[alberd] and q[uaterstaf].

I told you, everything seems to be there => from MLIZCA.bam to MLIZCWKE.bam; from MLIZHA1.bam to MLIZHWKE.bam; from MLIZQA1.bam to MLIZQWKE.bam.

It's very weird.... Could you try it yourself and then let me know what's wrong? Thanks!
