Ghost graphics from Icewind Dale?

[temnix]

Can somebody share ghost BAMs from Icewind Dale? Their names start with MGHO. Or maybe a screen shot first, to see what they are like. I'll credit you. In the Credit Suisse Bank.

Why not download them directly from Infinity Animations part 001... main readme has pictures, but it's delivered in a web format in the main archive.

 

 

Can you now undestand why they (Beamdog) did this ? As you only need an .ini and the .bam files and it works wonders in the game... rather than edit the main .exe to include things, while keeping the same file size, as modders had to do previously. Or extend the main .exe with an extension. Like they do now with TobEx and Infinity Animations, in the non EE games.

Hmm, I am not completely sure if all the files depicted(primarily the green ghost) are found in the part 001... but they will be in one of the other, but most of them are in the 001.

That's the ghost? How lousy. There was some other kind of ghostly undead creature, somewhere, more impressive. And enough nonsense about sound sets. Nobody needs to do any editing of exe files for sounds. The first EE game already had the INI-CRE sound system, only CRE sounds were assigned, and in BG2EE they are simply not. But then, I don't trust any explanation from you. It may all be just your fantasy.

Hmm, you might be talking about the so called true shadow:

from Planescape Torment.

Really ? Well that's fine.

Cause I have got a BG1EE v1.3.2053 and legitimally, it has no .ini files in it:

It used the .2da files to assign sounds. .. from what I can tell.

The ini system for animations was introduced with IWDEE (to make it easier to manage the large number of new animations), and then backported to BG2 and BG2EE.
