Buckler

[WizWom]

I'm working on making a proper buckler animation & paper Doll; Going is a bit slow, as there is not paper doll editor yet.

Unfortunately, teh BG1 Bubler animation ends up in the wrong place when brought over to BG2; and since BG1 use BAMs for inventory, instead of PLT files, we'd have to rework anyway.

 

Now, once it's done, I think there would be a place for a real useful buckler; since the single weapon sytle leaves you with as better protection than a +1 buckler, I'd like some thoughts. It might be interesting to make the Shield of Reflection a buckler instead of a small shield.

Made my own PLT<->BMP converter.

I've decided a "SoA" style buckler is what I want to do... this will be, essentially, the top bit and bottom bit from a small shield.

 

Then I get to play with the animation BAMs...
