Spell idea.

[Andyr]

So we already have Tweak Pack components letting us use the casting graphics for the 8 spell schools.

 

I was playing IWD yesterday and noted a lot of their spell animations are cooler than BGIIs - Dimension Door, for example. It'd probably be pretty simple to extract and import them into BGII.

 

Actually, Dimension Door was my favourite, but I'm open to any suggestions for other animations to replace.

[SimDing0]

Dimension Door, yes please. Same treatment for Shadow Door.

[Andyr]

That was my thought, yeh.

If it is not just the animations, I would kill for Executioner's eyes and Banishment.

 

If that is what it takes, just point me the way.

[Andyr]

Was thinking about it, and the Umber Hulk and Ghast animations are pretty nifty too.

Talk to Galatygon about IWD series creature animations. He's managed to port over pretty much all of them to BGII in a way that allows for unlimited animation additions. There is a fair bit of discussion here about his work, and you could also check out his Black Wyrm forum for LC.

[Andyr]

Yeh, I remember that.

 

To be honest for the Umber Hulk and so on I'd probably just directly copy the files across, though. It'd be simpler, and I'm not sure who'd install that component then want to use the regular Umber Hulk avatar for something else.

Umber Hulks and Umber Hulk Elders might be given different animations.

[Andyr]

Are there Umber Hulk elders in BGII, except in Sendai's enclave?
