I actually just posted something concerning this in a previous thread about importing animation changes (and tutorials for doing that), but the tutorials didn't help me the way I was looking for. I want to use the change animation function in IEEP for BGII, however, I'm not sure how to use it. I've done a search and people were talking about using the decimal numbers for animation reference, but I'm not sure where I can find those. I've looked in Shadow keeper under character appearance and it has numbers like 0E78 or something like that, but those numbers don't work, and I'm not sure what to use. If someone could help me out with this, like where I could find a list of animation numbers, or where they are in the BGII database. My intention is to use equipped weapons to change the animation of a character. You can e-mail me anything at evernex_shifter@yahoo.com THanks.

Those numbers are the hexadecimal version of the decimal value you're looking for. To find the decimal value, open up the calculator that comes with your PC and make sure it's using the scientific view (not the basic view). See the little button marked hex? For me it's on the far left, just under the display bar. Click on that. Now, under the numbers you can see the letters a-f. Now that you're enabled hex, you can enter the combination of numbers and letters you're seeing the the 2da file. Once you've entered the number, click the Dec button right next to the hex button and you'll get the decimal version. :)

Also check out Vladp's tutorial's section..

http://www.vladp.net/nejmain.html

I used that when I was trying to introduce new anims.. There are two files involved with adding unused references into the game - not sure this is what you're referring to. Vladp should have a copy, and I may. he's got more experience than me in this area, and would be a good place to start. he doesn't spend much time on FW.. I'd reccoment following the link and talking with him.

When I got back here I went looking for the ids files, after a long break from modding. Vlad was where I got my help years ago, and once again he came through when I asked.. here's the link..

umm.... why don't you use DLTCEP?

And the raven, never flitting, still is sitting, still is sitting
On the pallid bust of Pallas just above my chamber door;
And his eyes have all the seeming of a demon's that is dreaming,
And the lamp-light o'er him streaming throws his shadow on the floor;
And my soul from out that shadow that lies floating on the floor
Shall be lifted - nevermore!

There's also an IDS file that comes with the game that will list all the animations and their decimal numbers ;).
