I'm going to use some new BAMs to spruce up some items I've made to add some flavor for an upcoming multiplayer session. I am having problems with getting the BAMs centered in the inventory window. When I look at the BG2 BAMs, they do not seem to have the same coordinates as one another. Is there a good way to find out the ideal coordinates to center a BAM in the inventory screen?

I recall having the same problem as you, yeah. There are the two frames for each inventory icon--in the slot, and "picked up" by the mouse--and one of them should have 0,0 as the center coordinates, and the other should have half of its dimensions. I forget which is which, of course. Let me go take a look...

Okay, yeah, the small frame should be 0,0, the large one should be half,half which would make it 32,32 for a regular-sized 64x64 inventory icon.

Thanks, Ghreyfain. I'm gonna go try it right now.

Works great, thanks Ghreyfain. This should be in the IESDP under "bam."

DLTCEP: just hit 'center bam'

[Kalindor]

Yeah, that's how I ended up doing it actually. I hadn't messed with BAMs before, so I was under the impression that you had to center both frames of the BAM before Ghrey enlightened me.
