Now another question. I claimed my animation "Probe". It returns me new 2 IDS list which i copied and make new animate.ids and new anisnd.ids

The Death Knight is either a BG1 Simple Monster or BG1 Simple Caster. I am not sure which offhand - try it in both and make sure you copy the existing listings, then claim a new slot, copy the animation entries exactly as-is (including special characters) and rename your BAMs with those prefixes.

 

So, with the latest list as linked above, the new entries for a simple monster with paperdoll (since you apparently want it for a party member) would be something like:

0x547D DEATH_KNIGHT_NEW
0x547D £AD      CGAMEANIMATIONTYPE_DEATH_KNIGHT_NEW

And you'd rename your animations from MDKNG1.BAM to £ADG1.BAM etc. and put those in your override folder. You need to have your system set to a Western European codepage (as described in the readme) for all this to work.

DK is simple monster for sure.

 

Hmm.. but why i need put that strings

 

0x547D DEATH_KNIGHT_NEW 
0x547D £AD      CGAMEANIMATIONTYPE_DEATH_KNIGHT_NEW

Why i cant change £ to another letter and edit ids by hand?

You can't do that with Infinity Animations. You have to use the exact code assigned by the reference picker. That's how the code works.

I resurect that thread

 

Now i want to add animation to BGEE

 

What i done

I take mgwe*.bams (werewolf) coz it haz only 4 bams i need - edited it,

 

Ingame all work perfect when i set appearence in Keeper to werewolf

 

Now what i need.

 

1) Make that animation unique - so not every werewolf ingame has my appearence

2) Change sounds of attack ant etc to human

3) Attach paperdoll

 

How to do it?

 

Maybe i somehow can dublicate werewolf to werewolf_new, then change bams, paperdoll, and sounds?

And your resurrection is made is a totally off topic and erroneously. Anyways.
In EE games, you just add NEW .bam files.. with a registered pre-fix, and then you just make a .2da file(that looks exactly like the MGWE.2da) with the prefix file names you used, add the soundfiles you set in the .2da file... and that's pretty much it. The MGWEINV.bam is the inventory paperdoll ...
In non-EE games, you should just forget about it for now. ...

[Probe]

thanks for answer..

 

Didnt really understood about prefix..

 

Can i use anyone that not used in game? like XY for example?

Well, if you make it only for your self yes, but if you intent to make a mod others would use, then you need to register a prefix in the above linked forum... yes, the link goes to an ad page ... but wait for the 10 seconds it requires and you eventually get to the correct page after pushing the skip action/what ever. After that you should post your prefix request and the forum maintainer will reply to your post to give you the approval.

Yeah i want to make a mod

 

BIG THANKS for helping The Imp

And how i attach bams to creature?

 

I mean i did what u said

Created BAMS with new prefix "XY" (just to be sure it wroks)
Copy MGWE.2DA to XYWE.2DA

 

But how attach all it to creature so i can chhose that animation in EE keeper for my character?

[Probe]

As i remember i need to do smth with EXTANIM.2da EXTSPEED.2da and ANIMATE.IDS
 

[Probe]

Did all as suggested but now i have empty circle and no my animation

[The Imp]

Well you need to extend the animate.ids file with the file .2da name, so in weidu code for example you just:

APPEND ~animate.ids~ ~2101 XYWE~
UNLESS ~XYWE~

the 2101 is an example number... that the vanilla (EE) game doesn't use it, so you can use that, the 2102 and so forth in hexadecimal(so the a, b, c, d, and e's work too) up until 21ee, as the game holds the 2200 to one animation..
And then you assign that number to the .cre's offset 0x0028 .. and if you read the text in that, you'll know why this is hard in the non EE games, but it's not so in them as the game reads the file when it's ran, so you can extend it and use the resulting files without need to edit the .exe file.

I did all by tutorials and totally confused why it not working

What i did

1) Took "Werewolf Great" bams as example (coz i also need simple creature bams)

Edited 4 Bams:

MGWEG1.bam --> XYAAG1.bam
MGWEG1e.bam --> XYAAG1e.bam
MGWEG2.bam --> XYAAG2.bam
MGWEG2e.bam --> XYAAG2e.bam

(I check bams - they worked perfect ingame)

2) Add "0x7E02 XYAA" to Animate.ids

3) 32258 0 1 1 0 0 0 47 0 0 NONE NONE NONE 8 5 XYAA NONE 0 0 NONE

To EXTANIM.2DA

4) 32258 8

To EXTSPEED.2DA


Now in EEKeeper i choosing XYAA animtaion - and in-game it just empty circle

EXTANIM.2DA [...] EXTSPEED.2DA


Now in EEKeeper i choosing XYAA animtaion - and in-game it just empty circle

This schema was totally overhauled in EE to the extent that the ext*.2da files are essentially obsolete. Each animation slot has its own .ini file that enables it and defines all the settings related to it. Your example would be 7e02.ini, though check that doesn't already conflict with an existing animation (a brown chicken for example, in some games). I'm not sure if the EE schema is documented anywhere; best bet may be to look at another similar .ini file.

 

For the record, this applies only to EE, not to Infinity Animations, which uses its own code to extend animations that were limited in the legacy games.
