Hello again,
Sorry to be a pain, but I still can't get this to download - I'm using Opera (on WinXP) and I'm attempting to open the file using WinRAR - I've tried clearing the cache but I still get the same problem I described above. As no-one else has complained, I'm beginning to suspect it is just my me. ![]() Charles |

I repackaged the entire patch and included an extra feature: restored Tasloi animation.

I think it's the new BulletProof FTP program I have tried for the Mac (since the previous one expired some time ago).
I'll upload it a different way, ASAP. -Galactygon -------------------- |

Tired of having to work with a buggy FTP program, I decided to delay the release of the patch (v2 of part 1), but include more features than I originally anticipated.
Several of the features include a redone RACE.IDS (I actually added re-ordered the names not the values, and I added more than a hundred new PnP races that some might consider using). http://galactygon.blackwyrmlair.net/bestia...ions/Patch2.exe I really believe the download works now, since I tested it myself. -Galactygon -------------------- |

The download works fine now (and is a little over 4mb, for those who care about such things).
Finally, the Tasloi animation can be used in BG2. Looks like "The Tasloi Thread" will be joining "Dark Heart of the Xvart" on the mods-to-do list ![]() Also, the specific field in the .cre format is 1 byte, which only allows for values from 0 to 256, so several of the entries in race.ids would appear not to work. Unless, you've tested them? Also, although only a few values are listed in the stock specific.ids file, the .cre files in the game use a wider range. So, if you happen to use the same value as an already existing cre, scripts could get confused. Although, I dont know if the cre files with specific values are used in-game, or just junk. And I dont know what range of values they use. Finally, I'd ask that when the final release is done, separate components are used, so that the animations can be installed, without installing altered .ids files, or changing existing creatures. I'm sure you've already planned this, but I thought I'd mention it anyway ![]() -------------------- Visit the IESDP https://gibberlings3.github.io/iesdp/

I'm sure you've already planned this, but I thought I'd mention it anyway ![]() The IDS files don't change existing creatures, meaning that an Ankheg with a particular value assigned will still remain an Ankheg in terms of what .eff files reference that value and so on. The only conflict I can imagine are other mods that change the IDS files to a great deal. But then again, those mods wouldn't be compatible with Bestial Animations, since they most likely introduce new animations to the game. The only 2 changes I plan to make is to assign all summoned creatures the value 50 for specific.IDS to rid the game from the summoning limit, and gated creatures recieve the value of 51 in the same IDS file. That will most likely be optional. -Galactygon -------------------- |

Err... I have a problem (again)
![]() ![]() When I try an install this, I get the error: CODE ERROR locating resource for 'COPY' Resource [MWWESC.] not found in KEY file: [./chitin.key] Stopping installation because of error. Which appears to refer to this part of the .tp2: CODE COPY ~LC_BAnimations_Patch2/Files~ ~override~ // Waterweird COPY_EXISTING ~MWWESC~ ~override/MWWEWK.bam~ COPY_EXISTING ~MWWESCE~ ~override/MWWEWKE.bam~ COPY_EXISTING ~MWWEA4~ ~override/MWWEA1.bam~ COPY_EXISTING ~MWWEA4E~ ~override/MWWEA1E.bam~ COPY_EXISTING ~MWWEA2~ ~override/MWWEA2.bam~ COPY_EXISTING ~MWWEA2E~ ~override/MWWEA2E.bam~ COPY_EXISTING ~MWWEA3~ ~override/MWWEA3.bam~ COPY_EXISTING ~MWWEA3E~ ~override/MWWEA3E.bam~ Should these files have .bam extensions? Also there doesn't appear to be any MWWEA2.bam, MWWEA2E.bam, MWWEA3.bam or MWWEA3E.bam files in my installation - should there be? Thanks, and sorry to be a pest Charles |

It's an oversight. Some of the files no one has I do have. I simply copied them before-hand and forgot to keep that in mind.
This: CODE COPY ~LC_BAnimations_Patch2/Files~ ~override~ // Waterweird COPY_EXISTING ~MWWESC~ ~override/MWWEWK.bam~ COPY_EXISTING ~MWWESCE~ ~override/MWWEWKE.bam~ COPY_EXISTING ~MWWEA4~ ~override/MWWEA1.bam~ COPY_EXISTING ~MWWEA4E~ ~override/MWWEA1E.bam~ COPY_EXISTING ~MWWEA2~ ~override/MWWEA2.bam~ COPY_EXISTING ~MWWEA2E~ ~override/MWWEA2E.bam~ COPY_EXISTING ~MWWEA3~ ~override/MWWEA3.bam~ COPY_EXISTING ~MWWEA3E~ ~override/MWWEA3E.bam~ should really be this: CODE COPY ~LC_BAnimations_Patch2/Files~ ~override~ // Waterweird COPY_EXISTING ~MWWESC~ ~override/MWWEWK.bam~ COPY_EXISTING ~MWWESCE~ ~override/MWWEWKE.bam~ COPY_EXISTING ~MWWEA4~ ~override/MWWEA1.bam~ COPY_EXISTING ~MWWEA4E~ ~override/MWWEA1E.bam~ COPY_EXISTING ~MWWEA4~ ~override/MWWEA2.bam~ COPY_EXISTING ~MWWEA4E~ ~override/MWWEA2E.bam~ COPY_EXISTING ~MWWEA4~ ~override/MWWEA3.bam~ COPY_EXISTING ~MWWEA4E~ ~override/MWWEA3E.bam~ -Galactygon -------------------- |

Thanks, but I still needed to add ".bam" after the MWE* files to make it work, i.e. change:
CODE COPY_EXISTING ~MWWESC~ ~override/MWWEWK.bam~ to CODE COPY_EXISTING ~MWWESC.bam~ ~override/MWWEWK.bam~ is this normal? Charles |

Oh yes, I forgot to add that one too. Added for V3.
