I agree - I much prefer the old avatars. Seems like the only way is to not install HoW. You could maybe replace the bifs in your override directory but I'm not sure if that'd make the game crash or not (probably not, since there's no dual-wielding?) Do you know which files those would be? I could try by installing vanilla IWD to a different directory and copying them over. Worth a shot, since it would make the game much more enjoyable. Hell, if i worked for IWD, it could probably work for BG2, but then you have the dual-wielding problem. Hmm. I don't have IWD1 installed, sorry. But I think they'd be easy to find because I recall they had intuitive filenames. What's the TeamBG programme that unpacks the chitin.key file and lets you extract the spell/avatar/weapon/etc bif/bam files (animation files)? Let me check... OK, it's called WinBIFF, download it here: http://www.sorcerers.net/Games/IEmodding/index.php Edit: download Bamworkshop on the same page to view the animations to confirm they are what you want. Edit 2: I just checked and I do have IWD1 installed. I can see the bams for Arundel and bats and stuff but character avatars aren't immediately obvious... Edit 3: OK, found them. They're under data\CHRAnim.bif in the chitin.key file. I guess you'd just extract that entire part of the chitin.key file to your override directory once you've installed HoW? No guarentees. There could be hard-coded animation frame count differences between IWD1 and HoW. Edit 3: Supposing you get bored and want to make your own spells or items, the IEEP tool on that page is a gem for that. DaleKeeper can detect any items/spell you make and add to the Override directory, too, if you can't be bothered using the console in game (I couldn't!). Thanks Krez! I'll give it a try after uninstalling IWD+HOW+TotL and report back. Edit 1: Ok, I extracted ALL the files from CHRAnim.bif into the override directory. I didn't really want to fuss with searching for each individual one because there are so damn many. Here goes nothing. Edit 2: Well, that didn't work. I didn't get any error messages or anything, just that nothing was changed

How do I use Dalekeeper (which I got to essentially eliminate race/class restrictions only) to help use old avatar animations? I tried changing Appearance (under Characteristics tab) to male fighter low (low res?) But that didn't do anything.

...so I decided to finally play IWD with all the add-ons. My only question: Is there any way to restore the original avatar animations (Ala BG1?) that were changed to the crappy BG2 avatars? I thought the reason for "upgrading" them was to make use of dual-wielding, but I see no option to dual-wield. I would much rather have the classic BG avatars.

Would you be happier with an encyclopedia?

How else would it be financed? Thats why countries with socialist programs pay upwards of 60% taxes. Maybe Im just a selfish SOB but I loathe the idea of my hard work paying for someone elses stuff. Where half or better of the monies I earned to take care of MY family are taken away from me without choice to pay for some other schlub? No thanks. Your hard work is already paying for someone else's stuff.

On point 2, parents are legally responsible for their children receiving a "suitable" education. They have no choice. And there is no guarantee that a child will receive better education at a private school. Plus, you're still paying for public school for everyone else. You're right, though. It is a slippery slope. Where do you draw the line? Some socialist principals are okay, but not all? (perhaps the two previous statements should be in reverse order, but oh well). I know some like to use the police force angle, as well, but that's a little absurd. The police force is to maintain law and order, so that one really goes nowhere.

1. It's as free as #2 is. Your taxes pay for it. 2. Precisely 3. There is no guarantee. Hopefully it's there when you retire. 4. We can't afford to because there is no tax designated to pay for it. But you're forced to pay for education as well, even if you send your child to private school or have no children. I'm not calling for a tax increase, or that there should necessarily be UHC. It would be a major upheaval not only to the healthcare industry but the whole system altogether.

To those that are against universal health care: Are you also against public education, ie, you can't afford to pay for your child to go through k-12? Tough. Are you opposed to public fire departments; would you rather have to pay them to come put out your house fires? Are you opposed to Social Security? Is your argument against UHC one of socialism or practicality?

Not worried...like, at all. Wake me when we get to Outbreak (1995) scenario.

Why aren't you guys posting them?

If they had to waterboard that guy over 180 times, how effective can it be?

You're welcome!

Like this? http://crimsonkeep.com/downloads/mp3/alanschu-amlab4.mp3 Hard to edit the front/back to make it a complete smooth transition tho. Well, I know how to record things through sndrec32. I guess I meant a more complex app that could extend to more than just 16 bars or whatever.

I love playing with this. I usually just start with one note, then another, then build from their. It's a lot of fun. I wish there was a way we could record this or build upon it to make full tunes.

Also if you want to use other peoples codes, copy it and just paste it on the board! Good luck!

Um...

Um...sure, they count. Why wouldn't they? Americans aren't a race. And you can name a nationality that is? Not really, unless you want to consider Israelis/Jews. But in general, nationality != race.

Probably. Hopefully they end the season/series in a proper manner. If not, maybe they can shop the show to SyFy.

I didn't play XML2 on the PC, so I'm not sure if the controls are different, but with MUA, the controls are easy for PC. WASD for movement, and 0-9 numpad for attacks and powers. That's pretty much all these games are.
