What's up, people.
Is this possible? And if so, how? now I have noticed B. B. Hart's mod for re-creating Ignus & Morte for Bg2 (which works fine and i must admit is quite an achievement), but does anyone know of any mods for dak'kon, vhailor, nameless one, fall-from-grace, annah, nordom? i've looked everywhere and couldn't find any.
how did b. b. hart do it? software, method etc...
it would be truly wicked to play multi-player as the great ps:t npcs.
cheers for any help you can offer me!

I remember someone trying, but there were problems. The animations in the two games have different sizes (I believe PS:T ones are larger) and have different numbers of directions. So it would probably involve a lot of manual editing.

As for Ignus and Morte; I am not familiar with B B Hart's work but I would guess these two worked by using the fire elemental and demilich animations respectively, or something like that?

Ahh. That makes sense. I checked out the appearance avatars on the ShadowKeeper, and you're right. That's a real shame - it would've been cool, but thanks for letting me know, Andyr.
Although if anyone knows how to do it, I would be very appreciative...
Cheers!

It is possible, and in fact TDD had Fall-from-Grace in it, if I recall. There used to be a program called Randat's BAMResizer floating around which could change the scaling so the PST animations would fit into other games. See if it's listed on the PPG tools list:

Cheers for the link, SimDing0. I've downloaded it and gonna give it a try, although I'm not sure I'm smart enough, I'll do my best!

...........

Just tried it, and it doesn't work. @$%*!!!

the 'python.exe' file isn't working - the ms-dos is telling me that the 'import site' failed: use -v for traceback.

Does anyone know why it might not be working? I am aware that people may not be familiar with this software, but if anyone's got any clues/ideas/suggestions, I would be eternally grateful.

Thanks, guys!
