BAM editors?

Indemaijinj · 06-19-2002, 10:46 AM

I once saw a comment about a BAM editor.

Is there any kind of program that allows you to create new character avatars and if there is where can i download it?

www.teambg.com have tools to edit all but one of the BG2 image files (The one they cant is the plt file used for portraits). However, I dont think its possible to add in avatar pics, I think they have to be swapped with existing ones. Its a limitation of 3rd party understanding of the infinity engine rather than the engine itself though, so this may change.

If you decide to try, youll probably need a 3d modeller to create the character and then render from that - it would be nigh-on possible to draw the character in 2d, given the number of frames and angles youd have to do.

Use Infinity Explorer to find them.

If your into serious modding winbiff might be easier to use - Infinity explorer dosent show everything. But thats just my opinion and both work for the majority of stuff.

Ieambg also have tutorials on most modding, I dont recall one on creating avatars but that dosent mean there isnt one.
