.def files
Anyone here who knows how to create new .def animations for creatures?
There was some tool called def-maker if i remember right but you couldnt set the separators there (shown up as "NAME.pcx +" in Defview).
Thanks in advance for your help

There is a new version of DefMaker that works for making new creature defs, unfortunatly at this time the author has only allowed it for use by WoG team members and has not released it to the general public. I can see if I can find out what the story is and see if he will be releasing it anytime soon.
In the mean time what are planning on doing? Do you have any completed animations or are you just getting started?
One thing to keep in mind when making new animations is that the first 10 indexes of the palette must be specific colors. These are used by the game for denoting outlines and shadows. You can check the palette from an existing creature to get the colors required.

I've already noticed about the palette thing before...
And yeah, I'm just starting to do them
You might (not) remember me posting a thread some time ago. What I want to do is to change / replace existing animations.
As for the Defmaker thingy... I actually don't get why you dont release it for download O.o

Because the person that made it has not given permission for us to release it to the public. That is out of our hands. If he gives permission it will be released to the public. If not there is nothing we can do about it.

I have sent a request through the proper channels, the author of DefMaker doesn't speak english so I had to go through an intermediary, I'll let you know when I get a response.
I recommend that you keep working on the gfx, even if the new DefMaker isn't released, if you have completed animations you may be given permission to use it.
Just curious, what new monsters are you working on?

He is kinda stupid not releasing the program to the public.

Actually no. The def maker was made so that the WoG team could make new creatures. You don't see 3do giving out their programs or info do you? If they would WoG would be a good bit different. While making new things Slava is trying to crack the rest of the program so we can do more with it.

What about if I for example want to make new creatures myself and give you creature prototypes

That would be great, if the team finds your submission suitable it can be added to the next update, you may even be asked to join the team and provide further support. Just make sure any submissions are unique, complete and in the proper format.

No not yet still waiting for a response from the creator of the program. Another email was sent out asking for a response in the WoG teams group thread today.

Hope he/she says yes. I can't wait think of all the submissions. A monster boost should make WoG fans happy for awhile

Good news, an new version of DefMaker, specificly for making creature defs has been created. I have been authorized to distribute this "User Edition" to those that ask. The only stipulation is that anyone receiving a copy do not make it available to the general public.
Anyone interested can give me their Email address, either through the forum's Email or posted in this thread, so that I can send the zip.

Re-posted
To all those great artists here at HC:
While I was using Resource Editor, I noticed that file AV.Gnoll.def looks like the tree-shaped Seer's Hut (AVX.seeb.0def). They are not the same, though, and I guess the former is an early yet unused version of the latter. There is also the Gnoll Hut, so I believe the file has nothing to do with Gnolls (in order words, I don't think it's an external dwelling, for example). Could someone confirm this?
In addition, could this "missing" object be implemented/extracted/used in the current or future version of the editor?
What about three missing artifacts from the original Heroes? Have those files been overwritten by new WoG artifacts perhaps?
Finally, if I wanted to change the graphics of anything in the game, I just need to create graphics and overwrite the existing ones? I understand Zielevitz's Forge project was done this way, right?
