Ashatiel's CRE sprite in vanilla SoD

AndreaColombo

Could someone with a vanilla SoD installation tell me what the sprite assigned to Ashatiel (BDASHATI.CRE) is?

Bubb

FIGHTER_FEMALE_ELF - 0x6111

Thank you, @Bubb .

Do you know what it is that makes her display wings? I thought it would be the 1PP attachable wings, but Ashatiel’s CRE does not appear to have them equipped as an item.

I usually play with restored BG1 sprites and I’m trying to understand why wings don’t display with them.

It's BDERINYE.ITM.

I still need to understand why it doesn't display on BG1 sprites though. @Bubb perhaps you could take a peek at the code to see what's what?

The wings are coded as a helmet animation. For BG2 sprites the resref it pulls from starts with (animation INI height_code_helmet) + (equipped helmet animation code).

The only BAM range that has the wings is WQMZW(...), which correlates to the following animations:

5001 - CLERIC_MALE_ELF_LOW
5011 - CLERIC_FEMALE_ELF_LOW
5101 - FIGHTER_MALE_ELF_LOW
5111 - FIGHTER_FEMALE_ELF_LOW
5201 - MAGE_MALE_ELF_LOW
5211 - MAGE_FEMALE_ELF_LOW
5301 - THIEF_MALE_ELF_LOW
5311 - THIEF_FEMALE_ELF_LOW
6001 - CLERIC_MALE_ELF
6011 - CLERIC_FEMALE_ELF
6101 - FIGHTER_MALE_ELF
6111 - FIGHTER_FEMALE_ELF
6201 - MAGE_MALE_ELF
6211 - MAGE_FEMALE_ELF
6301 - THIEF_MALE_ELF
6311 - THIEF_FEMALE_ELF

You might be able to copy the wing BAMs over to the BG1 ranges to make it show up for them, but they might be out of alignment.

It is possible that it won’t work because BG1 sprites won’t accept that particular helmet animation code. I’ll see what I can do but chances are it won’t be feasible as is. Thanks for looking into it.
