EB Animations for 1.2, works with vanilla?

[sleighr]

Okay, need a little help here.

The EB animations pack 1.2, does it work with vanilla RTW 1.2? Or is that the mod version it's made for? Every time I switch the four files the instructions say to, the game CTDs.

I need to know because I'm making models and would like to be able to see how they work with the EB animations in-game. I'm also using 1.2 as well as 1.5/6 because I like 1.2 better at times (for disasters and such).

Is there a file I'm missing that isn't in the EB animations thread? dmb.txt or something?

The EB 1.2 pack works just fine for me, have you tried the show_err command line? Does it give a hint?

Geez, I completely forgot about this thread. Sorry for being so rude and not replying.

Well, I found the problem. Thanks for the show_err tip, BTW. Apparently the original dmb.txt file conflicts with the animations pack as far as slingers are concerned.

For anyone having the same problem, the original game uses the animation: "fs_slinger_new", where the EB pack just uses "fs_slinger".
The game won't start because the old animation no longer exists. It has to be changed in descr_model_battle.txt
