how to use animations... HELP!

[Lentonius]

i have used the x-idx to extract skeletons and animations, but i have no idea how to use them in game, and make the game use the unpaked ones, because i wish to mod them in the future.

cheers

although helpful i was looking on how to simply unpak them like the UI folders and not have the game crash when you rename the pak files. So far i have no idea where to put the unpaked animations to avoid CTD

XIDX does not work like that, which is why you need to read the tutorial on how to use XIDX. You can't just replace the animations once they are extracted because the game is actually reading from the pak files still. Once you change an animation you need to repack the animations into the pak files with pack_animations.bat
