How can I import the .acb files into the toolset from the animation composer package we can download from here: http://social.biowar...ct/1331/#files? Is there any tutorial about how to create all the animations needed for a new creature and which blends should I make to include into the apr_base.gda?
Thanks
Thanks

You can open that files with the "open file" option. There is no tutorials on creating animation blend tree for a creature but it can be done!
For the apr_base take a look at the wiki article. If you need other assistance fell free to ask. I worked a lot with blend tree files.

Thank you Nattfodd,
I was trying to open the C_Deera file but it gives me a lot of warnings and shows nothing on the screen, I have even resintalled the toolset and get a new mouse with 3 buttons to scroll.... but still nothing. But I can open the dogie file and I think I'll use its skeleton as a base.
What I don't understand is that I have more groups in the C_doga.acb file than that it is used in the apr_base, for example the C_doga_humov or C_doga_dlg where are those used?
How can I create the anb file used in the apr_base from the acb file I have edited?

Don't worry about warnings, just ignore them.
After you open an .ACB file you can previev the animations only if you copy them in a new animation worksheet; after this, click on a blank zone of the worksheet: you will notice in the object inspector 2 options, "creature rig" is the option you need. With this option you can choose a creature to use to preview the animations.
Then right click over an animationtion you want to preview and choose "play"; choose "reset" to stop the playback. Looking the previews make the things more clear to understand.
The 2 blend trees you mentioned, are problably used by the engine, becaues the doga_humov, groups the animations applied to Humanoids when they are overwhelmed by a creature and the animations of deathblows against creature.
The doga_dlg seems to groups 2 idle animations used during dialogs.
.ANB files are made by "post to local" the animation worksheet, in the "Tools"-->"Export" menu.
See you soon
