EQInterface Forums - View Single Post - Changes to the Animations file

at the time i did this and posted it the official compare wasn't up yet.

the compare is a little more complicated than mine as well - it's got a couple 1-pixel position changes and does some of it's add-ins in the middle of a tree.

to be honest, i was kinda speedy and sloppy on this - i opened up the old one (with 'old' tacked on the end so i could tell the difference) and the new one side by side in Notepad++, and compared line numbers with the trees closed. if the line numbers didn't match up, i fiddled until they did and put what i did to make it match in a new file.
what this means is that if an individual line changed, i didn't catch it. however, i did this with a custom animations file for my boyfriend last night, because he uses Delta X and was stuck with default until i did. it worked then.
i don't know if this will work for everyone, but it's a quick and specific 'do this', rather than having to figure it out yourself if you're not a code person.

i did make mine a little more text-intensive than it needed, as well - the entire last 'replace' section could be done by just adding the final 'frames' tree (the one for dragitem49) to the end of that piece, before the closing tag for it, but i wanted to make this as easy to understand as possible.
