I just got back from the bazaar, and i'm happy to report that i've gotten the old gems completely working again. The animations xml *was* causing the game to crash whenever someone launched the bazaar window, but it turned out all i needed to do was copy a block of about 20 lines of text that was the only thing that had been changed from the animations file before the patch. To make matters easier, verant is kind enough to make all their changes at the
end of the file, so it was easy to find.
this was the only thing i had to copy from the most recent animation file and paste onto the modded one:
- <Ui2DAnimation item="A_DividerVertical">
<Cycle>true</Cycle>
- <Frames>
<Texture>window_pieces03.tga</Texture>
- <Location>
<X>0</X>
<Y>96</Y>
</Location>
- <Size>
<CX>100</CX>
<CY>24</CY>
</Size>
- <Hotspot>
<X>0</X>
<Y>0</Y>
</Hotspot>
<Duration>1000</Duration>
</Frames>
</Ui2DAnimation>
</XML>
But since you all don't want to have to do this yourself, i've attached the fully functional one for your enjoyment(zipped so i could upload it). Now you can have your gems and eat them too..errr..have your cake and use the bazaar window..no...
