Okay, let me try to translate that: "Open it (we're talking about the main Ghost.exe file here, I guess) in a HEX editor. Run a search for the name of the animation file of the ghost you want to replace. Right above it should be the names of the animations inside it. Then run a search for the name of the animation file of the ghost you want to replace the other ghost with. Right above it is its animations. Overwrite the first ghost's animation names with the equivalent animation names of the second ghost or similar ones (e.g. moonscream_wail and soulscreech_pow). The only restriction of animation swapping (that I found) is that the animations must have the same events (eg. the Dragoon is incompatible with Azrael, because Azrael has no stop event animation)" Wonderful thing, punctuation. Any questions about this, just ask.

I don't understand the part about overwriting names...I searched for moonscream_anims.bsp,then searched for soulscreech_anims.bsp.....now what?

OMG! I'm a hacker, now!
sorry...I couldn't resist... The instruction worked like a charm, Nem. Thanks a lot! I'm not into the idea of doing a lot of funky stuff. I figured that the programmers had an idea of what they wanted and I should preserve that, but leveling up characters I don't have a problem with.

If you really want to make things of your own for Ghost Master you should sign the petition, Wierdsworld! I don't understand the part about overwriting names...I searched for moonscream_anims.bsp,then searched for soulscreech_anims.bsp.....now what? Moonscream's animations (offset +507ABC): moonscream_fri, moonscream_talk, moonscream_man, moonscream_wail, moonscream_siren, moonscream_shriek, moonscream_pow, moonscream_mov, moonscream_idl3, moonscream_idl2 and moonscream_idl. Soulscreech' animations (offset +507DF8): soulscreech_fri, soulscreech_man, soulscreech_pow, soulscreech_mov and soulscreech_idl. The idea is to replace the animations of the ghost you want to replace (Moonscream) with the ones of the ghost you want to replace it with (Soulscreech). So basically it goes like this: - Open HEXplorer and load Ghost.exe. Be sure to keep a backup! - Head over to Moonscream's offset +507ABC (Pos: 507abch). - Replace all matching animation names (moonscream_fri, moonscream_man, moonscream_pow, moonscream_mov and moonscream_idl) with the ones from Soulscreech (soulscreech_fri, soulscreech_man, soulscreech_pow, soulscreech_mov and soulscreech_idl). How do you replace? Not with the Replace button (okay, you can use it for this, but let's keep it easy here). Just select the first character of each name (the "m") and type "soulscreech" (without the ""). If done right the names should be overwritten. - Select File -> Save to save the changes. I hope it works, as Soulscreech has much less animations than Moonscream...

OK!I am now an amatuar hacker!Here's the latest result of my work... ;D I did that and it worked GREAT(as you can see),too bad theres no voice files to switch...Smokin Joe/Fingers is the only swap I could get to work,ghastly/azrael and brigit/soulscreech won't work because SS and Azrael have more characters in their hex file names then Ghastly(ghas) and Brigit,so it ends up cutting off part of the name and that as I found out corrupts the .exe(lucky i have backups)any way i can switch those files and not corrupt the game?Now,it's midnight where I am,my eyes are like weights,and I'm going to bed... P.S BTW Smokin Joe's animations are cool,but the ending part of his power anim happens too late(couple seconds after the power is "cast")
