@Firemage- Could you make a tutorial on how to set up the Sweel AI in dromed? Also how to set up the motions in dromed?

The higher res concept art also makes it pretty obvious IMO that the sweel was intended to be hairy rather than scaly. Perhaps it should be greenish-brown instead of plain green? Although of course several skin variations would be easy to make.

Firemage, I think you are misunderstood, the sweel have actually four limbs as shown in this concept (this one is of better quality)
Nope, because I used the REAL concept art for it, which represent three sweel:

http://i60.tinypic.com/xp4rqb.pngLook at the one that I put darker to show you on the right: It have no limbs!!
About the texture, I did it myself from the rat because it was the closest texture for such model. I changed it to make the texturing easier. ^^
Plus, adding limbs is impossible... To make a creature like this, I have been obliged to do some "walking arms" XD
Apply the motions to a guard and laugh, you will be attacked by a snowborder!! ^^
So, It will stay like this.
About texture: YES!! That's the reason which do this snake-like effect, but, as I said, I had problem with texturing... I tried my best but with such low quality texture, it's pretty hard to make them look hair... hehe... But, yes, I wanted to make them hairy, just with no success...
About the Ogre: It exist with two heads, it is in Dromed deluxe, I'm sure of that! But I don't know the author's name... :/
About the tutorial, I'll do something if I have the time, but for the moment, I have some other creatures to create! :p
But, you can check it yourself because my zip contains the 3DS file! :)

I just meant where do you make and how do you make it in the object hierachy and how do you set up it's motions.

Ha! Okay! ^^ Sorry, I have forgotten this in the read me! XD
Ok, so:
--------------
What I have done for the video test: Creature>Beast:Sweel
Motions>ActorTagList: Eel 0
Speech>Voice:Frog
Schema>ClassTags:CreatureType Frog
Dark Gamesyst>BreathConfig:99999 99999 -1 0
>AirSupply:99999
Creature>CreatureType:Humanoid
Shape>ModelName:Sweel
Links:Weapon:Apeclaw
Game>DamageModel>Hit Points: 8
>Max Hit Points: 8
AI>AIcore>Vision Joint: Right finger
About the blood, I have made it is the craybloodsplash, but it exist nomore in thief 2 so I rebuild it.
From BloodSplash, you create craybloodsplash: Links: Corpse > CrayBlood
SFX>Particles: Replace 48 with 125
---------
Have fun! Of course, you're not obliged to do everything like me. ^^

The sweel on the right is a top down shot. The legs hang directly underneath, so you might not be able to see the legs from that angle. The "real" concept art does show legs as well on the prominent sweel, but it's cut off in the picture.

Perhaps... Anyway, the doubt suits me due to the complexy of the thing incoming if I want to add limbs, so... Limbs or not, I see it without ^^'
(After all, the sweel is an eel! ;) )
At least, everybody agree on considering it as a sweel thanks to it little Rodant's head :)
For the ones who don't trust me, look at this picture. We can see it perfectly

That happen if:
-Motions are not installed correctly
or
-You mistape with the Motion>ActorTagList property. It is Eel 0
To install the motions, the folder motion must be in your thief II directory with the file Motiondb.bin (Crush your older motiondb)
Normaly, that should do it ^^
EDIT: Damn it: I have forgotten to put the motiondb in the zip file >< (How I could be stupid! Sorry)
EDIT2: Link updated, that should be better now ^^ sorry again
EDIT3: Note for fun: If you give to my sweel a treebeast motiontag, you can have the feeling to be attacked by roots! OO
Try it yourself!
