Shapeshifting

[JadeRabbit 5]

Sorry if this is in the wrong section. I wasn't sure if it should be here or in the Diablo 2 Fallen section.

Edit: Well I feel foolish, it seems someone already fixed the things I considered problems with shapeshifting. Specifically not being able to keep your skills while shifted. I found the fix in Dimitrius's CM Patch Addendum changelog.

Now I just have to figure out how it was done and then figure out how to make the creature you shift into based on the equipped shrunken head.

That's a code-level change.  You'll basically have to work from his full package to build something with those mechanics.  Skills and equipment will carry over, as opposed to the original mechanic where a completely separate creature is swapped in.

I'm patiently awaiting the day when I can make use of those same binaries in D2F. They just need a few tweaks to be compatible with the mod.
