Enchanter animation made visible?

[Bergen]

Hi folks, I was thinking back to vanilla the other day, and remembered one instance where one of my guildmates was having graphics issues. My main was an enchanter and I was using my animation at the time. My guildmate freaked out because he could actually "see" my animation, and said it looked like a half elf with a lolling head.

I've always been curious to see... does anyone have a screenshot of a "visible" enchanter animation?

Head shape suggests Wood Elf. Which would make sense since Wood Elf is the base for the medium-size PC races in terms of animations.

The head does kinda loll from side to side when it walks.

Little known fact is that normal tiny daggers won't summon enchanter pets, you have use ones that have been used in the murder of a homeless wood elf. Somewhere in Felwithe there is a High Elf kingpin keeping the enchanter pet market afloat.

I recalled seeing this bug on a friends PC back in 1999 and wondered what was up with it. The guy had issues with Neriak rendering the neon glyphs on the wall correctly and yeah, he was able to see a model for the Enchanter animation pet as seen above.

The card he used was the old Creative Labs 3D Banshee card using the stock driver. In an update that was issued a couple of weeks later, the new driver removed the bugs.

Don't ask me how, but I happened across this photo and remembered this thread. This must be what it was like? It looks like the body is also slightly displayed and the head further yet.

Found a whole series on this, devs should give a 1% chance for animations to look like this to anyone in zone (apparently some see but others can't).

Weird shit man.

rygar knows everything classic. Hope he uses the power for good and not making the server harder.

Accurate.

Cool thing though (and the reason for tiny dagger plenitude):

All wood elves are homeless, and there are a TON of them you.

Early P99 I saw it here, except the model was white and looked more human male than wood elf

Just helping to accurately recreate sir, some fixes make life easier, but some naturally make life harder. Is what it is

I played EQ once on my shitty laptop back in late 99/early '00 and the graphics chip overheated one night I'm assuming. Everything went from its usual texture to randomly being covered in multicolored dots. My enchanter animation was no exception, the shield/sword had a multicolored man made of dots running around between them. It was strange.
