Classic Spell Particles - More progress!

[Telin]

More Examples:
Shield spell broken into 3 separate effects like classic along with the bone alignment. These would require a lot of editing to make it look more classic, they would look fuller and come out farther.

I was just excited to discover it's a setting still available in the client. Now how to change spell emitters from attaching to point_of_origin to root_bone is a complex issue that would require some help. I upped the effects to a little bit closer to how it'll look if fixed.

Great, they look a lot more like classic now. Great work as ever, can't wait to download it.

Not yet, I could use a more experienced person who's done some reverse engineering with this game and is passionate about spell effects.

Sorry I can't be of use here [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] but lack the skills unfortunately. However it would be great if at some point we could see again the particles in first person view, because, at least for me, that was one of the things that made Everquest diferent to other MMOs in therms of inmersion (aside with the camera movement when swinging a weapon).

Cheers !!

Have you tried this trick while also reverting to the "old" spell effects system seen by deleting the spellsnew files? I wonder if that stops the emitters from coming out of location 0,0,0 in the zone.

Telin is there any news on the spell casting on yourself / others casting on you particles to be visible on 1st person view?

/me +1 want to know this also

I haven't found a way to apply the root bone alignment to the spellbind points yet. It can be done with weapon points so far. Maybe it's possible to change it for the spellpoints or maybe the hand emitters can be forced to use the weapon points since they are at the same location anyway. I did find the spell points in the client, but I wouldn't know what to change the tracks to since they're not in plain text.

The clipped particles seem to be hard coded for all spell points on models. They're viewable if emitting from the ground and not attached, but that makes the game crash with illusion spells for some reason. Someone may be able to turn off the clipping by erasing the code, but I'm only speculating and would need someone with a lot if client code knowledge.

Is this part of the patch files, or do I need to get this separately?
