Oh don't be too sad. I've been banned for MQ2, banned by Uthgaard for calling him gay, called Nilbog some names. I'm also generally a non-issue in game, have donated a decent amount, and now have contributed some work. Its all a wash.

No one was trying to disparage or take credit from you. Added your names to the patch notes thread.

They're so beautiful

lvl 24 shielding spells have blue diamonds coming outa the hands, think it should be just orange/green balls.

You're right, but due to the limitations on the number of animations per spell with the new particle system I had to put them in together. As soon as someone discovers how to allow more per spell (it is possible since fire bolt spells have an extra effect) then I will be able to change it to look exactly like classic. So there will be other spells that aren't fully done yet like fear, heal, root, clarity, and fire spells. Most of the effects are just missing duplicated animations for the waist and feet that classic had.

i do appreciate what you are trying to do.. i really dont understand why these changes were made official when you yourself admit they are not complete/classic

Really? Cause this whole server isn't quite classic yet, they're still working on it. Do you think they should have held off letting people play on it till it was perfect?

Either way for some reason even though they are older styles of spell effects they are much better improvements and colors. Do not understand why they would downgrade, but they definitely looked like shit compared to Telin's modifications which are much more classic than before. Wouldn't you want closer to classic than not? (him obviously, not you)

Are these automatically put into the game now after you download the new spell files? Or do I have to download these and install them separately?

Hey folks, I just want to say big thanks if any of you see this some 10 years later. I am playing on Mangler TLP and overwrote spellsnew files with the files from v0.048 and it GREATLY improved the existing new particle effects. For the last month I have been straight up deleting those files though before clicking play to revert back to the original particle effects, but without the magic shooting out of the hands.

From what I'm gathering these files are specifically for P99? Is there instructions on here somewhere on how to use these files to restore original particle effects with magic shooting out of the hands or is that just not possible?

Saw this other thread from that genius Telin and downloaded the file at the top of that thread from DropBox ClassicSPells v0.98

Cannot even say thank you enough.
