Raising Awareness for some Fixes to Spell Particles

[Telin]

I wanted to raise some awareness as many people do not visit the tech forums.

A few of us have been working on fixing the spell particles. Many spells no longer have "floating" hand particles that get in your face. They also level up with the character correctly. The most noticeable difference other than the improved hand particles will be the healing spells. They now have a lot more particles similar to Classic.

Placing the linked files in your directory will make these improvements. Back up your old spellsnew.eff spellsnew.edd files in case you like the buggy versions:

Keylogger! The healing effect is very nice. This was the one thing that really interrupted the classic feel for me. Nice work!

Yeah I'm loving this little fix! Will this be overwritten when the devs release patches?

I think this will be overwritten in the short term. When we do get all spells fixed at least in level progression and hand particle directions it will become default and included in future patches. For now this is just a work in progress.

I've been using these since you guys released the first version, not only is it closer to classic...it looks a whole lot better.
