how do you create the glow for weapons

[meinie]

one more absolutely random question how do you add the glow to the shoulder armour and stuff cos i have just downloaded a antrix server to see what the debat was all about and i notice that the one i downlaoded has armour with sort of a mist glowing round it which covers the whole body but i was wondering it you need special software to create it or is it spell ids ???? oh and thanks for the replys on the last one

This would have to be a client-side-only (only the folder with a custom MPQ would see it) edit. And you would probably have to create/patch your own custom MPQ. The enchants or 'glows' that are on shoulders are coded to the specific models. I've only seen the glows themselves moved around a couple times, and they were done by people very comfortable using cryects command line tools...

it's not easy, at all, but it's not impossible either.
I wish I could tell you more, but I've only read here and there, and played with it only a little bit, and that was a long time ago really...


Best of luck, I recommend rooting around mmowned's model editing forum.

it will be either enchants or some armour, such as some tier 6 sets have their own glow, but most of this is built into the game....though there maybe a way to put it on, but i have no idea on how to do it
