Finding Graphical Effects

misterid

I want to add some graphical effects to items via DLTCEP. Like the cloud-like this that spiral around a character that is wearing the cloak of mirroring, but when I open the clck26 in DLTCEP I cannot figure out what the coding for the graphic is. Any help?

Thanks,

Mr.ID

I believe it's hardcoded to the "Protection from Spell" effect.

The BAM/VVC file(s) still exist (but the resref escapes me). You may be able to play it with opcode #215. Edit: heh, typically, this is an animation people try to mod out of the game. Edit again: unless EE uses the 1PP animation, I suppose.

Galactygon

The animation you are looking for is SPMAGGLO.bam coupled with SPMAGGLO.vvc.

@Galactygon‌ Thanks. Is there any way to view those files outside the game?

@Wisp Yeah, but come on, it's like ioun stones floating around and that is pretty cool. That sphere was awful though, on the old cloak of mirroring.

You will need to use modding tools such as Near Infinity or DLTCEP.

@Galactygon‌ Sorry, I meant is is possible to view the actual graphical effect without adding it to and item and equipping said item in game?

Galactygon

Yes, you can simply open and view .bam files without saving using either of the above modding tools.
