This in-depth guide covers the process of recoloring a visual effect for NWN1 from start to finish, with screenshot illustrations and easy-to-understand, step-by-step instructions that even a custom content beginner will be able to handle. The guide uses the process of recoloring lightning to be red (see screenshot) as an example, and the download package includes all the files that are referenced in the guide via screenshots so the user can check out the files for themselves, and have a working set of stuff to build off of (this includes a padded visualeffects.2da).

So what if I'm slow in discovering work like this? Thanks for this, it'll help a lot in adding more customization to my PW. _________________________ World of Aenea (Hall of Fame PW and the origin of all my works)

This is great stuff, as it gives plenty of "hands-on" examples and assumes no prior knowledge of emitters, nodes, or how the color settings in vfx models are derived. This will certainly spice up spells in my PW, and it came along just when I needed it. Thank you, Hugie! _________________________ Realms Of Destiny PW
