This is a VFX and animation for Kaedrin's Eldritch Glaive.
This requires any version of Kaedrin's PRC pack that includes his Eldritch Glaive.
See the included readme for instruction on how to install this and on how to update this for use with any newer version of Kaedrin's PRC pack.
IMPORTANT!
If you use Kaedrin's pack with this and are experiencing bugs with the eldritch glaive: don't bug Kaedrin about it, go to me first. When I have made sure the problem isn't in my stuff; you can go and make Kaedrin's life miserable.
If have any tips on how I can improve this, please tell me.

Updated for use with Kaedrin's v1.404 and Drammels ToB v1.142
This now uses spear model #7 from Feydakin's weapon pack: Link as the glaive model.
I've also updated the script to use the SetWeaponVisibility function so the animation and VFX now always play instead of if you didn't have a weapon equiped.

New version; I gave up on getting the unequip to work the way I want so this no longer unequips anything.
If you have no weapon, or just a shield equiped: my animation and VFX plays.
If you have a weapon equiped: Kaedrin's standard animation and VFX plays.
Also; I added VFX's for Brimstone, Hellrime and Vitrolic essences.
Notes:
-The animations used are the 4 attacks with the O2hs stance. This won't work for any race that uses non-standard OEI skeletons.
Credits:
Kaedrin wrote the Eldritch Glaive script.
Feydakin made the glaive model.
NTB- That would be very easy to do looking at Ray's script here. Finesse is already taken care of in mine. _________________________ Mastery is the final form of madness.
@saralach: Go ahead.
@BenRGamer & nicethugbert: it looks like Kaedrin is going to include it his pack. So any comments about changes you like about it might be better directed at him (just remember to ask nicely).
I'm probably going to place a big 'discontinued' in the description.

NEAT!
I do agree that the description of EG does state that it is weightless. So I do think it should be finessable and usable one handed with shield. _________________________ NTB's Hills and Valleys Vol. 00
-Kunikos; my computer can barely run NWN2. If I dare to download FRAPS, I'm pretty sure the poor machine will rise up and strangle me in my sleep. So no.
I know the description of EG doesn't specify that it is wielded like a glaive, only that you make a "melee touch attack as if wielding a reach weapon."
However; it also says: "Your eldritch blast takes on physical substance, appearing similar to a glaive."
So I though 'if it apears like a glaive, why not swing it like one?' Also, I'm having trouble picturing anyone attacking with a glaive (a large polearm weapon as already stated) just one handed, weightless or not.
The Eldritch Glaive is a polearm-shaped energy weapon that the Warlock can wield one-handed because it is weightless.

Well technically the word Glaive is a type of weapon a Polearm type if I'm not mistaken so he probably though if it's gonna be named after a weapon to make it look like it. Which I'm all for actually....think it looks amazing now. _________________________ Darkness Take you!
I don't know about this. Eldritch Glaive isn't really a weapon, and isn't swung like one. And it definitely shouldn't take the place of the equipment you are already carrying. It's more like a sharp energy blast. I think you achieved what you were going for, but I think it falls short of what the skill actually does.
I don't suppose you could use Xfire or FRAPS to make a video and put it on YouTube or something?

This unequips your shield so you can look good? Live fast die young leave a beautiful corpse, eh? _________________________ NTB's Hills and Valleys Vol. 00
