EQG Weapon Model Import v1.0 (now with particles)

[Zaela_S]

I was reminded that someone told me particles can be attached to NPC models. So this tool can now do that, with a drop down of potential attachment points (model bones + attach_to_origin). A model's spell particle attachment points (when they cast or are hit by spells) also seem to be equivalent to weapon particle points, just with special identifying names:



Attaching permanent particles to them works fine ;p



Downside, of course, is that it only works for .eqg-based models, stuff in the 400+ race id range.

It should work with normal models as nimbuses can be attached to s3d models if you reference the actor tag directly (_ACTORDEF)

They are just different types of bodies; I can't remember the name of them right now but I'll post later

If anyone is curious as to some of the potential behind particle manipulation you can see some of the work I have done here: http://www.thehiddenforest.org/viewt...hp?f=4&t=10557

Granted a lot of these are custom made particles, but we are in the process of getting those all figured out and editable as well

Yellow aura or red aura for the super saiyan or kaioken rats. This looks awesome seeing particle effects on mobs reminds me of EQ2, but w/o plastic looking 3D models combined with a game engine which runs like cold molasses!
