EDIT: Here are quick links for the fire and ice versions of Tornado. In the future, I will keep this first post edited as necessary to include any more special animations that I choose to upload.

lol same like me, totally messed up.. always playing with graphic-files when I'm bored

Oh, I didn't mess up though. I purposely Photoshopped out what my character and the tao zapping my guard looks like. I do love how Tornado looks though. And I have it defined too. Elementary is just the straight fire bolt. LV. 1 has the swirly things come off of it instead of the sparks. LV. 2 has fire rings come down like normal LV. 2 Nado. And fixed has that ring above it that you see.

Not bad for my first attempt. Coming soon, black fastblade and custom armor colors.

For anyone wanting to know how to do it, or to get these effects, I will post up the zip files soon with all the stuff you need to have the same cool effects, and if I can get some time then I'll definitely make a tutorial so everyone out there can play around with this for themselves.

Alright, here is what you need and what you need to know to use this:


1. Download either thor(ice).zip or thor(fire).zip (Depending on if you want the firey looking one or the ice/windy looking one.
2. Open up your Effect folder, usually it's: "C:\Program Files\Conquer 1.0\c3\Effect".
3. Find the folder called "thor" and make a back up copy of it somewhere safely on your computer.
4. Now unzip the .zip file you had downloaded, and make sure it's a folder with the same name as the one you just took out (thor) and put it in the Effect folder.
5. Start Conquer and enjoy.

If you have any questions or comments, feel free to PM me.
