I wanted to try to edit the effects that glows behind items, u know what I mean? like the red thunder behind a super item, purple behind elite...etc

but I haven't found the files of these effects, so anyone knows where they are?

alright I kinda found something, I could make the super items have a blue glowing background, and I can change it to red,purple,blue,cyan,yellow (like meteors) and gold which idk what items had it

in "ani" folder there's a file named "effects" when u open it by NoteBook you find this:

I tried to change the [FireLight] directories to Data/Pic/BlueLight/.. and when I logged all the super items had a blue (Unique) lights behind them

but unfortunatelly those directories do not exist (Data\Pic\YellowLight) and all the others..there's not any of these folders inside Data/Pic/

so I've failed to find the dds files of these "Lights"

all I want to do is to make a normal item have a glowing background

so any ideas?

That's because they are packed in wdf files. Either extract them (VERY large to extract everything) or simply use other effects already extracted. The client will default to any files un-extracted so adding those directories and adding in effects will overwrite whatever the default glow is.

well, first of all, how to extract wdf files?

and btw, can u please tell me how to make an item (CleanWater for example) have a super glow behind.. step by step plz? lol

I'm kinda noob in these things

use the wdf extractor released on the forum? A quick search will find it easily enough.

As for qualities, I assume you mean the glow they have in the inventory? I assume it's just some simple itemtype/ini folder edits. Try searching through the client or the forum and I'm sure you can figure it out.

well, it's not in the itemtype.dat file, because I've tried to copy the whole line of the DB, and paste it over the line of the Clean Water
it changed the name, the name color, and all detailes (price, description..etc)

but not the purple glowing behind the item

and I did extract both c3.wdf and data.wdf and found the 6 folders of qualities glow (FireLight, RedLight....etc)

now what to do to make the Clean Water have a FireLight for example?
