[Q] Remove / edit skill soul effects client side. Possible? How?

[DeusEx]

Hi guys.
Im curious to find out how to get rid of these horrible flashy skill souls. They do look pretty but in crowded areas they can completely ruin my FPS.
Ive done a bit of digging in the co directory but I cant seem to spot the files responsible for these effects.

Any pointers on what files to edit if its even possible?
Also what program should I best use to make them less intrusive?

Thanks in advance.

I'm pretty sure it's in MagicEffect.ini. I just took a quick look, searched for Toxic Fog, and found this entry:

[60010]
Name=ToxicFog
Name1=WatermelonBomb
Name2=FatalPoison
ActOfAttacker=905
ClientRepresent=3
DelayOfTarget3DEffect=800

TraceEffectDelay=300

Role3DEffectOfAffectTarget=poisonblast.tme
Role3DEffectOfAttaker=poisoncast
Role3DEffectOfTarget=poisonattack
Role3DEffectOfTargetMiss=poisonblast.tme
SoundOfAttacker=sound\Ninjamagic-04A.wav
TerrainEffect=poisonblast.tme
TerrainEffect1=poisonblast_coat01.TME
TerrainEffect2=poisonblast_coat02.TME
TraceEffect=poisonfog01
TraceEffectSpeed=1

So, change the two skill soul terrain effects to the original terrain effect of Toxic Fog like this:

[60010]
Name=ToxicFog
Name1=WatermelonBomb
Name2=FatalPoison
ActOfAttacker=905
ClientRepresent=3
DelayOfTarget3DEffect=800
SortOfAct=27
TraceEffectAcceleration=20
TraceEffectDelay=300
TargetType=4
WoundDelayOfTarget=800
Xp=2
Status=145
Desc=Upgradable~at~Level~70
DescEx=Poisons~targets~within~4~spaces,~reducing~1 0%~of~their~current~HP~within~1~minute.~Cost:~35~S tamina.~The~wider~the~BP~difference~between~the~ca ster~and~the~target,~the~lower~the~accuracy.~Ineff ective~when~the~target`s~HP~reaches~1.
Role3DEffectOfAffectTarget=poisonblast.tme
Role3DEffectOfAttaker=poisoncast
Role3DEffectOfTarget=poisonattack
Role3DEffectOfTargetMiss=poisonblast.tme
SoundOfAttacker=sound\Ninjamagic-04A.wav
TerrainEffect=poisonblast.tme # <-- Original Toxic Fog effect
TerrainEffect1=poisonblast.tme
TerrainEffect2=poisonblast.tme
TraceEffect=poisonfog01
TraceEffectSpeed=1

I think that would work.

Thanks, Ill try and report how it went

Edit:

DescEx=Equip~a~sword~or~Trojan~Epic~Weapon~to~cast .~Attack~all~targets~within~8~paces~in~a~row.~Caus e~130%~damage~on~each~target.~Cost:~20~Stamina.

TerrainEffect2=sword-l_coat01_5.tme
TerrainEffect3=sword-l_coat03_3.tme


to following

Role3DEffectOfTargetMiss=swordrain8.tme
TerrainEffect=swordrain8.tme
TerrainEffect1=swordrain8.tme
TerrainEffect2=swordrain8.tme
TerrainEffect3=swordrain8.tme

This Makes all Scent Sword skill souls look like the regular SS.

Thanks for your help!

Does someone got banned/botjailed for removing effects? I want to know because i want to remove some of them for less laggy gameplay.
