Help Skill Visual Animation

[`iAndre]

I would like to know how can i change the visual animation of a class skill to an raidboss or a monster skill ?
Just the animation nothing else. I couldn't find a guide but if you know any guides (from other forums too) leave a reply with it below.

Thanks in advance.
 

[puredemonsss]

do you mean changing for example the animation from battle heal to another skill ?

like an monster skill animation to you skill ?

something like that?

[`iAndre]

yes

[`iAndre]

up

[puredemonsss]

yes

ok so this 1 is not so complicated i tink XD

you need to open Skillgrp.dat and you will need to change this line for example . . .

 

Warp skill example from Kamael that i use in my l2jserver h5

628    1    1    0    0    4294967295    0    0.10000000    1    L2    524    icon.skill5662        0    0    0    a,none\0    0    -1    11    0    a,none\0

the L2 is the animation of the char itself like when you buff yourself with a dance the char starts to dance so it's a phisical animation

the L2 i tink is for doing nothing, the char will not make any animation -> look at other skills and see wath the char is doing and change from that

next is 524 wich is the animation of skill or you can say effect of the skill like for example when you use blink, an aura animates arownd your char for 1 sec

 

now there are some sklls that require's a scpecific animation character Like L2 (wich in this case is doing nothing i tink XD) + animation of skill like 524 to show the corect full animation, some of them may show only a part of he effect XD

 

ok ill try make another post coz i'm tired zzZ XD ill explain better i hope

 

sory bad english :(

sory bad english :(

 

so let's try again hopefully better this time and even ill make a tutorial on this forum XD

so first wee open Skillgrp.dat

ill give an example with my custom skill Warp from Kamael

wath i have discovred i hope they are corect coz some of them works for me :)

so folow the marks

36102    *1    *2    0    *3    *4    0    *5    *6    *7    *8    icon.skill1448        0    0    *9    a,none\0    0    -1    11    0    a,none\0

*1   skill lvl
*2   when you open the skills panel they are clasified by
       0 is physic , 1 is magic , 2 is reinforcement , 3 is weakening , 4 is nobless , 5 is item , 6 is togle , 7 is transform , 8,9,10,11,12,13 passive unknown tabs or i say forgot the names XD
*3   mp cost
*4   range
*5   hittime , cast time , 3.00000000 is 3 seconds , pls use all the zeros or it might not work
*6   this i tink is for if is magic skill like for example wath to use like bss->blessed spirit shots or ss->soul shots
       if an skill is set in server to use ss and in client will be set to bss , well will be a mess of effects trust me
       remember to set correctly
*7   different annimation for char manifest , can be different for using different weapons
       if i am correct the code U will show for an female kamael with arbalet the animation from Death Roullete skill
       while the code L2 will do nothing i tink and i ddn't stay to test it long to know precise
*8   the annimation skill effect, i curently use 1412 wich is from another skill try to change it an use the skill, is aweasome :P
*9   hp cost

 

if you want i can make you the customs you like ill give a try and se if wath i found is realy the thing XD

post some skills that you want to change

example

Death Spike animation change to Battle Heal

something like that

if i can ill make it hopefully XD

 

hopefully some1 will quote with other finds coz i realy don't know them all XD

As you can see skillgrp of interlude it's different ..  :/

[`iAndre]

I think the 9th column is the one that i have to modify about the visual animation ..

[DoomeD]

1 ] copy the skill with the animation that you like

2 ] copy the skill with the animation that you want to change

3 ] change the id of the skill with the animation that you like

4 ] change the icon.skillXXXX of the skill with the animation that you like with the icon.skilXXXX of the skill that you want to look like

5 ] DONE

there are skills that don't have animation at all coz  the animation of char wich is S , myght be all is needed or is done this way

plus there is a desc betwen ani_char and extra_eff that is empty, it myght be no effect

try see other skills wath they have

try inport code by code and test

if you do like others do

copy @ paste

you will never learn

 

ps: when you do copy @ paste pls try analize wath you are doing and make small changes to se wath has hapened

 

pls post all your skillgrp.dat

coz i cant analize only that the skills are different level and consume more mp

sory i don't have Interlude

Thanks a lot ..  that's the sollution but there is only one thing you need to notice.

If desc is empty then there will NOT be any visual effect. You can use only effects from skills that desc is not empty.

[puredemonsss]

i'm glad it worked XD

 

ask ncsoft why some skills use same animations or only char animation XD

or is that you use custom system don't know but

your notice now can determine you to add wath you want :P from others skills
