Help HOW TO CREATER MY OWN ABNORMAL EFFECT???

[VegaBoy]

Recently I found some pretty cool npc effects that would add to the character.

I would like to know which programs to use and how to create my own abnormal effects, using the ones from the npcs I found?

Can't remember if that's possible or not, as far as i remember abnormal effects like Vitality and stuff like that are hardcoded, so you can't 'add' new ones, you can just replace existing ones if you can recompile lineageeffect/lineageskilleffect for your client, that's how i managed to change stuff like Bleed, Vitality, etc. 

we also tried to use that to make enchant armor effects, but ended up switching to another alternative.

otherwise, if your client supports Agathions and you don't use them at all, you can create invisible agations with an effect attached to them, then you can have as many 'abnormal' effects as you want (on players)

In addition to this one, this can only work on H5++ clients where NAgathion class contains the chest bone as attach location. "take a look on zaken swords agathion".
I don't know if you can do it on older clients by completely repositioning the effect's location.

Forgot to mention. I use the Gracia Final client. That's exactly what I would like to do, not create, but be able to manipulate the existing ones and change to some that I found inside lineageeffects.u. Like the glow of raid bosses.

You mentioned recompiling the files, but I don't even know where to start. Any direction?

I use Gracia Final client. I use L2Pride Packs. Is this possible on this client?

Everything's possible depends on the time/money you have to invest for it.
But for sure it's not something easy to do on clients lower than H5 because there's not enough client support.

It's not as hard as everyone says, it's just that there are no guides whatsoever. You'll need to learn how .u files work, how to extract scripts from .u files, how to fix errors on .uc scripts, etc etc etc
i suggest you start here:

https://wiki.beyondunreal.com/Commandlet
https://wiki.beyondunreal.com/Legacy:Compiling_With_UCC
you'll also need to get L2Editor and probably UE Explorer

https://github.com/UE-Explorer/UE-Explorer
 

There are also some guides about how to recompile LineageSkillEffects.u and stuff like that

(you'll need to get some files from those guides as well)

overall it's not worth learning it if you're only planning to change 2 o 3 abnormal effects, in that case i'd suggest you to ask @NevesOma to do it for you (for a price of course)
 

though if you spend some time learning this you'll be able to do stuff like porting skills from higher clients to any lower client, change abnormal effects, create your own weapon effects, soulshot/spiritshot effects, or even create your own skill effects. I.E.:

i'm planning to do a bunch of guides later, when i have time, and if i feel like it.

If you have doubts just ask away

You just gave me an incredible north! I'm going to go deeper into the subject and whenever I have questions I won't hesitate to ask! Thank you!
