I have played around with editing the spellsnew files myself; however, they still use the .dds spell particle images that aren't exactly classic like these examples.
When you load the spellsnew files on EQMac, the healing spell looks like it does on this server, and same for the buff spell, except that the particles flow correctly from the hands. The blue particles never come out of hands from buffs, and the healing effect is missing a ton of particles.

The GMs were informed of this bug and haven't fixed it. It's been broken for years, which leads me to believe the info for these animations may have been removed or overwritten in the titanium files. During this version of the game they were converting to the new spell particle system (which didn't all happen at once, I believe they changed the Cleric Virtue spell line first to some glowy blobs). You can see some of new spell animations in the spellsnew files that come with titanium. Some of them look like they were never implemented for any spell.

This is how i remember them on live when i played from 2000-2002. These particle effects are soo amazing! I would be so happy if a patch or a download could be done to bring all the spell particles to classic. It is simply the only way to go in my book! Keep up the good work, hopefully the more program savvy individuals can work this out! It would surely bring joy to hundreds of players. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
