Unzip the folder and place each file into your main EQ installation location folder.

Im not even a caster, but want to thank you for tackling this project.

I agree with most people here - not a fan of the new Luclin character models, but sprucing up the classic graphics with higher res textures and effects breathes new life into EQ and makes it a lot easier on the eyes!

Thanks again!

Thanks man.

Do any of you guys have any ideas for what I should make spells look like?

I don't really have any plans for root, because it shares a graphic with celerity, so I am thinking something kind of nondescript and fancy. We'll see...

However, I'm open to ideas for:

*Stun
*Lifetap
*Splurt
*Color Flux
*Shielding
*Spirit of Wolf
*Rain AoE
*Journeyman Boots
*Harvest
*Teleport
*See Invis
*Gate/Invis
*Poison
*Blind
*Clarity

I'm not sure what else I'm missing. I will probably leave Bard songs alone for now.

Stun - concentric rings of white light emanating outwards
Life tap - green tentacles
Splurt - can you do a mouth-centered graphic? Or maybe crotch area? JK
Color flux - expanding balls of various colors ( see splurt? )
Clarity - a fog of gentle blue light descending

[Telin]

Clarity - light blue particles flowing outward from casters head and particles flowing inward toward targets head.

Haha Telin! You're visiting the dark side here.

teleport I would think some kind of cooler dimensional pocket effect would be nice. I like the tentacles for lifetap, id imagine that would carry over to the dot spells that use the same effect now eh? Like ignite blood and such.

all of fadetrees suggestions sound good.imo. Splut uses the same effect and the bond of death line of dots doesnt it? I can't remember.

Jboots some cool little wings or something coming from the feet? little boots with wings? lol

i like how harvest is now, last i checked my wizard was covered in a bright whitish orb that exploded.

meh, im not very artistic/creative :-/

[criddopher]

the engulfing darkness line of spells would be cool if it was something like a black misty cloud effect..

bond of death (tap over time) line perhaps a bleeding heart type of thing?

assuming these lines can be changed or whatever. I have no idea the limitations to what youre doing

Hey man, I was toying around with life tap, but came up with some kind of effect that makes the target squirt blood, then decided it would be cool to have blood collect around the caster and fall inward on him. I think I'll use this effect for splurt. I'll try to post a graphic pretty soon when I finalize it.
