Changing spell particle effects

[azxten]

I've been reverse engineering the spellsnew.edd file to figure out what each part of a spell actually does. It hasn't been easy.

I decided to try my luck and E-mailed about 5 artists who worked on EverQuest before before and after the spell changes were made. Hopefully one of them is feeling generous and will explain something to me but I doubt it.

Allen Bond is my one true hope for an explanation.

What are your main duties on EverQuest?

Building zones, textures, objects, particle effects.

However, I believe he is still employed with Sony and working on EverQuest. In fact, I couldn't find his contact information so I just used the standard soe.sony.com E-mail address format and I didn't get a return message.

I'm stalking EverQuest artists for information on how to reverse engineer the files they made.. unbelievable.
