Hey everyone!
I was extracting the (race)abilityfunc.txt files from the .mpq, and I was wondering, for some abilities, like say, Aerial Shackles, which have a missle graphic but do not have a category for it listed in the .txt file, can I simple add "missleart=(whatever)" or something along those lines to change it? Or is the missle hard coded into the spell? Just wondering, thanks!

(Also, does anyone know the name for the red lightning used for Finger of Death, ect.? I can't find it's missle graphic anywhere and its driving me crazy!)

The aerial shackles and finger of death art are both specified in Splats/lightningdata.slk. Finger of Death's art cannot be changed, though.

Blah, so Aerial Shackles' art stays the same then? Alright, thanks.

In many cases, you *can* add lines in to the txt files. I just added a caster art for frost nova, for example, about 10 minutes ago. Missiles are different, I suspect though, because not all spells have the "logic" of being missiles. Can't hurt to try, though. Worst that happens is you waste, what, 15 minutes?
