2 type of chain textures which can be replaced with any lighnting effect path.

ex:
ReplaceableTextures\Weather\Lariatcaught.blp
ReplaceableTextures\Weather\Drainlightning.blp
ReplaceableTextures\Weather\lightningspirit.blp

Note:the lighning effect look different if you skin on different path.

Sweet effect.
EDIT: Why is this in the graveyard?

Probably because they aren't section for lightning textures or perhaps i directly submit it to the graveyard without intentionally

If anything, it would be in skins or icons/interface part of the textures section... so maybe you submitted it in the graveyard xD

Why overwrite another lightning, when you can just add an extra? Looks fine anyways :).

That might be a good topic for a tutorial actually (if there isn't already one).

I was going to make one but I don't know if it works correctly in multiplayer ...

There do be a tutorial for custom lightnings.

@Vex - Custom lightnings work in mp, or at least should. Dunno about the effects of goofing with the SLKs is though if thats what you mean(in reference to games played AFTER you use custom lightning)

that's mostly what I mean, you really can't have control on what players play before or after your map.

True enough, we need this tested to make sure it doesn't explode later games like some SLKs are wont to do.

Anyway, since my previous post was totally unrelated to the actual resource....nicely done, chains are cool and we don't have much(or anything?) in the way of custom lightning.
