Spell Effects

Hi all, do you know if there is a Warcraft III file (such as Misc.txt) where I can find the vertex colors of some spell effects/buffs (for example banish [slightly green and transparent], animate dead [the unit is quite red], chill [a unit becomes blue]) and so on? Thank you very much.

P.S: I always have a unanswered question: is there a way to get a unit's vertex colors to save them in a variable to restore them later? Thanks.

Well to the first question, use wc3viewer or some other MPQ browser and just extract whatever special effect .mdx you want to screw with. Use the objecct editor for the path if need be.
Some also use skins, those requires skins can be viewed using Mago's editor or by converting to .mdl and reading the upper portion of the code.

And my initial belief for the second question is no.
I've never played with it, but I've also never encountered it in my travels.

Maybe I was not very clear, but I just want to know if there is a file that contains the Vertex Colors (RGB Values) for the units affected by Chill, Banish or Animate Dead; they should be integer from 0 to 255.

As I foreseen :)
