Fire explosion overlay dcc

Post by error » Sat Aug 05, 2017 9:13 am

Sadly I run out of ideas how to find it:
I am looking for the dcc which pops up if something with fire hit the player or monster, i.e. after a firebolt or fireball hit mosters, a little flame pops up at the monsters. I want to modify this effect. Anyone knows which one it is?

thank you Ogodei, but I already tried this one. It looks like the same effect, but when I replace it with something else it does not change it ingame...
doing it like this with i.e. monsters worked perfectly.

edit: just figured out a really dirty workaround: changing the dcc file of fire_hit in overlay.txt to a different one and replacing this one. no idea why this works and not my original plan. (actually I was looking for a way to do this for several months on and off now, and now a few hours after I posted this I figured it out ;))

Fire_Hit is a prog overlay and is used in missiles.txt, you could also change it there but then you would have to edit every line were it pops up.

thank you for your reply. sadly I do not understand it. Do you mean changing the etype of the missiles to something else and modify this overlay?
