Request for spell casting mod.

So I've looked around and messed around a little bit, but I am absolutely unable to do this myself. I also have been unable to find it already done anywhere.

I'd like to have white mage spell casting (I'd love to have it for all races, but at least hume M) look like Blm spell casting. I'm making a movie and .dat swapping is pretty much what I do for special effects.

So anyway, if thats not too hard to do, I'd love you forever if you could get that to me! Thanks guys. :D

Edit... If anyone feels like making /sit look like dying, that would be awesome too. <3
If not... I have no real problem with killing off my friends in the name of art. XD

Re: Request for spell casting mod.

This is actually a really nice tool, I like it a lot, thank you! Makes things much easier on me. But its not quite what I'm looking for (unless I'm missing something, which is entirely possible).

This changes the animation of the spell itself (I could do that already, but this is much much easier, thank you again!), what I would like is to be able to change the casting animation itself.

Instead of standing around raising bubbles up out of the ground, I'd like to stand around looking like I was casting a black mage spell. You know. Do away with the bubbles entirely.

If I've missed something in this tool (I'm still looking around), please feel free to point it out to me... I don't mind admitting I've made a mistake. :D

Well hmph. I can't post URLs. Anyway, thanks to a thread I dug up on this site this morn, I figured out how to do it. Was trial and error... I managed to smash myself into about the size of a snoll ( lol ), but once I figured out how to read hex, it was cake. ^^

Thanks guys! :D
------------------------------------------
I wish I would think of everything I had to say all at once. >.<

If anybody would like me to post the .dats with Blm and Whm casting animations swapped, I'd be happy to. ^^ Its my first time actually editing something like that and I'm rather proud of myself. ^^

Re: Request for spell casting mod.

The charge-up animation usually remains the same. Only the casting animation (the one where the spell goes off) actually changes when you swap spells as fer as I know.

If you use Altanaview to view spells you'll see the file path at the bottom of the screen and you can do it manually without much trial and error as when you use Spell Swapper most of the time. Mind you, Spell Swapper is nice, but with really uber special effects (like most Cutscene ones) Altanaview is usually what you're looking for so you won't have to guess when in doubt.
