I'm trying to make a new ribbontrail like sprint for rogues except rainbow colored. I don't know where to start and I've found no useful information on converting the ribbontrail.m2 file to something useful or whether or not the .skin file is relevant. Does anyone have any idea?

Does anyone have any idea?Open the model with 010editor and run the m2 template.Just edit the texture name and put the one with the rainbow. If you want to edit the ribbon texture id just go to the ribbon struct and change the "VTextures" id, but that's not necessary.Check how my Whimsyshire Cloud mount works.
How do I make the name of the texture longer in 010 editor? It doesn't count it in it's name?
That helps a lot thanks.One more question. I tried changing every texture to a different color for fireball but it's still orange and I'm not sure where it's coming from?
Green boxes are 99% of the time missing textures. You may have misspelled a filename.
It's weird though. I cast it once and the precast and cast are fine but the missile is a green box, then I cast it again and the missile is fine but the cast is a green box? Then I casted it again and it all worked fine. All of the textures are there.
Do I need to change the struct filename_ModelName as well?

Is the texture square or rectangular?Quote from: Kobiesan on December 18, 2017, 08:18:01 pmDo I need to change the struct filename_ModelName as well?That's not necessary.
So, I did power word: shield and I am 100% positive I am not missing any textures yet the green box thing still occurred. I logged out and back in and it was gone?
