WeapFX – Element-Light for Weapons

NORBYTES SCRIPT EXTENDER IS REQUIRED:
https://github.com/Norbyte/ositools/releases

This mod will add lights colours to elemental weapons effect that match that type.

Element and Light colors:
Fire: Orange-ish
Air: Purple-ish
Earth: White (Other colors don’t play nice..)
Poison: Green
Water: Blue

Sadly does not affect Bows or Crossbows 🙁

This mod pairs well with my "No Player Light"

Using these two together, you can see the light effect of weapons better in darker areas. it looks neat 🙂

Q: Does this affect FPS?
A: Not a lot, but my PC is a beast so testing is a bit limited. Poorer rigs will likely notice an -some- impact but i dont think many will notice any performance impact.

Q: Can i enable mid-playthorugh and/or disable mid-playthrough?
A: Yes. All this does is modify visual effects, no game-data will be modified.

Q: Is this compatible with X mod or Y mod?
A: Yes, very likely and very highly compatible. I don’t know of any mods that modify these effects. There may be some, but i don’t know of any.
For maximum compatibility, load this before any weapon or effect mods so they over-write this mod, but you may lose the light effect.

Q: Can you add X or change Y or make Z?
A: I’m happy to consider suggestions or changes or improvements, etc. There may be more optimal or better ways to do what i have done with this mod, it’s not perfect.

Q: Why does this weapon look weird when i move? (Brighter)
A: This mod was made with effects that don’t scale well across all weapons. Some look a bit different because the effects cannot be scaled (or i don’t know how to do it) for specific weapon-types. It’s a one-shoe-for-all approach.

Q: How did you make this?
A: Went to the weapon effect, and added to the ‘sparkle’ effect in each one, a custom-made light attached to the ‘Attached FX’ variable.

Q: What effects does this modify?
A: RS3_FX_Items_Weapons_DamageType_[ELEMENT]_01_Lvl0[X]
[ELEMENT] = Fire, Water, air, etc. [X] = A number between 1 and 5

Example:
RS3_FX_Items_Weapons_DamageType_Fire_01_Lvl03

Q: What Light does this use?
A: RS3_FX_LTS_Candle_F_01 – I just copied this one multiple times and customised each light for each element.

1) Occasionally on loading a game or quickly-swapping weapons, the lights concentrate around the hands. Just re-holster and un-holster to make it normal again. I may have a fix soon. – SOLVED.

LaughingLeader for his continued and immense efforts and work modding this game.
Norbyte for Script extender.
rfuzzo for helping with the script needed to hook-into script extender. (Seriously, this mod either wouldnt exist or would have come a lot later without his help.)
The Larian, LaughingLeader and DivinityUnleashed discord channels and individuals that helped me along the way with this. Thanks guys, couldn’t have done this without your help, support and guidance.

I love modding this game and look forward to making a few more quality mods for the game and the community who enjoy it.

Cheers everyone.
