i wanted to change Blade Spirit into a manticore with a blade whirl aura
i thought i could just go into the blade spirit table and change the relevant mesh/shader/model lines

but sadly this doesn’t work for Blade Spirit
applied the same change to both base, gdx1 and gdx2 bladeswarm_a tables “just to be sure”, and nothing changed ingame, as if there’s another thingy governing the actual blade spirit entity visuals

what/where do i need to edit in my manticore stuff to turn spirit into a kitty?
thank you :pray:

And my LEVEL 1 Blade Spirit is a full-fledged moving and attacking manticore:

ye it doesn’t work for me, even adding all the extra lines you did changes nothing for me
i can swap the nemesis relic kitty visuals to deathstalker easily enough, but for whatever reason making those changes just wont affect my blade spirit :confused:
i’ve no clue what goes wrong or which step might be messed up, table wise they are identical

… :confounded:
nvm :flushed:
i was building wrong, so the file i was using wasn’t actually the modified…
:man_facepalming:

black kitty with dark blades aura from blade barrier
