How to change the way auras look?

[Kurohito]

Hello all!

I want to change the way some auras look. Some stuff I want to make disappear (Maiven’s Sphere), and some, switch (Star Pact to Reckless Power). From what I researched, there’s something related to fx files? Can’t find any details though…

Can someone help me?

Thank you!

Find the skills DBR ( Database tab = Records/Skills/Playerclass0X etc ) and in the “Skill Effects” tab delete or replace the spells current aura FX. I replaced most of mine and you can do some really cool stuff. Hope it helps.

Thanks for the reply!

On my computer, on the database folder there’s database.arz and templates.arc. Is that it?

Oh, could I also change the way Fire Strike looks? I just want the normal shot animation.

Alright, Go into your Grim Dawn folder and open up the Asset manager,
Go to “Tools” and “Extract Game Files” Find out where your Grim Dawn folder is and hit OK. Let it do its job until the asset manager tells you it’s finished.

Once its done click on " Mod " and name it lets say…“Kurohito’s Aura Mod”
If you go back to the steps in my 1st message you will now see normal versions of the database and template folders ( Aka “Records” instead of Database ) You can just import the files you want to change into your mod and go from there.

Make sure the paths to you imported files are right. EXP: Records/Skills/playerclass02/Firestrike1.dbr. You can’t just import Firestrike1.dbr and hope it works. ( Records/Firestrike1.dbr ) <----Wrong.

After you are done with your changes, Push F7 to build your mod. Once its done go in-game and pick custom you will see your mod there. Cleary I am not the world’s best at teaching stuff so let me know if you got problems etc

Yes you can, Its quite easy to understand how once you play around with projectiles etc but what your asking is not hard.

Thanks again for the reply! Still didn’t find time to try make it happen. I’m wondering if I can make stuff invisible. Like Storm Spread, make it one single blue shot. If possible, the other shoots would still do damage, even though invisible?

Now that I don’t know, Maybe someone does?
