It's not normally possible. It is, however, doable with certain NPC models such as is present in the modified avatar models that were edited to remove the heat haze effect... Unfortunately this is not transferable to 'normal' equipment, and I was unable to make any further progress. It seems to be something that is present in the top-level header that determines which alpha effect is used (transparency, shine, translucency).

The blocking on the dark part of the pants is something that is unfortunately present in the original model but much more apparent on something red, so that would have to be traced with an airbrush or something on a new layer to be fixed.

In the bmp for the dat, the color transition is very smooth, it's a result of the bmp being stretched that creates the blockyness - thats what I think anyway, no matter what I do it looks like that.

Let me take a look at it then, I might be able to come up with something.

It seems I misread what you were trying to do, but want these anyway?

**Mooshywooshy** · 2012-04-26 04:01

Good news~
Apparently the new effect weights (for spear at least) follow the spear specifically (as opposed to sword which does some weird stuff) so we can have constant effects again (a la Elemental Staves+2) only semi-officially

Moosh any way you could port those new FF14 expanding brick fists over to ffxi , glowing and all?

**Mooshywooshy** · 2012-04-26 04:55

The whole growing thing (along with all the other in/out motions of FFXIV weapons) is gonna be pretty much impossible in FFXI

In XIV they have more bones to use for animations so they can add things like that. I did figure out how to add bones to FFXI skeletons a while back but I couldnt get them to animate for some reason (I think an issue with VRS) so I'd have to say no :\
I mean one could probably make a brick and put glowing effects on it though lul
If there was a way to create model data for effects I could make a kinda faked version of it, but I dont think thats possible without official software

Hey Mooshy, did you see this?

Apparently this will be the prize from the new Vana'Fest.

**Byrthnoth** · 2012-04-26 16:35

Come on now. I refuse to believe they independently reached the same "a full body moogle suit would be awesome!" conclusion within a few weeks of Mooshy.

Pretty much my conclusion as well. I think Mooshy either has a fan or a stalker in the FFXI graphics department.

And since they seem to be fond of your ideas Mooshy, any chance that you could whip up a Galka Thong?

**Mooshywooshy** · 2012-04-26 17:57

Damn... If I knew they were gonna jack my brain waves I would have stuck to my plan of completely rehauling drg into moogle knight.
Oh well, cool none the less! Look forward to seeing moogle alliances take stuff down!

So anyway, Galka Thongs...

You know, that sounds really awesome.

**Byrthnoth** · 2012-04-27 01:55

Shit, that would be pretty manly too. Ripping off a goblin's head, taking the mask, and wearing it around as a dongholder. You savage!

**Mooshywooshy** · 2012-04-27 05:14

Quick Question:
are there currently any Great Axes/Wands/Clubs/Katana/or H2H weapons that have glow effects on the weapons themselves when you enter battle?

**Vlorsutes** · 2012-04-27 14:43

Though they've not been found in-game yet that I'm aware of (likely high-end Legion drops), the weapons Girru and Ikarigiri appear to. Ikarigiri in particular has been shown from Spira's .dat mining as having a wind-esque aura around it, but the hand-to-hand wasn't found. However, given the stats on it and the stats of a similar "nq" hand-to-hand in the files, it fits the pattern.
