Two things I'd like to kind of throw out there.

I don't know about other people, but I'm wondering if there are any plans to implement the "less obtrusive spell effects" from the vault or something like it. Yes, it's sometimes nice to see physical proof of the fact that another player has a giant pile of buffs on... but on the other hand, people inside giant gerbil-balls can be distracting, especially when they stand near you and you're trying to pay attention to other things on the screen, especially while zoomed in. Just a thought, but it's a relatively easy thing to implement in a hak.

Secondly, casting light. This is more of a hint for the other players out there, but having the light-ball over your head as you walk around is not necessarily a bad thing while exploring a dungeon, but can be distracting at best in the city. Thankfully, there is a way around this, albeit it seems one that few people know. When you cast your light spell, cast it on the inventory window on something your character is either holding (weapon or shield) or wearing. This will give the same light effect, but the actual light-ball will not appear. On the other hand... if you like the light ball, plese feel free to disregard this! :D

Well, I use the less obstrusive spells. The files can be found inside their own folder inside the override folder.

Dedi, just download the override itself and put it in override folder, same works for any other overrides you would like to use, like lessened on hit/weapon effects and such.

just have to be in their own folders in "override" folder to work, as in "/override/buffs" or something

Interesting, considering that in the downloads section it says that overrides are disabled on the player side, so assuming yet again...

Thanks for the info guys!

They are, it's just that the obsidian disabling don't work very well ;P
