Weapon Attack Graphic - any easy(ier) way to change it?

Hello, there, guys.

I'm trying to finish up this small mod I'm making for WotL (as already described here), and one of the things I wanted to do is edit the graphic that shows when a character attacks using a Materia Blade. I don't want to use a custom graphic, mind you, I just wanted to make the game use another inbuilt graphic.

Now, I've read these topics:

http://ffhacktics.com/smf/index.php?topic=296.msg4873#msg4873
http://ffhacktics.com/smf/index.php?topic=1483.0

But I couldn't really understand what to do. I extracted a battle.bin from my .iso, but when I look it up using a Hex Editor (I tried using Notepad++ with a hex addon, but ended up using WindHex, found somewhere else in these forums), the offset pointed by Vanya doesn't really match what he said... IF I understood correctly what he said.

So, I really just want to change one or two values to make the game show another graphic. What's the easiest way to do it? I'm not completely clueless, but a walkthrough as detailed as possible would be greatly appreciated!

I'm fairly certain there is no way to do it for WotL at the moment. Everything that I've seen and personally researched has been for the psx version. Sorry, man.

Otherwise,  if you decide to go back to psx version, all the pertinent information for in-battle graphics is here:

Awwww, what a pity. Thanks a lot for the reply, though!

I'll keep the PSX info ready, I might just do something for my play group using that some day :)
