Creating Sword Skills

I remember that someone had a tutorial about how to add gfx after a sword slash so that it would look like a sword skill technique.

Could anyone be kind enough to link to the tutorial or explain?


Any assistance would be greatly appreciated  :mrgreen:

Thanks

I can't seem to find the previous resource. I'm at a secure computer which doesn't allow downloads so I'm trying to study a bit of theory and do as much text based coding as possible.

I can't download or see anything to do with FFTPatcher here as well.

So I'm just trying to figure out the general lookout for coding something kinda like 1.3's Heratic Sword etc.

So from what I've found out about attack animations there is the Generic Attack animation and an Attack Animation that uses a "Proxy" Weapon-A Knife.

From what I've seen there is no way to make the generic attack animation use a sword swing, it always uses a punch. Is there anyway to change that, am I missing a flag? Is the attack animation not picking from the right data?

Just wondering what makes things like Holy Sword so different and unrepeatable.
