Underfoot Client with classic spell effects!

[uwill]

So, I don't know if it is well-known or not, I tried searching and couldn't find anything on forums about this BUT I found a pretty easy way to enable classic spell effects on Underfoot clients without adding anything. Just delete:
.../everquest/spellsnew.edd
.../everquest/spellsnew.eff

Thanks to Samataman for reposting it.

I hope someone finds this useful!

Just fyi to any server devs who want to set all spell animations to classic.

Run this query on your spells new table.

UPDATE spells_new SET spellanim = 0;

It will then use the classic spell animations set in the field 'SpellAffectIndex'

Of course this is irreversible so be careful.

I wish it were this easy; however, since DX9 clients they only partially work. No effects are able to attach themselves to the character models so anything that required the root_bone locations don't work. This includes hands, waist, etc.
