Larian Studios Forums Divinity - Original Sin Divinity Original Sin - Mods Is there a way to disable gear FX?

In each RPG I tried to disable FX from gear because is extremely annoying to see your character in flames at all time... and in this game the FX are really invasive: staffs with constant electricity... mmmsbssokthen, but bows and swords with the same effect are a terrible idea... I reached the extreme to prefer use normal weapons than the magic ones (or magic without effects).

Is there a game option, an editing trick, or a mod that disables FX from gear?

Well, I assume that not yet... damn fx...

And the same to Sneak mode? In my rogue character I really prefer to waste the Walk Shadows skill with cool down than sneak as a walking bush. I understand that the intention was to be hilarious and I've laughed the first time but then it becomes an embarrassing routine...

Have you try to change which sound is called from here

you most likely need to first dismantle .wems and figure out where those sound assents then are.

Thanks for the instructions; I really prefer a game update like a checkbox in the game options to disable this mode and turn it into another effect, or better in a non-existing one like crouch gait! But I definitely will study the whole thing.

Mistake in my post I meant you need to convert Weapons.bnk
