Magical animation

With the UoFiddler program, I extracted the Lightning Effect in Gumps into a bmp file and created the Effect with AnimData to demonstrate magic, but the location of lightning falls is different from the existing Lightning. Is there a way to adjust the location of this lightning strike? And one more question Rain or snow falls due to weather effects in the game. Could you tell me where I should modify to change the animation of rain or snow?

Rain and snow are hardcoded in client. I don't think there is a graphic in art that makes snow or rain droplets. Your position of lightning on the bitmap decides where it shows. Compare both lightnings and see how it looks. You can also use land tiles as reference. You can setup something similar like in this tutotorial

. Positioning is just the bitmap tiles on the grid.

Im assuming you changed m.BoltEffect( 0 ); in lightning spell to m.FixedParticles( if using art animation. on flamestrike its m.FixedParticles( 0x3709, 10, 30, 5052, EffectLayer.LeftFoot ); is where it says leftfoot changed to head? that might change the position of your spell effect. Your bitmap seems to be fine just looks like the effectlayer is set to a foot or something.

Thank you for your answer.
This is the contents of the cs file of my order. It is set to head. Is there something wrong?

ok then i would in the art files raise the actaul art up in the frame. Leave it the same size bitmap just move the lightning up abit and tes till you get it to correct height is how i would do it. Looks like the center of it is dead on just the height. You might lose some of the bolt at the top but just open up in paint or whatever you use select all and just move bolt up in frame for each art frame and save and test

Thank you for your answer. I'll fix it with the paint program. It's been a lot of help. Thank you so much!!
