:I'm fairly sure it does affect arms and legs... did you try this with a mod-added armor? I believe that skin portions of armor and clothing need to be marked as "skin" in the mesh for the "skin-only" shader to affect them... but I believe that they normally are affected.

Does anyone know that units the duration is in?  Seems like it would be seconds but the shader seems to play much longer.  Feywulf, sorry you didn't get an answer.  Maybe the limbs & torso are due to clothing / armor meshes?

--Feywulf 2:02, 20th April 2006 (EDT): Magic shader visuals with "affect skin only" set will play on hands, tails, head, and ears, but not on hair, eyes, arms, legs, or torso. I understand why it doesn't affect hair or eyes, but shouldn't it affect the arms, legs, and torso?

I'm fairly sure it does affect arms and legs... did you try this with a mod-added armor? I believe that skin portions of armor and clothing need to be marked as "skin" in the mesh for the "skin-only" shader to affect them... but I believe that they normally are affected.
