How do I make a black flame effect

Would like to have a black flame effect (black version of the atronachflame effect) so I can place on an npc to make it look like he's made from shifty shadows. Been experimenting with the shader effects interface... eek! I am not the most technically aware spod unfortunately. :P If there is a simpler way, I'm all for it!

Have solved the problem.

Used GIMP to change the colour of the fireflameparticle.dds to black. Then change the settings to default on the effects shader interface and saved the result as effectdarkflame. The made a magic effect script using the effectdarkflame, and put that in an ability/spell as a scripts effect. Then gave the abiloty to my npc, who now emitts and wanders around in a mass of dark flame, so he looks (as intended) like he's made of shadow.

Also made one which was a great effect of using the 'apply to skin' option for another npc, using the floorsymbol01lit.dds - so he has runes scrolling across his skin. kinda nifty. Have yet to get someone to emitt runes but there we go... ;) Laotsekung 23:31, 8 December 2006 (EST)
