About Cast system VFX

As you know RDM uses combinations of white and black magic. It goes so far that RDM cast VFX paths are actually shared with VFX paths of WHM (might be even other healers) and BLM. For this reason you can see that cast VFX of those jobs were also modded. I thought it will be possible to rework it, but the only way to made unique RDM cast is to get rid of white\black system. It means that RDM will always have one cast type for every spell which is sad, but I can make it as constant 1 white and 1 black wing VFX if you really need it.
There is another way to make a compromise:
Use Penumbra  - this plugin is very convenient and its second most usefull feature is collections that allowes you to set all mods for your character only, which is exactly what you need to do :3
Note that penumbra won't work on NPC because they are considered to be your characters... at least that's as far as I know. If I find another way to solve the problem, I'll fix it right away!
I personaly think its not needed to make a constant cast System. Kinda Breaks the theme of this modpack which is centered around black AND white.beaming_face
I've already set the battle effects to "Show limited",but I still can see the casting VFX on other players. BTW I'm TextTools users.
DiLied, have you found another way of making the VFX exclusive to your character or is Penumbra still the only way so far? BTW I tried all the available animations through TexTools and they're great! I've been wanting to make a "darker" male Au Ra red mage and your mod is perfect! can't wait for the final mod pack to be released!
Cristopher H., for now penumbra is the only known way to show mod exclusively on your character, because it has personal collection feature. It's not that hard to instal. It's in-game plugin so you dont need to instal separate program. Textool swaps files completely, so if you instal anything through Textools, it will always show on everyone. Lastly Penumbra constantly updates and gets new features, while Textools is kinda outdated. It's used more to pack mods than to apply it.
