SSE ice spike/spear purple recolor

[TeHCoQ]

looking to create a new spell that is a dark purple recolor of ice spike or ice spear.

this is intended as a 'shadow' version of the spell using the ice spike projectile, as most mods that had a 'shadow bolt' i could find had an underwhelming projectile. (no offense to authors)

i have a decent amount of xedit experience, but meshes/textures on this scale are a bit out of my realm. i've tried recoloring the icicle .nif and changing hue of the .dds, but i'm not sure this is approaching it in the right way. i would also assume the impact decals and pre-cast hand glow would need to be recolored as well.

 

pls let me know if i have overlooked some mod that already includes this, ive done a fairly exhaustive search of both og and sse mods.

 

appreciate any input or assistance, would really complete my shadow magic nightblade build.

Not sure about the icicle projectile, but I successfully changed the illusion projectile and hand glow to purple on a mod spell before. I think that's the right way to do it.

ok, i'm about 90% done with this mod, 1 big issue remaining.

i've got the projectile the color im looking for, but there's still a blue glow coming from something i cant seem to find:

i only have a very basic understanding of using nifskope, so it may be something i've overlooked.

the other (and much more minor) issue is the 'shatter' effect that is played when it impacts a non-actor/flesh object, that part is still blue as well.

i cant seem to find the effect, i've looked through all the references for the original ice spike spell.

this is less of a mod request and more of mod creation assistance at this point.. if theres a better forum for this pls let me know.

found some external help, and issues have been resolved. will update with a link to mod once polished and published.

TY to anyone who looked.
