Like they were before 1.07? Where the bolts were 3-5 lightning sprites long, instead of just one? I have a D1 chain lightning (HINT: AlwaysExplode and range=0) but with just the very small lightning bolts it looks very stupid.

The only thing I can think of is if you can change the missile ID with a dll edit. Otherwise the anwser is no, since the lightning trail is hardcoded to the missile that is used.

IIRC Lightning Fury is a finishing, not a missile... and even if it was a missile, changing it would change the lightning fury effect itself. Unless there's something you know and we don't.

the range column in missiles.txt determines how long it will be there before it disapears, set it to like 300

No, 'range' just increases the detection range of the bolts. Increasing the range it only makes it shoot at enemies five screens away, that's all.

Sorceress skills like Lightning and Chain Lightning are composed of two missiles. One missile is a small bit of lightning, which is the tip of the front. This is the bit that does damage. The huuge trail is a missile called "lightningstrike" or something similar, can't remember now. It does no damage, just looks pretty. This second missile is probably launched many many times to form a huge chain that looks like one big lightning. I think it's hardcoded that some skills would launch these extra cosmetic missiles (like chain lightning). D2X changed lightning fury to only shoot the one missile, the tip that does damage.

I believe so...the tip of the bone spear(the pointy missile of it) does the dmg, the other part of the missile is that ring thingy behind it.

God gave me a brain to use but I miserably failed to use it to my advantage
