Well, I changed my HolyFire to burning damage, and gave it my own overlay. Now, for some reason, after I gave it the overlay, HolyFire that appears on bosses does NOTHING to me, no damage, no effect, nothing...but my own holyfire from my Pally works. I'm getting quite annoyed with this and I don't think it's my overlay that's causing this...what could be going wrong?

Damn, damn,damn, that's why my minion's Disco Inferno does no damage! This had me pulling my hair out!

BTW: copyright question: which overlay did you pick? I also use burning damage for some ranged Succubus skills, also changed the overlay, and I don't want to copy your overlay literally (if only because your mod will likely be finished before mine).

For an overlay, I used a circle of flames...Novus made it. It looks pretty cool. Unfortunately, I'm having this very annoying problem right now.

Can anyone help me out here? I need to know if this is an overlay problem or not. I cannot understand why an overlay would cause the whole skill to not work with a monster but work if I use it.

What do you mean by the right src damage? I changed it's damage to burning, and it worked with the normal holyfire overlay(bosses were a huge pain). I put the new overlay, nothing.

src damage is the source thru which the game deals damage: eg if you change the value of the src of multishot it will hit etc but to 0-0 damage since the src dosent match the actually damage that is generated (not damage type) i think that holyfire on bosses uses another src and only the overlay is the same as the player skill (good eg: vampire fire wall and sorc fire wall) (even they use different ones in missiles.txt the gfx is the same)

Not sure what happened but I fixed it. All I did was use a fresh D2Game.dll, then readded everything I edited in it(a few skill swaps, gambling, crushing blow mechanics, etc) and now it somehow got fixed. Not sure what the problem exactly was before but it's okay now.

OK, found it... she was casting it at skill level 0.
