DB/SpellVisualEffectName

List of IDs and names for various models to be used.

Some of the information on this page is likely to be wrong. It was recently found that m_areaEffectSize is a uint32 in 0.5.3 and 1.12.1, which was previously always documented as a float. The same was found with scale in 1.12.1.

Structure

Column	Field 		Type 		Notes 
1 	ID		Integer 	
2 	name 		String 		The name of the model effects used for some editor probably 
3 	fileName 	String 		Location of the model 
4 	areaEffectSize 	Float 	        Probably flags or type of some sort but hard to tell 0.0 ~ 50.0, mostly 0.0 and 1.0
5 	scale		Float 	        another size modifier? only a few have not 1.0 or 0.0 "Acid Breath (45 yd)" has 45.0 ... 0.15 ~ 5.0, mostly 1.0 
6 	minAllowedScale Float 		since 95 is "Missile: Meteor (Scale: x3) and this column is 3.00.1 and 0.01 
7 	maxAllowedScale Float           1.0 ~ 100.0, mostly 100.0
