Well, it`s easier then it sounds, so don`t get scarred. All that you will actually do, is copy paste some stuff and modify some values.
If by any reason this tutorial seams hard, watch the VIDEO TUTORIAL at the end of the article. But i strongly advice you to read it carefully the guide, it`s much better.
First of all, you will need Lineage2FileEdit tool. You can download it here
Open the file Weaponsgrp.dat file located inside you Lineage2/system directory.
NOTE: if you have Interlude client, from lineage2fieledit at the THRONE panel select the lineage 2 chronicle/throne you are playing (interlude or Kamael in this case) BEFORE OPENING THE FILE.
After you opened WEaponsgrp.dat you will see alot of lines, it will be confusing at first, but it`s very simple.
ALL you need to do is modify some values.
The Concept is simple. You have rows and columns, each having values.
You will see at the top a value called is_hero, and under it the value -1 for normal weapons. All you need to do is change the value -1 to 1, and add the effect of the hero weapon, by modifying the effect line in the row. SEE BELLOW.
It looks something like this, let`s take for example the sword of miracles,having the number 151, from weapongrp.dat
The row is this:
0 151 1 1 7 10 0 LineageWeapons.sword_of_miracle_m00_wp LineageWeaponsTex.sword_of_miracle_t00_wp icon.weapon_sword_of_miracle_i00 -1 840 47 1 0 7 1 1 LineageWeapons.sword_of_miracle_m00_wp 1 LineageWeaponsTex.sword_of_miracle_t00_wp 4 ItemSound.sword_big_3 ItemSound.sword_mid_9 ItemSound.sword_great_4 ItemSound.public_sword_shing_8 ItemSound.itemdrop_sword ItemSound.itemequip_sword 10 186 152 1 4 8 0 0 0 0 379 0 1 1 1000 0 -1 0 LineageEffect.c_u006 4.0000000 0.0000000 0.0000000 0.8000000 0.8000000 LineageWeapons.rangesample 1.3500000 0.7000000 0.7000000 11.0000000 0.0000000 0.0000000 6 -1 -1 -1 icon.weapon_sword_of_miracle_i01
I marked with red the values you need to change, usually the value -1 you need to change to 1, is situated two values before the effects value (before LineageEffect.c_u006 in our case, see above) .
-1 0 LineageEffect.c_u006 -- BEFORE
1 0 LineageEffect.e_u092 -- AFTER
see the -1 in the line, right before the LineageEffect.c_u006 and the value 0. Usually it`s always situated there, so you can find it easily.
ALl you have to do is change the -1 value to 1, and the LineageEffect.c_u006 to a hero weapon effect, if it`s a sword, you should put a sword hero glow effect, if it`s a mace, put a mace hero weapon glow vallue, in our case LineageEffect.e_u092_a
HERE ARE THE HERO WEAPON VALLUES
LineageEffect.e_u092_a single sword
LineageEffect.e_u092_b two-hand sword
LineageEffect.e_u092_c axe
LineageEffect.e_u092_d mace
LineageEffect.e_u092_e hammer
LineageEffect.e_u092_f staff
LineageEffect.e_u092_g dagger
LineageEffect.e_u092_h fist
LineageEffect.e_u092_i bow
LineageEffect.e_u092_j dualsword
So, basically, all you need to do, is change the -1 to 1 and the effect type to the hero weapon effect type.
EXEMPLE:
THis is the sword of miracle,
-1 0 LineageEffect.c_u006 original
1 0 LineageEffect.e_u092_a CHANGED
i chose LineageEffect.e_u092_a because Sword of miracles it`s a sword, so it will have the hero glow of the hero sword glow, so it matches perfectly.
VERY IMPORTANT!
Usually, you will find 4 rows with the same weapon in the weapongrp.dat spreaded in the document. You will have to change these values in all those rows.
For exemple, if you want SWORD OF MIRACLES TO HAVE HERO GLOW you need to change these lines:
0 151 1 1 7 10 0 LineageWeapons.sword_of_miracle_m00_wp LineageWeaponsTex.sword_of_miracle_t00_wp icon.weapon_sword_of_miracle_i00 -1 840 47 1 0 7 1 1 LineageWeapons.sword_of_miracle_m00_wp 1 LineageWeaponsTex.sword_of_miracle_t00_wp 4 ItemSound.sword_big_3 ItemSound.sword_mid_9 ItemSound.sword_great_4 ItemSound.public_sword_shing_8 ItemSound.itemdrop_sword ItemSound.itemequip_sword 10 186 152 1 4 8 0 0 0 0 379 0 1 1 1000 0 -1 0 LineageEffect.c_u006 4.0000000 0.0000000 0.0000000 0.8000000 0.8000000 LineageWeapons.rangesample 1.3500000 0.7000000 0.7000000 11.0000000 0.0000000 0.0000000 6 -1 -1 -1 icon.weapon_sword_of_miracle_i01

i allready modified the correct values, to: 1 0 LineageEffect.e_u092_a
NOTE: DUAL WEAPONS HAve only 1 ROW in the document
SAVE THE DOCUMENT by CHOOSING Save&encode, choose the 413 value by default when asked.
VERY USEFULL TIP:
You might thing it`s hard to find the weapons names in all the document, but what you can do is to copy all the values FROM weapongrp.dat by selecting it all and copying it to clipboard, then paste it into an empty notepad document.
After that all you need to do is search (ctrl-f)by the name of the weapon you search for (for exemple sword_of_miracle) and you will find the Rows NUMBERSmuch faster. After that, you know the row numbers (all 4) of the weapon, note it down somewhere, go into L2fileEdit and search the row numbers by scrolling down edit the rows manually.
Piece of cherry cake. :P
Allthogh it seams complicated, it really is easy. All you have to do is change the value -1 to 1 (on the is_hero column, situated right after the effects column for exemple > -1 0 LineageEffect.e_u092_a CHANGED)NGEDand replace the desired hero effect that will be displayed in game on the weapon, AND THAT`s IT. Enjoy.
