There appears to be something wrong with applying VFX to summon reskins. The following VFX have been tested to no longer work when applied to a Summon Reskin;

- Barkskin
- Iceskin
- Shadow Shield

It appears to be these specifically that simply refuse to work. They were applied to the summon using the following commands as per normal, without success;

dm_setvarint summon_vfx (x)
dm_setvarint summon_vfx1 (x)
dm_setvarint summon_vfx_dur1 (x)

None of these worked. Other VFX appear to be working fine, with the exception of the three above (and presumably, any other similar VFX which acts as an extra 'skin' type thing).

The VFX issue was tested on two different PCs, and they failed to work on both a normal Summon and a Familiar reskin. Other VFX worked fine in both cases. Possibly related is a similar inability to apply these skin VFX to any PC or monster utilizing the command;

##dm_visualeffect (x)

The DMS tools -can- be used to apply them to PCs and monsters. That's all the relevant information I've found so far. I can't find a reason why these skin VFX are no longer working, since they were definitely working perfectly fine when I last did a Summon Reskin.

Mana, poke me when you've some spare time and we'll work through this one. Shouldn't take long, I have suspicions.

Do you get a white swirling VFX when you try to apply these? Specifically the shadow shield. Does it happen on all summons or only certain ones? I ask, because I stumbled onto a "known issue" where models of a certain size (large or huge) won't apply the vfx's. They use that standard swirling effect. It can be fixed in the toolset by using an invisible creature model and adding the appearance as a tail, but I do not know how it may work on summons.

Throwing this out there in case it helps you track it down/fix it.

I think I only tested this on Medium or smaller sized creatures and they didn't exhibit the regular skin VFX or the swirling VFX given to Large and above creatures. Testing it on something Large is a good idea though to see if the swirling VFX still works.

I'll let you know when I'm free to test this Sune.
