List of Effect Animations

This page lists the various effect animations used by the game in both dungeon and ground modes along with descriptions. There are some limitations depending on the type:

  • WAN: The most common type. Functions in both dungeon and ground modes.
  • WAN File 0: Functions only in dungeon mode. Ignore this for SetEffect(EFFECT_NONE, 3);.
  • WAN File 1: Functions only in ground mode.
  • WAT: Uses the 3D engine. Not recommended for dungeon mode as it corrupts parts of the UI.
  • Screen: Covers the entire screen. Functions in both dungeon and ground modes, as long as the background only uses a single layer.
  • WBA: ???

This video by Hecka Bad demonstrates all effect animations and their paired SFX, apart from the WAN File 1 animations that appear to be playable only in ground mode.
