Need help / advice retroporting spell visual effects

I'm trying to retro port spell visual effects from later expansions, but with little success. I'm using the LegionToWotLK converter from this website to convert the spell .m2 files. However, it doesn't seem to properly convert the spell .m2, nor is it able to convert the .skin file. The only spell visual I was able to get working properly is Warlock's Fel Flame from Cataclysm.

I see other people have 010 script files for converting .m2 / .skin files, but all those sources are old and the links are dead.

Is there anyone who can tell me how to convert the Legion .m2 / .skin spell visual effect files to 3.3.5? Possibly offer me the 010 editor scripts for the .m2 / .skin files.

Thanks in advance.

Spells require a lot of handwork to be almost exactly the same as in the shadowlands, as there are no scripts to make them work as well. Most modders there convert spells in shitty version (white clouds that mean wrong color, wrong emiters etc)
programs You need to have nice spells is
010 editor to play with values mostly paricles edit's
photoshop to recolor or change textures
m2mod but just in some cases
 MultiConverter_3.3.0 and of course txid fixer
Pymodeleditor also for random cases

As You can see its not just drag #drop
