Changing projectile color

[swordfang22]

I saw it on one of the KMP (killtrocity map pack), it was midship map and there were a mess load of needlers and the had different colored projectiles.
How would I go about doing this?
thanks for the help ~swordfang :)

You will probably also want to edit the Contrail color, found in the [cont] tag...If you open a [cont] tag in Entity, and goto the meta editor, it should show Color values in RGB form.

Okay how do I make the Projectile from the plasma rifle from blue to another color?

[mr_penguin]

you need to edit the mgs2 of the projectile, get the updated MGS2 plugin from http://plugins.pheonic.co.uk/?q=node/38
