Like Ducky said, it's a skinning thing. You'll have to open up HMT, find the plasma skin for each weapon under the [bitm] tag, extract it, play with the color settings in a picture editor (photoshop, paintshop, ect.) and then re-inject it with HMT. Make sense?

...I'm not stupid. I know what your are talking about, I just didn't know if I had to edit the particles, effects, or something else. I do have photoshop and I do know how to skin.

I didn't want to mess with the bitmaps because I didn't want to screw up a bitmap that is shared with another weapon/object/vehicle/etc. that I didn't want to change.

EDIT: After looking through the bitmaps I did not find a single thing on the explosions. I think you must be talking about the decals or burn marks the bolts leave on the ground. I know what to do about those, I am not worried about that right now.

I want to change this

And this
