how do i change the colour of the glowing and projectile plasma on the plasma pistol and plasma rifle?

My Version of the Brute Plasma Rifle

just go into bitmaps and then look for the plasma rifel and plasma pistol projectile and then run it in whatever program you have for skinning and color it a different color.

i looked for that, and i don't know the files name (i checked everywhere) i need a for sure name of the file plz

Alright if I understand your question right I beleive you have to change the contrail bitmap for the plasma rifle. You will also want to change the fire burst bitmap too so when you see that burst of plasma at the tip of the gun it will be the same color as your projectile. So if i am right about chagning the contrail then you just open up HMT and open map c40. Go to the bitmaps section and then down to weapons. In there is a bitmap named weapons\plasma rifle\bitmaps\plasma rifle contrail. Click on this and then click save texture. Then open it up in the picture\texture editing program of your choice(that has a .dds plugin) then change the color and reinject it back into the map you want or if you want it for a new weapon in CE then just put it into a folder run it through tool and then replace the bitmap in your plasma rifle tag with the new one you have created. I hope that helped. If not exactly post back and I will try to help u further.

thanks for the help, but where would i find the fire burst.dds texture?

i also tried to imject a flash pr overcharge file, but it says "the files is too small, HMT will try to update the file size" then it says "files inject must be DXT1's" but i saved it as a DXT1, what could the problem be?
