Where exactly is the purple glow around a needle as it is flying in the air? I want to change it to blue, and I thought it was a bitmap, but no matter what I change (needler/needles.bitm or the 3p one), it's still purple. I looked in [effe] and it wasnt there either. Can someone point me to where it is? I'm totally lost.

you need to internalize the bitmaps.

I did internalize the bitmaps, it shows up on the gun before I fire it, and I also put blue contrail, and that worked too. If anyone knows what I'm doing wrong or where the right tag is, please post ASAP.

The glow is the contrail. You can edit the color. Lemme check and get a feel for what I remember doing here...
Okay, yeah. Go into entity, open the map, and go to cont. Find pistol/needler/projectile, select it, then select tools> meta editor and scroll all the way down.
Under that drop down box should be "Trail Width", "Lower Alpha" and other boxes with values in them. If you edit a lower value, edit the upper value as well.

The contrail is the tail that follows the projectile. Not the glow.
The glow is actually the [MGS2] dependency. Just go to the [proj] tag and select the needler bullet and null out its [MGS2] indent.

In the needler's case, I assumed the glow was the contrail...
In personal experience the glow around it became green when I edited the contrail in that fashion. Editing the width of contrail also made the glow wider. So, unless he means some other emanating light coming from the needle, that's how I changed it, therefore that's what I told him.
