Love the mod! I have one request: I use a blue color swap for my lasers. Would you be able to make a patch that gives us muzzle flash color options? Currently, my blue lasers give off red muzzle flashes. WAAAHH!! I'm an American.
I noticed that if I have a rapid fire laser weapon, like the gatling laser, there's a different...after color effect? I'm not sure that makes sense. So for green, the initial shot is green, looks super pretty, but then immediately after that, the laser turns kinda orange in color. For blue, the laser turns almost purple-ish. Here's a couple screenshots that show what I'm talking about, in green only though. Just picture the same kind of effect with the blue laser effect and purple after effect. http://imgur.com/a/ecXg0
Hopefully the link works. Anyways, I wasn't sure if I am just doing something wrong, or if that's just normal for the mod.
I've come to realize that it's not an "after effect" with the rapid fire lasers, it's how they are immediately. So green lasers, while less noticeable, will have an orange-ish color to the laser, while blue will have a purple-ish color for each laser beam fired from something like a gatling laser. I tried using a regular laser rifle, no mods, and the laser beam appears completely green for non rapid rifles, and has the orange/purple color for rapid.
finally, all the laser variants have an annoying halo effect thing that originates from the gun, as seen here http://imgur.com/0NbsG8c . I'm also unsure if that's just how this game is, or if it's the mod. These are just my complaints.
When I made this, I didn't even have BAE, It's actually based off a different mod. I might be able to fix it now, but for some reason, I can't upload new files on this page.
Can you now make the plasma weapons glow with the same colors? The goo too! ( Green is obviously already in the game for plasma so probably make it red! )
I actually already tried that, I searched through my textures and recolored everything with plasma in the name, It mostly worked, changing the plasma flamer, some grenade fx and hit effects but not the projectile itself, which is kinda the core of the whole thing.
Thanks for the reply! I'm really enjoying the Green lasers
Are you interested in trying to remove the smoke trails from ballistics? I think its beyond me, when the best I can do is retexture stuff. I don't even know how to find the files if I'm honest.
Kerrigan, makes an excellent point! -might it be possible to alter the colour dependant on mods: auto / sniper / scatter / etc. That could be very interesting!

Btw, is it normal that the white laser has a much larger effect? Its like making the whole screen white (which blue or green wont).
The only sad thing is the reflections or laser musket is still kind of red, other than that this look perfect
The institute version of this mod is up here

Using this kind of edit, is it possible to alter the smoke trails from HMG turrets to make them invisible?
For the second, if they use .dds files, it should work.

the second sounds possible, but is way beyond my abilities
