Needler Contrail Color Change

Iv been having a few problems trying to alter the color of the contrail/muzzle flash on the needler...
you see, i changed the needles, 3P needles, and specular mask needles from purple to green...
but as you can probably guess, when i fire it, the contrail/muzzle flash remains purple...
does anyone happen to know how to change the color so that these two sync-up?

Did you change the shader or the bitmap.

Contrail color is in the contrail tag, muzzle flash color is in the effe tag, and you'll have to change the firing light to the color you want as well.

alright...i got all those pulled up in dothalo, but i dont know where to alter the hues/colors...im not trying to swap it with anything in the dependencies window...
i extracted the purple bitmap on the needler contrail, changed it in PS, internalized the bitmap, and re-injected the new color...but after i ftp'd it back to my box, it wasnt changed...
as for the muzzle flash, i dont know which one to change color! there's like 15 different effects of the needler i see no specific one that regulates the flash out of the gun!!
and you mentioned firing light? what exactly is that, where do i find it, and how do i change it?
sorry i have all these questions but im just about ready to release my new map and i cant seem to get these last few details out of the way...

With dot halo, you probably don't have up to date plugins, thats why you didn't see options for it.
And by firing light I mean the light that probably attached to the firing effect.
