I'm not asking how to change a contrail, but effects themselves. I heard headshotmaster say that you could and I would like to know. Thanks in advance.

In Dothalo you could find an effect in the [prt3] tag (such as effects\generic\fires\fire) Then click on "loneID's" button in the Dependincies Box. Then goto the bitmap you see in there (for the fire effect it would be "effects\bitmaps\fires\fire"). You should know what to do from there. Its just like skinning a weapon or something.

Dang...I never actually tried it for a mod. Just testing it out for one weapon or something, so I never really looked at the other effects. Guess I still got a lot to learn Headshotmasta sir.
