Description
second to or last gun fx addon, does anyone want a version of the rifle muzzleflashes that aren't x shaped and more consistent with regular muzzle flashes?

replaces sparks, tracers, and spark impact textures

excuse the video, remembered that song and was into it

+optimized (less than 100 kb!!)

+realism ;(I even studied some actual bullet tracer photos well they only appear with certain rounds but who cares)

+subtle in bright environments

Help Wanted!
can anyone help with copying the sprite sheet from the original sparks.vtf so I can put it in the vtf? idek if thats whats causing it but theres a minor error that only occurs on some maps where it draws the entire texture instead of parts of the sprite, it looks fine but its not correct.

According to Brave AI:
The exact translation of the sentence 为什么打在防弹衣僵尸身上的子弹是蓝色的，而且烟雾也是蓝的 is:

Why are the bullets hitting the bulletproof vest zombie blue, and why is the smoke also blue?

yeah I see what you mean. see hte same thing a sheet size 1,120B. there's a button to edit resources but it doesn't work in vtfedit reloaded. wouldn't know how to recreate or source it... spent all day reading on vtfs and vmts and pcf and i'm more clueless than when i began. something tells me it could be the sht file embedded in it: https://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/Animated_Particles but i don't even know if this is an animated texture per se so i could be wrong. looked at the weapon_fx.pcf in the particle editor for fun but all i saw was pretty lights lol. wish i could be of more help but good luck hope you can sort it out!

its sparks vtf in the particles folder, you can see when you open it with vtf edit, in the resources tab it has 1.120 b of sheet data, i think thats whats causing the small error. if anyone can help get that sheet data or recreate it or something, please help, theres barely any documentation on this stuff :steamsad:

I tried to upload the sparks that I found but was having issues sharing. Is this what you were requesting? https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1lICPx0z6oLXPT3s14-rq-Ap4RRgloeF6?usp=sharing
