Hey is there a tutorial for ceating weaponefx sprites? I have downloaded new ones in the past. I want to create different coloured flamer animations and create a new flamer animation that has a MUCH longer range. I've opened up ones and seen how they work, but none i have really fits what im looking for and I want to no how the animation ties into the weapons mode and ammo usage. So, any advise or tutorials out there?

I don't think I've seen any. It seems like any animations are difficult with Spray.

Hmm there is a 'projectile tracer' sprite that someone did that I didnt think was just a recoloured old one, looks new. Maybe its just one ive never seen but if I could make that one a bit wider and straight it would work for a 'concentrated flamer' anim. I'm looking for a long, thin, consistant stream of fire.

Colors are not that difficult. Just use the standard Sprites creation tutorial and only mess with the part you change the sprite colours. I've experimented with that in the past. I've included two of the outcome variations in my yahoo group.
