changing explosion appearance?

[porschefan8 0]

what series of the 'billboard effects' are used to make the AT4 explosion type that you can select in IGOR for projectiles/hand held objects?

In a mod I want to replace the billboard effect textures for the AT4 explosion with the ones used as the explosion for the demolition charges (the explosions you see in mission 5 of DS after placing the demo charges)

I've been trying to figure this out using PSP and RSB editor, but I've had no success.

NEED HELP! ! !

To my knowledge AT4's use shaped charges for better penetration of armor thus they'd lack that gasoline-like explosion on impact. The explosion seems realistic as it is, but if you're doing some kewl hollywood mod for GR, then I understand.

The real reason I need to know what textures to change is so that I can make some hand-held item that simulates a pack of C4 plactic explosive. Like a claymore, but much, much bigger.

Just compare the lines in red (type 1 and type 2) and you will get the idea.

I hope it helps....
