Also what particle files are used by the rpg smoke? I can take a look and see if theres anything to be done about creating some 'trails' to accompany the flare.
I don't think there are any particular files associated w/ the particle dealio. I think its all dynamically generated, which is why it was turning out to be a pain to mod. At least, I never found where the actual smoke was coming from. At one point, I had asked Aftershock to find it, and he basically came back w/ 'not much we can really do about it'.

There's nothing more I wanted to do than mod the smoke color, but sadly, seems we just might be at a limitation of Source. I really don't know enough about the particle engine source uses to even guess at how we could get around it.
