Ok can some one gimme URL or throw together a smaller gun fir sprite? The current sprite is blocking my vision ie I am lossing site of attacking skulks =/
I can make my own but it wouldn't look amazing.

what does the word "cheating" means to you?
The fire sprite is , as same as the Laserpointer on some publics, an important athmospheric feature and disatvantage in the game.
I agree that the fire sprite looks awfull compared with the rest of the game, so a better one would be nice.

It would be nice to give aliens some atmospheric disatvantages too, especially a worse sight as Fade.

did you miss the whole "skulks cant see fk when attacking" thing?

also, i do consider changing this sprite cheating and lame. its there for a reason, live with it and learn not to spam your fire. shoot in small bits

Personally I don't really see the issue. I guess if there were NO muzzle flash, maybe it'd ba bad, but I use a different one I made, just because it looks better than the default.

If it makes a difference to my accuracy, it's only because now I'm not left thinking "this sprite could be better" whenever I shoot.

They implemented model/sprite checking in 1.03. Even if you made your own special custom sprite job, most public servers wouldn't allow you to play unless you delete it first.

Call me a cheater, I don't care, but I made my own blue fire sprite, not quite as big as the original but close. It's blue...it's awsome :}

I would release it...but It is apparently cheating...so...

not all servers use the option though, and you can use all seeing eye to check for mp_consistancy.

CHEATER!!

Want a smaller muzzle flash? Here's what you do. Delete three files in your sprite directory. I think they are named Muzzleflash1 Muzzleflash2 and Muzzleflash3 respectively. Once you do that you get a nice 5-pointed star, thats what I did and it's excellent.

rename this to whatever the muzzle flash is.
