Color rocket shots?

Someone knows theoretically how can I add a soft team color to rocket shots? I need to create a new weapon extending to rocket and maybe new projectiles?

make custom skins for the rockets.

weird I'm trying to export the skin of rocket I think is:
UnrealShare.Effect16.fireeffect16

But when I try my unrealedit crash:

you cant export animated textures.
but why would you want that. you can always use unrealshare textures without problems

I want to export some rocket texture to change its color.

You're trying to export a procedural texture (in this case a Fire Texture).
Procedural textures cannot be exported at all, since they are generated in real time, they're not a regular bitmap, hence the name "procedural".

Add a colored smoke. Same effect, and you have full control.

I like that idea, how can I can I find the smoke texture name/package?

unrealshare has some nice texture for this

Yup, you can pull the default rocket smoke, make it linger a bit more and photoshop four or six colors into it pretty easily. You'll be surprised at the visual difference it makes.

Yeah I got it but I am having trouble to find out what is the correct smoke texture.

I've tried:
BotPack.utsmoke.us2_a00
BotPack.utsmoke.US3_A00
BotPack.utsmoke.us8_a00

Because seems that are the ones that UTSmokeTrail is using... But I'm having no luck with it.

I just switched providers so I'm waiting for the DNS to update. Once it does I'll walk you through using my sig link. This would make a good jumping off point for someone interested in modding so if you don't mind I'll treat it as showing someone new to modding?

look at the code of the rocket
there are more then one smokeeffects that can be spawned
