i have no idea what you mean by trails to a gun, but i do know the answer to the blood thing, its not possible, it splats when oyu crash but it doesnt leave a track of blood for some reason..

well what i mean by the trails is....well you know when you shoot a sniper rifle it leaves that trail of smoke? thats what i mean and the tires would be awesome to know! and does anyone know how to change lights? like the warthogs lights? like you know how they are normal but can you change them to purple?

oh, taht would be cool, and i think to change the light you go into hmt and go into light or something, i dunno cause ive never done it before.

Just swap the projectile for a AR round then tweak the light using one of the plug-ins and tweak the damege.

Dude there's no bitmap for a tracer for let's say pistol. There's one for the SR and AR, but not for any other human weapons.

the rocket has a contrail
go into hht and switch it
or just hmt copy and paste a new contrail over the old one

cant someone make an easy to follow TUT for it?

contrails, open the map in hht, go to the projectile tag, swap cont - nulled out to cont - whatever\the\hell\the\sniper\contrail\is

blood trails, just do the same thing with fire except make it a blood splate effect, if there is no blood splat effect use a blood splat decal =\

www.hpc-tutorials.tk
go in the general tutorials section, and there should be a topic that says how to change the color of a warthog's lights or something like that

you shouldn't need a tut for contrail swapping, unless you mean for light changes. that is harder for sure.
