Okay, give us an actual problem and specific details on what your problem is or a Mod might lock this. It is frowned upon to just say, "is this possible", or "do this"

Thank you

Unfortunately unless you modified the source code, FPSC doesn't currently have funcionality for particle effects like the ones shown here, only muzzle flashes. However, you might try modifying a rocket launcher to make the actual rocket model look like a transparent beam to achieve a similar effect. Eiether way, it looks like its going to take alot of work, but good luck!

Could this be done with the new controllable flack? I've never used it but could be a thought.

You can edit the weapon model's animation to make a plane with the decals texture come from the barrel of the weapon, it isn't to hard if you have a little experience with 3D animation.

yeah u can do this, I did this just by editing the fpi file i belive. In your guns fpi (i think thats the one) it will say were and what image to grab when fired. Just use a decal image. change its defualt path or just change the file name to a new I think its a flak. Depends on the wepon pretty sure. Some fire with flak and others fire as something else cant remeber. Id have to look but yes it works and ive modified many guns by doing this method.

I am not 100% sure but it should be possible alternate textures:

The weapon model includes the beam which has to end in the middle of the screen. The regular texture has the beam transparent, but firing the weapon activates the alternate texture making the beam visible.

Shaders could be another solution, bond1 used shaders in his latest creature pack to change their appearance with scripts.

In case you find my grammar and spelling weird ---> native German speaker ^^
