Edit "Quake 3\baseq3\pak0.pk3\sprites\plasmaa.jpg" in photoshop. The pak0.pk3 file can be opened with a file archiver such as winRAR or 7-zip.

A note is that you will have to find the sprites/textures for the other plasma effects and change the color of them as well if you want a more seamless result. It's probably best to not edit the files inside the pak0 also, better to make a new .pk3 archive called "zzz-plasma.pk3" or something with the changed files and put it in the baseq3 folder like "Quake 3\baseq3\zzz-plasma.pk3".

I attached an example with only the plasma projectiles changed.

but sadly idk how to create a PK3 file so i edites pak0 for now. i didnt know i can enter into these files like a folder.

Keep the same folder-structure like its given in the pak0.pk3. Create a new pk3 file out of that. Call it zz-whateverulike.pk3, place it into your defrag folder. Njoy.


Like: (zz-whateverulike.pk3)

• models
  
  • weapons2
  • weaphits
  • ...

• gfx
• textures
• ...

pk3s are like archives. create the folders like muckster said, and then zip it with your favourite tool. after that rename the zipfile ending from .zip to .pk3

also name the pk3 something zzz- like so it will parsed at last and will overload already loaded files from original pak. so you can have custom pak without risking to damage original pak0
