Power shot heat color

Preparation

In this guide you will have to edit vmt files. I would recommend you use the software VTFEdit to edit them. You can use text editor for that such as Atom, NotePad++, VIM and many other ones would work fine.

Locate your game folder and find this folder if you are on Origin:

Origin Games\Titanfall2\vpk\

Or this folder if you are on Steam:

Steam\steamapps\common\Titanfall2\vpk\

Copy these files and paste them in a backup folder somewhere else:

• englishclient_mp_common.bsp.pak000_dir.vpk

• client_mp_common.bsp.pak000_000.vpk

You will need the Titanfall VPK Tool, the program which will allow you to open and repack Titanfall VPK files. Here

Unpacking

Now that these files have been backed up and everything installed. Navigate to your game folder and open this file:

Origin Games\Titanfall2\vpk\englishclient_mp_common.bsp.pak000_dir.vpk

Editing

For editing the Power Shot heat color, go to this directory:

materials\models\fx

Open the file gatling_spin_glow.vmt and find this string "$color2" "[1 1 1]"

Here more information about that value and how to edit the way you like.

After following step by step the previous link

Rename pak000_000.vpk to client_mp_common.bsp.pak000_000.vpk

Rename pak000_dir.vpk to englishclient_mp_common.bsp.pak000_dir.vpk

Place both of the renamed files back into your game directory and then launch Titanfall 2. You should be able to see your changes!
