HL2 Muzzleflashes and explosions

[Orcone101]

Does anyone know where the HL2 muzzleflash and explosion images are stored? (.vtf or .tga files)
I need to have a look at them and replace them with custom images I'm creating for Black Mesa: Source.
I've looked through the Steam Materials folder and many others but can't seem to find them. All I have managed to find are the old Half-Life 1 sprites.
Any help is greatly appreciated!

Maybe under the counter-strike source shared and source materials .gcf files
I know there are quite a few muzzleflash sprites in each of them

Yeah there are plenty of them in there, they are just such poor quality they must be from HL1.

Yes, thankyou. I found the base image and I have completely re-done it. It looks awesome now
