I need to make explosions

[DonMegel]

I need to make new explosions for HL2. I have the footage but I dont know which files to replace in order to use it. What format does the footage need to be in? Can some one please help me out or point me in the right direction.

Thank you.

It might be a bit more complicated than you think...

I'm figuring out how to do this myself, since no one else seems to know judging from the lack of posts...

So far I've used GCFScape and found some explosion sprites, but not the ones you see in half-life 2...
GCFScape: http://nemesis.thewavelength.net/index.php?c=76&o=255#c2428

If you don't know, you use GCFscape to open up .gcf files located in your Steam/steamapps/ directory.

I looked in Source materials.gcf and I see a bunch of VTF and VMT files...

I'm using VTFEdit to view them. http://nemesis.thewavelength.net/index.php?c=178

I may post again if I figure anything else out :cheers:

Thanks for the heads up, it looks like there are some explosions in materials/sprites, I dont recognize them though...
