I will try I have not been able to find a turtorial on making photons are FX yet so if you can give me a link that will help.

I want to make them kind of look like they are glowing.

I have had a hard time getting particle weapons to work with my game because I am using the templates.

I had a particle FX script written for me but it has some problems.

So I want to stick with the sprites because they are working but I do want them to look a little better so I am looking for a tutorial that I can use with TheGimp now.
