I'm guessing it would be someone with the experience to do it faster than I, and with more time than you, since you've already done so much for this.

In any case, I am sure that in the current state, this list is a great boon to modders, cheers!
Well if someone would like to try that, I won't stop them. But like I said, the differences are minimal.

P.S.: What you want to achieve through the thread title should rather be done by tags, see below. Your title should better be something comprehensible that explains in short what this thread is about.
I took a look at the blasts. Most of them are probably weapon flysprites or something, since I didn't see them on the range I tested.

Tags? I'm intrigued, please tell me more. How do I get them?
