Thanks for the reply, and hi!

I meant to post another screenshot but I couldn't snatch a good looking one of the scorpion rockets zooming by with their sharp blue lighting circle. Some sounds like when the Raptoids are dying are very high pitched and crunched. Also the Flare Gun's flare burning sound cuts out almost immediately after making contact with a surface. Those are the few that stick out in my mind. Something I was hoping to do was take audio form the original disc version of the game and port them over so they aren't so mismatched and high-pitched. The main issue I want to rectify of course is the ugly glowing lighting being so sharp and miscolored but in the end I hope to learn the modding for this game as I want to reconfigure the levels to how they were originally since some of the changes made i personally think make for a lesser experience.

What is the files that dictates how the dynamic glow looks for things like rockets and explosions and their colors?

I'm trying to make the remaster look more like the imo superior N64 version where the flashlight is blue, the explosion lighting is softer (instead of that sharp blue light circle for ALL explosion vfx) and set the correct ones to their corresponding weapon. Night Dive did good with the remaster but they ruined most of the sounds and visual effects.

Which file dictates these?

I wouldn't mind making the warp portals look less bright and instead softer like they used to be.

I'm tired of the remaster looking so ugly.
