I want to try to change the Muzzle Flash to make it look like a real gun. Ive played around but cant seem to get what I want. What would i have to do to acheive this? Thanks in advance!

1. Show us what you mean by wanting it to look like a real gun for comparison purposes
2. Tell us what you've done so far to modify it
3. Post a screenshot of what your edited muzzle flash currently looks like so we know where you're at.

Try changing the color of the muzzle flash. This is what ive done several times when i modded some assault rifle type weapons.
In sides, go to your common odf folder and open com_weap_inf_rifle - if you scroll halfway down you'll find the color values for muzzle flash. Copy the odf file and then paste it into the side odf folder of the weapon that you're trying to change, then rename it to some other name, and reference it in the bla_weap_inf_rifle odf. (where it says com_weap_inf_rifle, change it to whatever name you changed the modded odf to, or else BF2 might override your values to default.) Play around with the color values until you like the way the flash looks, as it's sort of close to the real thing.

well if you want get bleu muzzle for the rep for example on the award rifle take the file rep_weap_award_rifle.odf and on the SOUND zone add these lines:

MuzzleFlash = "small_muzzle_flash"
FlashColor = "80 80 255 255"
FlashLength = 0.025
FlashColor = "100 100 255 255"
FlashLength = 0.025
FlashLightColor = "220 220 255 175"
FlashLightRadius = "2.0"
FlashLightDuration = "0.25"
Discharge = "small_smoke_effect"
