A question about an effect.

I hope somebody can help me answer this....I am racking my brain about this and it is driving me nuts. I dont know if Im having a dumbie attack or if Im barking up wrong tree or what....

My question is this. I am wishing to mod the effect of when a beam or torpedo ordinance impacts a hull. I am including a screen shot of the effect Im wishing to mod. My question is where and how do I mod it? I have looked and looked thru many odfs and I cant find where this effect is coded. I even looked in the spritetables but I am at a loss as to where it is located or what it is called. Any help would be greatly apreciated.

I have found .tga files in the texture directory that look similar to this effect but I cant find refernces to them in any odfs....I am asuming that this is a "global" effect as well but Im not sure that is just an asumption. I have thought about just replacing the .tga files I found with new ones but I radther know what Im actually doing first and to what lol. Also there seems to be many .tga files that look like this effect so.....Im not sure is I have to change all of them or just one.....

Thank you In advance for any help or insights anybody can provide.
