I'm hoping this is a simple request. I'd love a mod that changes plasma from the puke green of the game to a sort of cyan-ish blue. That's pretty much all I want out of life. Blue Plasma.

Here's hoping!

Depending on how the projectile is set up, it could be easy or a bit harder, but still relatively easy.

If there's just a line that determines what color code the plasma uses, since there are so many types of plasma projectiles in the game, it would be as simple as finding the right line in the relevant scripts and making it a blue color. If each projectile is colored green, you'd have to find a way to edit the actual model, recolor it, then get the game to use it.

What program is being used to mod Xcom? I've got a bit of experience with Skyrim's Creation Kit. But I'm guessing the two don't mesh.

Right now, the programs being used operate via command line, so it's about as unfriendly as things can get. From what I hear, we've got some people working on tools with a GUI, so you might want to keep an eye on the Mod Discussion subforum here and wait for some good news.
