Location of fire sprites

I am working on refracting fire, that means it will have some kind of heat haze effect.

But I can't seem to find the location(s) of the fire.

For example I can't find the fire(s) used on dod_anzio.
I tried sprites/flames1/flame.vtf, and some others, but no luck.

Offtopic, but mind releasing that phonged BAR? I'd like to see it.

Try: "source materials.gcf\hl2\materials\sprites".

No need for the sprite itself (besides it won't look as good as it won't be volumetric). You can make a dudv texture, set on a particle emitter such as func_smokestack.

If you do it right, you can set the particle to 1 and you won't notice a difference FPS wise. That's how we do it at work.

Explain it like I have no idea how to do anything (because I might not :) )

Same.

So this can be done only in a map editor or just by only editing a the shader?

Please attempt to reply in English.

Though I understand the language barrier is perhaps difficult.
