Invisible shield impact and smaller or less sparks

Hello there!

I'm trying to achieve a more immersive gameplay by getting rid of those blueish / greenish shield effects in MP, when a player gets hit or even kicked (in JA++).

Which file controls this effect and how can I make it completely invisible? Is it text based in "/effects" folder or is there some kind of .tga that I need to replace with an empty .png?

I'm alos not happy with the huge amount and the size of sparks when someone gets hit with the saber.
I'm using "Enhanced Impact Effects" mod and I already tried to reduce the "count" and "size" in /effects/saber/saber_cut.efx of that mod, but there are still too many and too big sparks; i can't determine a change at all.

Thank you very much Circa!

Your mod didn't work in MP but it helped me to look at the right place and what to do.

So basically there are 2 files that need to be edited:
 

in folder:
/gfx/effects/

replace
shieldshell1.jpg with an all black image at the same size (128x128)
shieldshellring.jpg with an all black image at the same size (256x256)



Now I just need to come along with those sparks. In /effects/ there are 2 folders: /saber/ and /sparks/.
Both have a lot of attributes to control the sparks but I'm not sure how they behave. Is there any guide for handling sparks?
I want less sparks and way smaller sparks.

This is saber_clash.efx which is included in "Enhanced Impact Effects" by kalamaray

Can you make the green shield smaller and more transparent instead of removing it altogether? I'm looking for a mod that makes it look better without just disabling it entirely. For example it would be cool to have just a green aura like with amempower instead of a huge green sphere.
