Help with modding gfx lightning and effects lightning

[KillaZilla]

Every time I put my assembled mod into the base folder of my openjk base, it will change the animation of the lightning but not the color. in the gfx folder of the mod I put in the misc folder a new lightning3.jpg but it doesn't seem to be loading in to the game, help?

I'm trying to take the lightning from movie duals 2 and put it in my single player.

if there is also an efx file, you need to replace the default force lightning and lightningwide effect with the new effects.

otherwise, you need to overwrite the textures and shader file too. also, you need the image format of your new texture is the same of the original (jpg, png, etc) check all these things.
