If you have Photoshop and SourceSDK yourself, it's remarkably easy to do. Even if anyone wanted to make them, the Escapist tags can only accept GIF, BMP, JMG and PNG image tags, not Valve Texture Files or Material Files (VMTs & VTFs) so the Escapist would not be able to host it.breadlord said:
To make your own particle texture, you can use GCFscape [http://nemesis.thewavelength.net/index.php?p=26] to extract the textures you want from the file 'team fortress 2 materials.gcf' in the directory marked "tf\materials\particles" for the rocket trails and explosions. Use the tutorial here [http://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/Creating_a_Material] to edit the texture for those effects to your satisfaction, then save them to the folder "C:\Program Files\Steam\Steamapps\[Your User Name]\Team Fortress 2\tf\materials\particles". Model textures are done in the same way for players and weapons and so on. They're located in tf\materials\Models.
If you want to edit any other particle effects, you'll need to use the Source Development Kit [http://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/Particle_System_Overview] to make new ones from scratch.
To edit sound, use some nice freeware audio editors [http://audacity.sourceforge.net/]. Source Engine will accept ANY sound effect, as long as it fits a few simple parameters: It's smaller than [i]50 megabytes (MB)[/i], Cast at 44150-Hz, and 16bit. It takes a bit more editing to get a Looping sound, but that's for different stuff, like turning your Dispenser into a radio.

This is the only reason I did not do all of this for you and you have to make it yourself.
It takes intentional grammatically recalcitrant [http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/recalcitrant] thinking to type that.

Someone is getting exasperated [http://www.thefreedictionary.com/exasperated] from something that i have no idea on even what it means. All i thought was that it meant ok, thank you, and good bye for now.
Can't people be logical around here? (And that thing you said, what does it mean? and is it really that bad?)
I meant that it takes a person that is willing and wanting to use improper grammer or annoying abbreviations to say things like Lolz or Leetspeek on a forum. A forum is a place where people have ample time to complete their thoughts coherently and type them out, and not have to omit corrections for expediency's sake, like in Instant messengers or Multiplayer video games.breadlord said:
You should know this already [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/YouShouldKnowThisAlready]. Or at least have picked it up or extrapolated it.breadlord said:
