So I understand that lawena 4.0 has bolty's particle pack that you can use by checking certain boxes in the settings. Even though everyone says they're overused yadda yadda, I really really like the explosion fx. It looks really nice with rockets. I noticed that for the stickys/pipes, you can get the explosion fx as well, but it also replaces the original grenade trail/sticky trail with a really ugly partical trail IMO. Is there any way to have the sticky/grenade explosion fx without bolty's particle trail?

You'll need GCF Scape to extract the individual particles.
Go to the location of your Lawena installation > lawena (the folder) > custom > pldx_particles. Open this with GCF Scape and copy the [name of custom explosion file].pcf
Put this in your tf > custom folder and you should be good to go on all sv_pure 0 servers.

you misunderstood me. I don't need these for playing. I need this for video editing to record with lawena. As far as I know you can actually get all the .pcf files from bolty's mediafire still. My dilemma is that I love the explosion fx, but I hate the trail it emits on stickybombs/grenades. It just looks bad in a video.

As far as I know the sticky trail particle is separate from the explosion particle. You should be able to put just the explosion particle into your tf/custom folder. Perhaps rename it to some gibberish when you're not recording or remove it from your custom folder when playing normally.
