White Railgun Beam?

Hi,
I'm new to the quake series but have been playing my ass off in Q4. I've seen several people shooting white beams out of their railguns. This is in pure servers and w/ PB on. I was wondering if there was something in the config that lets u control the color of the rail to set it for other colors other than the ones in the gui. If so, how would one go about to messing w/ that? Thanks

seta ui_hitscanTint "360.0 0.0 1.0"
It will still be green/orange in team games.

uf you set the opacity as 0 is your rail trail invisible?

just convert it from 0-9 scale to 0-360 scale
(so 0=0 , 9 = 360 etc)

Thank you MKJ!
Another question. Do you know what each number means or what it stands for? For example:
seta ui_hitscantint "360.0 0.0 1.0"
360= ?
0= ?
0.0= ?
1.0= ?

the points are decimals, so there are actually just 3 numbers;
one for hue, one for saturation (higher is more vivid) and one for opacity (higher is more opaque).
come to think of it, the other link i gave you wouldnt help you much unless you converted the rgb values from 0-9 to 0-255, and then convert that to the Hue/Sat table.. quite a hassle indeed
