Well, now that I'm back home and have had the chance to pick this mod apart and do some testing, I've come to the conclusion that it is currently not possible to give the minigun its old muzzleflash back. I've inserted it into the CTX just like the other weapons and the minigun's specific muzzleflash model is still in the GCF, but something is preventing it from working. I also noticed that the line specifying the minigun's old model-based shell ejection is still in its CTX clear as day, so either another script that I'm somehow overlooking (and believe me, I've combed the SHIT out of all the relevant GCFs) is changing the muzzleflash/shells into particles or it's simply hard-coded into the engine.
So in short, there isn't much we can do for the minigun at this point until someone makes another breakthrough discovery. I just hope people will stop whining about the minigun not having a muzzleflash in this mod now and appreciate what we do have; it wasn't long ago the community was begging for the very ability to put model muzzleflashes onto the weapons and well, here we are! Just not with the minigun. Hey, I tried! v:v:v
As a side note, would any modelers out there be up to the task of making a new double-barrel muzzleflash model for the scatterguns? It's possible to specify a specific model for each weapon type.

Thanks for trying anyway.
Just tried and thought it was great, I was totally wrong.
