It's taken awhile to complete the updates on the Great Balls of Fire sticky-bomb particle pack.  Took a little extra time with the new added Fire Urn models that are included in the new version.  Originally I wasn't planning on making custom sticky-bomb models, but while working on the version two I somewhat envisioned a look for a new model with the idea. 

The Fire Urns are made to somewhat represent an object that may actually really be shooting from the Demoman Sticky-Bomb Launcher.  So in concept, the Fire Urns have an inside flaming conductor, with a shell that allows the fire to "breathe".  The particles look good with the default models, but I thought it would be fun to at least try and make a custom model that may fit well to join the updated particle system.

Also now added new with the pack are Sandman fire trail particles, which fade to team-color and have added new critical smoke-trail effects.  Since the Sandman particles are emitted less often/seen less often in the game at once time, I added more fire emissions then the sticky-bombs.  There are currently no custom models for the Sandman or Baseball, but maybe in the future I'll create something that would possibly make sense or match.  ;)

If anyone has suggestions on how I could improve on this download, please let me know.  All comments are welcome.  Also any ideas for upgrading the Fire Urn models or new ideas for Sandman Bat & Ball replacements.
