That's not a texture. That's a material. The material browser should be able to find most materials in the game. But a few are hidden by default. I forgot where the blacklist of stuff to hide is located, but it's editable.

I followed these instructions to make an effect as a texture, but all I got was a bunch of useless jiberrish. Can you elaborate more on the process?
