Projectiles and Water Fixes

I'm currently working on getting the projectiles to interact with water again. This was apparantly ripped out, on accident?, when they were ripping out Tribes 2 related code.
Currently I have two things working on my "to fix" list.
1) a water splash when a projectile first hits the water
and
2) a new particle emitter used when a projectile is in water
as you can see in the links I provided it works rather nicely.
There are a couple more things I would like to fix before I will consider the fix 'done'. An obvious one, is getting a underwater explosion working and the last is getting a looping audio sound for when the projectile is in the air. I noticed that it currently isn't possible for a projectile to have a sound, even though there was in Tribes 2, so I believe this was inadvertantly ripped out as well.
So, thats what I've been working on lately. Feel free to share any information you think I might need to get these last two things working, especially the sound. Thanks! :)

Here is an image of the explosion. (note: I'm using a custom explosion dts that a friend of mine made and I'm also using the water emitter textures from Tribes 2 at the moment)
Edit: sorry for the size of the image
