Ignore that man clay...... he cant spell numb .....which makes him.....

yes its possible you just in order to make it a permanent change
to your install take the instructions and make the files just like you
would for jsgme. before changing your install permanently use
jsgme to test your set up and make sure its right because after
you do it as a permanent change instead of a mod then theres
no take backs.

to make it a permanent change once you are done making the files
and testing via the mod method then just copy each of the modded
files into the appropriate folder in your game install and overwrite the
exisiting files. this will make permanent changes but again I would advise
testing your changes as a mod prior to commiting the change as if anything
goes wrong after then its uninstall reinstall and start over.

ClayP,

You might also want to make a backup of the original files also,
just in case you might want to go back to the stock game.

Just my $.02 worth of advice.

MM, I have liked your tutorial so far, do you have a idea when
the next section is going to be put out.

Thanks for the tutorial.

assumably by sometime next weekend I think. as this one

Well I'm glad to see it because by the date it was started just as I was coming out of my homeless phase, so I missed it altogether back in January.

I have a comment to make about the very first part. Mush said "Always make a readme." I would like to add that for the sake of users far down the line, please sign your readme as well. I am constantly digging into my files to put up this or that old mod for someone to download, only to find that there is nothing there to tell who made it.

"How can you have any pudding if you don't eat your..." oops, I mean "How can you receive credit if you don't sign your readme?"

Yeah, I know what you mean, if they don't sign it I put down who they were in their readme and some sort of link to the thread so I can keep everything straight later on.

Hello All,

I have been playing around with the SH3 Mini Tweaker just to see what the results would be and I changed a few lines in the torpedo files, I did not see any change in the game, but the Mini Tweaker changed every torpedo file including my back up files, something that I did not expect. Is there a way to edit the files using note pad or something? Can someone explane the entries in the torpedo discriptions and what changes can be made?

Thank you for your time and help,
Darrell
