HELP - Starshells - How can you increase lifetime (illumination)

[sniggles]

Hi guys,

I am using the excellent SH3 Mini Tweaker and have found some references in

Library / particles

called 'starshell.txt' and 'flare.txt'

I have changed the lifetime in these files from 60 to 180 but the star shell still only lasts 1 minute in game.

I think the illumination might be staying but i want the star icon in the sky to last 3 minutes as well. (dissapears after 1 min)

Anyone any ideas or already managed to change the lifetime?

Appreciate any help or advice.

Real u-boats didn't carry starshells!:p

Now that I've had my little realism-nazi moment, I have to admit I have no idea how these computer-things work. I'd love to help, but I'm just a little too stupid.

If your referring to starshells on the U-boat, you do know that historically they didn't carry them ? :hmm:
If you mean those carried by ships.....they just keep firing them as soon as the previous one expired, and they suspect your still around :arrgh!:

Have I answered this before.:hmm:

Whenever you change a file with Minitweaker, it creates a backup in the location of the edited file. You need to remove this backup before your changes will be enabled. I suggest that you don't delete it as you might want to restore the original.
