modding the propeller_wake.txt

to make a brighter and longer lasting wake, what should i change on these stock values?

i don't have a clue what all those numbers are or what they mean.

What is it?
I see, that values of parameters are incorrect.

Are you using a SH3 tweak file there?
looks like all the values are wrong as Anvart said. I think that tweakfile you are using is not set up properly, basically pointing to the wrong code or offset.

yes this is the particles tweak file from sh3

there are none as far as i have found, that are for sh4

i was suspecting it might need fixing when i saw these numbers but like i said i dont know what i was seeing

is it save to assume then that anytime i see numbers like these "7.069602E+28" they are the hex code and not the "value" so the tweak file is needing repair?

all the particles tweak files from sh3 seam to still point to the right files in sh4 so maybe they can all be adjusted to work without being to hard to do.

Well as the offsets will be totally different in SH3 you have to find the right ones again using a hexeditor. Its not that hard but takes a lot of time.

I did a small tut for it here.

Basically you search for "keywords" like "Lifetime" and look what holds what. Also looking at the old tweaker file text will help here. Even if the offsets are off, you will have a hint as to what they could be.

"7.069602E+28" these are also values but not what we are looking for. Normally you would have a nice steady 1 or 2 digit value here, 3 digits as well of course.

Can you upload that particle tweak file...can't seem to find it :p
