Okay, I will try.. I think we are concerned with the TorpExplosionGreat

Probably

Each particle generator got its own work (possibly one for the water column, one for vapourized water, one for dark smoke, etc), but they all get mixed in the final effect. Keeping all of them active might confuse us. Better editing them one by one, and temporarily disable the remaining ones. I agree with you that TorpExplosionGreat is the best candidate to start with

BTW have you noticed TDW's converter has revers conversion.. I mean - 1000 to HEX is 00 00 7A 44.. FloatConvert did it so - 1000 → 44 7A 00 00

The hex number given by the app is it's actual hex value. When working with hex editor you have to take endian type into account. Almost all PCs are little endian by default thus least significant byte is first when viewed in hex editor. Most hex editors let you choose the endian style viewed.

1000 little endian is thus:
00 00 7A 44

1000 big endian is thus:
44 7A 00 00

The app I gave you a link to displays values in big endian notation.

No, I haven't started messing with it yet. Well spotted anyway: this would have probably been my first mistake

Ah.. I see now
Thanks for the explanation
