[bill clarke]

Guys how do I get in to the tweaker screens to make these changes ?

I am not real bright but can lift heavy loads

Actually, you will see the flicker in periscope view too. And also if you are on the deck (F4 cam).

The flicker is annoying.

Rats!

How do i open up the files, when i look in tweak files folder, theres nothing showing up, even when i placed the particle.DAT file in there?

Could someone please talk me through editing the tweak files from scratch, the readme seems to say that there are files already in the tweak files folder, but i dont have any , is this right?

thanks for any help

Why my oil fire looks so funny ???

[slipper]

after reading the readme, it would appear i need to download a tweak files package, to enable me to use this program. i have not been able to access timetravelers site at

www.delraydepot.com/tt/sh3.htm

is there any chance anyone could e - mail me the tweak files, would be very gratefull.

@slipper: Here is the TimeTraveler page where the Mini Tweaker utility can be obtained: http://www.delraydepot.com/tt/sh3sdk.htm

I've had no problems accessing a download of this utility from this page. The Mini Tweaker text files also have a download link on that page (scroll down).

The screenshots posted in this thread show how to change the settings for specific Tweak files. TT's current Mini Tweaker utility should have all the latest Tweak files installed in it. If not, do a search for particles.dat thread in this forum... that's where TT may have posted links for additional Tweaker files.

@NiKuTa: If you see very small flames underneath smoke cloud, that means that the fire is dying out and will disappear after a few more minutes..... or it could mean that there was only a small amount of oil to burn... it varies, so you never know what kind of fire will display... it could be small size or very big size...

Here's another sample of various fires, smoke & oil slicks possible from the Tweaker mod... all taken from an upcoming Pacific Mission that I'll be releasing... by the way, all these ships were sunk in shallow harbor water by gunfire (not mine though... to many jabos in the air)...

If someone has tweaked a stock particles.dat to include the Oil slicks and fires, please release for those of us who use the stock particles.dat and would like to have the oppurtunity of using this mod (without using too many complex procedures).

Thanks.

EDIT: Or better yet if someone has managed to integrate the Depth Charge explosion mod by Redwine etc., with Oil slick and Oil Fire mod in one particles.dat.
