Is there an easy way to enlarge effects?
Hi, I'm somewhat new to modding. Is there an easy way to enlarge an effect? I want to make the tank shell impact effect really big. Does any one know how to do this? (I already have HMT) Thanks a bunch!

yes, there's a few thing you can do...
1. in hmt with your map open go to the particle tab(part), go down and find effects/scorpion/shell dirt burst(this is almost at the bottom). In the tag etitor double the min size. If you want to make the life spand just a little big longer to show the effect for longer, change the flame life too. note, if you make it to slow it will look like its in slow motion.
2. Now for the explosion size... Go to particle system(pct). In the sub tab find vehicles/scorpion/shell explosion. click it ofcourse. In the tag editor, change the explosion size to what you think would work. Also make the flame brightness a higher number. What I like to do is make the smoke life, and smoke spread a higher number. Note making the life to long will make the smoke look more 2D. This note goes for anything that is made slower, or bigger, because it streaching or slowing the bitmap. Its like taking a picture That is really small and made bigger, It loses detail.
If there's more you want to do to the explosion let me know, but this is the basic way to do it. There's some more stuff you can do. Let me know if this is not what you want, or you want to do more to the explosion.
