Um... ADI, maybe? Are some of these plugins compatible with multiple aps? Cuz they never seem to say what ap to use then with.

What maps are you trying to do it on? That plugin is only for zanzi and headlong. There's an app out there to do it though. I think it's just called water level changer. However it only works for maps with water in it(obviously).

Pretty sure it's a specific type of water, too. Beaver creek and coag have water, but I doubt they have a water level running through the whole map for just the little pools and the creek.

i select the SBSP in tags, and wait for a half our with my cpu at 100% and ram at 99% (2.0ghzcpu, 1.25gb ram) for it to load all the dependancies and other crap, then i can use the tag editor, and thats where i change it, then i resign, and upload, but it never has any affect.

what drop down menu? i dont see a drop down menu, if you mean dropdown menu as in the "main" "water" box in the plugin at the bottom of my screenshot, the only selectable thing is 0, there is nothing else in it.

btw, i used stopwatch, 5m, 37s .463
it took one hell of a long time, and thats with 16 background processes running.

yeah, i selected the 0 from the list, then changed the numbrs underneath, i changed them up, down and sideways on many attempts, and it had no effect., and yes i did clear the cashe every time, and yes i did resign.

btw, 500 x 120? thats an odd sise for a sig, ever other forums i go to have either 500 x 150 limits..... ugh, time to make another copy of a sig.
