Awesome..... Thank You!

Ok.. point taken.

So can you answer this, if I alter a file/folder and put it in the addon folder, then send a copy of that file/folder to a friend and have them put it in their addon folder, can we still play multiplayer together and will BZ2 read those files in our MP game?

There is currently nothing in my addon folder... my question is why when I change the xbmbxpl.odf in the patch13.pak, it does nothing to change it in game. My real life friends and myself play this together, and one of my friends changed a sabre to carry only a mortar which he had also upgraded to b...

Is that why there is no change to my game or just a way to play multiplayer without bad assests?

Ok.... I use the pak explorer (pakex) and navigate to my patch13.pak. I then go to effects>explostions, and export the xbmbxpl.odf (Day Wrecker) file to my desktop. I make lots of changes, save the file, reopen pakex and delete the original xbmbxpl.odf that is still in patch13.pak and import my chan...

Is the "Day Wrecker" .odf file for Instant Action in the data.pak and the .odf for multiplayer in the patch13.pak?

Look at any and all Explosion odfs you can find. Look at how they did things. Study, learn, and experiment on your own.

Unless one of them say "this is how you make the mushroom cloud for the Day Wrecker," it's not gonna happen. I want my guide!!!

First off, thank you very much for looking for that guide. I read it and it is not the one I had, but there is some really useful info in there!! = ) Pretty sure the Day Wrecker .odf guide was not on this site, this is the first time I have been here. Maybe it was on BZ Uninverse. Anyway, I will kee...

Without the assets, that MOD isn't any help, I changed what I could, but he added a ton of stuff for the look he got. I was hoping someone would see this thread and maybe remember where that guide is or even have it, it told you what to change and what to change it to. It wasn't nearly as spectacula...

Well, that is more than I would need, but if I could get a guide on how to do that mushroom cloud, I would be happy!

Even just a small one (mushroom cloud).

Thank you all for your input, I am now able to edit the Nuke successfully! I DO wish I had that guide back now though, so I would know what things to change and what to change them to. At the moment, I am able to make a huge fire dome like thing around the explosion, can change the radius, etc., but...

Wow... ty for taking the time to let me know all that info! One quick question though, when I put apwrck into the editor, how do I make it explode? Also, the PAK Explorer doesn't seem to be saving my changes.

Yes I do mean the Day Wrecker dropped from the bomber. What I need to know is what to change and what to change it to. I only play IA games, so MP is not an issue, and I always backup files anyway in case I do decide to play MP. I used to have a guide that told me what starting color, ending color, ...

I would like to "enhance" the look of the nuke in BZ2. I am running PB 1.3.6.2 on a Win 7 machine and using the PAK Explorer. Poked around in patch13.pak, went to effects, and got kinda lost in there. Any tips or help would be greatly appreciated, and yes I know to back up files b4 I alter...
