[01DOGG01]

@hanfgamer LOL no worries :D

[greenpurplelampshade]

How do you get into the text file to mod it? the video isnt high res enough to see the file name.

[01DOGG01]

Opening it up with notepad might be a start... i thought it was obvious in the video.

[greenpurplelampshade]

Yeah, i meant what file to open up? what is the file name? is it a .cfg, or oe cake itself...? since oe cake is compiled, i would thing opening it w/ notepad would just give you gibberish... Thanks :)

oh, and also, how do you change the scale on oecake like in your nuclear explosion video?

Most appreciated

[01DOGG01]

It perplexes me how you can be asking this stuff when it is covered in the first 35 seconds of this very video.

Save a blank file and open it notepad. How simple does it get?

[recon1283]

@01DOGG01 dude clear color alpha is possibly how clear the background is because in all painting programs alpha and the transprency...

[stod123]

If i try the blob and texture, its going RLLY slow...

[Michaelawesome07734]

I save it to file, but then can't open it.

[makkaratikkumies]

[kyron1998]
