@ JUICY
Hey Welcome! Tell us a little about yourself! Where are you from, your game prefs, do you mod? Stuff like that!
Check out the link below, it has links to almost everything custom on TT.
Well I dont mod I have no clue how to create stuff like some other people..... Im from the u.s lol
Ive only bought TT yesterday, but played the demo 4 a couple of weeks, and have been improving on the games........................... Hmmmmmmmmm
That link there is a bit confusing to me lol.... But I dl'ed the ignore script and I cant do anythin with it.... I'd like to use the big-radar thing and use -Z-'s radar skin thing... Lol
Ok, heres a direct link to the Ignore script
Jut follow the directions
From that thread:
Add them to the bottom of the main.cs file...just open it in a text editor..anything will do
Make sure to make a backup copy of all the radar files and of main.cs so u can revert back to them I case it gets hosed
for double size radar dots:
RadarHud.dotWidth = RadarHud.dotWidth + RadarHud.dotWidth;
RadarHud.dotHeight = RadarHud.dotHeight + RadarHud.dotHeight;
for triple size radar dots:
RadarHud.dotWidth = RadarHud.dotWidth + RadarHud.dotWidth + RadarHud.dotWidth;
RadarHud.dotHeight = RadarHud.dotHeight + RadarHud.dotHeight + RadarHud.dotWidth;
If u need the radar even bigger 4x, 5x, etc use the same logic
If u need the radar at 1/2 the size make the images 64 X 64 and the dots smaller:
RadarHud.dotWidth = RadarHud.dotWidth / 2;
RadarHud.dotHeight = RadarHud.dotHeight / 2;
I didnt test the 1/2 size...im not sure if * and / are implemented...try and see
This is for pc....i suck at macs...sry
Hope this helps

I think he is talking about this radar: -z-'s radar . Most of these extra stuff require a code to be placed to bottom of your main.cs file which is found from thinktanks/main.cs.
You don't have to let go of one rope before grabbing the other. But you'll have to let go of one if you want to swing forward.
^ Note that he said "Double Size Radar" in his first post.
What main.cs file?
Do I have to crreate a folder, trhen dl that stuff and put it in that folder or somtin? Im not that intelligent with this stuff u know :P
Before you start to change things in TT you should first get to know what you have...
look in your folder called Shockwave or garage games were ever you bought the game from... Click on the folder you will than see a folder called Think Tanks click on it...you will see two folders one says product other says ui click on product... You should see two more folders one is common one is game you should also see console, and main those two files must be looked at with note pad or any edit program....click on the game folde.... You will see three folders client,data,server alot of what you do will be located in these folders now click on data... You should see 8 folders
just open each one and look at what you have and where things are found it will make helping you and give you a better understanding on how the game is put together
alot of people have had to reinstall their games because they had no clue what they were doing...Planet Think Tanks has a lot of good modders skinners and all around just good people willing to help those who are new but it's a whole lot easier for us if you will take a look and get to know what you have before you start changing things... Just my thoughts.............Welcome To Think Tanks Hope You Enjoy........ :)
Are you running MAC, windows, or Linux?

Always make a backup of your game directory or make a new folder on the desktop, call it tt originals and copy and paste any folder or file you make changes to. This way if the game don't work after you change something you can just go into that folder and replace the original file or folder.

Good idea.. Ill edit this post if I have any more q's
This is the radar I want, but I dunno how to get....
And I cant open anything in a word document, I dunno how lol... Aint I stupid?

And remember, if your game crashes unfixably, you can always uninstall it and reinstall it using the key in your email. No Purchase Neccessary!
Use note pad to open your files you should be able to drag and drop a file into notepad to look at it......
No you ain't stupid.
Guide for radar installation:
-Download the radar
and make sure you download it to place where you find it. Unzip the radar-z.zip and make it unzip to place where you can find it. Don't close this window.
-Go to Start -> My Computer to open up another window.
-Go to your ThinkTanks folder e.g C:/Programs/ThinkTanks. In your Thinktanks folder go to game/client/ui
-Find two files called: radar_base and radar_base.alpha
-Rename both by placing e.g. (old) in front of them. That way you wont lose the original files if you want to change them back later.
-Now change to the window what you used at first. Find the unzipped radar-z, inside it are three files called: radar_base.jpg, radar_base.png and radar_base.alpha. Highlight these three files and press ctrl + v same time to copy them.
-Switch back to ~/ui folder window and press same time ctrl + v to paste the three files to that folder.
Well done! You have now a new radar go get a drink and start TTanks.
You don't have to let go of one rope before grabbing the other. But you'll have to let go of one if you want to swing forward.
