On Mac OS X, updates and such are in ~/.tmw/ as they are on any UNIX-like system.

Also the .app is just a directory structure you can browse which is treated special because of the .app ending in the name of it.

You should be able to just run tmw (or mana if you're using the latest). So, tmw -u.

You've turned down all particle effects to minimum.

Hard to say. Most likely you screwed up the file format so that the whole file can't be parsed anymore. XML parsers are very picky. When you post the changed file we can try to help you finding the error.

There could also be an error message regarding your particle effect in the logfile.

I just copied that code into the original soulmenhir.particle.xml file and the effect works perfectly here - yellow glowing particles with a few smaller red ones.

Maybe a problem with the character encoding of your text editor? Make sure that it saves the file in ANSI/ASCII encoding or in UTF-8 without BOM.

Sorry, but I don't own a mac. I can not help you with configuring it correctly. Consult the help file, the official Apple support or an apple support group to find out how to configure the encoding of your text editor / how to install a text editor where the encoding settings are more intuitively.
