Need help editing the GTA SA ar_stats.dat file

[[]D[][]\/[][]D]

I need some help editing the ar_stats.dat file for GTA SA. I want to edit it so that all the stats increase much faster, except for the fat stat. Can someone please tell me what numbers to use to complete this? Here's how the normal ar_stats.dat file looks like on Notepad:

 

#######################################

# ar_stats.dat #

# stores the stats reaction variables #

#######################################

 

# note - numbers on left hand must align up!

# any new stats needed see DerekP, otherwise

# feel free to adjust values!

 

 

#######################################################################

 

# IMPORTANT: If you add/remove anything from this LIST make sure

# you update enum in STATS.H accordingly!

In the comments it tells you that for every time you fire the pistol the skill goes up by 0.8.

 

The comments tell you everything you need to know about this file and how to change it, read the comments, change the values and experiment with it in the game. If after that post your problem.
