Yet Another Explosion Mod - Hollywood movie-like style

Postby Allin23 » Sun Feb 17, 2008 2:21 pm

Hello all Defconers!

Its my first forum appearance, so i wanted to give You all a welcome gift.

I've been looking for a explosion mod, but although i found some nice ones, none of them was "the thing".
I aimed at making closest to "movie like" nuke explosions seen from above - the colors, size etc, but at the same time i wanted it to be gameplay friendly, so explosions won't cover the target - unless there was numerous impacts one after another. So, i took Photoshop and made something like this:

Overal View

Image

Single Hit

Image

Multiple Hits (large whites are 3+ hits)

Image

And a Naval Combat

Image


I hope You will like it as much as I do ;)

Here's a download link:

Here's a version for Pro usage, reduced explosion radius, guaranteed to not obstruct view at all, even on multiple hits - but looks the same as larger one!

Probably the least ugly "realistic" explosion mod I've seen... good job! Not my thing (I think simple white circles [with bert_the_turtles's holes] fit in better with the game's visual style), but will probably be what some people are looking for :)

Oh and welcome to the forums, enjoy your stay. To maximize your foruming experience, talk to microchip08 and mispronounce xander a lot.

Well, thanks - a nice words are always honey on creator's heart.

There will be a problem with mispronouncing xander though, there was a "xander root" in Fallout 2, the herb to make medicine pouches - so it kinda carved itself in my brain cells ;)

Misspelling xander is the way forward.
Here is my signature. Make of it what you will.
