Not much of a mod really, but I got tired of explosions masking the units/cities/structures underneath, so I opened up the explosion.bmp file in Photoshop and changed the opacity to 35%. Download here:

Dimmer explosion mod
Moderator: Defcon moderators
Ah, explosions!
While I quite like the fact that nuking a city makes it glow brighter than ... well, bright ... I agree that it makes it quite a bit harder to figure out what the heck was just hit
You know, by adding a bright thing ring around it's perimeter, it'd almost look like a shock-wave ... and you'd be able to count how many times in a row something had just been hit. Just a suggestion.
Might look weird when planes fire at each other, though

Re: Dimmer explosion mod
The link does not work.
Anyway... how do I add this in the Steam version?

This thread was last active 7 years ago. It is unsurprising that the link does not work. Seven years is a long time on the internet.

Presumably the way that any other mod works: add it to the mods folder. There are instructions somewhere on the forum that can probably be found through searching, though you might first look to see if there are any stickies that help.

Re: Dimmer explosion mod
I recognized the age of this discousion. I just wanted to ask for a re-up^^
And I have read the discousion about mods in Steam but the advice is for Mac users and the path differes from mine. But I have wrote a question there now.
