Explosions Are Just For Show

ok so the one from nexus isnt working right for some reason, but this one from steam works just fine. tested 3 times from same distance i was losing turrets before with nexus one installed. no turret damage with the steam version. so mod is working as of now

anybody figure out how to work this? i just spent a long *** time and lots of money outfitting a raptor to take on capitals, it melts a K, but the explosion after is still killing over half of my turrets.. its kinda bumming me out.

could it help to play with the "explosioneffect strength" at the defaults.xml?

Actually i just killed a k and it took my shields down. It doesn't look like it is working even with the changes i suggested.

Thanks for updating Kelp. This mod is so important for so many people.

ty!

Has been updated as per SirBiggles suggestion (thanks for that); also removed another potential source of damage from Station explosions.

Looking through the effects files it might be restructured. Try adding these lines to the mod Ex_01.dat with a text editor. You will also need to edit the mod id in content.xml so steam workshop doesn't override it.


<replace sel="/effects/effect [@name='ref_explosion_damage_effect_l_01']/elements/element [@id='2']/areadamage/@range">1</replace>

<replace sel="/effects/effect [@name='ref_explosion_damage_effect_xl_01']/elements/element [@id='2']/areadamage/@range">1</replace>

Looks like egosoft removed the "areadamage range=" for "ship_explosion_generator", not sure what that means for the mod :D

@Kelp Thats a great approach. I was very curious as i'de like to do something slightly different and ide rather not have to patch 100s of xmls. Thanks for the reply
