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

@Axeface I must be honest in that I can only guess. My changes are done via lowering the range of explosions all to 1, rather than removing the explosion node from their respective locations. It implies to me that you can change values on existing ships, but not remove values.

Can I ask how you managed to make this work mid-save and with mod ships?

Thank you!
