New explosion FXs (RK's Explosions)

[Sir Prize]

Glad to hear it's not abandoned and I wouldn't ask that you do a half arsed job! I know it's been a lot of hard work and that's why I posted - you said you aren't working on it anymore, that sounded final to me so I'm glad I misread it .

How easy is it to change the point that the exploding units become reclaimable to match normal explosions? It's the only part I can see where your mod interacts with the sim in a meaningful way.

Basically I think it depends on when onkilled is called, icedreamer has a fix working that solves most of it.

It is very easy, but it's not the problem. When the mod is toggled "off" it's technically still loaded, and so the timing for when exploding units become reclaimbable is the same. The only thing different is what you see, not what actually happens sim-wise. If you look carefully, on bigger experimental units the standard-looking explosions have the exact same timing and positioning as the factional explosions, except they just look standard. So that's not the problem in this case.

Hey... is there a reason why I can't activate the mod? It tells me "please update to the newest version". Reinstalling the mod doesn't help ...

[BassMonkey]

That's because the latest version of this mod was blacklisted due to incompatibilities with the current FAF versions. The creator of the mod has to fix the issues first so it can be used again. However they don't seem to be active at the moment.

EDIT: If someone is willing and capable to fix the bug, you could just fork the repo and file a pull request after you fixed it:

Ok thanks for the information.

Is the development of this mod dead?

As you can see yes.

Anyone know what specific part is broken? Like which bit of code?
