Explosion Chunks

This mod attempts to add back one of the most sorely missed features in Redux - chunks of ships flying apart when they blow up. This mod overwrites all stock unit and building explosion files and will create actual chunks that both explode, bounce and leave behind scrap.


I am slowly adding more unit-specific chunks to get as close as possible to original Battlezone. The process is unfortunately very time consuming.

Basically how this mod works is it has a fallback generic chunk explosion for ships, pilots and buildings. I am overwriting all stock ODF's though with specific explosions that create chunks of that actual unit. For example, a Czar tank ("svtank") will spawn actual pieces of a Czar on death. However a custom Czar ODF that isn't stock will just use the default chunks unless the ODF creator adds some lines into their ODF.

• Vehicles explode into small and large chunks
  
• Buildings explode into mostly small and sometimes large chunks depending on its size
  
• Pilots explode into a burst of gore and gibs that will rain down on you if shot from the sky (just like in 1.5)

• If you run into freezing/hanging or launch issues, please try using the DX9 renderer. I don't know why DX11 is having trouble with this mod, but I'm looking into it. DX11 seems overall much more buggy anyhow. Add this to your Steam launch parameter if necessary. "-renderer:dx9"

Big thanks to Lancelot Chan for extensive testing, debugging and troubleshooting.
