About Bigger Explosions

From Steam Workshop

This mod is a support tool for other mods (including the "Kinetic Devastation" and "Nuclear Weapons" mods) to generate massive explosions through a shared system.

The tool is also open for anyone else to make use via any scripting mods by sending a mod message with the correct information to generate the explosion.

NOTE: Downloading this mod by itself will not do anything. It's only meant to manage explosions generated by other mods.

Steps to Use

1. Create scripting mod 2. Set "Bigger Explosions" as a "Required Item" for the mod 3. To generate an explosion, call:


Vector3D position = ...;   // Position of explosion
Vector3D up = ...;         // Up direction for explosion
Vector3D velocity = ...;   // Velocity of explosion
float radius = ...;        // Radius of explosion
MyAPIUtilities.Static.SendModMessage(4508338751823, string.Join(";", position.X, position.Y, position.Z, up.X, up.Y, up.Z, velocity.X, velocity.Y, velocity.Z, radius));

To generate a camera shake, call:


Vector3D position = ...;   // Position of shake (area that affects cameras)
float radius = ...;        // Radius of shake
MyAPIUtilities.Static.SendModMessage(4508338751824, string.Join(";", position.X, position.Y, position.Z, radius));
// or
IMyPlayer player = ...;
MyAPIUtilities.Static.SendModMessage(4508338751824, player.IdentityId.ToString());

Config Setup

This mod can be customized by making use of the Config.xml file that generates once the mod is loaded. Loading a file with this mod active creates a Config.xml file inside of the save folder (...\Roaming\SpaceEngineers\Saves\<SteamId>\<SaveGameName>\Storage\2667547195.sbm_BiggerExplosions). You can edit the values in this file to change those values in game after loading back into the save.
