Blastcore Murr Edition(TT Version)

The purpose of this MOD is to differentiate the explosion effects for 250lb、500lb、1000lb、2000lb、FAB‑1500、Kh‑22、FAB‑3000、FAB‑5000、FAB‑9000 bombs. Specifically, I have improved 9 explosion effects based on the "Blastcore Murr Edition" MOD, each corresponding to these 9 weight classes of bombs, missiles, and rockets (details of what was modified are explained below).

However, this is not all of the updates made to this mod. As you can see, the mod has gone through more than 70 updates, which have introduced many new effects. For details on what has been added, you need to check the ‘Change Notes’ on the right side of the page.

This MOD cannot be used alongside common explosion effect mods like "Blastcore Murr Edition," "Blastcore Edited (standalone version)," "ArmaFXP," or "Aaren’s Blast Effects." It must be installed independently.

To ensure this mod functions correctly in multiplayer, please do not install it on the server. It only needs to be installed on each client. It has been confirmed that installing this mod on the server may cause bomb explosion particle effects to fail to display.[/url].

• Underwater Explosion Effects
Added underwater explosion effects for 250lb、500lb、1000lb、2000lb、FAB‑1500、Kh‑22、FAB‑3000、FAB‑5000、FAB‑9000 bombs.
‣ Bombs now use land explosion effects when hitting the ground, and underwater effects when hitting water.

• Rebalanced Bomb Damage
I have redesigned four custom explosion damage scripts specifically for the 250lb、500lb、1000lb、2000lb、FAB‑1500、Kh‑22、FAB‑3000、FAB‑5000、FAB‑9000 bomb categories (yes, I abandoned the default config-based damage system to allow for more flexible damage design). As a result, bombs of the same weight class now use identical explosion damage, regardless of how their damage is configured in their original mods—my damage scripts will override those values. Of course, this only applies to bombs supported by this mod.

Why did I do this? Take the 2000lb bomb from the FIR mod as an example—it can destroy tanks within a 75-meter radius of the explosion, which is insanely powerful. So I reduced the destructive radius against tanks and other vehicles.

In the damage scripts for the 250lb、500lb、1000lb、2000lb、FAB‑1500、Kh‑22、FAB‑3000、FAB‑5000、FAB‑9000 bomb types, vehicle damage has been redesigned to take into account the armor property from the CfgVehicles class. This property is essentially the vehicle’s “hit points,” meaning damage is now calculated relative to each vehicle’s health rather than treating all vehicles as identical.

The new damage falloff uses a mathematically modeled decay function—similar to the power attenuation of a TNT explosion—designed by GPT. This function has the characteristic of an increasingly steep slope, meaning the explosive effect drops off faster with distance, which aligns more closely with real-world blast behavior.

You might feel that the new explosion script seems underpowered. That’s because, in my design, the definition of “vehicle destroyed” means the vehicle is blown apart structurally, rather than the usual understanding of simply being rendered inoperable. For example, if an aircraft was riddled with bomb fragments but its structure remained intact, it loses combat capability, but I don’t consider that “destroyed.” Only when the blast power is strong enough to break the aircraft apart structurally do I consider it destroyed.The advantage of this approach is that it’s more realistic, and since the destruction radius is smaller, fewer particles are generated, which improves performance.

The impulse application function for vehicles has also been redesigned, now factoring in the actual vehicle mass when calculating applied force, instead of assuming all vehicles have the same weight.

This update primarily addresses the unrealistic issue where 250lb、500lb、1000lb、2000lb、FAB‑1500、Kh‑22、FAB‑3000、FAB‑5000、FAB‑9000 bombs could instantly destroy large ships—such as aircraft carriers or battleships in Navel Legend—when hitting their center point.

• Ship & Boat Explosion Effects
The vanilla game did not include any explosion effects when boats or ships were destroyed — this mod adds them.

• High-Quality Video Settings Option
Additionally, several new entries labeled "TT Recommended" have been added to the game’s Video Settings menu. These options offer higher values than the vanilla game, pushing close to the engine’s limits to achieve enhanced visual effects. Of course, if you feel it’s too much for your system, you’re free to choose other options.

• Crater Effect
Added enlarged crater textures and actual terrain deformation effects for 1000lb and 2000lb bombs.
The reason crater deformation effects were not added for 250lb and 500lb bombs is because the resulting craters are too small.
The setTerrainHeight function modifies terrain based on the Terrain Grid unit, meaning the smallest editable terrain area is equal to the Terrain Grid size.
For example, on the Stratis map the Terrain Grid is 4 meters, while on Altis it’s 7.5 meters.
Although this size varies by map, to ensure compatibility across all maps, we use the largest Terrain Grid as the base — in this case, 7.5 meters.
Since the craters created by 250lb and 500lb bombs have diameters smaller than 7.5 meters, they cannot be accurately represented.

• Shockwave Effects
The 2000lb, 1000lb, 500lb, and 250lb bombs in this mod now feature explosion shockwave effects. The impact on vehicles and infantry rely on NVIDIA’s PhysX interface under the hood.
