IMPORTANT
SPACING =/= TABBING

It doesn't matter if it lines up when you look at it, what matters is if the game engine recognizes the proper tab character's usage. Which this doesn't.

Replace the spacing with tabbing and it should work.

line 4 of index.ini
lines 264 & 279 of bombs.ini


Oh, and one thing that it looks like you may want to keep in mind in the future of this mod, TDE gibs don't activate their timers. That is to say, that you can't make them explode after a certain amount of time in the way that you regularly would a TDE. So it would be simpler to just use a MOSRot.

Yes it has a gold value and is include in the index.ini

@Azukki: Please explain this tabbing more fully, i haven't heard of it. Thanks for reminding me about the timers btw, ill just make it so the blastoffs can act as mines or something

The tab key. Delete the spaces and use the tab key in notepad when editing the lines he mentioned.

Capitalisation matters more than you expect.

thanks for the explanation about 'tabbing' it works now. Just some tweaks to do to it now. I already knew about capitals, it took me over an hour once to realise it was that :x
