I'm just pondering, how you increase the blast radius of exploscives? I'm trying to make one of the arty units fire a round that has more spash to it. What part of the .ini do I mod? Or is there a link to this?

The lifetime or speed of the particles would have to be higher for them to go further.

Okays! I'll see about increasing the life of those poor things!
But, thanks! (never thunk about the particles...)

-raises hand-
But what part? I'm lost in all the things that look infinitely the same..

Code:
AddDevice = TDExplosive

   RestThreshold = -500
   HitsMOs = 1
   GetsHitByMOs = 1

      X = 0
      Y = 0
   EntryWound = AEmitter
      CopyOf = Dent Metal
   ExitWound = AEmitter
      CopyOf = Dent Metal

      Spread = 360
      MaxVelocity = 30
      MinVelocity = 15
   AddGib = Gib
      GibParticle = MOPixel
         CopyOf = Grenade Fragment Yellow
      Count = 50
      Spread = 360
      MaxVelocity = 40
      MinVelocity = 20

         CopyOf = Fragment Glow Effect
      Count = 30
      Spread = 360
      MaxVelocity = 10
      MinVelocity = 5
   AddGib = Gib
      GibParticle = MOSParticle
         CopyOf = Side Thruster Blast Ball 1 Glow
      Count = 15
      Spread = 360
      MaxVelocity = 15
      MinVelocity = 8
   AddGib = Gib
      GibParticle = MOSParticle
         CopyOf = Main Thruster Blast Ball 1 Glow
      Count = 15
      Spread = 360
      MaxVelocity = 15
      MinVelocity = 8
   GibImpulseLimit = 10
   GibSound = Sound
      AddSample = ContentFile
         Path = Base.rte/Sounds/Explode2.wav


That's the main part I'm staring at, but I can't wrap my head around where to increase the lifespan or speed of the dang things! D:

Code:
   AddGib = Gib
      GibParticle = MOPixel
         CopyOf = Grenade Fragment Gray
      Count = 40
      Spread = 360
      MaxVelocity = 30
      MinVelocity = 15
   AddGib = Gib
      GibParticle = MOPixel
         CopyOf = Grenade Fragment Yellow
      Count = 50
      Spread = 360
      MaxVelocity = 40
      MinVelocity = 20


In these ones, change the Min/Max velocity to make them go faster (so they go farther in the time they live), or you'd have to change the lifetime of the actual particle, which is in a different .ini. You can also up the count to make more particles, and therefore more chance of damage.

The way these kinds of bullets work is that they explode and "gib" stuff when they die. These bullets have a GibImpulseLimit of 10, so they're relatively easy to destroy, and then they do die, everything that has an "AddGib" before it will come out of the bullet with those settings (count/spread/velocity).

:D A bullet gib! It all makes sense now!~ Thank you Lord Tim! Now I can artillery thinkgs with glee!

-skips off with idolization and glee-


But truthfully, thanks! I don't know how to fool with the ini's much to get the effects I want, but I really appreciate the time taken to explain it.
