Do InterContinental Ballistic Missiles exist in vehicle size? I always thought you needed a silo or some such... well whatever, it's the future and we won't ever need to demonstrate it's capability (no intercontinental maps) so it doesn't really matter.

I bear gifts:

Looks awesome when its not lagging like hell .
Only thing I would possibly do to improve visuals is maybe to make shockwave particles invisible(or less visible) and add more smoke and spread lots of it on sides to represent shockwave spreading on ground. Adding radioactiveness and EMP would be nice but its taking it little bit too far, wouldn't it?

Absolutely. Remember that a fair quantity of America/Russia's nuclear capability lies in boomer subs. The Russians also spent a shitload of money developing rail launchers and truck-launched ICBMs to take advantage of Russia's vast land-space and allow continued functionality after the land-based silos had been disabled.

Huge update here, I've been working over-time on the mod and Duh helped in making the ACRocket so here comes the 0.6v.

Here's a little time line to get you up to date :

0.4 - GRBM WIP Included + a few minor modifications and the ACRocket
0.5 - Changed the Explosion, now i need your opinion on this one because i made it WAY bigger and WAY stronger.
0.6 - PNL WIP included too, don't worry the VSPNL will surely come when I'll ask Ivan's permission.

This is it folks, enjoy!

EDIT : That gif looks totally AWESOME! Putting it on the front page.

Played around with it, input-
The explosions are fine as-is, but it's an entirely shockwave-reliant weapon. Well, mostly. Throw in some spawned actors or emitters or whatever to irradiate the immediate blast zone for a little while. Make the actual shockwave less visible.
The launcher's a lot of fun, but it needs work. It's nearly always a suicide weapon because it fires this ♥♥♥♥ huge rocket like a grenade- it doesn't really work. Either make it a functional rocket and increase the- what is it, the weapon's sharpness or zoomdistance?- so you can scope out the target from a distance.
Either that, or completely re-work the sprites so it fires a more grenade-like projectile. Hell, make a Fat Man launcher.

Well actually it almost shoot as much as a fat man launcher, just that the bomb it throw is so huge it kills the actor if he's not in cover. But i do agree it have to shoot a little farther. As for the real fat man launcher, i would need to tweak the explosion to make it a little less... big. I'll see to that next update!

It would be fun to use that bug(?) when you crash rocket loaded with hundreds of crabs, actors all around(even behind wall/in cover) tend to gib violently, it would nicely simulate extreme heat and ripping apart air pressure, sharp particles aren't very good way to represent shockwave . Still it would be tricky to do properly and would lag terribly.

Ps. Its lots of fun to drop icbm loaded with dropable nukes

There's a version of the fatman that fires 8 nukes at once... do you plan on making that?

Sounds like a crazy overkill

I wish that the vanilla actors would just spawn quicker and more so I can have more fun killing. That would be especially tasty with the nukes.

Anyone know where that activities ini is?

Also, is it possible for the nuke to shoot out more particles and cover larger ground instead of carving a little crater?

Hell the new nuke kinda covers a huge ground with the shockwave and a big crater...

And uh... Maybe the VSPNL will have 8 missiles on it like a big Missile Launcher Box thingy. But with the size of the missiles i don't plan on doing a 8 bomb infantry wearing nuke launcher...

This is almost turning into a nuke faction where eveything's nuke!!!

@duo9ace: The activities.ini you are looking for is at Missions.rte\Activities.ini.
Go down to the Skirmish Defence activity and change the SpawnIntervalHardest = <yournewtime>. Times are in milliseconds, so 8000 means 8 sec.

OT: Liking the development of this, Makes me want the controllable version now.
The porta-nuke launcher needs some work. Increase the range, set the projectile's OrientToVel, (makes the projectile face the direction that it's traveling in, see the dummy grenade launcher) and make the rocket on the launcher be the magazine, and have it disappear right away. That will make it look like you actually fired the nuke (check out ivan's RPG, I believe it uses such a method)

Edit: Whoops, big pic. Made a link.
Russian one.

That's an awefully nice bomb you made there, deathbringer.

The only nuke that can top this is a nuke with a mushroom cloud made entirely out of emitters and particles.

Its possible too, but first you need to find out how to make all the emitters spawn correctly, shook is a pro at that if youre interested.

Edit: After testing I'd suggest the following:
-Get a epic nuclear explosion sound
-Get rid of the pineapple nade gibs and replace it with something more proper.
-Lower the amount of particles. The 0.3 version nuke was pretty good. Its how'd it would be more balanced. This new one in version 0.6 simply rapes.
-Make shockwaves less visible or invisible (Color RGB 255,0,255)
-Add a fallout emitter to emit some radiation or just intense heat after the explosion.
