-----Notes to Modmakers-----

Spoiler :

If you want to use The Atomic Bomb Mod in your mod I have tried
to make things as easy as possible for you.

In the SDK files I have added:

/*** THE ATOMIC BOMB MOD 4 October 2007 by Grave START ***/
/*** THE ATOMIC BOMB MOD 4 October 2007 by Grave END ***/

in all of the places that I have made changes to
the original files.




If you would like to use this MODCOMP in your MOD, all I ask
is that you give me proper credit, be it in the readme,
in the MOD's thread, etc.

-----===Credits & Thanks===-----

Very Nice (woodelf position)

 

[doronron]

Nice, but someone still needs to take the B-29 in the downloads DB and mate it to this SDK change. It looks odd to see a Lancaster dropping the A-Bomb...

 

[GarretSidzaka]

yeah, that can easily be done with a model graft. i made the unit like that for simplicity of creation (the default models are always avalible) and because that unit was meant for Road to War Mod, and any civ can build it (civ generic).

I do agree with you, tho

 

[doronron]

If I were more proficient with Scene Viewer or NifSkope, I'd do it myself. Unfortunately, though, I'm not...

 

[[WTN]Manhattan]

is the Atomic Bomber interceptable by other aircrafts?

 

[Dale]

It is in Road to War.

 

[[WTN]Manhattan]

I tried it out in the World Builder. They never intercept it and sometimes there is no nuclear blast animation. Any idea what's the proble,m?

 

[[WTN]Manhattan]

Anyone have some experience about the inteception thing? I just wonder if I did something wrong when implementing the mod or if it is really a bug that they never intercept the bomber. I need that component urgently for my mod but I have no SDK skill so I can't check it be myself...

Yes, I ran into the problem too after you brought it forward. It just took me a while to get it properly updated.




** UPDATE **

Version 0.2 is out!

Fixes bug where Atomic Bomber could never be intercepted. See original post for details, and re-download from the link provided, also on the original post.

 

[Grave]

Updated to be BtS v3.13 compatable!

 

[Thomas SG]

Did you notice that there is a nuke bomber pack including the repaired bomber (probs are animated) and other bomber types? And did you notice that Dale repaired the interception? I think this thread needs an update.

THIS MOD IS NO LONGER SUPPORTED BY ME, AND THE DOWNLOAD LINK HAS BEEN TAKEN DOWN.



If you would still like to play with this mod, I suggest you download my History in the Making Mod.

Thanks,
