AlbinoPolarBear Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 Open it in NifSkope and mess around with Transform > Edit. You will have to scale each individual particle (flash, smoke, sparks etc.) though. You can't resize them all at once. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prensa Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 ZippyDSMlee - Hello! Radius in the explosion settings in GECK controls the area that the explosion affects, anything in that area will be pushed & damaged accordingly. To make the actual explosion effect bigger, use Scale in the .nif. For example with explosiongrenadefrag.nif, open it in Nifskope & expand BSFadeNode. Left click on the very first NiNode to bring it's details up in the Block Details at the bottom. Within that locate "Scale", it's set to 1 by default. Changing the scale will make the explosion bigger, bear in mind that going vastly bigger will probably lose detail so don't go over the top. :) I've not enlarged this type of explosion before but brief testing with various scales seemed to work fine. Remember though that it's the settings in GECK that make the push & damage of an explosion the .nif is just the visual. Hope this helps!

I need it like 5-10times smaller and since you can only scale up it seems its driving mecrazy. Also when you up radius in the explosion form type it not onlyscales up the radius of damage but the size of the visual explosion. Soif I want a tiny explosion for visual sake and a 3 or 20 times largerdamage radius I am screwed trying to change scale, at least useing it inthis manner. >< ====================Here is the weapon I am working on BTW I am going to tone down the saturation on the skin http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v632/zippydsmlee/FO3modszippylabs/Zippylabs-Hellfirecannon-betaskin-nearfinal.jpg And man using nifs for explosions on this bad boy drops those frame rates LOL --------- Can soemone direct me to a tut or information regaurding putting texture on a new weaopn? I need to get this bad boy in the game, already got everything else done. http://zippydsmlee.deviantart.com/art/Zippylabs-centaur-finalmesh-wip-348772776 THANKS SO MUCH FOR THE HELP GUYS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I need it like 5-10 times smaller and since you can only scale up it seems its driving me crazy." You can scale explosiongrenadefrag.nif down. I just tried, set the Scale to 0.05 & it made a tiny little explosion. It was with all the default GECK grenade settings so it still had a big effect area as normal but that's easily adjusted. The explosion was tiny. Some people that have explosive weapons use the Guass rifle explosion. That minigun looks like something Eulogy Jones would use. :) "Can soemone direct me to a tut or information regaurding putting texture on a new weaopn?" I don't know if you're looking for detailed information: http://geck.bethsoft.com/index.php/Creating_A_Custom_Weapon Or if you just need to know how to attach new textures to a model in Nifskope, bottom of this page: http://geck.bethsoft.com/index.php/Basic_Guide:_From_Modeling_Program_to_the_GECK That also has a lot of useful information.

Tried the Gauss explosion nif...its eats more power than the grenade explosion nif :P Okay so now I need to make a lite version, going to use the lazer muzzleflash but how to I change the time on it so it lasts only 1 second? Okay will let you know how far I get with the rest of it. LOL Edited March 2, 2013 by ZippyDSMlee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
