Hi,
I have a question about modding for ZH. Some of you migth know the Shockwave mod right?
It's a cool mod, but when I play with friends against several AI's (we don't play against humans any more... too many whiners/cheaters/norushers out there. We only play against each other in LAN parties sometimes), we play the normal ZH without mods.

Now here is the thing, you probably all agree that the nuclear explosion from the regular nuke missile SUCKS. It looks awful and is not powerful at all. The nuke explosion in Shockwave however is brilliant. Huge flash, repeated impacts, debris flying over the whole map and even trees spontaneously lite to fire.

I'd like to use that one animation whenever I play the regular ZH. So I'd like to know how the nuke animation can be edited. Obviously, if I have to use something that the guys from Shockwave made, I'll ask their permission first... I create maps for FPS games and I do know what respect for fellow artists means :)
I'll try to post screenshots of that awesome explosions if you want them but basically I just need to know if and how the nuke explosion can be edited. It's the only thing I'm interested in. The nuke mig explosions or nuke cannon explosions are fine like they are now.

Thanks in advance.

Have you ever modded before? I would tell you to just look at how the shockwave guys did it, but if you have no experience, that would be quite pointless.
