Description
About the mission

This is a small mission to showcase my completely reworked nuclear blast script.

In the mission you will sweep a small area to find an insurgent hideout. However a terrible threat awaits Altis.

The mission was created with the help of ZEI and 3DEN Enhanced, two mods that I can only recommend to any scenario creator.


About the script

In December 2019 I created my Realistic Nuke script. At the time it was my first real Arma scripting project. It started out as an idea months before and over the course of several more months it became my most complex project yet.
After some time, however, I lost interest in further developing the old script, mainly due to many bugs and bad coding practices inside the script.
So in order to further develop my idea I decided to rewrite the script. I reworked almost every part of the original, this time with more order and more advanced methods.
What you can see in this mission is the result of this rework. It is by far not finished yet, and even some features of the old script are still missing. But with time this version will grow too and hopefully surpass my first attempt at some point.
You can download and read more about the script on its GitHub repository[github.com], which includes a Wiki[github.com] with instructions on how to use the script as well as some FAQ.

Currently not working on it actively, but I might return once I have more time. I think Fire Support Plus has this one as well, but under a different name (like one is Nuke (experimental) or something).

Hey man you still working on this? I still got this script in my favorites, or mission, whatever you wanna call it it's epic. But it was WIP, unfinished. Ever gotten the time to finish it or have you given up on it? Fire Support Plus only has the old nuke to my knowledge too..

Yeah, the mushrrom cloud is the biggest visual difference between the two version. Might bo a good point for some further impvoment on this one.

Obviously a mushroom cloud similar to this one (much more defined, realistic ring with more orange color, due to the fire) would be just what this mod needs.

But I wouldn't blame you if you didn't make it, I don't even know how you made the fires start in the first place.

No problem man, I'll check it out, thanks.

@Poo man, first of all thanks for the feed back, I apreciate it! I think your theory about the format might be right. Maybe I will create new showcase to allow easy access to tesing the nuke.

In the meantime I can recommend you Phenosi's Fire Support Plus mod (https://gtm.steamproxy.vip/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2699465073) which includes both, this and the old version of my nuke, among many other others.

Also I have a theory as to why this version didn't really take off like the others. The format.

The mission was cool and all but it's not really what people want when it comes to mission enhancing scripts. People wanna see a big flashy nuclear mushroom cloud in the cover, they wanna be able to spawn in and instantly be able to trigger the nuke and select different variants.

They wanna have a comparison video showing the differences (side by side explosion).

It's only a theory but that's my guess as to why nobody heard of this yet. Matter of fact I probably wouldn't even have downloaded this if I hadn't seen it was made by you.

Can only recommend.

Also, I do feel like some parts are missing, I dunno how to explain it, it feels somewhat better than the older one, yet still somehow unfinished compared to the older one. Then again it might just be my imagination since you said it was unfinished.

My main problem with this version is the formation of the mushroom cloud, it just seems kinda aesthetically unappealing. I don't know why.

Then also things like the little "rising dust" particles near the explosion, I don't know what they actually are I just know they exist in real life too, I didn't see them in this version either.
